Cancelation of removal order

You or your attorney could attempt to speak with ICE and request an exercise of prosecutorial discretion to refrain from putting you in front of the immigration court. In the event that it does not work out, kindly note that scheduling cases in the immigration courts across the country takes time as there is a huge backlog of cases. In addition, you or your attorney could make the immigration judge aware of your present situation if you are soon called to hearing. In the absence of other negative factors, most judges and ICE attorneys would agree to a continuance to allow your girlfriend to straighten out her situation, for you to marry, and for her to file a petition on your behalf.
