Our client, a native and citizen of Brazil entered the United States on Novemeber 29, 1991. He was referred to Immigration Court in Miami, Florida and we applied for cancellation of removal for non-permanent residents based on hardship to his United States citizen children, one of which was diagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder.

Besides the obvious factors associated with the disorder, the children had been educated entirely in English and did not read and write or speak the Portuguese language. The Immigration Judge found that there was a showing of extreme and exceptionally unusual hardship and granted cancellation of removal to our client who will now be able to remain in the United States caring for his children.
