Are you or a loved one facing a notice to appear in immigration court? 

In this episode Richard Wilner, Board Certified by the State Bar of California as a Specialist in Immigration and Nationality Law and Founding Shareholder of Wilner & O'Reilly, breaks down the essential forms of legal relief available in removal proceedings. "Removal" is the legal term for deportation, and being in court means your case is heard by a judge rather than an immigration officer.
We dive into the critical details of:
- Asylum & Withholding of Removal: The difference between affirmative and defensive applications. 
- The One-Year Deadline: Why missing this deadline may change your case to "withholding of removal." 
- Cancellation of Removal: How permanent residents and non-residents can qualify to stay in the U.S. 
- The Hardship Standard: Proving "extreme and exceptionally unusual hardship" to qualifying relatives.
