Cancellation of removal is possible through filing form EOIR-42B with the court.
The Application for Cancellation of Removal and Adjustment of Status for Certain Non-Permanent Residents is a legal resource that can prevent immigrants in removal proceedings from remaining in the United States. This resource can be used after receiving a Notice of Appearance in Court (NTA).
One of the sections of the form requires that the applicant have lived in the United States for at least 10 years and add the addresses, zip code and corresponding dates of the places where they lived.

Although it is difficult to benefit from this resource due to the limited number of permits approved each year, the court has resolved cases in favor of immigrants. For example, in April of this year the Supreme Court ruled in favor of immigrants with irregular or poorly planned deportation proceedings.
Alex Gálvez, immigration attorney, explained that “if an undocumented person is 10 years or older in the United States, lacks a criminal record and shows that their removal will cause extreme suffering to an immediate family member, they qualify to request cancellation of deportation through of the EOIR-42B form ”.
