Dallas 42B & 42A Application Attorney
What Is the Difference Between 42A & 42B?
Forms 42A and 42B, while seemingly similar in their numerical designation, serve distinct purposes within the realm of U.S. immigration law. Form 42A is specifically used for the application of Cancellation of Removal for Certain Permanent Residents. This form is primarily utilized by green card holders who find themselves in removal proceedings due to certain kinds of legal infractions. The successful completion and approval of a 42A application can result in the cancellation of the removal process, allowing the individual to retain their permanent residency status. The eligibility for this form hinges on factors such as the length of continuous residence in the U.S., good moral character, and the absence of disqualifying criminal offenses.
On the other hand, Form 42B caters to non-permanent residents through the Non-LPR Cancellation of Removal. This application is a lifeline for individuals who do not hold a green card but have established a significant physical presence in the U.S., demonstrating good moral character over a specified period, and can prove that removal would cause exceptional and extremely unusual hardship to their U.S. citizen or permanent resident spouse, child, or parent.
Unlike 42A, which retains the applicant’s existing legal status, a successful 42B application grants a previously undocumented individual a chance to adjust their status to that of a lawful permanent resident, thus providing a path to eventual citizenship that did not exist prior.

"From Despair to Justice"Mrs. Meaders graciously & passionately took on our family’s immigration & criminal case when all odds were against us. She was open & honest with all communication, never deterred us & worked diligently with the short amount of time she was given. After a nightmare of lies, deceit from a precious Dallas attorney, we truly believe Mrs. Meaders law firm was God sent to help us revive not only our faith in attorneys but help us fight to bring justice to our family member. She had such a short time to fight but that is exactly what she did…fight from the moment we reached out & didn’t stop until she reached her goal for us to see our cousin again. She was honest from the very beginning, no big promises just facts of what she will do & how hard she will work for us. She did exactly that, she communicated with us & with her client openly even if just to calm nerves or ease fear. To give so much for others like Mrs. Meaders has represents a beautiful human being with a passion to help in the hardest times of life. Mrs. Meaders will forever be part of our lives for helping us get through these darkest moments & showing us that there is light in these situations & she’s there to help you. We were told this case was beyond winning, just hope for voluntary deportation at its best. Mrs. Meaders did not give up, she won our family back along with the opportunity to gain citizenship & prove her worth all because she saw our family members worth. Our indebted appreciation to you Mrs. Meaders & your law firm always for your honesty, hard work & integrity. You gave Amalia a second chance! Thank you!!- T. G.
