Suspension of deportation has been replaced with a new form of relief called "cancellation of removal." Persons with ten years of continuous physical presence and good moral character and who can show exceptional and extremely unusual hardship to a qualifying U.S. citizen or permanent resident spouse, parent or child may be eligible to obtain permanent residence. The process is not easy and requires a hearing before an Immigration Judge.
