Greetings Jorge Rivera, immigration attorney.

The answer is YES, and it will probably continue to exist, because it is a law passed by Congress.
The ten-year law is not an executive order that comes and goes with presidents, or that can be removed by a president of the other party. The ten-year law has been passed for many years, it is called "cancellation of removal".

Deception and fraud with the ten-year law

The reason why many people ask about the ten-year law is not only because they could qualify by having ten years in the country and immediate family members such as parents, children or spouses, but also because there is a lot of deception and fraud with this law.

There are lawyers who say "if you have been here for ten years and have children who are citizens, we will fight for the ten-year law," but they don't explain the details. In order to fight for the ten-year law, people have to put themselves in a deportation processand it is in this process that the benefit is requested. Also, it requires a hardship, such as an illness or health problem, and if you don't have it, they will probably deny your case.

Now, what the lawyer is going to tell you is: "I did the work, I presented your case in court, they gave you a work permit while you were waiting and I did everything I could, it's not up to me to decide, it's up to the Immigration Judge" And the lawyer, he knew that you didn't have a strong enough suffering, and I'm going to tell you why:

You must have a strong suffering

The law tells us the type of hardship we need to win a ten-year law case, and it is a hardship that is unusual, it is called "Exceptional and extremely unusual hardship". This means that it has to be something extremely severe, such as having a child in a wheelchair or with cancer, having a paralyzed spouse, or someone in your care who has had a stroke. The suffering must be something serious, very serious, for them to approve. They must be very careful.

What if I am already in court?

The story changes if you are already in court. In Immigration Court, at a hearing, it can take two to three years, and it doesn't matter if your case is weak like an asylum or a ten year law, you are going to apply for something to buy time, because you are already in deportation proceedings in front of a judge in court.
