Many people take the risk of entering the United States illegally in search of a better future. By doing so, they are vulnerable to being deported at any time if the authorities apprehend them. However, there are certain exceptions by which an illegal immigrant could obtain a residence permit and avoid deportation, according to the Executive Office of Immigration Review (EOIR), the body in charge of the regulation of immigrants.

One of the first requirements indicated by the EOIR is that people demonstrate with documents that they have been living in the United States for at least a decade, which would help the chances of requesting deportation forgiveness before an immigration judge.

The agency recognizes that this process is long and tedious, but says that about 4,000 people manage to receive this benefit throughout each year.

“If the immigration judge approves the cancellation of deportation, you will be able to obtain a green card, also known as Legal Permanent Residence,” says an official document.

There should be no circumstances under which an illegal can apply for, let alone get, a U.S. green card without first going back home and doing things the correct way.

Yep.  I have colleagues who have been here for ten years working for lower pay while the government and their employer drags their feet on issuing green cards.  They are essentially slaves to their employers, forced to work for lower pay, and if they quit, they get deported immediately.  It ain't right.
