First of all you should physically present in the United States for a continuous period of at least 10 years preceding the date of the application for cancellation of removal; have been a person of good moral character during the ten-year period; have not been convicted of any crime(s) that; and establish that removal would result in exceptional and extremely unusual hardship to his or her spouse, parent, or child who is a citizen or lawful permanent resident of the United States.
