The Board of Immigration Appeals (Board) has denied a cancellation of removal for non-lawful permanent residents case for an applicant who had six qualifying relatives (five U.S.-citizen children and one lawful permanent resident mother). The Board noted that three of the children and the mother had health issues. However, because the applicant and his partner gave conflicting testimony about where the children would live if he was deported, and his partner and mother gave conflicting testimony about the cost of his daughter’s medication in Guatemala, the Board agreed that he had not demonstrated the requisite hardship.
