DOJ proposes revisions to applications for cancellation of removal forms, EOIR-42A and EOIR-42B

  1. Original Date Announced

    August 5, 2025

    EOIR published a request for comments on proposed revisions to forms EOIR-42A (“Application for Cancellation of Removal for Certain Permanent Residents”) and EOIR-42B (“Application for Cancellation of Removal and Adjustment of Status for Certain Nonpermanent Residents”). Both forms are used to request cancellation of removal.

    EOIR states that the changes are necessary “to determine the statutory eligibility of individuals in removal proceedings who have been determined to be removable from the United States for cancellation of their removal” and to “provide information relevant to a favorable exercise of discretion.” The proposed revisions additionally update references to filing fee information, include a Privacy Act Notice, include an expiration date for OMB approval, and implement formatting changes.

    The new filing fees will be $700 for EOIR-42A applications and $1600 for EOIR-42B applications.

    Comments are being accepted for 60 days until October 6, 2025.
