James L. Arrasmith · Answer

You may be eligible to apply for cancellation of removal since you have been a lawful permanent resident for many years. To qualify, you generally need to show that you have lived in the U.S. for at least seven years after being admitted and that you have had lawful permanent resident status for at least five years. It’s also important to demonstrate that you have not been convicted of certain crimes that would disqualify you. Given that you have six U.S.-born children, showing that your removal would cause extreme hardship to your family may help your case.   
 
Since your green card is set to expire, you may not be able to renew it while in removal proceedings. However, an expired card does not mean you lose your permanent resident status automatically. You still have rights, and you can continue fighting your case. It’s important to gather all necessary documents, including proof of your long-term residency, family ties, employment history, and community involvement.   
 
You should act quickly to explore all legal options. If possible, consider filing a request to terminate or administratively close the removal proceedings. You may also want to look into any other forms of relief available to you, such as adjustment of status or waivers. Given your long time in the U.S. and your strong family ties, there may be a way to keep you here.
