NACARA

Nicaraguan Adjustment and Central American Relief Act

NACARA is a path to obtaining a legal permanent resident for some individuals from Guatemala, El Salvador, and the former Soviet bloc countries who entered the United States and applied for asylum by specified dates or registered for benefits under the settlement agreement in the class action lawsuit American Baptist Churches v. Thornburgh, 760 F. Supp. 796 (N.D. Cal. 1991) (ABC)

After October 2000, it also applied to qualified family members and to certain individuals who have been battered or subjected to extreme cruelty by a permanent resident, U.S. citizen, or by certain program beneficiaries.

Section 203 of NACARA allows qualified individuals to apply for suspension of deportation or for cancellation of removal under the standards similar to those in effect before the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996.
