I would get a second opinion. Prior to 1996, only 10 years of continuous stay with no criminal history had decent chances for a cancellation of removal. Since 1996, (thanks to Lamar Smith, Bill Clinton et. al.), 10 years stay alone is not enough. 10 years stay AND extreme hardship to USC or PR kin is required.

because that is what a lawyer suggested to do and he said for now that is the only way.
