If I leave the U.S. voluntarily before a deportation order is issued, would I still have a chance to re-enter later?
I’m in removal proceedings. I’d like to declare my intent to voluntarily depart and leave before a removal order is issued.
I’d like to know if I’d still have a chance to come back to the U.S. later.
Yes, there is still a chance to re-enter. However, you must actually depart voluntarily before the removal order is issued, and be sure to secure the relevant documentation and the judge’s signature confirming this before you leave.
