Voluntary Departure Request and Supporting Documents (if applicable)

Voluntary departure is a form of relief that allows foreign nationals in removal proceedings to leave the United States at their own expense within a specified time frame, in lieu of being subject to a formal order of removal. Voluntary departure has several benefits, including avoiding the negative consequences of a removal order, such as a ban on re-entry to the United States for a certain period. To be eligible for voluntary departure, individuals must meet certain requirements, such as demonstrating good moral character and the financial means to depart the country. In immigration court proceedings, individuals seeking voluntary departure must make an oral or written request and provide supporting documents, such as proof of their ties to their home country, evidence of their financial ability to depart, and documentation of their good moral character. If the immigration judge grants voluntary departure, the individual must depart the United States within the specified time frame and comply with any other conditions imposed by the court.
