Voluntary departure is a form of relief from removal granted by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to certain undocumented immigrants who meet specific eligibility criteria.
Voluntary departure allows eligible individuals to leave the United States voluntarily within a specified period, typically 60 days, without being subject to an order of removal or facing future inadmissibility to the U.S. It can provide a way for undocumented immigrants to avoid the negative consequences of removal proceedings, such as a negative impact on their ability to obtain legal status in the future.
