Will I be able to come back to the United States?

The answer to this question depends on your individual situation and the type of deportation order that was issued against you. If you have been issued a voluntary departure order, you may return to the United States, provided you have applied for and received permission from the Department of Homeland Security. You may need to apply for a special waiver in order to be granted re-entry. If you have been issued an expedited removal order, however, it is much more difficult to return to the United States. An expedited removal order is usually issued to those who are in the country illegally and do not have proper documentation to remain. This type of order prohibits anyone from returning to the US for a period of ten years; after that time is up, it is possible to apply for a special waiver in order to be granted re-entry. If you have been issued a formal removal order, you face the same restrictions as those with an expedited removal order. You will need to wait the full ten years and then apply for a special waiver in order to be granted re-entry. It is important to note that if you are facing deportation in California, you should seek legal advice. A qualified immigration lawyer can help you understand the specifics of your situation and determine the best course of action.
