What is a voluntary surrender of removal?

A voluntary surrender of removal, commonly referred to as a ‘voluntary departure’, is a form of deportation used in North Carolina and other states. It occurs when an individual facing deportation agrees to leave the country on their own. Rather than wait for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to deport them, the individual chooses to leave the U.S. voluntarily. In North Carolina, individuals can opt for voluntary surrender of removal if they are not eligible for a stay of removal or removal relief. With voluntary surrender of removal, the individual will be allowed to leave the country without having a removal order placed against them. This means that they will not have a negative mark on their immigration record and can potentially return to the US in the future. In order to qualify for voluntary surrender of removal, the individual must demonstrate ‘good moral character’. This means they must not have committed certain crimes, such as fraud or assault. They must also ensure that all their dependent family members have also left the country with them. Finally, they must show that they have the financial resources to cover their expenses while they are outside the US. By voluntarily surrendering their removal, an individual can limit the negative impacts of deportation. This can be beneficial if the individual wishes to return to the US for a short period of time in the future. However, it is important to understand that any individual pursuing voluntary surrender of removal should always seek legal advice regarding their specific case.

La rendición voluntaria de la eliminación es un mecanismo por el cual una persona enfrenta la eliminación permitiendo que los servicios de inmigración y control de aplicación de la ley (ICE) le otorguen una salida voluntaria de los Estados Unidos. De esta forma, una persona puede dar a los oficiales de ICE la oportunidad de decidir, independientemente si se debe otorgar una salida voluntaria. Durante el proceso de rendición voluntaria, los oficiales de ICE deben decidir si están de acuerdo con la petición del extranjero y considerar varias preguntas, como el tiempo que el individuo ha vivido en los Estados Unidos, el vínculo familiar con otros residentes estadounidenses, la disposición de los extranjeros para cumplir con obligaciones civiles, etc. Si la petición es denegada, el extranjero enfrenta la deportación. En Carolina del Norte, hay varias oficinas de inmigración que pueden ayudar a los solicitantes con el proceso de rendición voluntaria de eliminación. Estas oficinas también pueden proporcionar información sobre cualquier otro proceso de inmigración que pueda estar relacionado. Por lo tanto, si una persona está considerando la rendición voluntaria de la eliminación, debe buscar asesoramiento legal profesional porque cada caso es diferente.
