What is a voluntary surrender of removal?

A voluntary surrender of removal is a process that occurs when a person subject to removal (deportation) under South Carolina immigration law chooses to accept voluntary removal from the United States. This process is initiated by an individual when they waive their rights to contest removal in an immigration court and simply accept the government’s offer to be removed from the United States. It is generally considered the least burdensome and most efficient removal process. Voluntary surrender of removal is often preferred by the person facing deportation because it alleviates the length of the deportation process and also keeps the person from garnering a punitive record or mark of removal on their immigration status record. This is especially beneficial to those who might not otherwise be eligible to stay in the United States and who could face serious difficulties if they were to return home. It is also beneficial to the U.S. government as it is an efficient and cost effective way to removing immigrants who are not here legally. When considering voluntary surrender of removal, it is important to fully understand the consequences associated with this decision. It is a permanent departure from the United States and in most cases, the person who has been removed will not be allowed to return. Additionally, it is important to speak with an experienced immigration attorney to ensure that all of the individual’s legal rights are being adhered to and that the decision to voluntarily surrender removal is the best decision for their situation.

Una rendición voluntaria de remoción es un procedimiento por el cual un individuo se presenta a las autoridades migratorias y les solicita su propia deportación. Esta alternativa a la deportación tradicional se ofrece a aquellos que llegan a Estados Unidos ilegalmente y que desean salir voluntariamente. Esta opción también está disponible para aquellos que han sido notificados por el Servicio de Inmigración y Ciudadanía de los Estados Unidos (USCIS) para que se presenten a una audiencia de deportación o aquellos que han recibido una órden de deportación. Una vez que una persona se rinde voluntariamente, él o ella pueden ser retirados inmediatamente por los oficiales del USCIS. Esto significa que no tendrán que enfrentar un juicio de deportación o ser puestos en libertad. Además, la persona que se rinde voluntariamente no tendrá que enfrentar una sentencia de deportación o prohibición de regresar por un período específico de tiempo. Un aspecto importante a tener en cuenta al considerar una rendición voluntaria de remoción es que no está disponible para todas las personas. Las personas que han cometido delitos graves, incluyendo violencia física, abuso de menores o drugs-related, no son elegibles para una rendición voluntaria. Además, aquellos que han sido condenados por robo a mano armada, asalto, violación u homicidio también pueden ser inelegibles para una rendición voluntaria.
