Comments on: Voluntary Departure – what to do BEFORE you leave http://www.immigrationnewsradio.com/asylum/voluntary-departure-what-to-do-before-you-leave/ ...Latest Immigration News Tue, 19 Apr 2011 02:47:13 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Pamela http://www.immigrationnewsradio.com/asylum/voluntary-departure-what-to-do-before-you-leave/comment-page-2/#comment-5669 Pamela Sun, 27 Mar 2011 13:32:31 +0000 http://www.immigrationnewsradio.com/?p=292#comment-5669 I got married when I was 17 to an american citizen, we filed the petitions but in 2007 when we had the interview we had a fight and he decided to withdraw the petition, we still were together for another year and I remained in the US. In 2008 we got divorced and after a month I got a letter from homeland security saying i had to go to court, when I went they gave me the option of voluntarily depart and I took it, I left within the period of time they gave me and have been back in Peru my country for about 2 years now. I met an american citizen here and we have had a relationship for 1 year now, we intend to marry and he wants me to move there. I was reading the Ineligibilities on the uscis page and its very confusing, reading the voluntarily departure info I found online, it says one of the benefits of this is that you can enter the US as long as you have a visa. Also if I can, would it be better to file a fiance petition or should i get married here in Peru and file the spouse one and wait.

However, they live in San Diego, CA and they want to cross the boarder in Texas to go to OAXACA, MX. Can they get a voluntary departure to be able to pass all check points? victor If someone has lived in the U.S. for over 10 years and now wants to return to Mexico.

She did this because she was moving and she said had no one to take my case so the best she could was ask for voluntary departure. I am married to a us citizen, since then but i because of 10 ban rule i have not applied for anything. I have heard that there are some change concerning the 10yr bar. You can reopen the case. How well is that working? sll I was granted granted voluntary departure in 2006, but never departed this was due to not getting proper advise, my attorney did not even show up for the hearing.

She had since returned to South Korea in 2007 to care for her sick mother with the intention of returning so that we could marry. Under current immigration law she is now bared from legally entering the USA for 10 year, however in the body of your posting you also listed a 3 year bar. Is it possible that my fiance can only be barred for 3 years? I am a U.S. citizen engaged to a
