In order to qualify for voluntary departure, a non-citizen must first admit that s/he is removable. Once admitting removability, the non-citizen may depart voluntarily at his/her own expense during or after the conclusion of the removal proceedings. Depending on one's circumstances, voluntary departure avoids the negative social stigma of removal and allows for a possible return to the United States. There are some statutory requirements for granting of voluntary removal. To read more about Voluntary Departure click here.
