Hi and good day

I was given a choice of voluntary departing about 2 months ago which i took and voluntary departed and am almost through with a new I-130 process which is about 60-70% completed.I am about to fill the DS-260 form online and was looking through the section where I have to tick if i had been ordered removed from the country within the last 180 days etc.

My question is " I have searched a bunch of topics trying to be certain on some issues that has been bugging me for quite some time

What is the difference between voluntary departing and being ordered removed

2: We never went to trial during removal proceedings.the judge went off record and offered his candid advice on me asking for voluntary departure which I did.

Does that constitute an order that I was asked to voluntary depart?

Thank you

I don't think so, but don't take my word for it. I would post over at http://www.avvo.com and have a lawyer answer for free, as well as some others here.

Voluntary departure = you buy a plane ticket to your home country and voluntarily leave.

Ordered removed = deported at the US government's expense.

I think that's how it works; obviously the government prefers voluntary departure to deportation.

Assuming you were in trouble for illegal presence or overstay You still have a ban for that ( 3 years or 10 years ) and you will still need a hardship waiver if you haven't served your ban. You do not need the second waiver for being deported.

This will not be over quickly. You will not enjoy this.

thanks for the response.I knew I would need a waiver for over saying which I a on right now and praying it gets approved.was just hoping that leaving at your own expense would be favorable in the eyes of the law or maybe I am just being naive
