I have a question.I am in removal proceedings by ICE.I was detained after being out of status F-1 for about 5 months.It was out of the blue they came to my house I had no criminal record or anything.This was around May.However,I had actually been admitted into a professional graduate program for the fall of 2010 so they let me go after six hours but gave me a court date and documents for the court date and all.The court date is in April 2011.However,I was not able to come of up with the money for graduate school and I have decided to just go back home since I don't want to go the court and be given a deportation order and this is what I told ICE and they were fine with that.Do I have any other options and how will this impact returning if I want to come back for grad school in a couple of years.Please advise appropriately.

As long as you voluntarily leave the USA with no more than 6 months overstay, and get this documented, it should not impact future visa petitions or applications.

Looks like you already overstayed for 180 days, so that's a 3-year bar which is triggered the second you leave the US.

If you have a court date in front of an immigration judge and do not show up, you'll be deported in absentia. Even though you have aready left the US by then, you are a deportee. You won't be coming back anytime soon. If you want to leave, you need to file for Voluntary Departure, formally.

There is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism. When I refer to hyphenated Americans, I do not refer to naturalized Americans. Some of the very best Americans I have ever known were naturalized Americans, Americans born abroad. But a hyphenated American is not an American at all . . . . The one absolutely certain way of bringing this nation to ruin, of preventing all possibility of its continuing to be a nation at all, would be to permit it to become a tangle of squabbling nationalities, an intricate knot of German-Americans, Irish-Americans, English-Americans, French-Americans, Scandinavian-Americans or Italian-Americans, each preserving its separate nationality, each at heart feeling more sympathy with Europeans of that nationality, than with the other citizens of the American Republic . . . . There is no such thing as a hyphenated American who is a good American. The only man who is a good American is the man who is an American and nothing else.

Are you a lawyer?My other question is does the overstay keep counting when you are in immigration proceedings once you are in proceedings it does not count until your court date?

Thank you for all your answers.Just to clarify,does the overstay keep counting when I am in removal proceedings because the proceedings document charges me with overstaying for about 5 months.And then I guess it does not count till the court date?
