You cannot appeal Expedited Removal. You may also be barred from reentering the US for a minimum of five years and even for life, depending on the severity of the situation that led to your expedited removal.
Voluntary departure refers to leaving the US on your own before completing removal proceedings. You must request voluntary departure before an immigration judge or department of homeland security officer. Otherwise, you may have just self-deported.
You do not qualify for voluntary departure if you:
-
Have prior removal orders
-
Have been convicted of an aggravated felony

A NTA may be delivered:
-
Personally, served by an immigration officer
-
By mail at your last-known address
Receiving a Notice to Appear does not necessarily mean you will be deported. Contact a deportation and removal defense attorney at Dalbir Singh & Associates, P.C. to discuss your case and get recommendations on your next steps.
The deportation process can range from several hours to several years, depending on factors such as:
-
The location of your detention.

Length of time spent in the US.
US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is the federal law enforcement agency in charge of immigrant deportation. ICE’s mission is to protect the US from illegal immigration and cross-border crime that may put national security and public safety at risk.
If you miss your Initial Hearing (known as the Master Calendar Hearing), this will result in an automatic order of removal and a warrant for your arrest. In addition to deportation, you will not be allowed to enter the US for ten years.
If the judge has issued an order of removal and you are not detained and put in ICE custody, you will receive a Bag and Baggage letter after you’ve been ordered deported, known also as Form I-166, at the address on file at the immigration court.
The letter will contain information about where you need to go to report details about leaving the country, including the amount of baggage you can take with you.
If you ignore your removal order, ICE will send your file to the fugitive unit, and you may get arrested.
To return to the United States after an order of removal, you will need a waiver.
Although extremely rare, there are cases where naturalized citizens can lose their US citizenship and be threatened with deportation. Such cases include lying about your identity or criminal activity during the naturalization process.
