This is very important. An immigrant may have their voluntary departure request denied! This can happen for a number of reasons. It may occur because of the type of crime you have committed. It may because of the number of times you have already been deported. It may be due to the judge not liking your story and finding you not credible. If this happens your options become extremely limited. You can continue with your deportation hearing and hope for the best or you can chose to take a deportation order.
Both of these have risks associated with them. For example, going forward with a deportation hearing may cost you money or may get you a deportation order if the judge rules against you. A deportation order is just that. You have a judicial decision that says you need to be deported and if you do not leave the country you are looking at some very serious consequences.
One of the most important things to remember for voluntary departures is that it is completely discretionary for the judge to grant.
