Which document offers a voluntary departure option to an alien?

• A. Voluntary Departure Notice
• B. Report of Investigation
• C. Warrant for Arrest of Alien
• D. Information for Travel Document/Passport

Answer: (A)

Voluntary departure is a way for an alien to leave the United States on their own terms within a set timeframe, avoiding formal removal proceedings. The document that communicates and formalizes this option is the Voluntary Departure Notice. It tells the person that they have the option to depart voluntarily, outlines the deadline and any conditions, and explains the consequences if they fail to depart or comply. The other documents don’t offer this option: a Report of Investigation records what was found or decided during an inquiry; a Warrant for Arrest of Alien authorizes detention or arrest; and Information for Travel Document/Passport helps someone obtain travel papers but does not provide a voluntary departure path.
