  <title><![CDATA[  Voluntary Departure: Effect of a Motion To Reopen or Reconsider  or a Petition for Review]]></title>

  <description><![CDATA[ The immigration laws provide that an alien may request and 
receive a grant of voluntary departure in certain cases; such a grant 
allows an alien to depart voluntarily during a specified period of time 
after the order is issued, in lieu of being removed under an order of 
removal. Voluntary departure is an agreed upon exchange of benefits 
between the alien and the government that provides tangible benefits 
for aliens who do depart during the time allowed. There are severe 
statutory penalties, however, for aliens who voluntarily fail to depart 
during the time allowed for voluntary departure. This proposed rule 
would amend the Department of Justice (Department) regulations 
regarding voluntary departure to allow an alien to elect to file a 
motion to reopen or reconsider, but also to provide that the alien's 
filing of a motion to reopen or reconsider prior to the expiration of 
the voluntary departure period will have the effect of automatically 
terminating the grant of voluntary departure. Similarly,<script type="text/javascript">
