What type of relief can be available through both administrative and judicial processes?

Voluntary departure is a form of relief available within both administrative and judicial processes. In immigration law, voluntary departure allows an individual to leave the United States at their own expense, rather than facing a formal removal process. This provision is often used as a way to avoid a removal order, which could have negative long-term consequences on an individual's ability to re-enter the country.

When it comes to administrative processes, an immigration judge may grant voluntary departure during removal proceedings. Similarly, it can also be granted in certain situations before a judicial review, as courts can have jurisdiction over cases involving the immigration system and might provide options for voluntary departure in their rulings.

The other options represent forms of relief that are typically pursued exclusively through administrative channels, such as asylum requests, which involve initial applications to immigration authorities, and applications for family reunification, which are orchestrated through administrative applications to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. Conviction waivers are also generally handled in an administrative context and are not typically a judicially available remedy in the same manner as voluntary departure.
