Who is NOT eligible for reinstatement of a prior order of removal under 241 (a)(5)?

• A. Aliens who leave after being granted voluntary departure
• B. Aliens who enter with a valid visa after expiration
• C. Aliens who do not have a current status
• D. Aliens who have been in the U.S. for more than a year

Answer: (A)

The question addresses eligibility for reinstatement of a prior order of removal under section 241(a)(5) of the Immigration and Nationality Act. In this context, the correct answer identifies individuals who would not qualify for such reinstatement. Aliens who leave after being granted voluntary departure are, in fact, not eligible for reinstatement of a prior order of removal. Voluntary departure allows individuals to leave the country on their own accord within a specified timeframe, and upon leaving under these conditions, they effectively extinguish the previous order of removal. This action prevents the automatic reinstatement of that order, as they have complied with the terms set by the immigration authorities. Each of the other choices represents scenarios where individuals may still have options regarding their immigration status or could potentially be seen differently under immigration law. Thus, the focus on those granted voluntary departure effectively clarifies why they do not fit the category of individuals eligible for reinstatement.
