The Board of Immigration Appeals has dismissed my appeal. Do I have to leave the country right away?

Q: The Board of Immigration Appeals has dismissed my appeal. Do I have to leave the country right away?

A: Not necessarily. In certain cases a person is granted 30 days or 60 days to voluntarily depart the country. Also, a person may be able to file a Petition for Review in Federal Court within 30 days to have another independent Court review their case. A filing of a Petition for Review can stay the removal order until the Federal Court has a chance to decide the case.
