Expedited removal is a procedure that allows U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officials to rapidly deport noncitizens who are undocumented or who have committed misrepresentation or fraud.

Consequences of an Expedited Removal Order If you are issued an expedited removal order, the typical consequence is a five-year ban from reentry (for first time offenders). However, you could be given a ten-year, 20-year, or permanent ban, based on circumstance.

To be eligible for expedited removal, the foreign national must be classified as an arriving alien. This means that they are attempting to enter the U.S. at a border or port of entry, or they recently entered the U.S. unlawfully.

Expedited removal is a process related to immigration enforcement in the United States where an alien is denied entry to and/or physically removed from the country, without going through the normal removal proceedings (which involve hearings before an immigration judge).

If the DHS officer decides that you should be put into Reinstatement proceedings, the officer will give you a written notice called Form I-871 “Notice of Intent/Decision to Reinstate Prior Order.” You have the right to dispute DHS' decision, either by writing down your argument or by talking to the DHS officer.

“Expedited removal” refers to the legal authority given to even low-level immigration officers to order the deportation of some non-U.S. citizens without any of the due-process protections granted to most other people—such as the right to an attorney and to a hearing before a judge.

How Long Does It Take for an Immigration Judge to Make a Decision? There is often a large backlog of immigration cases, meaning it can take months to years for an immigration case to be decided. In some states, it'll take a couple up to three years, depending on the applicant's criminal records (or lack of them).

Cases that qualify for the expedited process can result in a removal order within 2 weeks, while normal cases that don't qualify for the expedited process can take 2 – 3 years or more to reach a final decision through the courts.
