Kazakh Citizens Living in US Urged to Return Home Amid Immigration Worries
Kazakh Ministry of Foreign Affairs Calls for Voluntary Return of Citizens from the United States
In a recent announcement, the Kazakh Ministry of Foreign Affairs has issued a call for Kazakh citizens currently residing in the United States who are subject to deportation orders to voluntarily return home. This appeal aims to encourage individuals to utilize the CBP Home mobile application, which facilitates a safe and organized departure process.
Citizens who are willing to return to Kazakhstan using the CBP Home mobile application are provided with several options, including voluntary and safe return to the country with the choice of selecting a flight, retaining earnings made in the United States, avoiding detention and forced deportation by U.S. authorities, access to financial assistance for purchasing airline tickets if necessary, and preserving the right to legally re-enter the United States in the future.
Officials have emphasized that failing to voluntarily depart may lead to serious consequences, such as immediate detention and deportation by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS), daily fines of up to $998, applied retroactively for up to five years for those who have ignored court-issued deportation orders, additional penalties ranging from $1,000 to $5,000 for failure to notify through the CBP Home app, confiscation of real estate assets in the event of non-payment of fines, and a prohibition on re-entry to the United States through legal immigration systems.
In light of these potential repercussions, the Kazakh Embassy in the United States is encouraging citizens to take advantage of this opportunity to prevent any negative outcomes. It is essential for affected individuals to consider their options and make an informed decision regarding their return to Kazakhstan.
