What is Trump’s Self-Deportation Executive Order?

On May 9, 2025, President Donald Trump signed an Executive Order (“EO”) aimed at incentivizing undocumented migrants to voluntarily leave the United States in exchange for a cash bonus and a free flight.

The EO, entitled Project Homecoming authorizes the U.S. government to pay a $1000 stipend for a one-way plane ticket to any foreign country of their choice.

According to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (“DHS”), it costs an average of $17,000 to arrest, detain and deport an undocumented migrant. The program, which may be challenged in the federal courts, is estimated to save, according to the Trump Administration, billions of dollars in government expenses as Trump continues to push the administration’s mass deportation policy.

Those interested in self-deportation should use the CBP One App. The CBP One App, which was previously used by the Biden Administration to expedite migrants to schedule appointments at official ports of entry before they were paroled into the United States, ended on January 20, 2025- the day Trump was sworn in as the 47th President. The CBO One App is now being used to encourage those in the United States illegally to depart on their own.

Top Ten Mistakes to Avoid When Applying for a U.S. Visa

Applying for a U.S. visa is not always difficult, but it can be easily underestimated. Many problems do not come from one major issue alone.

At Enterline and Partners, our U.S. immigration attorneys help visa applicants identify potential issues before filing. This guide explains the top mistakes when applying for a

DOS Suspension of Immigrant Visa Processing

On August 21, 2026, the United States Department of State (“DOS”) suspended many immigrant visa processing at Embassies and Consulates worldwide. As a result of the pause, many immigrant visa applicants (including K-1 fiancé visa applicants) have had their interviews cancelled. Immigrant visa applicants whose cases are currently undergoing processing, including those who were subject to 221(g) administrative review, have also had their cases placed on while DOS is providing additional training to consular officers concerning public charge inadmissibility. Although the suspension is temporary, DOS has not announced a specific date of when immigrant visa interviews and processing will resume. In addition, the suspension is impacting only applicants who are consular processing at the respective Embassy or Consulate. Immigrant visa applicants whose cases are still pending or processing with the United States Citizenship and Immigration Service or the National Visa Center are not affected by the current situation.
