Immigration removal proceedings may conclude with relief granted by the Immigration Judge or removal ordered. Cases may not reach conclusion for reasons such as eligibility for other immigration benefits or changes in circumstances, leading to prosecutorial discretion or legal motion to end proceedings. Termination, dismissal, and administrative closure are distinct ways to conclude proceedings, each with unique legal implications and consequences for the respondent’s immigration status and potential future proceedings. Administrative closure, unlike termination and dismissal, allows for the possibility of re-opening the case and maintaining employment authorization.
