Q: Hello, My friend overstayed their visa for about 5 years in israel, they are US citizens. What happens now?
What state will they be deported to, who pays for the flight? Do they get deported immediantly? Id like to know what happens once they reach the U.S. too.
A:
This is a forum that provides general information about U. S. Immigration law. I am unaware of anyone who practices Israel immigration and deportation. However, more information will be needed for an Israeli attorney can figure this out.
Where is your friend? Is your friend is now being detained by Israeli authorities before deportation to the U.S.? Did this person go through a procedure before a deportation order is/was issued? The Nation of Israel likely has a unit that decides where and when to send U.S. citizens. Does your friend have immediate family members who can contact the Israeli Agency or the U.S. Embassy? Israel may have to coordinate with U.S. authorities, so contacting Citizen Services at the U. S. Embassy in Jerusalem may help. It is unclear if your friend has violated other U.S. laws that contributed to him/her being deported to the U.S. if so, then that can prove to be an issue upon his/her return to the U.S.
