To get a deport order you must have been sentenced for 12 or more moths.

It must have been a removal order.

A very general question. "Specified time" could be 10 years, by the way. It would be desirable to at least inform the UK BA/UK IS etc, who is dealing with your case, that the person is leaving, so their file could be updated.

It is likely to be a formal 1.5 pages general response, sometimes not even to the point. Hi I applied tier 1 G si...
