If Gloria was ordered removed from the U.S. in 2017 after failing to maintain her nonimmigrant status, what is her period of inadmissibility?

  1. Five years from her removal.

  2. Ten years from her removal.

  3. Three years from her removal.

  4. She is never inadmissible.

After the completion of this ten-year period, Gloria would be eligible to apply for reentry to the United States, provided she meets all other requirements at that time. The ten-year inadmissibility rule applies broadly in these circumstances, reinforcing the significance of maintaining valid immigration status while in the U.S.
