Exhibit 7.1 depicts a simplified version of the detentions and removals process. During the removal process, the individual may apply for a Pre-removal Risk Assessment, or to become a permanent resident. If this risk assessment is negative or if the application for permanent residency is declined, the Agency may still have difficulty obtaining travel documents such as passports or the authority to remove the individual to his or her destination country.
