        United States or that such alien had come to, entered, resided, 
        remained or been present in the United States in violation of

        authority secured by fraud or otherwise obtained in violation 
        of law, nor does it include authority that has been sought but 
        not approved. No alien shall be deemed to have lawful authority 
        to come to, enter, reside, remain, or be in the United States 
        if such coming to, entry, residence, remaining, or presence 
        was, is, or would be in violation of law.

                and inserting ``paragraphs (1) and (2)''.

                proceedings.--Permission to depart voluntarily under 
                paragraph (2) shall not be valid for a period exceeding 
                60 days, and may be granted only after a finding that 
                the alien has established that the alien has the means 
                to depart the United States and intends to do so. An 
                alien permitted to depart voluntarily under paragraph 
                (2) must post a voluntary departure bond, in an amount 
                necessary to ensure that the alien will depart, to be 
                surrendered upon proof that the alien has departed the 
                United States within the time specified. An immigration 
                judge may waive posting of a voluntary departure bond 
                in individual cases upon a finding that the alien has 
                presented compelling evidence that the posting of a 
                bond will be a serious financial hardship and the alien 
                has presented credible evidence that such a bond is 
                unnecessary to guarantee timely departure.''; and
                    (B) in subsection (b)(2), by striking ``60 days'' 
                and inserting ``45 days''.
            (3) Voluntary departure agreements.--Subsection (c) of such 
        section is amended to read as follows:
    ``(c) Conditions on Voluntary Departure.--
            ``(1) Voluntary departure agreement.--Voluntary departure 
        will be granted only as part of an affirmative agreement by the 
        alien. A voluntary departure agreement under subsection (b) 
        shall include a waiver of the right to any further motion, 
        appeal, application, petition, or petition for review relating 
        to removal or relief or protection from removal.
            ``(2) Concessions by the secretary.--In connection with the 
        alien's agreement to depart voluntarily under paragraph (1), 
        the Secretary of Homeland Security in the exercise of 
        discretion may agree to a reduction in the period of 
        inadmissibility under subparagraph (A) or (B)(i) of section 
        212(a)(9).
            ``(3) Failure to comply with agreement and effect of filing 
        timely appeal.--If an alien agrees to voluntary departure under 
        this section and fails to depart the United States within the 
        time allowed for voluntary departure or fails to comply with 
        any other terms of the agreement (including a failure to timely 
        post any required bond), the alien automatically becomes 
        ineligible for the benefits of the agreement, subject to the 
        penalties described in subsection (d), and subject to an 
        alternate order of removal if voluntary departure was granted 
        under subsection (a)(2) or (b). However, if an alien agrees to 
        voluntary departure but later files a timely appeal of the 
        immigration judge's decision granting voluntary departure, the 
        alien may pursue the appeal instead of the voluntary departure 
        agreement. Such appeal operates to void the alien's voluntary 
        departure agreement and the consequences thereof, but the alien 
        may not again be granted voluntary departure while the alien 
        remains in the United States.''.
            (4) Eligibility.--Subsection (e) of such section is amended 
        to read as follows:

1324a) is amended--
            (1) in subsection (a)(3), by inserting ``(A)'' after

                                entity shall notify the Secretary of 
                                Homeland Security of such fact through 
                                the verification system or in such 
                                other manner as the Secretary may 
                                specify.

        only persons or entities referring for remuneration (whether on 
        a retainer or contingency basis) are included in the
