Being Deported?

When our school got our resident permits for us, they were unable to get ones that lasted the entire length of our contract (June 30th, 2010), so our visas only last until the 26th of June. So, I like to say that we are being deported (it's so much more exciting so say that you were deported. It would be a great conversation starter). Matt doesn't like this. Our conversations on the topic usually go something like this

Me (to a third party when asked when we will be returning to the US): Well, we are being deported on the 26th of June.

Matt: No, we aren't

Me: Why?

Matt: Because they aren't sending us home.

Me: Our visas expire, that sounds like being sent home to me. 

Matt: but they aren't 'sending' us home (like, paying for it and escorting us out of the country)

Me: Yes, but we are being kicked out against our will, I think that counts

Matt: (silence)

We have had this conversation many times, so eventually Matt gives up the will to argue anymore. 

I think we are being deported. What say you?
