Immigration Detention and Bond Procedures
When an individual is apprehended by immigration authorities, they may be placed in detention while their immigration case is being processed. During this time, they may be eligible for a bond that would allow them to be released from detention, provided they attend all required court hearings.

FAQs to Help You Prepare!
An immigration bond is a type of bond that allows someone who has been detained by immigration authorities to be released from custody while their immigration case is pending. The bond amount is set by an immigration judge and can vary depending on the circumstances of the case. If the bond is paid and the individual complies with all of the conditions of their release, they will be able to remain in the United States while their case is pending.
Not everyone qualifies for an immigration bond. The decision to grant an immigration bond is made by an immigration judge and depends on a variety of factors, including the individual’s immigration status, criminal history, and ties to the community.

There are two main types of immigration bonds: delivery bonds and voluntary departure bonds. A delivery bond is issued when an individual is detained by immigration authorities and allows them to be released from custody while their case is pending. A voluntary departure bond is issued when an individual agrees to leave the country voluntarily and provides a financial guarantee that they will do so.
Immigration bond money can be obtained through a bond agent, who will charge a fee for their services. The bond agent will require collateral, such as property or a vehicle, to secure the bond. It’s important to work with a reputable bond agent and to understand the terms and conditions of the bond before agreeing to any arrangements.
If you fail to pay the immigration bond, you could face serious consequences, including being re-detained by immigration authorities. It’s important to fulfill all of the conditions of your release and to comply with all of the requirements of your immigration case. If you’re struggling to pay the bond, it’s important to speak with an immigration attorney to explore your options. Contact us at 602-795-5550.
The length of time it takes to get immigration bond money back can vary depending on the circumstances of the case.
