Many times, when immigrants are placed in detention with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), our skilled immigration attorneys can present a strong case for them to be released on an immigration bond.
Detained immigrants and foreign nationals in ICE custody are allowed to request immigration bail bonds, also known as ICE bonds. An immigration bond is a set amount of money paid to the U.S. government to secure the release of a noncitizen in ICE detention. The money is returned if the terms of the bond are met once the noncitizen’s case is resolved.
We understand immigration bond requirements and can skillfully argue for our client’s right to an immigration bond in Immigration Court. It’s one of the many legal services we provide at Natalia Darancou Law, PLLC.

Sometimes, an immigration bond will be approved andset at a reasonable amount, other times the immigration bond will be denied or set unreasonably high.
Our immigration attorneys have extensive experience requesting immigration bond hearings and securing our clients a reasonable immigration bond amount.
If you are detained by ICE, you have the right to speak with an immigration attorney. You are even entitled to a confidential Virtual Attorney Visitation (VAV) while detained by ICE if you can’t meet in person for some reason.
While you are not required to have an attorney to request an immigration bond, affordable immigration bail bonds are significantly more likely to be approved with legal representation by an experienced immigration attorney.
This guide to immigration bonds will explain everything you need to know about immigration bail bonds including a detailed explanation of how immigration bail bonds work and a comprehensive explanation of immigration bond requirements.
You are more likely to be approved for an immigration bond and released from ICE detention on an ICE bond if you meet the following requirements:
When requesting an immigration bail bond, the burden of proof to show that you are a good candidate to be released on an immigration bond from ICE detention is on you. That’s why having an experienced immigration lawyer on your side is so important. It’s difficult to gather evidence while detained and you need to know what type of evidence can help you secure an immigration bond.
Evidence that immigration lawyers find is often helpful to convince immigration officials to approve their clients’ immigration bonds include:
Officials may also be more likely to approve your immigration bond out of humanitarian considerations such as if you have a medical condition or if you are the primary caregiver of minor children.
When your immigration attorney secures approval for you to be permitted to be released on an immigration bond, they will set the amount of the immigration bond.
The minimum amount that an immigration bond may be set is $1,500. There is no limit to the amount an immigration judge may set for an immigration bail bond. The amount of the immigration bond will depend on a variety of factors in your case.
Then, an obligor pays the immigration bond. In other words, someone “posts bond” for you.
The person who posts bond for your release guarantees the conditions of your immigration bond are met. They are known as the immigration bond obligor. The immigration bond obligor will have to accept the immigration bond requirements in an agreement recorded on Form I-352. The terms of the immigration bond requirements depend on what type of immigration bond is posted.
Before you can be released from ICE detainment, officials will complete an immigration bond verification process. The immigration bond verification process usually takes a couple of hours depending on several factors. Keep in mind, immigration bond posting hours are weekdays, excluding government holidays, from 9AM until 3PM. Any immigration bond requests received outside of these hours will not be processed until the following business day.
Once you are released from detention, you must follow the terms of your immigration bond requirements fully. This means that if you are expected to check in daily, you must do so. If you have hearing to attend, you must show up on time. You may be required to wear an ankle monitor with GPS tracking and report in regularly by telephone or in person.
You must meet all immigration bond requirements until your case is decided or the obligor’s bond payment will be lost, and your chance of a successful immigration into the United States in the future will be at risk.
The detained noncitizen, family members, friends, employers, an immigration bondsman, or anyone else can pay the immigration bail bond for the noncitizen’s release.
If a Delivery Bond is posted, the immigration bond obligor must make sure that the noncitizen reports to the location and the time and date every time ICE issues them a notice. If a Voluntary Departure Bond is posted, the obligor must provide ICE with proof that the noncitizen left the United States as required. If an Order of Supervision Bond is posted, the obligor must make sure that the noncitizen satisfies all immigration bond requirements in the Order of Supervision issued by ICE.
If a noncitizen flees or breaks the terms of the immigration bond in a substantial way, ICE will notify the obligor by sending Form I-323, Notice- Immigration Bond Breached. When an immigration bond is breached, the immigration bail bond obligor forfeits the money they paid to the U.S. government and will not get it back.
