Has a Bond Already Been Set?
DHS or ICE initially determines whether an immigration bond is available and sets the amount. In cases where an immigration judge has jurisdiction, the judge may review that decision.
Amistad does not decide eligibility, set the bond amount or change a “no bond” determination. We can review the information available and tell you whether we may be able to help post the bond.
Learn About Immigration Bond Eligibility and RequirementsWhat You Need to Get Started
Share as much of the following information as you have:
- Detained person’s full legal name
- A-Number, if available
- Date of birth
- Current detention facility or location
- Bond amount and type, if known
- Your name, phone number and email
You can still contact us if some details are missing. An agent will explain what information is needed next.
What Is an Immigration Bond?
An immigration bond is a financial agreement with the federal government that may allow an eligible person to leave ICE custody while continuing to meet the conditions of the bond.
Posting the bond does not grant legal immigration status or end the immigration case. After release, the person must continue following applicable instructions from ICE and the immigration court.
How Amistad Can Help
We can:
- Review whether a bond amount has already been set.
- Explain the available cash or property collateral option.
- Provide a written breakdown of applicable costs and requirements.
- Prepare the surety bond documents remotely.
- Post an approved bond electronically through ICE eBonds.
- Assist your family in English or Spanish.
We cannot:
- Decide whether someone qualifies for a bond.
- Set, lower or change the bond amount.
- overturn a “no bond” determination.
- Provide legal advice or immigration court representation.
- Control ICE processing or detention facility release procedures.
- Guarantee release or the outcome of the immigration case.
If a bond has not been set or the person is being held without bond, speak with a licensed immigration attorney about the legal options that may be available.
Two Ways to Secure an Immigration Surety Bond
Cash and property collateral are ways to secure the surety bond. They are not separate immigration bond types.
Cash Collateral
Provide the full bond amount as a refundable cash deposit.
- Cash deposit: 100% of the bond amount
- Premium: 2% of the bond amount
- Application fee: $100
- Annual fees: None
The cash deposit is returned in full after ICE formally cancels the bond and all contractual requirements have been satisfied. The premium and application fee are separate from the refundable deposit.
Explore Cash Collateral Immigration BondsProperty Collateral
Qualifying real estate may be used as security instead of providing the entire bond amount in cash.
- Premium: 15% of the bond amount
- Application fee: $100
- Security: A lien on qualifying property
- Annual fees: None
Property ownership, available equity, documentation and approval are reviewed case by case. The lien is released after ICE cancels the bond and all contractual obligations have been completed.
Explore Property Collateral Immigration BondsOther costs, documents or collateral conditions may depend on the circumstances of the case. All applicable charges and requirements will be explained before the agreement is signed.
Estimate Your Immigration Bond CostsImmigration Bond Types We Handle
The bond type is determined by ICE, DHS or an immigration judge with jurisdiction. Amistad cannot select or change the type issued in a particular case.
Delivery Bonds
A delivery bond may allow an eligible person to leave ICE custody while the immigration case continues. The person must comply with the conditions of the bond and respond to applicable notices from ICE or the immigration court.
Voluntary Departure Bonds
A voluntary departure bond may be required when a person has been granted voluntary departure and must leave the United States within the period ordered. Voluntary departure may have important legal consequences. The person should consult a licensed immigration attorney before making decisions about the immigration case.
Order of Supervision Bonds
An order of supervision bond supports compliance with conditions established by ICE. These may include scheduled check-ins, reporting requirements or other instructions.
How the Immigration Bond Process Works
1. Share the Bond Information
Call or apply online with the detained person’s name, A-Number, location and bond amount. Provide whatever information is currently available.
2. Review the Costs and Collateral
We explain the cash or property option, applicable charges and documents required for the case.
3. Complete the Agreement
The person providing the collateral reviews and signs the paperwork and submits the required payment or property documents.
4. Amistad Posts the Bond
After the application and collateral are approved, Amistad submits the surety bond through ICE eBonds. ICE then processes the bond, and the detention facility coordinates the release.
Release times vary according to the facility, the time the bond is accepted, verification requirements and transportation procedures. Amistad cannot promise same-day release.
