ICE detention does not automatically mean a bond has been set. Review the requirements and when legal advice may be needed.
Review Bond RequirementsImmigration Bond Costs & Payment Options in Georgia
If the bond amount is already set, choose an option to see the costs, the collateral it needs, and who handles the process.
Collateral is not the same as our service charges. Collateral (cash or approved property) secures the surety bond through our agency and is separate from the premium and application fee. Whether collateral is returned or released depends on the applicable bond terms, agreement requirements and outcome — it is not refunded automatically. Paying the premium alone does not cover the cash collateral.
Cash Collateral Through Amistad Bail Bonds
Cash equal to the full bond amount as collateral that secures the surety bond through our agency. We prepare the documents and submit the bond electronically through ICE eBonds.
Side-by-Side Comparison
| Premium | 2% | 15% | None |
|---|---|---|---|
| Application fee | $100 | $100 | None |
| Annual charges | No | No | No |
| Collateral / Payment Required | Full bond amount as cash collateral | Approved property collateral | Full bond amount paid to ICE |
| Who handles the process | Our team | Our team | You |
Property collateral is subject to approval. We do not decide whether a bond is available or set the amount.
What Happens After You Contact Us
Start with the information you have. We explain the requirements and available collateral options. After the application, signed agreement, payment and collateral are complete, we request ICE bond confirmation. Once confirmed, we submit the surety bond electronically through ICE eBonds. ICE must approve the bond payment before the detention facility can continue release processing. Neither bond eligibility nor release timing is guaranteed.

How Immigration Bonds Work in Georgia
Georgia criminal bail and a federal immigration bond are separate matters. Someone released on a Georgia criminal bond may still face ICE custody. Confirm the immigration bond separately; the detention facility, ICE field office and immigration court can be in different places.

A Georgia detention center, ICE field office and immigration court are different federal locations. For example, Stewart is in Lumpkin, while an immigration court in Atlanta may handle a different case. Use the official case notice to verify the correct court.

Can a Georgia Home Qualify as Collateral?
An eligible house with sufficient available equity may be considered to secure a Georgia immigration surety bond. We review the home's title, owners, mortgages, liens, required signatures and applicable legal requirements before offering approval.
We offer a no-cost review of qualifying homes. Georgia rules on signing and recording security deeds, along with our underwriting requirements, may affect eligibility. Owning a home does not guarantee approval.

How Amistad Bail Bonds Helps
Amistad Bail Bonds is a bail bond agency, not a law firm. We handle the bond paperwork and submit it electronically through ICE eBonds, but we do not provide legal advice or represent anyone in immigration court. Bond eligibility and the amount are set by DHS, ICE, or an immigration judge — not by our agency. Founded in 2009 and authorized by Allegheny Casualty Company to issue immigration bonds, we work directly with ICE eBonds and assist families in English and Spanish.
