Paying for a U.S. Immigration Bond

Finding out that a family member or friend is being detained in jail due to an immigration hold can be a stressful and worrisome situation. US Immigration Bonds wants you to realize that it is important for you to know what needs to be done so that your friend or family can be released from immigration detention. US Immigration Bonds’ immigration experts want to help you understand the process of paying for an immigration bond once it has been granted.

Once an immigration bond is granted, the individual that filed for the immigration bond will need to schedule an appointment with their local immigration bond payment office. You will need to call the immigration office beforehand to schedule an appointment to pay the immigration bond.

Immigration bonds cannot be paid in cash or personal check. The best option for paying an immigration bond is to use a cashier’s check made out to the “Department of Homeland Security”. Another option if you do not have all of the money to pay for the immigration bond outright is to go through a US immigration bail bondsman to pay the bond.

When you go to your appointment to pay the immigration bond, make sure you bring your original social security card and a valid photo identification. The immigration bond payment process should take about an hour. Once the bond is paid, the deportation officer will send notice to the immigration detention center authorizing release. Go directly to the jail to pick up your friend or family member.

Make sure they attend all of the court hearings and comply with the order of the judge, so that the bond will be returned at the end of the immigration proceedings.
