Bond Hearings
Securing Release for Detained Immigrants
Immigration services have the authority to detain immigrants for a variety of reasons while their case moves through the system.
At Ali & Associates, we understand that having a loved one detained is one of the most frightening experiences a family can face. Our attorneys provide compassionate, aggressive legal representation before the Immigration Court, helping detained individuals request and win bond hearings.
If detained, the immigrant has the right to request a bond hearing to determine whether bond should be granted, allowing the immigrant to pay money and leave the facility while the case proceeds. When the immigrant returns to Immigration Court as required, the bond money is refunded. If you or a loved one has been detained, call Ali & Associates and we will assist you in requesting a bond hearing and represent you in front of the judge.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a bond hearing?
A bond hearing is a hearing before an Immigration Judge to determine whether a detained immigrant may be released from custody by paying a bond while their case is pending.
Who is eligible for a bond hearing?
Most detained immigrants who are not subject to mandatory detention may request a bond hearing, though eligibility depends on factors such as criminal history and immigration status.
How is the bond amount determined?
The Immigration Judge considers factors such as flight risk, danger to the community, family and community ties, and immigration history when setting the bond amount.
Will the bond money be returned?
Yes. If the immigrant attends all required Immigration Court hearings, the bond amount is refunded once the case concludes.
What happens during my Immigration Court hearing?
An Immigration Judge will hear testimony and review evidence regarding flight risk, danger to the community, and eligibility before deciding whether to grant bond and in what amount.
How can an immigration attorney help?
An experienced attorney can evaluate your eligibility, gather supporting evidence, prepare you and your family for the hearing, and represent you in front of the Immigration Judge to help secure the lowest possible bond.
