The immigration bonds are not often talked about when it comes to bail bonds. When you aren’t an immigrant, then you won’t need this kind of specialized bond nor you will need a bail bond agency which actually specializes in the immigration. When you are actually a natural citizen, then there is actually no need for these services of the Immigration and Naturalization Service or such INS to help bail you from such situation.
Those immigration bonds are certainly issued by the Department of Immigration and Naturalization Service to such bail bond agents who are licensed to bond those immigrants to the United States. This is just any kind of old license. This is given by the INS for the bail agency that knows those inner workings as well as risks associated with the immigrants. There have been studies which have shown that the immigrants from particular countries are actually more likely to run and also force the bail enforcement agent to try tracking them down.
There are two ways that the bond would be posted. The first is the cash bond in which the immigrants are going to put up the entire amount of money. There is also through the bail agency in which they are the ones who will guarantee the bond and this would require some percentage of the bond to be considered a fee.
When there is a higher risk of running, then the bigger is the bond will be and also the percentage and this is not refundable too. So long as the immigrant appears to the court on the designated day, then problems can actually be avoided.
However, there is one thing which needs attention when you are dealing with the INS. Just because of the reason that the immigrant has been arrested doesn’t actually mean that they will then be deported back to the home country. This actually depends on the degree of the crime and if one is really in the US legally.
There is a greater chance that if they have been in the country illegally, they could get deported. Just similar with the citizens in the US, immigrants are also considered innocent until proven guilty of the crime.
Since the immigration bonds are a specialized form of bond, then it would take a person who is quite familiar with the laws of such Immigration and Naturalization Service to write a bond. Also, the INS may also help them point to the attorneys and agencies who know these laws quite well and to help them get out of trouble from such issues too.
