The two most common types of immigration bonds that are available to INS detainees are:

• Delivery Bond
  An alien that is arrested by the Bureau of Immigration and Customs Enforcement and issued a Warrant of Arrest (Form I-205) and a Notice of Custody Conditions (Form I-286) may be eligible for a delivery bond. The amount of a delivery bond should be sufficient to ensure that the alien will appear for any future immigration proceedings.
• Voluntary Departure Bond
  An alien who is allowed to depart the country voluntarily after being placed in removal proceedings (or in lieu of such proceedings) has been granted Voluntary Departure. The Immigration Judge may, and, in some cases, must, require that someone post a bond in an amount that will ensure that the alien departs the United States within the time specified.

On your first visit to an Immigration Bail Bond Agency be sure to bring the following information about the alien:

• Alien Name
• Alien Registration Number
• Name of the facility where the alien is being held
• Alien's home address
• Alien's date of birth
• Alien's country of birth
• Bond Amount
• Name of the person posting the bond
• Valid address for the person posting the bond
• Valid Social Security Number for the person posting the bond
• Valid phone number for the person posting the bond
• Acceptable form of identification
  • Permanent Resident Card
  • Passport with appropriate stamps
  • Valid driver's license
  • State identification with proof of immigration status
