Alien (Immigration) Bond

An Alien (Immigration) Bond is a financial guarantee required by U.S. immigration authorities to ensure that an immigrant fulfills their immigration obligations, such as appearing for court hearings or leaving the country when their visa expires. This bond is typically set by the immigration court and can range from a few thousand to tens of thousands of dollars. If the immigrant complies with all conditions, the bond is refunded after a certain period. However, if the conditions are not met, the government can use the bond funds to cover costs associated with the immigrant's removal from the country.
