Has a bond been set yet?
Do you know if a bond has been set yet? If you do not, we recommend contacting the detention facility where the alien is being detained. Contact information for all detention facilities can be found here https://www.cfiaus.com/ice-detention-facilities/
What is the full name of the alien in custody?
What is the detainee’s country of birth?
What is the detainee’s date of birth?
Does the detainee have an Alien Registration or “A” Number?
An “A” Number is a unique identification number assigned to a non-citizen. It is a 7,8 or 9 digit number beginning with the letter A. It can be found on a Green Card or Employment Authorization Document or Immigrant Visa. If you do not know if they have an “A” number, please visit the ICE website or contact the detention facility where the alien is located. An ICE Detainee Locator can be found here.
Where is the person in custody being detained?
You must know the detention facility where the alien is located. This could potentially be a different location than where the case is being heard. If you do not know the location visit www.locator.ice.gov and search by name or by A Number.
Once again, when you are able to get the answers to the above questions, and the alien is eligible to be released with an immigration bond, our experienced team of immigration bond specialists will be more than happy to assist you.
