Immigration Bonds are often necessary for individuals in Miami who have a pending court hearing, have been charged with a crime within the United States, or have had their visa application denied. The cost of Immigration bonds in Miami can range from $1,500 to $25,000 and can be posted by a bail bondsman on behalf of the individual. In some cases, USCIS may require a higher bond amount if they believe there is a risk that the individual will not appear for their court hearings.
In Miami-Dade County, there are two ways to post an immigration bond: Surety or Cash. The cash option requires the entire bond amount to be paid upfront and is typically only used for individuals with criminal convictions on their record or those considered high flight risks. Generally speaking, surety bonds are usually preferred as they allow the individual to pay only 10% to 15% of the total bond amount upfront. At the same time, a bail bondsman covers the remainder of the cost.
Miami is a coastal city, and it is particularly prone to seeing immigrants attempting to enter the country illegally by sea. This has led many of its citizens to be more understanding towards those seeking refuge or asylum within its borders. However, ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) ensures that all immigrants follow U.S. law and appear for court hearings when required.
