If someone is eligible for a bond hearing, any arrest or criminal conviction must be directly addressed in front of the judge. This will show that the detained person is not dangerous.
Some factors that can sway a judge’s decision include, but are not limited to:
- Letters of support
- Classes
- A letter from the detainee
The brief and oral argument from the immigration attorney
After the non-dangerous verdict comes the “flight risk” assessment. If someone is considered a flight risk, the judge will issue a bond amount of up to $1,500.00.
Factors for flight risk include:
- Any remedies for relief
- Ties to the community
- Past conduct
If the detainee is granted bond, the government still has the right to appeal the judge’s decision to the Board of Immigration Appeals.
Hiring a professional attorney with a strong team for this bond hearing can make all the difference. An attorney with a history of strong packet formulation is more likely to convince the judge that your loved one isn’t dangerous or a flight risk.
Interview all immigration attorneys, check reviews, compare payment plans, and determine which Arizona family-based law office is right for your individual needs.

The team at the Ybarra Maldonado Law Group understands how stressful it is for our community when family members are detained by ICE. Our Eloy and Florence detention center attorneys in Arizona can help.
Detainees can receive a bond or parole from a member of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) or an immigration judge. Immigrants who don’t receive a bond (or receive a bond that is too high) can ask the judge for a Custody Re-Determination Hearing or bond hearing. Our immigration bond hearing lawyers can help you file for a hearing and prepare evidence to support your case.
Our law firm has significant experience in these cases. Our experienced immigration lawyers have even argued and won a case in front of the Arizona Supreme Court on this issue. The State of Arizona appealed the decision, but the Supreme Court ruled in favor of our client and denied the request for a cert from Arizona. Speak with our Florence and Eloy detention center lawyers in Phoenix, AZ, to learn how we can help your family.

Individuals who lose their Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) status can apply for naturalization in several ways. One of the most common paths to residency is through marriage to a United States citizen. If you enter the United States legally, the immigration process occurs entirely in the United States. Generally, the government grants clients permanent residency in less than a year.
Alternatively, our team can file an I-601 Waiver application, a VAWA application with USCIS (for domestic violence victims), or a U-Visa application.
If you have lost your DACA status for various reasons or think you might be eligible for one of the forms of relief for your specific immigration matter, please contact us.

Yes, green card holders can be deported under certain conditions. Being convicted of certain crimes, violating immigration laws, or threatening national security can lead to deportation. Additionally, immigration authorities may deport an individual if they violate the terms of a visa, green card, or other status.
The current administration is targeting green card holders with past criminal records. More than ever, it is important to know what to do if you’re arrested by ICE in an immigration raid, on the street, at school, or at work. If you or a loved one has been arrested, contact one of our immigration lawyers in Arizona. We provide expert deportation defense.

Yes, a United States citizen can begin applying for their parents once they reach the age of 21 by applying for an I-130. Many families will attempt this route if all other attempts within the immigration system have failed.

Being a United States citizen doesn’t provide an automatic right for your spouse’s legal status for various reasons. However, if you want to help your husband or wife’s immigration case, you can petition for your spouse’s citizenship status through the immigration process instead.
This can occur through marriage-based green card applications or fiancée visas in most cases. Speak with our team of Phoenix marriage immigration attorneys for more information. -
You must be at least 18 years old when you apply for U.S. citizenship. Generally, you must be able to read, write, and speak basic English. Applicants must also be of good moral character. You must show loyalty to the U.S. Constitution. You must complete the naturalization test and interview, which will test your knowledge of U.S. history and government. Finally, you must take an Oath of Allegiance to the United States.
You can also apply for citizenship through naturalization if you are:
A lawful legal resident of the United States for 5 years
The spouse of a United States citizen who has been a lawful permanent resident for 3 years
A U.S. military service member, including an active duty member or veteran
The child of U.S. citizens
