A detainee's release happens after an immigration bond is posted. Release after posting an immigration bond may take several days, depending on administrative processing times. You must ensure the detainee attends all court hearings. Missing court appearances could lead to forfeiting the bond.
Once the proceedings have concluded, ICE will send a notice of immigration bond cancellation to the obligor if the foreign national has met the conditions of the bond. It also will send this notice, known as Form I-391, to the Debt Management Center at the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
For any inquiries regarding immigration bond refunds, it is best to contact the Financial Operations of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Debt Management Center. You can reach them directly at (802) 288-7600.
When the Debt Management Center receives your forms, it will process your bond refund. You should then receive a refund of the original bond amount along with any interest that accrued during the months or years that proceedings took place during. The refund process usually takes a couple of months.
