A financial sponsor, including a petitioner, must be at least 18 years old and either a U.S. citizen or a lawful permanent resident (LPR).
US citizen grandparents, aunts, uncles, in-laws, and cousins cannot sponsor a relative for immigration. There is an annual quota for visas in the following categories. See for visa waiting periods.
Sponsors must generally be U.S. citizens or lawful permanent residents who meet income and financial requirements. They are legally obligated to provide support until the immigrant becomes a U.S. citizen, has worked for a certain period of time, or meets other conditions.
HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE TO GET MY BOND HEARING? From the time the bond application is filed, it will typically take 1-3 weeks for the bond hearing to be set. The immigration judge will decide whether to grant a bond at the bond hearing, and if granted, how much the bond will be.
While you can't directly sponsor a non-relative friend, you still have the option to offer financial support and protection for an immigrant entering the US. Here's what you need to do to become a joint financial sponsor for a friend.
All sponsors must be U.S. citizens or permanent residents, be at least 18 years old, and be living in the United States (including territories and possessions) when they file the affidavit of support.
(c) Requesting a Bond Hearing — A request for a bond hearing may be made in writing. In addition, except as provided in subsection (3), below, a request for a bond hearing may be made orally in court or, at the discretion of the immigration judge, by telephone.
Requirements for Immigration Bond Immigration Status: Detainees with pending applications for relief are more likely to be eligible for bond. 2. Criminal History: Those with serious criminal convictions, particularly related to violent crimes or drug trafficking, may be ineligible for bond.
An immigration bond is a guaranty by the person who posts the bond (the obligor) that the noncitizen will fulfill the noncitizen's obligations to the government.
The bond is what immigration asks for as a guarantee that you will attend all of your hearings. You are promising that, if they release you from detention, you will go to all your court hearings and do what the judge orders you to do—even if that includes being deported.
