1 Lawyer Answer

A: It depends on several other factors, you should really consider getting yourself an immigration attorney to get your husband out with a bond. We have helped several immigrants get an ICE bond and residency in the U.S. If you would like a free consultation feel free to contact my office (323-803-7147).

All the best.
