A:
Becoming a guarantor for your friend in a detention center involves taking on certain responsibilities. You may need to provide financial support or ensure they comply with specific conditions set by immigration authorities. It's important to understand the extent of these obligations before agreeing.
Consider the potential risks involved. If your friend fails to meet the requirements, you might be held accountable, which could affect your finances or legal standing. Make sure you are comfortable with the level of commitment required and that you can fulfill these responsibilities if needed.
Before making a decision, it might be helpful to consult with an immigration attorney or seek advice from someone experienced in immigration matters. This can give you a clearer picture of what being a guarantor entails and help you make an informed choice that ensures your safety and peace of mind.
