CASE: Bond Hearing
APPLICANTS: Chinese
LOCATION: Florence, AZ
Our firm was contacted in early April regarding two Chinese individuals detained in Florence, Arizona. They tried to enter the United States without valid documents and were incarcerated thereafter by immigration officers. They were then given credible fear interviews which they eventually passed.
Upon our retention, we immediately filed bond hearings for our two clients. Despite them being in jail in Florence, we communicated with them and tried to gather as much information regarding their relief, equities, criminal record, family, and financial ability to post bond. We contacted our clients’ several relatives and friends in New York and Alabama. We also gathered supporting documents from those relatives, from proofs of their status, residences, to bank statements and tax returns. We also obtained notarized affidavits from them.
On April 26 and 27, 2011, we represented our clients for the Florence Arizona Immigration Court bond hearings. We argued that our client was eligible for asylum relief, passed credible fear interviews, were not flight risks, had established their residence upon release, had established their financial ability to post bond, and that they had ample family ties in the United States who submitted proofs of their residence and copies of their immigration status. The Judge took our arguments into consideration and a bond was granted thereafter. Our clients’ relatives have thereafter posted bond and they are now out of detention to pursue their asylum claims.
