A Motion must be filed with the Immigration Judge together with any petition, application and evidence of a legitimate defense to removability or inadmissability. A properly prepared Motion together with the correct Petition/Application and all evidence attached is very important.    

The Mulder Law Office has represented clients throughout the United States. We can have your case prepared and filed with the Court on an emergency basis to insure that you are bonded out of immigration custody at the earliest available moment.

 
An immigration Judge may require you to post a bond when granted voluntary departure. This is to assure the court that you depart the United States as scheduled. Our client’s have always been granted voluntary departure without having to post a bond however  it is a possibility.
