Hello,
My boyfriend is currently being detained by ICE for overstaying his F1 visa for less than 1 year. He was pulled over for a broken taillight but ended up getting charged for DUI and driving on a suspended license. He has a hearing for these two cases on a separate court date.
We have filed a bond petition for him to get him out of the detention center. He wants to file for voluntary departure. What are the chances of him getting out on bond if he wants to leave the country voluntarily and if his relatives can vouch to support him and ensure that he leaves the country within the allocated time?
Can a bond hearing and a voluntary departure hearing be held at the same time? What can we do to get him out on bond? I have acquired letters from his professors and family stating that he is a good student and is of good moral character.
Any suggestions/ advice/ experience is much appreciated.
Thanks!
