There are requirements necessary to obtain a visa. It’s important to understand these requirements and prepare yourself appropriately so that you can be issued a visa. Visas are typically tailored to suit your individual need, so it is important to have the following checklist of items to make the process as smooth as possible:

• Character References
  
• High School Diploma or College Degree
  
• Immunization Records
  
• Birth Certificate
  
• Ability To Pass A Background Check
  
• Ability To Pass A Physical Exam
  
• Proof Of Ability to Work
  
• School Records
  
• Passport Photographs
  

The Immigration Court determines your bond amount. During your bond hearing, the court will consider the following factors to determine your bond amount:

• Employment Status
  
• Your Ties To The Community & Family 
  
• Property Ownership 
  
• Current Immigration Status
  
• Criminal Record (If You Have One)
  
• Deportation History
  

The Immigration Court is trying to determine if you are at risk of not attending your court proceedings in the future as the case progresses. They will want to hear evidence regarding your character. If your bond is granted by the court, then you will have to pay the court the amount they determined.
