I, Lupita Shestko-Montiel, a Certified Legal Document Preparer and Bail Agent, I am not an attorney, offer the following information based on my experience of several years in the legal area in view of the recent events happening in Arizona:
1. WITHOUT REGARD OF THE TIME THAT A PERSON MAY HAVE BEEN RESIDING IN THE UNITED STATES:
WHEN STOPPED BY POLICE OR THE IMMIGRATION OFFICERS AND AT THE END ONE IS TAKEN BEFORE AN IMMIGRATION OFFICER, THE PERSON HAS THE RIGHT TO REQUEST A HEARING WITH AN IMMIGRATION JUDGE, NOT WITH AN ATTORNEY, NOR WITH SOMEONE ELSE, BUT WITH AN IMMIGRATION JUDGE. IT IS SUGGESTED TO OBSERVE COURTESY AND TO BE CALM AT ALL TIMES.
AGAIN, ACCORDING TO MY EXPERIENCE, DO NOT SIGN ANY DOCUMENTS THAT COULD BE CONSTRUED AS A VOLUNTARY DEPARTURE. A VOLUNTARY DEPARTURE HAS THE SAME EFFECT OF AN EXCLUSION AS SIGNED AND RULED BY A JUDGE.
2. THE PERSON MUST HAVE MORE THAN 10 YEARS OF CONTINUOUS PRESENCE IN THE UNITED STATES, MUST HAVE A CLEAN REORD, NO FELONIES, TO FIGHT AND WIN THE CASE, AND MUST HAVE HARDSHIP, SOMETHING SERIOUS AT HOME, AND THIS MUST NOT BE AN ECONOMIC HARDSHIP. EVEN IF A PERSON HAS MORE THAN TEN YEARS OF RESIDENCY IN THE UNITED STATES, IT IS NOT SUGGESTED TO SURRENDER TO ANY IMMIGRATION OFFICER.
2. NOW, IF THE PERSON IS SUCCESSFUL AND IS ALLOWED TO REMAIN IN THE UNITED STATES, THE PERSON WILL BE TAKEN TO AN IMMIGRATION DETENTION CENTER FOR EXCLUSION AND REMOVAL PROCESS, THIS PLACE COULD BE AT ELOY, FLORENCE, LAS VEGAS OR LOS ANGELES, BUT IT IS NOT THE PRISON.
3. WHILE IN THE DETENTION CENTER, THE PERSON HAS THE RIGHT TO ASK FOR IMMIGRATION BAIL IN ORDER TO LEAVE THE DETENTION CENTER AND FIGHT THE CASE IN COURT. BONDS ARE SET IN DIFFERENT AMOUNTS FROM TWO UP TO TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS, DEPENDING ON THE SERIOUSNESS OF THE INITIAL DETENTION. THE PERSON ONLY NEEDS TO PAY 12% PREMIUM PLUS COLLATERAL. SOMETIMES THEY ARE RELEASED ON THEIR OWN RECOGNIZANCE.
REMEMBER, LUPITA IS A BAIL AGENT AND ASSIST YOU WITH THIS PROCESS.
4. IT TAKES AN AVERAGE OF TWO TO THREE WEEKS BEFORE A PERSONS IS ELEASED FROM THE DETENTION CENTER. SOMETIMES THE PERSON CAN FIGHT THE CASE BY HIM/HERSELF OR, IF NOT, THE ASSISTANCE OF AN IMMIGRATION ATTORNEY SHOULD BE CONSIDERED.
5. IN THE AREA OF FLORENCE, ARIZONA THERE IS AN ASSOCIATION CALLED THE FLORENCE PROJECT, WHICH IS A GROUP OF IMMIGRATION LAWYERS THAT MAY REPRESENT THE PERSON BEFORE THE IMMIGRATION COURT. THEIR FEES VARIES; SOMETIME THEY REPRESENT ON A PRO-BONO BASIS –FREE OF CHARGE.

AGAIN, AND OF COURSE, THE PERSON MAY HIRE AN ATTORNEY OF HIS/HER CHOICE..
6 NOW FOR PERSONS WHO ARE ALSO PARENTS WITH MINOR CHILDREN, IT IS SUGGESTED A GUARDIANSHIP FOR THEIR MINOR CHILDREN, WHICH MEANS NAMING A LEGAL RESIDENT OR CITIZEN RELATIVE AS THE GUARDIAN, TO AVOID FUTURE LEGAL PROBLEMS AND A JUDGE DECIDES WHERE AND WITH WHOM THE CHILDREN ARE GOING TO LIVE WITH. AND TO BE LEGAL, THIS MUST BE PROCESSED TROUGH THE COURT. THE GUARDIANSHIP LAST UP TO ADULTHOOD.
LUPITA CHARGES $ 350.00 FOR THIS PROCESS, AND WILL INCLUDE ALL THEIR MINOR CHILDREN, AND THE COURT FEES ARE $ 210. APPROXIMATELY.
7. FOR THE GUARDIANSHIP, BOTH PARENTS MUST SIGN, AND ONE PARENT IS NOT AVAILABLE, I COULD EXPLAIN ANOTHER OTHER PROCESSES FOR A NEW DECISION.
8. ALSO, IT IS SUGGESTED FOR THE PERSON TO REGISTER WITH THE CONSULATE OF HIS/HER COUNTRY OF ORIGIN. CONSULATES PROVIDE SERVICES IN DETENTION FACILITIES; THEY CAN COMMUNICATE WITH RELATIVES , ETC. OBTAIN FURTHER INFORMATION DIRECTLY FROM THE CONSULATE. THEIR FEES VARIES ACCORDING TO THE CONSULATE. THIS CAN BE $30 MORE OR LESS.
