Form I-286, Notice of Custody Determination

Form I-286 is a document issued by DHS to inform a detained foreign national of the decision regarding their custody status. The notice indicates whether the individual will be released on bond, released on their own recognizance, or detained pending the outcome of their removal proceedings. If bond is set, the notice will specify the amount and conditions of the bond. Form I-286 also advises the individual of their right to request a bond redetermination hearing before an immigration judge to challenge the custody decision or the amount of bond set by DHS.
