What to do if you receive an immigration court notice

If you have a case before the immigration court, you may receive a Notice to Appear or a hearing notice from the Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR). These notices include your hearing date, time, and location, and missing a hearing can have serious consequences for your case.

It is important to keep your mailing address updated with the immigration court using Form EOIR-33, since notices are generally sent by mail. You can also check your case status using the official EOIR case status system with your alien registration number.

If you are unsure what a notice means for your situation, DocPrep can help organize your filing materials, but for legal advice about your specific case, we recommend consulting a licensed immigration attorney or an accredited representative.
