How to check your status in the Immigration Court?

If you have a pending case, you can keep up to date and check your status with the Immigration Court (EOIR) in several ways, through their automated telephone information system or through their case inquiry website.

Not only is consulting your status a simple process, but it is essential to understanding where you stand in your immigration process. At Garcia Immigration Group we help you understand how to navigate the resources offered by the Immigration Court so that you can efficiently and effectively follow up on your case.

Check your EOIR status by phone

To check your case by phone, the Immigration Court (EOIR) has an EOIR Automated Case Information System that can be reached by phone at 1-800-898-7180. This free system is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and is accessible from anywhere in the United States.

You are required to have your A-number, a unique 8- or 9-digit tracking number assigned to you when an immigration case is initiated, and to follow the instructions of the automated telephone system.

Steps to follow with EOIR's automated care system

STEP 1

Dial the appropriate EOIR automated answering service number and wait for the welcome message, “You have reached the EOIR case information system.”

STEP 2

Press 1 to continue in English, or 2 to continue in Spanish, and enter your A-number when prompted. Note that you will only need to enter the numbers, i.e., without the A letter.

STEP 3

In case your A number is entered in the system, you can confirm that the number you have entered is correct by pressing 1, or 2 to re-enter. In case you receive the following message “The information you entered for the A number did not match a record in the system”, it is likely that your number has not yet been entered into the system or that you do not yet have a scheduled Immigration Court date. In this case, you should call the Immigration Court for more information.

STEP 4

Once your A-number is confirmed, the system will need to verify your name. Again, press 1 to confirm, or 2 to re-enter.

STEP 5

Choose one of the 5 options the system gives you to get detailed information about your case.

For information about your next hearing, press 1. It will provide you with information about a scheduled hearing. This includes additional information about the type of hearing, date and time, the judge assigned to the case, the address.
For information on the processing of your case, press 2. If you have applied for asylum, you will be provided with information on the date your case was received by the Immigration Court.
For information on decisions related to your case, press 3. Gives you information about the pending status of your case, or the resolution of your case.
For filing information, press 5. Information about the address and telephone number of the court that will be in charge of your hearing.

Remember that to inquire about another family member’s case, you will need to call the Immigration Court’s automated service again and follow the instructions again.

Check your EOIR status online
