Frequently Asked Questions

Where is the 26 Federal Plaza immigration court?

26 Federal Plaza is a federal building in Lower Manhattan. The New York Immigration Court (EOIR) is located on the 12th and 14th floors. USCIS field offices are in the same building.

What should I bring to my hearing?

Photo ID, the Notice to Appear, any prior court paperwork, all evidence in your case, and your attorney. Arrive 30 minutes early to clear security.

What’s the difference between a master and individual hearing?

Master calendar hearings are brief — you tell the judge whether you’ll fight your case and on what grounds. Individual hearings are the actual merits trial where you testify and present evidence.

Can I check my hearing date online?

Yes — call the EOIR automated system at 1-800-898-7180 with your A-number, or check online. We verify dates for every client.

What if I miss my hearing?

You’ll likely get an in-absentia removal order. Call us immediately — we may be able to file a motion to reopen if you missed it for an exceptional reason.

How long do cases take at 26 Federal Plaza?

Currently 2–5+ years between master calendar and individual hearings due to the backlog. We use the time to build the strongest possible case.
