EOIR TrackerHow to check your immigration court case and hearing date
The immigration court (EOIR) gives you two free ways to check your case: a website and a phone line. Both ask for your A-Number.
Online: EOIR's case website
Go to acis.eoir.justice.gov. Type your A-Number and choose your nationality: the country shown on your immigration papers.
If the court has a case for that number, you'll see basic information:
- your next hearing: the date, time and place;
- the judge's decision, if there is one;
- whether there is an appeal.
It doesn't show everything. Bond hearings and motions are not listed. And if there has been more than one case for your A-Number, you'll only see the most recent one.
By phone: 1-800-898-7180
Call 1-800-898-7180 for free. The line is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, in English and Spanish. It is an automated system.
Enter the 9 digits of your A-Number, without the letter A. If your number has 8 digits, enter a 0 first.
It gives you the same basic information: your next hearing, the judge's decision, and whether there is an appeal. If you are deaf or hard of hearing, use the TDD line: 1-800-828-1120.
EOIR explains both on its case status page.
What does it mean if no case is found?
Usually it is one of these:
- There is a mistake in the A-Number. Check each digit.
- The nationality doesn't match the court's record.
- There is no court case yet. A case starts when the government files the Notice to Appear with the court, and that can happen a while after you were given the notice.
- It is a kind of case the website doesn't show.
No result doesn't always mean you have no case. If you received papers telling you to go to court, or you're not sure, talk to an immigration lawyer or an accredited representative.
Why check again?
What you see today can change:
- The court can move a hearing to a new date or time, or add a new one.
- A case can be opened for your A-Number at any time, even if nothing shows today.
- The court mails its letters to the address it has for you. If you moved, they may not reach you. Read more about this.
EOIR's website shows a new date only once the court has set it. Court papers, such as a hearing notice, are the official record.
Let the app check for you
Checking by hand every week is work, and it's easy to forget. EOIR Tracker checks EOIR's public website for you throughout the week and sends you a notification when something changes in your case, or if a case appears for your A-Number.
We are not the government and not lawyers. To confirm a date, call EOIR at 1-800-898-7180.
