How long does the court process take?

24 October 2023

(Updated:22 January 2026)

From several months to several years.

The length of an immigration court case can vary significantly. If you are applying for asylum, your case may sometimes take several years to be resolved. In other situations, it may take less than a year. Even within the same state and the same court, people who entered the system at the same time may receive hearing dates that differ by several years. There is no clear pattern or guaranteed way to know where hearings are scheduled the fastest.

It is important to remember that you cannot be removed while your case is pending. However, if you miss a court hearing, you will most likely receive a removal order. For this reason, it is essential to regularly check your case status, keep your address updated, and attend all scheduled hearings.
