To find out when and where your next hearing will take place and what type of hearing it is, you can check the immigration court system. It is recommended to check weekly. You can do this by phone or online.
1. ICE website
https://portal.ice.gov/eoir
You will need:
- A-number
- First name
- Last name
- Country of birth
This website provides detailed case information, including the court date, court address, and, if applicable, a link to join an online hearing.
2. EOIR website
Enter your A-number at:
https://acis.eoir.justice.gov/en/
If you are in the court system, you will see:
- your A-number
- the date your case was docketed
- the court address
If a hearing date has been scheduled, it will appear along with the judge’s name.
If you are not in the system, you will see: No case found for this A-Number.
Note: In fall 2022, it was reported that the immigration court website did not always display hearing information for some individuals who already had hearings scheduled. If no date appears online, it is recommended to also check by phone.
3. By phone
+1 800 898 7180

4. Contacting the court directly
You may also call your specific immigration court from this official list and ask the court clerk about your case.
5. Form I-862
Your initial hearing date is listed on your Form I-862 Notice to Appear. If the court date changes, an updated notice will be mailed to your address.
If there is a discrepancy between documents and online systems, official documents take priority. However, in practice, online systems are often updated before the mailed notice arrives.
