My Case — Immigration Court Status Lookup

Enter your A-Number and country of citizenship to see your next immigration court hearing date, hearing type, immigration judge, court address and case clock — explained in plain language. No login and no sign-up.

Source: the official EOIR (Executive Office for Immigration Review) Automated Case Information service. Your result is read live from EOIR at the moment you search — nothing on this page is cached or stored.

Look up your court case

7 to 9 digits. Found on your immigration court notice — for example 012345678. Older A-Numbers have only 7 or 8 digits; enter it exactly as printed, without the letter A.

Loading the EOIR verification step…

Your A-Number is used for one live lookup and is never logged, stored or shared. Country list captured from the official EOIR portal on 2026-07-28. If EOIR adds a country we have not picked up yet, use the official portal.

Is this the right tool for you?

There are two completely separate government systems, and people routinely check the wrong one. They do not share data.

This page — immigration COURT

Use this if you are in proceedings before an immigration judge: you received a Notice to Appear (Form I-862), you have hearing dates, or you are in removal, deportation, exclusion or asylum-only proceedings. The system behind it is EOIR, part of the Department of Justice.

Identifier: your A-Number (7-9 digits)

The other tool — USCIS applications

Use that if you filed an application or petition with USCIS — a family petition, green card, work permit, citizenship application — and want to know where that filing stands. USCIS is part of the Department of Homeland Security and has nothing to do with your court calendar.

Identifier: your 13-character receipt number, e.g. IOE0912345678

Go to the USCIS receipt-number tool

Many people have both at once: a pending USCIS filing and an open court case. Checking one tells you nothing about the other.

How to check your case

  1. Find your A-Number

    Your A-Number (Alien Registration Number) appears on your Notice to Appear (Form I-862), on immigration court hearing notices, on a work permit (EAD) card, and on most USCIS letters. It is printed after the letter A. Enter only the digits.

  2. Select your country of citizenship

    EOIR matches the A-Number AND the country of citizenship. If the country does not match what the court has on file, EOIR reports no case even when the A-Number is correct.

  3. Complete the EOIR verification step

    EOIR requires a verification challenge before it will answer. It loads from EOIR's own provider inside this page — you are not creating an account with anyone.

  4. Read your result, then confirm it

    You will see the next hearing date and time, the hearing type and medium, the judge, the court address and phone, the case clock and the type of proceeding. Confirm anything you will act on with the court directly.

What the result means

Next hearing date

The date and time EOIR currently has for your next hearing. Missing a hearing can lead to a removal order entered in your absence, so never rely on a single source for a court date.

Master Calendar vs. Individual

A Master Calendar hearing is a short, preliminary hearing about scheduling, the charges and what relief you are seeking. An Individual (merits) hearing is the longer hearing where the judge takes evidence and decides the case.

How the hearing is held

In person at the court, by video, or by telephone. The medium changes where and how you have to appear, so read it together with the court address.

Immigration judge

The EOIR judge assigned to your case. For a video hearing, EOIR sometimes also returns a WebEx link for joining. EOIR omits the judge on cases that are not yet scheduled.

Case clock (running or stopped)

The asylum clock counts the days an asylum application has been pending, which is what work-permit eligibility is generally measured against (180 days). A stopped clock has paused — often after a continuance the respondent requested — and can delay work-permit eligibility.

Type of proceeding

Removal, deportation, exclusion or asylum-only. Which one you are in affects what forms of relief may be available, which is a question for a lawyer rather than for this page.

Questions people ask

What is an A-Number and where do I find it?

An A-Number (Alien Registration Number) is the number the U.S. government assigns to a noncitizen. It appears on your Notice to Appear (Form I-862), on immigration court hearing notices, on a work permit (EAD) card, and on most USCIS correspondence, printed after the letter A. Newer A-Numbers have 9 digits; ones issued years ago may have 7 or 8. This tool accepts 7 to 9 digits.

Why do I have to enter my country of citizenship?

Because EOIR matches both values. If you select a different country from the one the court has on file, EOIR answers that no case was found even though your A-Number is correct. The country list on this page uses EOIR’s own country codes, which are not the standard two-letter country codes used elsewhere.

Is this the same information as the EOIR hotline?

Yes. This page reads the same official EOIR Automated Case Information service that answers the public EOIR portal and the EOIR hotline at 1-800-898-7180. We only present the answer in plainer, bilingual form. If the two ever disagree, EOIR is authoritative and we are not.

Do you store my A-Number or my case details?

No. Your A-Number is used for one live lookup and nothing more. It is not written to any log, database, analytics event or error report, and it is masked from session recording. Nothing about your case is saved after the page closes. This is also why we cannot look your case up again for you later.

My hearing date looks wrong, or nothing came back at all.

Government data can lag or contain errors, and a missing hearing date does not mean you have no hearing. Do not treat a blank result as good news. Confirm directly with the immigration court, and speak with a lawyer promptly — missing a hearing can result in a removal order entered in your absence.

Is this an official government site?

No. Imigrar is a private immigration law practice in Orlando, Florida. This tool is not affiliated with EOIR, the Department of Justice or any government agency. It reads a public government service and shows you the answer.
