How to Check Your Immigration Court Case Status

Find your A-Number

Your A-Number (Alien Registration Number) is a 9-digit number on your immigration court notice (Notice to Appear / Form I-862) and most USCIS correspondence — for example, 012345678.

Enter your A-Number and country of citizenship

Type your 9-digit A-Number and select your country of citizenship. EOIR matches BOTH, so the country must be the one on file with the court.

Read your case status

We query the official EOIR case-information system live and show your next hearing date, hearing type, immigration judge, court address, and case clock.

What Your Case Status Tells You

Next hearing date

The date and time of your upcoming court hearing. Missing it can result in an in-absentia removal order — always confirm with the court.

Master Calendar vs. Individual

A Master Calendar hearing is a short, preliminary status hearing. An Individual (merits) hearing is the longer hearing where the judge decides your case.

Hearing medium

How your hearing is held — in person at the court, by video (WebEx), or by telephone. The medium affects where and how you appear.

Immigration judge

The EOIR judge assigned to your case. Video hearings may include a WebEx link to join your hearing online.

Case clock (running / stopped)

The asylum "clock" tracks the days your case has been pending for work-permit eligibility. A stopped clock can delay your ability to get a work permit.

Case type

The type of proceeding — removal, deportation, exclusion, or asylum-only. It determines which forms of relief may be available to you.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

An A-Number (Alien Registration Number) is a 9-digit number the U.S. government assigns to noncitizens. You can find it on your Notice to Appear (Form I-862), immigration court hearing notices, your work permit (EAD card), and most USCIS letters. It usually appears as "A" followed by 9 digits.

Why do I have to enter my country of citizenship too?

The EOIR case-information system matches your A-Number AND your country of citizenship. If you select the wrong country, the system will report that no case was found even when your A-Number is correct. Use the country exactly as it is on file with the immigration court.

What does the "case clock" mean?

The case clock (or asylum clock) counts the days your case has been pending and is used to determine when an asylum applicant becomes eligible to apply for a work permit (generally after 180 days). A "running" clock is accumulating days; a "stopped" clock has paused — often because of a continuance you requested — which can delay work-permit eligibility.

What is the difference between a Master Calendar and an Individual hearing?

A Master Calendar hearing is a brief, preliminary hearing where the judge addresses scheduling, the charges, and what relief you are seeking. An Individual (or merits) hearing is the longer, substantive hearing where the judge hears evidence and testimony and decides your case.

Is this the same information as the EOIR 1-800 hotline?

Yes. This tool reads from the same official EOIR Automated Case Information system that powers the public ACIS portal (acis.eoir.justice.gov) and the EOIR hotline (1-800-898-7180). We simply present it in a cleaner, bilingual format. Always confirm critical dates directly with the court.

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

No. Your A-Number is used only to perform a single live lookup and is never logged or saved. We do not store your A-Number, your name, or any of the case details returned. This tool is informational only and is not affiliated with EOIR or the U.S. government.

My hearing date is wrong or missing — what should I do?

Government data can lag or contain errors, and a missing hearing date does not mean you have no hearing. Never rely solely on this tool for a court date. Confirm directly with the immigration court and speak with an attorney immediately — missing a hearing can lead to a removal order entered in your absence.

Have a court date coming up?

Florida immigration attorneys appear in immigration court every week. We can explain your hearing, your case clock, and exactly what to prepare before your next court date.
