Check your hearing date at the Miami Immigration Court
EOIR’s free Automated Case Information portal shows the date, time and court of your next hearing: enter your A-number (the 8 or 9 digits after the “A” on your Notice to Appear or hearing notice; put a 0 in front of an 8-digit number) and choose your nationality. The same information is on EOIR’s line, 1-800-898-7180, 24 hours a day, in English and Spanish.
- What the result means: a master hearing is a short calendar hearing; an individual hearing is the merits hearing. “No case found for this A-Number” can mean the Notice to Appear has not been filed with the court yet. Your written hearing notice is the official source — if the two differ, call the Miami Immigration Court at (305) 789-4221.
- Moved? File Form EOIR-33/IC with the court that has your case within five days (8 C.F.R. § 1003.15(d)(2)). A USCIS change of address does not update the court.
- Missed a hearing? An order of removal entered in your absence can sometimes be reopened — see our guide to in absentia orders.

About the Miami Immigration Court
Public sources.
The court is in Suite 700 of One Riverview Square, at 333 South Miami Avenue, on the north bank of the Miami River near the corner of South Miami Avenue and SW 3rd Street — at the edge of downtown Miami and the Brickell district.
The Riverwalk Metromover station sits directly beside the building on the free downtown people-mover loop, which connects to Metrorail elsewhere in the system. Paid parking is available throughout the surrounding downtown blocks.
One Riverview Square is a downtown Miami office tower on the Miami River; the Immigration Court occupies Suite 700.
Miami is the largest city in South Florida and a principal U.S. immigration gateway. This non-detained EOIR court is separate from the detained Krome court west of the city, and sits within the Eleventh Circuit.
