Check your hearing date at the New York 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 New York Immigration Court at (212) 602-6500.
- 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 New York Immigration Court
Public sources.
The court is on the 12th floor (Room 1237) of 26 Federal Plaza, in Lower Manhattan's Civic Center beside Foley Square. Per EOIR, visitors enter from Broadway at the center of the building, between Duane Street and Worth Street.
The Civic Center is served by the Chambers Street and Brooklyn Bridge–City Hall subway stations and the Canal Street stations a short walk away. The building has its own ZIP code (10278) and stands among the downtown federal and state courthouses.
26 Federal Plaza is the Jacob K. Javits Federal Building — at 41 stories and 587 feet, the tallest federal building in the United States. Designed by Alfred Easton Poor with Kahn & Jacobs, it opened in 1969 and also houses USCIS and other federal agencies.
Named for the longtime New York senator Jacob K. Javits, the building anchors the federal presence in Lower Manhattan. The court sits within the Second Circuit.
