2nd Circuit

New York Immigration Courts

New York has five open EOIR court locations, all in the Second Circuit. New York City has three: 26 Federal Plaza, which hears non-detained cases; 290 Broadway, in the Ted Weiss Federal Building; and 201 Varick Street, which hears the detained docket because the building houses an ICE detention and processing component. Upstate are Buffalo, the detained Ulster court inside the Ulster Correctional Facility, and Batavia, at the Buffalo Federal Detention Facility, which EOIR closed on July 24, 2026, moving its pending cases to Buffalo.

Detained cases in New York

A detained person can ask for a bond hearing where the law allows it.

Which court is my case in?

Your Notice to Appear or latest hearing notice names it; look it up with your A-number in EOIR's case information system (opens in new tab). A judge may move a case to another court for good cause (8 C.F.R. § 1003.20 (opens in new tab)). Step by step: how to check your immigration court date.

Appeals: the 2nd Circuit

After a final BIA order, a petition for review from New York courts goes to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 2nd Circuit within 30 days (8 U.S.C. § 1252(b)(1)–(2) (opens in new tab)). The BIA follows 2nd Circuit precedent in cases from New York (Matter of Anselmo, 20 I&N Dec. 25 (BIA 1989) (opens in new tab)).
