Check your hearing date at the Sterling 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 Sterling Immigration Court at (703) 674-4600.
- 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 Sterling Immigration Court
Public sources.
The court is at 21400 Ridgetop Circle in Sterling, Loudoun County, Virginia — in an office park off the Route 28 / Waxpool Road area near Dulles International Airport.
The location is car-oriented with parking nearby; Loudoun County Transit serves the area, and the Metrorail Silver Line (Ashburn and Dulles stations) is in the broader vicinity but not within walking distance.
The address is an office-park building with standard security screening; the Immigration Court occupies its suite there.
This newer court opened in October 2022 as part of EOIR's expansion replacing the closed Arlington court, staffed with a sizable bench of judges. It serves Northern Virginia within the Fourth Circuit.
