Check your hearing date at the Stewart 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 Stewart Immigration Court at (229) 838-1324.
- 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 Stewart Immigration Court
Public sources.
The court is at the Stewart Detention Center, 146 CCA Road, in rural Lumpkin, Georgia — reached via CCA Road off Georgia Highway 27, with no conventional cross-streets, roughly two hours southwest of Atlanta near the Alabama line.
There is no public transit; the remote, rural setting is car-only, and the isolation limits in-person access to counsel and visitation. Free on-site parking is available.
This is a detained court located at the Stewart Detention Center, a large privately operated ICE facility; the court entrance is beside the detention facility's main entrance on DHS-controlled premises.
Stewart is one of the largest detained dockets in the Southeast, serving people held at the Lumpkin facility, within the Eleventh Circuit.
