New Immigration Judges at the Van Nuys, West Los Angeles, Santa Ana and Adelanto Immigration Courts (October 2025 to September 2026)
EOIR named 16 judges to the Van Nuys, West Los Angeles, Santa Ana and Adelanto immigration courts since October 2025. Who they are and what to check.
Check your hearing date at the West LA 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 West LA Immigration Court at (310) 335-2100.
- 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.
