Be prepared – have a mask available. Face coverings may be required in the courtroom if directed by the presiding immigration judge. As necessary and when appropriate, individuals with medical conditions that prevent them from wearing a face covering should alert the judge to their situation.

To maintain appropriate social distancing and best facilitate hearings, you may be asked to move or leave a particular area.

Waiting times to enter the building and EOIR space may be significantly longer than usual. Make arrangements to arrive in advance of your hearing so you arrive to the courtroom on time.

Social distancing (maintaining a distance of six feet from those with whom you do not live) is required.

Please remember this while choosing to enter an elevator. Elevator wait times may be significantly longer than usual for this reason.

In EOIR space, staff or signs may direct you to a seat. If instructed to sit in a particular location, do not switch seats.

Please do not bring people with you into EOIR space unless they are required to be present for your hearing. Remember that the immigration court may limit entry.
