Because of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the Immigration courts’ standing orders are not in effect through Jan. 31, 2022.
What are some of the changes for Immigration court hearings?
Attorneys and respondents for now do not need to be in the same location (e.g. the attorney’s office). So when appearing for by phone or webex your attorney can be in a different location from you. If you choose you may continue to be in the same place with your lawyer. But for the safety of everyone, respondent’s do not need to make special arrangements with the court.
The EOIR notice can be found here.
