Have Your A-Number Ready
Most systems require your Alien Registration Number (A-Number). This is a 7-9 digit number that appears on immigration documents and court notices.
Check Information Regularly
Case statuses and hearing dates can change. Check the EOIR case status system regularly, especially in the weeks before a scheduled hearing.
Keep Records
Print or screenshot important information from these systems, including case status updates, hearing notices, and bond payment confirmations.
Understand Time Zones
When posting bonds or scheduling check-ins, pay attention to time zone differences. Bond posting hours are based on the detention facility's local time zone.
