If you or a family member has a case in immigration court, staying updated is very important. In 2025, the Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR) updated its online system, making it easier to check your case status at any time.

At the Law Offices of Sabrina Li, P.C., we’ve prepared this step-by-step guide to help you navigate the process with confidence.

To Begin: Go to the Official Website

Open the EOIR Automated Case Information System (ACIS): https://acis.eoir.justice.gov/en/

💡 Tip: This is the official U.S. Department of Justice site. If you see a CAPTCHA or pop-up, complete it to continue.  

Step 1: Enter Your A-Number

Your A-Number is your unique immigration identifier issued by DHS. It appears on immigration documents such as your Notice to Appear (NTA), I-797 notices, Employment Authorization Document (EAD), or green card.

• Enter digits only (no “A” and no dashes).

• If your A-Number has 8 digits, add a leading “0” to make 9 digits.

• Example: A-12345678 → enter 012345678.

On the website, you will see a field labeled “A-Number (Required).”

Step 2: Select Your Country of Nationality

You will also see a required dropdown for “Nationality.” Choose the country of your citizenship as it appears on your immigration paperwork (e.g., your Notice to Appear or passport).

• If you have more than one nationality, select the one listed on your court documents.

• If you are stateless or unsure what to choose, check with EOIR or ask your attorney.

Step 3: Review Your Case Information

After you click Submit, the system will display key details, which may include:

• Your next hearing date, time, and location (court venue).

• The name of your assigned Immigration Judge.

• Limited information about prior decisions, motions, or appeals.

This tool does not require a login and is intended for quick checks.  

⚠️ Remember: official hearing notices and court orders always control if there is any conflict.

Step 4: Be Proactive in Preparing Your Case

Checking your status is only the beginning. The best outcomes come from being proactive: gather evidence, prepare witnesses, and work closely with your attorney to build the strongest case possible.
