Three separate Houston immigration courts

Jefferson Street filing and building access
The Houston–Jefferson Street Immigration Court is open to the public from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., but its filing window closes at 4 p.m. It operates Monday through Friday except federal holidays; these hours are not verified for Houston's other two immigration courts. At 500 Jefferson Street, the lobby has two elevator banks—one serving the 3rd floor and one serving the 19th floor—and visitors go through metal-detector and handbag screening on every visit. Food and drink are barred unless the immigration judge permits them, and cameras and recording devices are prohibited in courtrooms and other EOIR space. These details apply only to the Jefferson Street court.

Houston federal agency visits and court resources
EOIR organizes its pro bono provider list by immigration-court location, so a Houston respondent should use the list for the specific Houston court named on the hearing notice. An ICE field office is not a check-in location. ICE directs people to its Check-in page to locate check-in services, schedule or change an appointment, or update an address. The USCIS field office serving Houston requires an appointment and does not accept walk-ins.

What to ask before contacting an immigration lawyer
These questions are general decision support, not legal advice or a ranking of the listed profiles.
Does the lawyer handle your specific immigration matter?
Family, employment, humanitarian, removal, and other matters can involve different processes, so confirm fit directly.
Does the matter involve USCIS, EOIR, or both?
The agency or court involved changes the process and required filings, so identify where the matter is pending.
How are attorney charges separated from government filing fees?
Government filing fees and attorney charges are separate, and both should be clarified directly.
Who prepares and reviews the filings?
Ask which team members prepare documents and who performs the legal review before filing.
Can communication take place in your preferred language?
Profile-listed languages are a starting point; confirm communication availability directly with the lawyer or firm.

Frequently Asked Questions
What should I expect when entering the Houston–Jefferson Street immigration court?
At 500 Jefferson Street, the lobby has two elevator banks—one serving the 3rd floor and one serving the 19th floor—and visitors go through metal-detector and handbag screening on every visit. Food and drink are barred unless the immigration judge permits them, and cameras and recording devices are prohibited in EOIR space. These details are specific to the Jefferson Street court.

Is the ICE field office in Houston where I go for a check-in?
No. ICE says its field offices are not check-in locations. Use ICE's Check-in page to find the appropriate check-in location, schedule or change an appointment, or update an address. The field-office directory and check-in tool serve different purposes, so the location shown for one should not be assumed to serve the other.

Is my immigration-court address-change deadline the same as USCIS's deadline?
No. EOIR requires a person with an immigration-court or Board case to report address or contact changes within five working days, using EOIR-33/IC or EOIR-33/BIA and a separate form for each affected person. USCIS has its own 10-day federal requirement, so both duties can apply.

Can I walk into a USCIS field office in Texas without an appointment?
No. USCIS states that its field offices do not accept walk-in visitors and require an appointment for an in-person visit. This is a federal USCIS access rule that applies to field offices serving Texas; it is not a Texas state procedure.

Can my attorney attend my USCIS interview remotely?
A current USCIS announcement says no for field-office interviews and for affirmative asylum and NACARA 203 interviews at asylum offices, except in limited circumstances. Since May 18, 2026, attorneys and accredited representatives generally must attend those interviews physically. This is a current operational announcement, not a statute, regulation, or codified USCIS policy.
