What to ask before contacting an immigration lawyer

These questions are general decision support, not legal advice or a ranking of the listed profiles.

Which specific immigration matters does the lawyer regularly handle?

Family-based petitions, employment visas, asylum, and removal defense are different practices with different procedures and timelines.

Who will attend interviews and hearings?

Ask whether the lawyer or an associate will personally attend your interviews and hearings.

How are case-status updates shared between appointments?

Ask how the office shares case-status updates between appointments; experience with one visa category does not guarantee familiarity with another.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Where is the Broadway Immigration Court in Manhattan?

EOIR's New York–Broadway Immigration Court is at 290 Broadway in Manhattan. A person should use the court and hearing information on the official EOIR notice because Manhattan has multiple federal immigration venues.

Can I walk into the USCIS field office at 26 Federal Plaza?

No. USCIS field offices do not accept walk-ins. Any visit to the New York City Field Office at 26 Federal Plaza requires a scheduled appointment confirmed by USCIS.

Can New York Family Court help an immigrant child with a pending case?

In some cases, yes. A New York Family Court, not a federal court, is the body that can make the specific factual findings, such as that a child can't safely reunify with a parent, that USCIS requires before it will grant Special Immigrant Juvenile Status. This is a state-court finding that feeds into a separate federal immigration application.

Do immigration cases go through New York state court?

No. Immigration law is exclusively federal, so removal and related immigration proceedings are heard by federal immigration judges within the Executive Office for Immigration Review, not New York state courts.

Where is immigration court located in New York City?

New York City has several EOIR immigration court locations, including Federal Plaza, Broadway, and Varick Street. Which court a case is assigned to depends on how and where the case was filed.
