What to expect at first hearing (Master Calendar Hearing)
- Arrive early (security takes time)
- Bring full file and ID
- If no attorney: judge will ask how you’ll proceed. Can continue the case to give you time to find legal representation; EOIR publishes no standard length for that continuance.
- If you have attorney: attorney speaks for you in most proceedings.
- Don’t speak English without interpreter: you have right to free interpreter (court-provided) if English isn’t your native language.
If detained
- Visit detained person ASAP: detention center rules apply
- Pay bond if eligible: a delivery bond is at least $1,500 under 8 U.S.C. §1226(a)(2)(A); that is a floor and the statute sets no maximum — see immigration bonds
- Find representation immediately: detained cases have shorter deadlines
