This is general information, not legal advice. Immigration court is complex and the stakes are high — consult a licensed immigration attorney about your case.

If you miss your hearing
Missing an immigration court hearing is serious. The judge can order you removed in absentia under INA § 240(b)(5)(A) — a deportation order issued without you present. Under 8 U.S.C. §1229a(b)(5)(C), such an order may be rescinded only on a motion to reopen filed within 180 days (exceptional circumstances) or at any time if you did not receive proper notice or were in Federal or State custody and the failure to appear was through no fault of your own. Form EOIR-33/IC says you must file it with the immigration court within five working days of a change to your contact information, and that the court sends all official correspondence (e.g., notices, decisions) to the address you provide.
You are not given a free attorney
Under 8 U.S.C. §1229a(b)(4)(A), you have the privilege of being represented in immigration court at no expense to the Government — the government does not pay for your lawyer. You may hire one or seek free/low-cost help:
