Boston Immigration Court

The Boston Immigration Court is part of the Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR) within the U.S. Department of Justice. It handles removal (deportation) proceedings, defensive asylum, cancellation of removal, and bond hearings for people in Massachusetts.

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

How to check your hearing date and case status

You are responsible for knowing your hearing date — the court does not call to remind you.

Important: If you don’t have a representative of record, your default hearing medium is in-person regardless of any link above. Photographing or recording any part of an internet-based hearing is strictly prohibited.

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. If this happens you may file a Motion to Reopen, but the deadlines are strict. Always keep your address current with the court using Form EOIR-33/IC so you actually receive your notices.

You are not given a free attorney

Immigration court is not like criminal court — the government does not appoint you a free lawyer. You may hire one or seek free/low-cost help:

The Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR) publishes a List of Pro Bono Legal Service Providers. The edition we read on October 20, 2026 is marked Updated October 2026 and lists the providers below under the heading Boston Immigration Court (Boston, Massachusetts). EOIR’s list page says the List contains non-profit organizations and attorneys who have committed to providing at least 50 hours per year of pro bono legal services before the immigration court location where they appear on the List, plus pro bono referral services; EOIR publishes it quarterly (January, April, July, and October).

EOIR’s markers: * Non-Profit Organization, ** Referral Service, *** Private Attorney. This court’s section of the October 2026 edition has no *** entries. The same edition has a separate Boston Immigration Court Juvenile Docket section (2 providers), shown after the main list. Names, addresses, phone numbers and emails are copied exactly as EOIR prints them.

EOIR’s disclaimer (verbatim): “EOIR does not endorse any of these organizations, referral services, or attorneys. In addition, EOIR does not participate in, nor is it responsible for, the representation decisions or performance of these organizations, referral services, or attorneys.” Source: EOIR, List of Pro Bono Legal Service Providers (page updated September 24, 2026; read October 20, 2026).
