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

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:
- Free & low-cost immigration legal aid in Virginia
- How to find a real immigration attorney — never use a notario; that is fraud.
