How do I find Suite 300 at 1501 Biscayne Boulevard?
Paid parking is in an adjacent privately owned garage. USCIS gives no price, the office does not validate, and spaces marked RESERVED are off limits, so bring a way to pay. From the garage, take the blue office elevators to Level 5, then walk through the glass doors to Suite 300. The suite number does not by itself tell you that, so allow time. Drivers leave I-95 and finish on Biscayne Boulevard, with the office on the left: from the north via NE 2nd Avenue and NE 15th Terrace, from the south via NE 36th Street. USCIS dated these directions May 18, 2026, and we read them October 31, 2026. They do not cover building security.
Am I under Miami or Tampa if I live in Florida?
Florida is split by county, and in six counties by ZIP code. USCIS lists Miami for Brevard, Broward, Charlotte, Collier, DeSoto, Glades, Hendry, Highlands, Indian River, Lee, Martin, Miami-Dade, Monroe, Okeechobee, Orange, Osceola, Palm Beach, Seminole and St. Lucie counties. Orlando-area applicants in Orange or Osceola therefore appear here. Hardee, Lake, Marion, Polk, Sarasota and Volusia are divided, with some ZIP codes under Miami and others under the Tampa Asylum Office. Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands are also listed here. In a divided county, look up your exact ZIP code on both USCIS pages. If it is on neither list, USCIS does not say which office applies, so ask the Contact Center and follow your notice.
What is the difference between this office and the Miami immigration court?
They are different agencies at different addresses, even though a search for Miami asylum can bring up both. This office belongs to USCIS. EOIR's status page lists the Miami Immigration Court at One Riverview Square, 333 S. Miami Avenue, Suite 700, and that court is not on Biscayne Boulevard. It also lists the Krome detained court at 18201 SW 12th Street. A Notice of Hearing has its own check: use our guide to checking your hearing date, court and judge. For the court's own logistics, see our page on the Miami immigration court.
How do I contact the Miami Asylum Office?
USCIS lists 786-456-2900 as the phone, 786-456-2910 as the fax and Miami.Asylum@uscis.dhs.gov as the email, with no clock hours for the office itself. In-person information services ended here on April 6, 2026, and walk-ins are not accepted. USCIS says the office gives no status help by phone, citing confidentiality. New applications on Form I-589 are not filed here, but evidence for a pending case may be mailed to the street address and suite. For an address change, call the Contact Center at 800-375-5283 or use Form AR-11.
Can I reach Biscayne Boulevard by public transit, and what if I cannot come?
USCIS says the Metromover is nearby and gives bus information lines: Miami-Dade County at 305-770-3131 and Broward County at 954-357-8400. It names no stop, so plan the last stretch yourself. If you cannot attend, USCIS says to call the Contact Center at 1-800-375-5283 before the appointment, on the day, or within 10 days after a missed interview, with your reason and any evidence. The line is open Monday to Friday, 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Eastern. Requests are judged under the exceptional circumstances standard, and rescheduling may affect work permit eligibility. Our affirmative asylum guide covers the interview, and our asylum practice page explains representation.
