Am I going to Room 440 or the 6th Floor?
Both are at 31 Hopkins Plaza, and they mean different things. EOIR places the court in Room 440 of the George Fallon Federal Building. ICE's check-in page, updated March 4, 2025, lists its Baltimore Field Office on the 6th Floor, with appointment times Monday to Saturday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. An undated ICE handout also names Room 1600 for OPLA Baltimore, the ICE attorneys, but ICE's current office listing has no street row for Baltimore. If your paper says Room 440 you are going to court, and if it says the 6th Floor it is an ICE appointment. One does not cover the other. Use the guide on checking your hearing to confirm any court date.
What are the hours, and how do I reach the building?
EOIR's page, updated October 22, 2026, gives public hours of 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and window filing hours of 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday except federal holidays. For transit it points to the Maryland Transit Administration at mta.maryland.gov. It lists no parking at all, so we give no parking advice. It lists a room but no floor, and we found no current official note on a building entrance. Call 410-962-3092 if you need it. The page warns that the court may close unexpectedly, with notices on EOIR's Operational Status page, Facebook and X.
How does Baltimore relate to the Hyattsville court?
EOIR's administrative control list, updated October 1, 2026, shows both Maryland courts under the Baltimore DHS district office, and it names no detention facility under either. A Maryland address therefore does not tell you which court is yours. EOIR said cases would be transferred from Baltimore when it opened the Hyattsville court on February 28, 2022, so an old paper may be out of date; follow your latest notice. The Maryland directory collects related listings, and the master calendar hearing guide covers what happens inside the room.
How do I file, and where is the asylum clock mailbox?
The filing window closes at 4 p.m. A fax or electronic submission nobody requested is discarded without notice to the sender, and ECAS is EOIR's separate e-filing system. Baltimore.Immigration.Court@usdoj.gov is for general questions. Asylum.Clock.Baltimore@usdoj.gov is only for asylum work-permit clock requests, which must give the applicant's name, alien registration number and reason for the adjustment. For a change of address on Form EOIR-33, the undated ICE handout lists OPLA Baltimore, Room 1600, and says to update ICE officers through the ICE Portal. ICE's current listing names Baltimore only in its Northeast Region, so ask the court where a DHS copy goes. Our removal defense page explains how the firm handles court cases.
Which judges are listed, and what does EOIR say about entry?
EOIR's page lists Immigration Judges Kathy Aguiar, Alice Hartye, Pallavi Shirole, Jeffrey Sprague, Michael Paul Taylor, Nelson Vargas-Padilla and Gordan S. Vincent. That shows who is listed here, not who has your case. For entry, the page gives a metal detector and handbag screening and says nothing specific about ID. Hearings are open to the public, with limited exceptions, and no advance notice is required, so a relative or friend may come along. If you need more about the building, the court's number is 410-962-3092.
