Is this the San Juan immigration court?
Yes, as far as EOIR's own listings go. The court page, updated October 8, 2026, and the status page both write Guaynabo (San Juan), the general mailbox is SANJUAN.Immigration.Court@usdoj.gov, and the Administrative Control List adds the label San Juan Federal Building above the San Patricio Office Center. All of these point to one address: #7 Tabonuco Street, Room 401, Guaynabo, PR 00968-4605. EOIR places it in the financial downtown district of Guaynabo. If you are searching for a San Juan court, do not drive to San Juan proper unless your notice says so. Our court directory lists the other locations.
Which hours apply to me, detained or non-detained?
Guaynabo publishes two schedules, and EOIR notes the court has a detention cell inside its space, with security provided by DHS. For non-detained cases, public hours are 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and window filing is 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. For detained cases, public hours are 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday to Thursday and 8 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. on Friday, while window filing is 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday to Thursday and 8 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. on Friday. So a Friday filing in a detained case needs to be at the window by 3:30 p.m. The court is open Monday to Friday except federal holidays.
How does getting into the building work?
Expect two checks. You sign in with the lobby attendant, then pass a metal detector and handbag screening at the building entrance, and the same screening again at the court's fourth-floor entrance. EOIR also says visitors and attorneys must not remain in the lobby or near the building's entrance doors, because that violates building policy. If you are meeting a lawyer or relative first, choose another spot nearby, and do it before you reach the building so you are not left waiting downstairs.
Where do I park near Tabonuco Street?
EOIR's page says street parking is very limited and recommends public transportation to reach the court. If you do drive, it mentions a pay garage in the building and a pay lot at San Patricio Mall across the street, without prices or opening hours for either. The page names no bus or train route, so check one yourself before the day. Allow extra time on top of the drive, since you will go through screening twice before reaching Room 401.
How do I confirm my date or contact the court?
The court's phone is 787-749-4386. Asylum work-permit clock requests go only to Asylum.Clock.San.Juan@usdoj.gov, and the court will not answer anything else sent there. EOIR's internet hearing directory has a Guaynabo section with Webex links, so ask the court if you are unsure of the format. If you have an individual hearing, confirm the details ahead of time, and read the in absentia guide on missed dates. Your next date, time and location are on the automated line, 1-800-898-7180, with your A-number; our guide to finding your hearing also covers the online system.
Which facilities and judges does EOIR list here?
The Administrative Control List, updated October 1, 2026, names three facilities under Guaynabo: PRC San Juan (Puerto Rico Department of Corrections), MDC Guaynabo (Metropolitan Detention Center) and SPC Aguadilla (Service Processing Center). The court page lists Jeffry S. Brady as Assistant Chief Immigration Judge, Elisa M. Sukkar as backup, Jimmie Y. Maisonet as court administrator, and judges Miguel Cordero-Gonzalez, Julia Diaz-Rex, Pedro J. Espinal and Elvin R. Talavera-Peraza. That is EOIR's roster as of October 8, 2026. It does not show who is assigned to any one case, so check your notice.
