Is it Suite 628 or Room 628 at 450 Main Street?
It is the same place under two labels. EOIR's court page, updated October 8, 2026, says Suite 628 in the AA Ribicoff Federal Building & Courthouse. EOIR's Operational Status table and its administrative control list say Room 628, so a notice with either word is not a sign of a different court. The court's ZIP code is 06103-3015. ICE's attorneys in the same building use Room 483 and ZIP 06103-3060, so check which of the two a paper is addressed to before you mail it. The directory of immigration courts lists the other locations.
Who is listed at the Hartford court, and how do I reach staff?
EOIR's staff directory is short. It lists Angela Munson as Assistant Chief Immigration Judge, three immigration judges (David Melanson, Daniel A. Morris and Sarah Sawwan) and one temporary judge, Andrew J. Slitt. The list does not show who has a given case; your notice or the court does. Staff answer at 860-240-3881 and Hartford.Immigration.Court@usdoj.gov. The window takes filings from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., half an hour before public hours end at 4:30 p.m. Asylum.Clock.Hartford@usdoj.gov is only for asylum work-permit clock requests.
How do I get to 450 Main Street?
EOIR's page names one way: public transportation through CT Transit, with no route. It says nothing at all about parking, so settle where you will park before the day and do not count on a spot at the building. Inside, expect EOIR's usual metal detector and bag check on every visit. EOIR states no ID rule for this court, so bring government ID. The Policy Manual says you must clear security and be in the courtroom on time even when the line is slow, so leave extra time.
What else is at 450 Main Street, and where is my ICE check-in?
The court is not the only immigration office here. ICE lists a check-in location at 450 Main Street under its Boston Field Office, phone 860-240-3012, Monday to Friday from 8 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., email HAR.Outreach@ice.dhs.gov, covering the State of Connecticut. An ICE check-in and a court hearing are separate appointments even at one street address, so read which agency your paper names. For a relative in custody, EOIR lists Hartford as a court that may have jurisdiction for FCI Danbury, York Correctional Center and, for ICE detainees, the Franklin County House of Correction in Greenfield, Massachusetts. The notice and EOIR's case system show the actual court.
How do I confirm my date, and could it be on video?
Check your case at acis.eoir.justice.gov or on 1-800-898-7180, then compare it with your latest notice. Our guide to finding your hearing walks through both, and master calendar and individual hearing guides explain what happens inside. The Hartford page has no remote rules of its own. EOIR's Webex directory has a Hartford section by judge, so ask the court whether yours is in person. A phone call does not move a date: EOIR's Policy Manual expects a written motion to continue and says you must appear until it is granted. A missed date can lead to an in absentia order.
