Where in the PJKK building do I go?
EOIR's address block says PJKK Federal Building, and its access note spells out the Prince Jonah Kuhio Kalanianaole Federal Building, so expect to see either form. EOIR's page, updated October 15, 2026, and checked October 31, 2026, puts the court on the 8th floor at Room 8-112. Security comes first: all public visitors pass through electronic screening on the first floor, and ADA access is available at all entrances. EOIR states no ID rule for this court, so bring government ID. Build the first-floor line and the elevator ride into your arrival time for a master calendar hearing.
Where can I park, and does TheBus stop nearby?
EOIR's page is direct: there is no parking in the building for the general public. It points to metered street parking nearby and paid lots within walking distance, without naming them. It adds that public transportation is available through TheBus and links to thebus.org, but it gives no route, so look yours up there. Allow time to find a meter or a lot and walk back, then to clear the first-floor screening. Under the Policy Manual, delays at security do not excuse a late arrival at a hearing, and one missed date can lead to an in absentia order.
Why does this court close at 4 p.m., and who is listed here?
Many EOIR court pages show public hours until 4:30 p.m., but Honolulu's show 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., the same as its window, and the page does not explain why. Do not leave a filing for the last minute, and before an individual hearing allow for these hours when you send papers. This is a small court: EOIR's directory lists Jason R. Waterloo as Assistant Chief Immigration Judge, Charles Cuevas as Court Administrator, judges Howard Hom and Tamara S. Wallen, and temporary judge Kiley R. Hyatt. Reach staff at 808-541-1870 or Honolulu.Immigration.Court@usdoj.gov.
I live on Guam or Saipan. Is Honolulu my court?
Do not assume so. EOIR's control list, updated October 1, 2026, names Honolulu as a court that may have jurisdiction for the DHS Honolulu District Office, including Hagatna, Guam. Its Honolulu row also shows entries for Immigration Court Hagatna, with no street address, and Immigration Court Saipan. Saipan has its own court in the Marina Heights II Building, phone 670-322-0601, and the list's Saipan row reads as a sub-office of the Honolulu District Office. Your notice shows your location, so confirm it at acis.eoir.justice.gov or on 1-800-898-7180, as our guide to finding your hearing explains.
A relative is in federal custody in Honolulu. Who do I call?
Not the court. ICE lists the Federal Detention Center, Honolulu at 351 Elliott Street, Honolulu, HI 96819. Its page, updated August 6, 2026, says to call 808-529-1970 between 8 a.m. and 3 p.m. with the person's full name, aliases, date of birth and country of birth. ICE says social visits are non-contact and points to the Bureau of Prisons site. The facility falls under ICE's San Francisco Field Office. EOIR names Honolulu as a court that may have jurisdiction for that center and Hawaii corrections sites; the notice shows the actual court. For bond questions, use the bond hearing guide.
