Where do I go once I reach 2345 Grand Boulevard?
The court is in Suite 525, in a building with a public-access lobby. EOIR says visitors are screened by security on arrival on the 5th floor, so the lobby is not the checkpoint and you should go up rather than wait there. Proper identification is required, and EOIR's page does not define the term, so bring a government-issued document and your hearing notice. Every visit means a metal detector and a bag check, and shoes may have to come off. Food and drinks are not allowed unless the judge permits them.
Where can I park near the court?
EOIR's court page says there is pay parking in the building's garage and limited metered street parking around the building and within one block. It links a map to the garage at 206 E 20th St and gives no rate. Since street spaces are limited, arriving with time to spare and being ready for the garage is the safer plan. For transit, EOIR points only to kcata.org and names no route. Allow for a master calendar hearing that runs long, because the page does not say how long the meters allow.
What are the hours, and how do I file papers?
Public hours and window filing hours are both 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. (8:00-16:00), Monday to Friday except federal holidays, and EOIR posts unexpected closures on its operational status page. If you are bringing papers, reach the 5th-floor screening well before the window closes, since you must pass security to get to it. Faxes and electronic submissions the court did not request are discarded. Questions go to KansasCity.Immigration.Court@usdoj.gov or 816-581-5000. The separate mailbox Asylum.Clock.Kansas.City@usdoj.gov is for Asylum EAD Clock requests only. Give the applicant's name, A-number and the reason for adjusting the clock. EOIR says that mailbox answers nothing else.
Could my Kansas City hearing be by Webex?
EOIR's internet hearing directory has a Kansas City section with each judge's Webex link and telephone code, but a link there does not cancel the trip to Grand Boulevard. A person with no representative of record defaults to in person, whatever the directory shows, and EOIR tells anyone unsure of the format to contact the court, which here means 816-581-5000. To hear the next date, time and location, call 1-800-898-7180 with your A-number. The guide on how to find your hearing covers the lookup.
Why is Kansas listed beside this court?
The October 1, 2026 version of EOIR's Administrative Control List shows all non-detained cases in Missouri and Kansas beside this court, with places such as Leavenworth Jail, Platte County Jail and the St. Louis and Wichita detention centers. EOIR's state-based court directory lists one court in Missouri and has no Kansas heading, so a Kansas search may lead to Grand Boulevard. The list is general and does not place any one case, so if your notice names another court, follow it. The court directory has the others, and the in absentia guide covers a missed date.
