Is the court on the 15th Floor or in Suite 2900?
EOIR's own sources disagree, so check before you travel. The court's page, updated October 22, 2026, and the control list, updated October 1, 2026, both say 290 Broadway, 15th Floor. EOIR's Operational Status page, as of October 31, 2026, shows Suite 2900. We found no EOIR notice explaining the difference, and we cannot say which is out of date. Follow the room on your latest notice, and if it does not match, call 212-240-4900 before the day. Do this early if a master calendar hearing is coming up. The street address, 290 Broadway, is the same in both.
Is this the same court as 26 Federal Plaza or Varick Street?
No. EOIR lists three separate Manhattan courts, each with its own address and phone. This one is at 290 Broadway, phone 212-240-4900. The Federal Plaza court is at 26 Federal Plaza, 12th Floor, Room 1237. The Varick court is at 201 Varick Street, 5th Floor, Room 507. The confusion is easy, because EOIR tells Federal Plaza visitors to use a main entrance on Broadway, between Duane and Worth Streets. That entrance is for 26 Federal Plaza, not this building. Use the address on your most recent notice, and our guide to confirming your hearing shows how to verify it.
When can I file papers at 290 Broadway?
The doors and the window keep different hours. Public hours are 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., but the filing window opens at 8:30 a.m. and stops at 4 p.m., Monday to Friday except federal holidays. Arrive at 8 a.m. with papers and you will wait 30 minutes; arrive at 4:15 p.m. and you are too late. The court discards faxes and electronic submissions unless staff or the judge asked for them, and it does not add them to the record. General questions go to NYBroadway.Immigration.Court@usdoj.gov. Closures and changed hours appear on EOIR's Operational Status page, Facebook and X.
Is there parking or transit information for 290 Broadway?
EOIR's Parking/Transit heading for this court is blank as of October 31, 2026. We found no official source for parking, garages or subway stops at this building, so we list none. Its security section has only EOIR's general process, a metal detector and handbag check on each visit, and it gives no ID rule, so ask at 212-240-4900 what to bring. The Broadway entrance described on the Federal Plaza page belongs to that court's building, so do not use it as a direction to number 290. Plan your own route, and check it against the address on your notice.
I searched a judge's name. How do I know who has my case?
The staff listing cannot tell you. EOIR's page names Khalilah M. Taylor as Assistant Chief Immigration Judge and lists 24 immigration judges, so a name search proves little. Enter your A-number and nationality at acis.eoir.justice.gov or call 800-898-7180. ACIS says not all cases or information are displayed, that it is for convenience only, and that bond hearing information comes from the local court. Your court notice is the official source. EOIR's internet hearing directory, updated October 29, 2026, gives Webex links by judge, but a respondent with no representative of record defaults to in-person. If you cannot tell the format, call the court.
