Is my notice for the court or for ICE at 2035 N. Central?
These are two separate addresses, and the difference matters. EOIR lists the court at 250 N. Seventh Ave., Suite 300. ICE lists both its Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) field office and its attorneys, OPLA, at 2035 N. Central Avenue, with 602-257-5900 for ERO. A hearing before a judge belongs at Seventh Avenue. For a check-in or other ICE appointment, go where the ICE document says, even if that is another site. One does not replace the other, so if you hold both papers, keep both dates. EOIR gives a suite but no floor, and says only that visitor parking signs are posted. It lists no transit details. We found no official page that names a bus or light rail stop for this court.
How do I confirm my Phoenix hearing and judge?
EOIR calls your notice the official source, so start there, then check EOIR's Automated Case Information System or 800-898-7180 with your A-number, using the steps in our guide to finding your hearing date, court and judge. If they differ, call the court. Arizona has four EOIR courts: Phoenix, Eloy, Florence and Tucson. A move from one to another changes where you appear. When read on October 31, 2026, EOIR's directory listed eight judges under Phoenix: John Cortes, Elizabeth Cottor, Jennifer Gaz, Marni Guerrero, Paul Habich, Melissa Karlen, Munish Sharda and Michael Schnitzer, who is also listed under Eloy. The list does not show who has your case.
When can I file papers, and how do I reach the clerk?
The window takes filings from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., while public hours run to 4:30 p.m., so a person who arrives at 4:15 p.m. can enter but may miss the window. The court is open Monday through Friday, except federal holidays, and may close for weather or emergencies; EOIR's Operational Status page posts closures. The window is not the only route. EOIR's Policy Manual allows mail or courier to the court's street address and filing in open court. Attorneys and accredited representatives of record must use ECAS e-filing, and unrepresented people whom EOIR notifies may use its Respondent Access Portal. A mailed paper counts only when the court receives it. Unrequested faxes and emailed documents are discarded with no notice to you. Asylum.Clock.Phoenix@usdoj.gov takes only asylum work-permit clock requests.
Do I go in person or join by Webex?
Assume in person unless you know otherwise. EOIR says a person with no representative of record always has an in-person default, regardless of the Webex links on its directory page. If you do have a representative, ask them which format the judge set, and if you are unsure, contact the court at 602-640-2747 or Phoenix.Immigration.Court@usdoj.gov well before the date. For a first appearance, our guide to the master calendar hearing explains what happens, and our guide to an order issued in your absence covers a missed hearing. EOIR prohibits recording or photographing any part of a hearing over the internet.
Is my asylum interview at this court?
Not if your notice comes from USCIS. EOIR's page says USCIS and ICE are part of DHS and separate from EOIR. USCIS lists Arizona under its Los Angeles Asylum Office, at 14101 Myford Road, Tustin, CA 92780-7020, as read October 31, 2026, and your interview notice names the location. If the notice is from the court, come to Seventh Avenue, where everyone passes a metal detector and handbag screening on each visit, so allow time for the line. EOIR's Phoenix page was dated October 8, 2026. For help with a case, see our removal defense page.
