How do I find the Marina Heights II Building?
EOIR's page, updated October 15, 2026, and read October 31, 2026, gives a building name rather than a street number: Marina Heights II Building, Suite 301, Marina Heights Business Park, Saipan, MP 96950. Look for the business park and then the building, and call 670-322-0601 if you cannot find it. Mail is different: EOIR lists P.O. Box 505595, Saipan, MP 96950, so visitors go to the building and mail goes to the box. Your hearing notice remains the place to confirm where you must appear. We found no official directions or transit information.
When can I file papers in Saipan?
Public hours and the window are identical, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., and EOIR is direct about the cutoff: the court receives documents each business day, and none are accepted after 4 p.m. With no later window, a filing that reaches the counter at 4:05 p.m. is too late for that day. The court is closed on federal holidays, and OPM publishes the observed dates. It may also close unexpectedly for weather or another emergency, and EOIR posts this on its Operational Status page, Facebook and X. Faxes and electronic submissions are refused unless staff or the judge asked for them, and unrequested ones are discarded.
Is there parking at Marina Heights?
EOIR says any unmarked space around the building can be used at no charge. That line does not cover marked spaces, so look for an unmarked one. It is all EOIR says about getting here, and it gives no public transit information, so plan your route ahead. The security text is EOIR's general process, a metal detector and handbag check on each visit, so leave time for screening. The page has no ID rule, though carrying your documents and notice is sensible for any master calendar hearing. If you need to know more about access, ask at 670-322-0601.
Which judge is listed for Saipan, and can a hearing be by Webex?
The staff directory names Jason R. Waterloo as Assistant Chief Immigration Judge and Charles Cuevas as Court Administrator, and the Immigration Judges line under them is empty. EOIR's internet hearing directory, updated October 29, 2026, shows one entry under Saipan, for Waterloo, whose entry also appears under other courts. Neither page tells you who has a case, so check your notice, then acis.eoir.justice.gov or 800-898-7180, remembering that ACIS does not display all cases. The court page itself has no remote rules. EOIR's directory says a respondent with no representative of record defaults to in-person, and that you should contact the court if unsure of the format. Our individual hearing guide covers the final hearing.
How is Saipan connected to Honolulu, Guam and ICE?
EOIR's control list, updated October 1, 2026, says a court “may have jurisdiction” over charging documents tied to listed DHS offices and custody sites. It shows Saipan as its own court and names the DHS sub-office of the Honolulu District Office and the CNMI Department of Corrections under it. The Honolulu court's entry also mentions Saipan and Hagatna, Guam. That does not settle where one case is heard; your notice shows your location. ICE lists a separate Saipan check-in location at #2 Joeten Center, Gualo Rai, Saipan, MP 96950, covering the CNMI, with appointments Monday to Thursday, 8 a.m. to 3 p.m., under its San Francisco Field Office, with no phone listed. ICE's page shows a last update of March 4, 2025, so confirm on your paper.
