What to do if my case has gone to immigration court?

Check if I am booked through the FOIA Record
The United States FOIA Record is an online database containing information about public information requests submitted to US federal agencies and responses to those requests. The database is available to the general public and can be searched by agency or state.

How do I know if I am booked by immigration after a court?
The quickest way to find out if you are booked by an immigration court is to do so by making a phone call.
Before making the call, we recommend that you have your foreigner’s number or «A» number on hand (you can find this number in the notifications sent to you by the Immigration Court, such as a work permit, dates when you must go to court. ), this is because during the call, the voice system will ask you to provide the necessary information to identify your case.
To do this, you only have to dial the service number 1 (800) 898 7180 and then dial option 2 in case you do not yet speak English, so that they can provide you with service in the Spanish language.
After complying with the instructions, you will be able to find out if the process has ended, or if it is still pending, which court has your case, what the judge’s decision was and other information related to your case.
You need to know that both options (FOIA record, or call) can only be applied if your case has been heard by an immigration court in the United States.
