Using the tools in New York

What the Numbers Mean for a New York Case

New York City's two immigration courts, 26 Federal Plaza (Broadway) and 201 Varick Street, carry an estimated 195,000 pending cases between them, with master calendar hearings often set years out. Buffalo, Batavia (detained docket), and the video courts serve the rest of the state.

People arrested by ICE in New York City are often processed at 26 Federal Plaza and moved within days to Delaney Hall or Elizabeth in New Jersey, to Batavia in western New York, or out of state. Locating them quickly is the first job.

Affirmative asylum interviews for New York residents are scheduled through the New York Asylum Office in Bethpage, where waits of several years are common. Cases referred to court land at 26 Federal Plaza or Varick Street, with among the longest dockets in the nation. Both paths reward early, complete preparation. Our attorneys are admitted in New York and appear at the New York City immigration courts at 26 Federal Plaza and Varick Street, in person and by video.
