Some people’s cases are being rescheduled, including many Master Calendar Hearings. A Master Calendar Hearing is the first hearing in a case, during which the judge sets dates for your case in the future. ILAP recommends calling the Immigration Court hotline (1-800-898-7180) at least weekly to get information about your case. Refer to our self-help guide if you need help calling the court’s hotline. Please note that the hotline may NOT be up to date with a new hearing date if your case was postponed due to COVID-19.
