Precomputed from exact TRAC aggregate counts; asylum granted + other relief granted = any relief granted, and outcomes sum to N. FY2026 is year-to-date through the published source cutoff. No values are interpolated. TRAC aggregate source · retrieved 2026-08-30. Methodology.
These figures cover completed asylum decisions in TRAC's published data, not all immigration-court matters. Outcomes may reflect case mix, representation, nationality, detention status, policy, and other factors; they are not a judge quality score. Read the methodology.
Visitor information
Hearing instructions
EOIR lists Internet-based hearing links and telephonic access codes in its current hearing directory. The hearing notice and current EOIR instructions control whether a particular hearing is remote or in person. Unrepresented respondents generally appear in person unless EOIR directs otherwise.
Building access and security
Enter through the main lobby. All visitors are required to check in and sign-in with the lobby attendant. Immigration court visitors and attorneys must not remain in the lobby area or near the entrance doors of the building, as it is a violation of the building policy. If you must meet your client(s) prior to the scheduled immigration court hearing, please designate an alternate location near the immigration court to meet your client.
Security information: All visitors to the immigration court must undergo a security screening through a metal detector machine as well as a handbag screening each time they visit the immigration court. Shoes may be required to be removed. Food and drinks are not allowed, except as specifically permitted by the immigration judge. Usage of cameras or recording devices in courtrooms or other EOIR space is prohibited. Note, however, that attorneys or accredited representatives of record and DHS attorneys representing the government in proceedings before EOIR are permitted to use electronic devices in EOIR courtrooms for the limited purpose of conducting immediately relevant court and business-related activities (e.g. scheduling).
Parking and public transit
Due to very limited street parking.
Use public transportation to come to immigration court. The immigration court is located in the financial downtown district near the Montgomery BART station and close to several bus stops on the Muni line. You can also take CalTrain to the San Francisco stop.
