We handle Immigration Court hearings at the Chicago Immigration Court.

If you have an immigration court hearing, you MUST attend. Do NOT ignore any MASTER or CALENDAR hearing as it could negatively impact your case. The judge may dismiss your case if you are not present.

If you missed your court, take action IMMEDIATELY. The judge may reopen the case if there are extraordinary circumnstances that prevented you from attending. Timing is everything.
