The case starts when a notice to appear is filed with the immigration court (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ecfr.gov\/on\/2026-10-20\/title-8\/section-1239.1\">8 C.F.R. \u00a7 1239.1<\/a>). The notice must tell you that you may have a lawyer and that you will get time to find one (<a href=\"https:\/\/uscode.house.gov\/us\/usc\/119-121\/t8\/s1229\/\">8 U.S.C. \u00a7 1229<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>Your first hearing cannot be set sooner than 10 days after the notice is served. You can ask for an earlier date in writing (same source). Know your court date early, because a missed hearing carries its own consequences, covered below.<\/p>\n<p>This page fits people with a hearing on the calendar, a new notice to appear, or a court date they missed or may have missed. Adriana Gomez is the responsible lawyer for this page. AG Immigration Law P.A. focuses on removal defense and related immigration matters.<\/p>\n<h2>Immigration Lawyer Miami Court Hearing: What Representation Covers<\/h2>\n<p>A lawyer who files Form EOIR-28 becomes your practitioner of record. That lawyer must appear in court for you, file documents, and accept service of papers (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ecfr.gov\/on\/2026-10-20\/title-8\/section-1003.17\">8 C.F.R. \u00a7 1003.17<\/a>). Representation usually covers these stages:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Master calendar hearings.<\/strong> These early sessions set the case schedule. You give your answers to the government&#8217;s charges, called pleadings, and the relief you want is first identified.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Relief filings.<\/strong> Applications and supporting documents go to the court before the deadlines that apply.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Individual hearings.<\/strong> This is where evidence and testimony are presented. You have a reasonable opportunity to examine the government&#8217;s evidence, present your own, and cross-examine government witnesses, but these rights do not entitle you to examine national security information the government offers in opposition to your admission to the United States or to an application for discretionary relief (<a href=\"https:\/\/uscode.house.gov\/us\/usc\/119-121\/t8\/s1229a\/\">8 U.S.C. \u00a7 1229a<\/a>).<\/li>\n<li><strong>Continuances.<\/strong> A judge may grant a continuance, which is a later date, for good cause shown, but not a continuance that causes the adjudication of an asylum application to exceed 180 days, absent exceptional circumstances (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ecfr.gov\/on\/2026-10-20\/title-8\/section-1003.29\">8 C.F.R. \u00a7 1003.29<\/a>).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Credibility matters at every stage. The judge may weigh demeanor, plausibility, and whether your statements match over time. Corroborating evidence can be required, and must be provided unless you demonstrate that you do not have it and cannot reasonably obtain it (same source as above). Keep your forms, interviews, and testimony consistent.<\/p>\n<h2>How the Process Works: Step by Step<\/h2>\n<p>The process moves in order: intake, a paid consultation, engagement, the first hearing, filings, the individual hearing, and any appeal. Timing depends on the court&#8217;s calendar.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Intake.<\/strong> You share your Notice to Appear, every hearing notice, and your immigration history.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Paid consultation.<\/strong> A lawyer reviews your facts and explains the options available to you.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Engagement and entry of appearance.<\/strong> The lawyer files Form EOIR-28 with the court. Our team then builds a deadline calendar and a list of records to collect.<\/li>\n<li><strong>First master calendar hearing.<\/strong> Pleadings are entered and the next court date is set.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Filings and individual hearing.<\/strong> Applications, evidence, and testimony are prepared for the judge.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Decision and appeal.<\/strong> If a party disagrees with the immigration judge&#8217;s decision, the appeal goes to the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n<div class=\"cta-dose-mid wp-block-group has-base-color has-accent-background-color has-text-color has-background has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-32197852 wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"background-color:var(--wp--preset--color--accent,#20242e);color:var(--wp--preset--color--base,#ffffff);border-radius:8px;padding-top:1.5rem;padding-bottom:1.5rem;padding-left:1.5rem;padding-right:1.5rem;border-left:6px solid var(--wp--preset--color--cta,currentColor);box-shadow:0 2px 10px rgba(0,0,0,0.18)\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you have received a Notice to Appear or a hearing notice, contact our office right away so we can review your court dates with you.

Common categories include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Adjustment of status.<\/strong> Under <a href=\"https:\/\/uscode.house.gov\/us\/usc\/119-121\/t8\/s1255\/\">8 U.S.C. \u00a7 1255<\/a>, a person in unlawful status on the filing date generally cannot adjust. The statute has exceptions, including for immediate relatives (<a href=\"https:\/\/uscode.house.gov\/us\/usc\/119-121\/t8\/s1255\/\">8 U.S.C. \u00a7 1255<\/a>).<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cancellation of removal for certain permanent residents.<\/strong> Continuous residence generally ends when a notice to appear is served. This is why the date of your notice matters.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Family petitions, waivers, and removal of conditions on a green card.<\/strong> These paths can interact with a removal case, and your facts decide which one fits.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Naturalization.<\/strong> Statutory requirements include continuous residence, physical presence, and good moral character.<\/li>\n<li><strong>BIA appeals.<\/strong> An appeal starts with Form EOIR-26, filed directly with the Board. The Notice of Appeal (Form EOIR-26) must be filed directly with the Board within 10 calendar days of the Immigration Judge&#8217;s decision, or within 30 calendar days for an asylum decision not denied under INA 208(a)(2)(A), (B), or (C). The deadline counts from the oral decision or the mailing or electronic notification of a written decision, and moves to the next business day if it falls on a weekend or holiday (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ecfr.gov\/on\/2026-10-20\/title-8\/section-1003.38\">8 C.F.R. \u00a7 1003.38<\/a>). When a transcript is warranted, briefs are due within 20 days of the Board order setting the schedule and making the transcript available (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ecfr.gov\/on\/2026-10-20\/title-8\/section-1003.3\">8 C.F.R. \u00a7 1003.3<\/a>). <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ecfr.gov\/on\/2026-10-20\/title-8\/section-1003.3\">8 C.F.R. \u00a7 1003.3<\/a> reads: &#8220;The Board shall not accept a reply brief in any case unless the Board has invited or ordered a party to submit a reply brief.&#8221;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Why Readers Work with AG Immigration Law P.A.<\/h2>\n<p>AG Immigration Law P.A. focuses on immigration law, with removal defense as a core practice area.

You may be represented before the immigration judge by an attorney or other representative of your choice, at no expense to the government (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ecfr.gov\/on\/2026-10-20\/title-8\/section-1003.16\">8 C.F.R. \u00a7 1003.16<\/a>).<\/p>\n<h3>What happens if I miss my hearing?<\/h3>\n<p>If you miss your hearing, the judge shall order you removed in absentia if the government shows by clear, unequivocal, and convincing evidence that you are removable and that written notice of the hearing&#8217;s time and place, and of the consequences of not appearing, was provided to you or your lawyer. Notice sent to the most recent address you provided is enough, and if you did not provide your address as required, no written notice is needed for the judge to go ahead without you (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ecfr.gov\/on\/2026-10-20\/title-8\/section-1003.26\">8 C.F.R. \u00a7 1003.26<\/a>). If you were ordered removed in absentia and were given oral notice, in a language you understand, of the hearing and of the consequences of failing to appear other than because of exceptional circumstances, you are not eligible for relief under sections 1229b, 1229c, 1255, 1258, or 1259 for 10 years after the final order (<a href=\"https:\/\/uscode.house.gov\/us\/usc\/119-121\/t8\/s1229a\/\">8 U.S.C. \u00a7 1229a<\/a>).<\/p>\n<h3>Can I attend my hearing without a lawyer?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes, you can appear on your own. A lawyer can file papers, appear for you, and prepare relief applications.<\/p>\n<h3>Is the consultation paid?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes. Consultations are paid, and the fee is disclosed before you book.<\/p>\n<h3>Can I appeal a decision to the BIA?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes. An appeal starts with Form EOIR-26, filed directly with the Board within the regulation&#8217;s deadline.<\/p>\n<h3>How do I know which relief fits my case?<\/h3>\n<p>The answer depends on the facts, including your entry history, your status, and your family ties. The paid consultation is where those facts get reviewed.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large has-custom-border\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/abogadaadrianagomez.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/the-united-states-supreme-court-building-its-white-marble-fa-photo.jpg\" alt=\"United States Supreme Court building with white columns and steps under a bright blue sky with scattered clouds.\" style=\"border-radius:8px;width:100%;aspect-ratio:16\/9;object-fit:cover\"\/><\/figure>\n<h2>Contact AG Immigration Law P.A.
