History
The Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR) was created on January 9, 1983, and is responsible for adjudicating immigration-related matters in the Nation’s trial-level immigration courts, the appellate-level Board of Immigration Appeals, and the Office of the Chief Administrative Hearing Officer, which handles employment-related cases. EOIR is completely independent of the immigration enforcement functions of both the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Department of Justice’s Office of Special Counsel for Immigration-Related Unfair Employment Practices.
Mission
The primary mission of the Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR) is to adjudicate immigration cases by fairly, expeditiously, and uniformly interpreting and administering the Nation's immigration laws. Under delegated authority from the Attorney General, EOIR conducts immigration court proceedings, appellate reviews, and administrative hearings.
Major Functions
The major functions of EOIR are to:
- Adjudicate immigration-related matters at the trial and appellate levels.
- Support the immigration judges, appellate immigration judges, and administrative law judges through professional development and resources that benefit all those who work in or with the Agency.
