The following is a list of frequently requested forms. If a form required by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) does not appear on this list, the best source for obtaining a copy is through the USCIS forms link.
EOIR forms may generally be completed on screen and printed, or printed and completed on a typewriter or by hand. You must comply with the specific instructions on the forms. Remember, you may not be able to save your form electronically if it is completed on screen. Some EOIR forms may require a fee. Further information about fees, including fee waiver requests, and filing with the Immigration Courts and the BIA is available at Types of Appeals, Motions, and Required Fees (justice.gov).
Format Required for Downloading EOIR Forms
EOIR provides its forms in Portable Document Format (PDF) which allows you to print an exact copy of the form by using any graphics printer (i.e., laser, inkjet, or plotter). To read and print an EOIR form, however, you must have Adobe Acrobat Reader installed in your computer. Adobe Systems, Inc., offers this software free of charge to the public.
Many forms cannot be uploaded online; they must be printed. Check the forms listing to see if your form can be filled out or uploaded within an EOIR application.
Note that ECAS Case Portal is an application that can only be used by attorneys and fully accredited representatives who are registered with EOIR.
