- USCIS handles benefits — applications like a green card, citizenship and naturalization, and green card renewal.
- The immigration court (EOIR) handles removal (deportation) proceedings and applications for relief such as asylum.
Because metro Atlanta has two immigration courts, always check your Notice to Appear to confirm whether it’s the W. Peachtree Street or Ted Turner Drive court. To get matched with an Atlanta immigration attorney, connect with a lawyer.
