Immigration is federal law and policy changes frequently. This is general information, not legal advice — for your specific case, talk to a qualified immigration attorney or an accredited nonprofit.
Miami is a major immigration gateway, and the area has several federal offices. Two different systems may be involved:
- 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. If someone is detained, immigration bonds may be in play.
If your case is in immigration court, check your Notice to Appear to see whether it’s the downtown Miami court or the Krome court. To get matched with a Miami immigration attorney, connect with a lawyer.
Federal immigration offices serving Miami
USCIS field office: Metro Miami is served by several USCIS field offices — the Miami Field Office plus offices in Kendall, Hialeah, and Oakland Park.
Immigration court (EOIR): There are two EOIR immigration courts: the Miami Immigration Court downtown for non-detained cases, and the Miami Krome court located at a detention facility in far west Miami-Dade for detained cases.
Don't confuse the two: the downtown Miami court hears non-detained cases, while the Krome court sits inside a detention center and hears the detained docket.
Always confirm the current office, hours, and procedures on the official USCIS and EOIR sites before you go — see the sources at the bottom of this page.
