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.
In the Phoenix area, two different federal systems may be involved in your situation:
- 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.
Detained cases near Phoenix are often heard at the Eloy court rather than downtown, so check your Notice to Appear for the correct location. To get matched with a Phoenix immigration attorney, connect with a lawyer.
