Immigration Help in Sacramento, California
Immigration is federal law, so the agencies handling your case in Sacramento are national ones — USCIS for benefits like green cards and citizenship, and the immigration court (EOIR) for removal proceedings. Here's where those offices are for Sacramento, plus how to get matched with a local immigration attorney.

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.
Sacramento is one of the more straightforward California metros for immigration: both federal offices are downtown, in the same building. Two 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.
Both the Sacramento Field Office and the Sacramento Immigration Court are in the downtown John E. Moss Federal Building. Always confirm hours and procedures on the official USCIS and EOIR sites before you go. To get matched with a Sacramento immigration attorney, connect with a lawyer.
Federal immigration offices serving Sacramento
USCIS field office: The Sacramento Field Office handles in-person USCIS matters such as green card and naturalization interviews; it sits in the downtown John E. Moss Federal Building.
Immigration court (EOIR): The Sacramento Immigration Court hears removal cases and is located in the same downtown federal building (the John E. Moss Federal Building).
Sacramento is unusually convenient — the USCIS field office and the immigration court are in the same downtown federal building, so both kinds of appointments are in one place.
