Immigration Court for Central Pennsylvania: Serving Harrisburg Clients
If your case arises in the Harrisburg area, here is how removal cases are generally heard in Central Pennsylvania — and how we serve clients there.
Where Central PA cases are heard
Immigration courts are part of the Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR) within the U.S. Department of Justice. Removal cases arising in Central Pennsylvania, including the Harrisburg region, are often heard by the Philadelphia Immigration Court. The specific court and judge assigned depend on where the case is filed and current EOIR scheduling.
Federal appeals from Pennsylvania
Appeals from decisions of an immigration judge generally go to the Board of Immigration Appeals. Further review of certain decisions may be sought in the federal courts of appeals; appeals arising from Pennsylvania are heard by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit.
