EXECUTIVE OFFICE FOR IMMIGRATION REVIEW (EOIR)

The Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR) is an agency within the U.S. Department of Justice which is responsible for deciding whether immigrants are deportable/removeable from the United States. The EOIR oversees the Immigration Courts and the Board of Immigration Appeals.

“I can honestly say that Mr. Carl Shusterman and his team are probably the best in the business when it comes to immigration matters. Carl’s greatest asset is his prior work experience as a former INS prosecutor. My family and I were on the verge of being deported from the United States. Because of Carl’s expertise and dedication, not only are we allowed to remain in this country permanently but are on path of obtaining citizenship…” (More client reviews…)

The principal function of the EOIR is to conduct removal proceedings, which are administrative proceedings to determine the removability of individuals in the United States. Removal proceedings are conducted in Immigration Courts. The BIA decides cases on appeal from the Immigration Courts.
