When preparing for your final immigration court hearing, timing is crucial. You must submit all relevant evidence well in advance to give both your attorney and the court enough time to review your materials.

The 30-Day Rule

As a general rule, all evidence must be submitted at least 30 days before your final hearing. This timeline allows the immigration judge and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) attorney to review the documents before testimony begins.

Earlier Deadlines

Some immigration judges may require evidence to be submitted earlier — even 60 days before the hearing. Always check your judge’s specific order or local court rules to avoid missing a deadline.

Don’t Wait Until the Last Minute

Submitting evidence at the last minute can create unnecessary stress and risk your documents being excluded. Early preparation ensures that your attorney can:

• Review the evidence for accuracy and completeness,

• Address any inconsistencies, and

• Organize your materials clearly for the judge.

Remember — preparation and timing are just as important as the strength of your evidence.
