Format Required for Downloading EOIR Forms

EOIR provides its forms in Portable Document Format (PDF) which allows you to print an exact copy of the form by using any graphics printer (i.e., laser, inkjet, or plotter). To read and print an EOIR form, however, you must have Adobe Acrobat Reader installed in your computer. Adobe Systems, Inc., offers this software free of charge to the public.

Many forms cannot be uploaded online; they must be printed. Check the forms listing to see if your form can be filled out or uploaded within an EOIR application.

Note that ECAS Case Portal is an application that can only be used by attorneys and fully accredited representatives who are registered with EOIR.

If a form required by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) does not appear on this list, the best source for obtaining a copy is through the USCIS forms link.
