When individuals are in removal or deportation proceedings, their cases are handled by the Executive Office of Immigration Review (EOIR) otherwise known as the immigration court.
When the court requests a hearing, there are generally two types: (1) Master Calendar Hearing (MCH) and (2) Individual Hearing (also known as the “Merits Hearing”).
What happens if I miss my Master Calendar Hearing (MCH)?
Most likely, the immigration judge will order the foreign national deported in absentia. This means that the immigration issued the order without the foreign national’s presence.
What happens if I miss my Individual Hearing?
Most likely, the immigration judge will order the foreign national deported in absentia. This means that the immigration issued the order without the foreign national’s presence.
