This is established by immigration law and the Immigration Court Practice Manual of the Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR), which is part of the Department of Justice.<\/p>\n<p>The order in absentia (<em>in absentia<\/em>This order is issued when a person in removal proceedings fails to appear at their hearing and the government proves they were properly notified. For those pursuing a case without legal representation, missing a hearing due to illness, a change of address, or a notice that never arrived can result in such an order.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"tla-infografia\" data-tla=\"visual\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thelatinamericans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/ilustracion-405-6UjptM-1024x669.png\" alt=\"Infograf\u00eda: Moci\u00f3n para reabrir una orden en ausencia\" width=\"1024\" height=\"669\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-407\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thelatinamericans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/ilustracion-405-6UjptM-1024x669.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.thelatinamericans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/ilustracion-405-6UjptM-300x196.png 300w, https:\/\/www.thelatinamericans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/ilustracion-405-6UjptM-768x502.png 768w, https:\/\/www.thelatinamericans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/ilustracion-405-6UjptM-18x12.png 18w, https:\/\/www.thelatinamericans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/ilustracion-405-6UjptM.png 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<h2>What the law says<\/h2>\n<p>According to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.law.cornell.edu\/uscode\/text\/8\/1229a\">Article 240 of the Immigration and Nationality Act (8 USC \u00a7 1229a)<\/a>, The order can only be rescinded in two ways. The first is a motion filed within 180 days of the order, in which the person demonstrates that they failed to appear due to exceptional circumstances. The second is a motion filed at any time, if the person demonstrates that they did not receive the notification or that they were in federal or state custody and failed to appear through no fault of their own.<\/p>\n<p>The Practice Manual adds that the circumstances must be beyond the person&#039;s control. It also clarifies that the Board of Immigration Appeals does not have jurisdiction over direct appeals of these orders; the process is handled by the immigration judge.<\/p>\n<h2>Time limit, fee and suspension of deportation<\/h2>\n<p>Filing the motion automatically suspends the removal until the judge resolves it, in accordance with the law and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.justice.gov\/eoir\/reference-materials\/ic\/chapter-5\/9\">Chapter 5.9 of the Practice Manual<\/a>. Only one motion is allowed to reopen and to rescind an order in absentia.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.justice.gov\/eoir\/types-appeals-motions-and-required-fees\">EOIR tariff page<\/a> The fee for a motion to reopen before an immigration judge is set at 1,095 pesos (1,095 dollars). It drops to 950 pesos (1,095 dollars) if based solely on a relief request, which does not require a fee. The fee does not apply to motions for failure to notify or for custody. The page does not address exceptional circumstances, so it is advisable to confirm with EOIR whether a fee applies in that case.<\/p>\n<p>As of February 23, 2026, EOIR no longer accepts checks or money orders. Payments are made online through the EOIR Payment Portal, as stated on that same page, updated on October 5, 2026.<\/p>\n<h2>How it is presented<\/h2>\n<p>The Practice Manual indicates that the motion should have a cover sheet titled \u00abMOTION TO REOPEN AN IN ABSENTIA ORDER.\u00bb If the person has a representative or received assistance with the documents, Form EOIR-28 or EOIR-61 should be included. Form EOIR-33\/IC should also be filed so the court has the current address. Responses to the motion are due ten days after the court receives it, unless the judge sets a different deadline.<\/p>\n<h2>The issue of notifications<\/h2>\n<p>The law states that a notification sent to the most recent address the person provided to the government is sufficient. Someone who moved and didn&#039;t update their address may have difficulty claiming they didn&#039;t receive the notice. That&#039;s one reason to always register changes of address with the court.<\/p>\n<p>The law also provides for an additional consequence. If the person received oral notice, in a language they understand, of the time, place, and consequences of failing to appear, they become ineligible for 10 years after the final order for certain reliefs, such as cancellation of removal, voluntary departure, and adjustment of status. The exception is if the absence is due to exceptional circumstances.<\/p>\n<h2>How to check the status of the case<\/h2>\n<p>He <a href=\"https:\/\/acis.eoir.justice.gov\/en\/\">EOIR automated case information system<\/a> It allows you to check a case using the A number and nationality.
