EOIR proposes electronic Recognition and Accreditation Program application and records system

  1. Original Date Announced

    April 17, 2025

    The Executive Office for Immigration Review, Office of Policy (EOIR OP) is proposing a new "full-scope computer-based program that will fully automate the [Recognition and Accreditation] Program application process." The system "will allow applicants and organizations to fully submit all application for recognition and accreditation electronically" and internally shift "all processing of the R&A Program applications to the automated system." The new system will be available at getaccredited.eoir.justice.gov, but applicants may still submit via "regular mail or email to the R&A Program."

    EOIR's Recognition and Accreditation Program "aims to increase the availability of competent legal immigration representation for low-income and indigent [noncitizens] by recognizing non-profit, federally tax-exempt organizations and accrediting their non-attorney representatives" to provide representation before EOIR and DHS.

    Public comments on the proposed change are due by May 19, 2025.
