EOIR's Resurrected Policy Manual Omits Service through ECAS

  1. Original Date Announced

    January 28, 2025

    On January 28, 2025, EOIR reinstated is its Policy Manual from the first Trump term. Chapter 3.2(c) of the manual requires service on the opposing to be made "by hand-delivery, by U.S. Postal Service, or by commercial courier." This rule applies to all documents that require service, which would include electronically filed EOIR-28 forms. On its face, the resurrected manual does not permit filings made via the agency's online filing system, the EOIR Courts & Appeals System. It is not clear whether this change is intentional or the result of the hasty re-posting of the old manual.
