“Immigration courts in New York City are open once again for the first time since the start of the pandemic.

During the past year, some remote hearings took place, but only for people who were in detention. Now, non-detained people can have their day in immigration court at Broadway, Varick or Federal Plaza.

“My wife is inside and we’re waiting for the good news,” said Ismail Hossein, a Bangladeshi American who was standing outside Federal Plaza immigration court with his young daughter. “We applied for that last June, now it’s July so it’s been more than a year.””
