The Executive Office for Immigration Review ("EOIR") maintains a Policy Manual, which contains a practice manual for the immigration courts, https://www.justice.gov/eoir/eoir-policy-manual/part-ii-ocij-practice-manual, and a practice manual for the Board of Immigration Appeals ("BIA"), https://www.justice.gov/eoir/eoir-policy-manual/iii ("the Practice Manuals"). The Practice Manuals provide uniform standards for practice before the immigration court and BIA.
EOIR is currently conducting a comprehensive review of the Practice Manuals, and welcomes all suggestions or concerns from the public to inform this review. In particular, EOIR is considering revisions to enhance procedural consistency across all immigration courts and courtrooms. Members of the public may submit feedback at the public forum or in writing to the email address or mailing address outlined above. The purpose of the above deadline for written feedback is to give the public the opportunity to contribute to this comprehensive review, but EOIR will continue to update the Practice Manuals as appropriate. Following the closing date for public comments on this comprehensive review, EOIR encourages interested parties to continue to submit comments about the Practice Manuals as they are "living documents," and the ability for the public to submit comments is ongoing.

Assistant Director, Office of Policy, Executive Office for Immigration Review.
