Notice to Appear · First Master Calendar Hearing

Got a Notice to Appear? Protect your court date before you find a lawyer.

Answer a few quick questions and upload your notice. If your situation is straightforward, an attorney-reviewed motion — ready to file — lands in your inbox within 24 hours. If it's not, we'll say so plainly and point you to a real consultation instead.

This tool covers procedural filings only — a motion to continue your hearing, a motion to change venue, or help understanding your first Master Calendar Hearing. It is not a substitute for representation if you're seeking asylum or another form of relief.

01

Answer 5 quick questions

Tell us your hearing date, whether you've moved, and whether you're seeking any relief. Upload your Notice to Appear — a photo or PDF works.

02

We route you honestly

Straightforward procedural cases get a flat-fee motion. Anything involving asylum, a prior case, or detention gets routed to a paid consultation instead — no upselling past what's safe.

03

Attorney-reviewed draft, within 24 hours

Your motion is drafted, then checked and approved by a licensed attorney before it's sent to you — with plain-English filing instructions.

    What you're actually getting

    No vague promises — here's exactly what makes this different from hiring by the hour or filling out a free template alone.

    $

    One flat price, set before you pay

    $199–$449 depending on what you need — not an hourly clock that runs while a document gets drafted. You know the total before you check out, and it doesn't change afterward.

    Two guarantees, not one

    A 24-hour delivery target, and a full refund if your case turns out to need more than this tier covers. Most one-off document services offer neither.

    Flat fees. No surprise billing.

    Every DIY-tier document is drafted using your answers and your notice, then reviewed and approved by a licensed New York attorney before you receive it. A single motion like this often runs $650 or more as part of a traditional firm's hourly billing — here it's one flat price, no hourly clock. See a sample document →

    Important: filing a motion to continue or change venue does not cancel your hearing. You must still appear at your currently scheduled hearing — in person or by the method the court has authorized — until and unless a judge grants the motion. We will make this unmissable at every step of checkout.

    Frequently asked questions

    No. A motion to continue or change venue only takes effect once a judge grants it. Until then, you're required to appear at your currently scheduled hearing. We'll remind you of this clearly throughout the process.

    This service covers procedural filings only — asking the court for more time or a different location. It is not advice about asylum, cancellation of removal, or any other form of relief. If your quiz answers suggest you may need that kind of help, we'll route you to a paid consultation instead.

    Judges have discretion to grant or deny these motions, and no service can guarantee an outcome. If denied, your original hearing date stands, and your filing instructions explain what to expect if that happens.

    Not always, for a first Master Calendar Hearing with no relief application pending. If you're seeking asylum, a green card, cancellation of removal, or anything similar, you should have representation — our quiz is built to catch that and route you to a consultation rather than a flat-fee document.

    Yes. Federal regulations require that attorney assistance with a document like this be disclosed to the immigration court through a form called a Notice of Entry of Limited Appearance for Document Assistance (Form EOIR-61), filed together with your motion. This doesn't make the attorney your representative or create any ongoing obligation — you remain the person responsible for your case — but it does mean the assistance is properly disclosed, exactly as the law requires.

    Yes — EOIR and several nonprofits publish free sample motions and pro se guides, and if you're comfortable filling in a template yourself, that's a legitimate option worth knowing about. What you get here that a free template doesn't provide: a document built around the specific facts and dates in your notice, reviewed line-by-line by a licensed New York attorney, and properly disclosed to the court on a Form EOIR-61 exactly as federal regulation requires — rather than a generic fill-in-the-blank form you complete and file entirely on your own.

    Detained cases move on compressed timelines and carry higher stakes, so this service routes them directly to a consultation rather than the flat-fee document tier.
