ICE Check-In Appointments: What You Need to Know
What is an ICE check-in?
If you entered the U.S. and were released from immigration custody, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) may require you to attend regular check-in appointments. These are meetings where you report to an ICE officer to provide updates on your case and review your status in the country.
ICE check-ins are mandatory unless you have received official confirmation of a cancellation or reschedule.
If you can’t attend or don’t feel comfortable going, you have the option to reschedule your appointment online. We explain how to do it in the section below.
