The ECAS system and e-filing have been required by EOIR since February 2022. However, some older, pre-2022 paper-based filings are still being phased into the ECAS system, and EOIR continues to operate in a hybrid fashion between paper filings and e-filing through ECAS. Join this roundtable to discuss best practices for e-filing new cases and issues arising from in-person hearings with ECAS, as well as other challenges to e-filing.

This roundtable is presented by AILA's Innovation & Technology Committee.
