EXECUTIVE OFFICE FOR IMMIGRATION REVIEW
ANNOUNCES ENHANCED WEB SITE

Falls Church, VA -- The Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR) announced today that it has reconstructed and enhanced its Web site to provide easier access for its customers. The new page contains links to EOIR’s forms, a nationwide listing of Immigration Courts, Immigration Court Home Pages (sibling pages), and links to listings of job opportunities. The new page also provides easier access to the Immigration Court Local Rules and Board of Immigration Appeals precedent decisions. While not all of the Immigration Court sibling pages are now available, EOIR continues to work on this initiative to have all of them available in the near future.

Another feature anticipated in. the next few weeks is the addition of a Virtual Law Library to EOIR's Web site which will contain links to a variety of on-line reference materials and other Internet sites related to immigration law and procedures.

EOIR updated and expanded its Internet site in order to provide better customer service. While the previous format was functional, the new, modern page is more visually appealing and provides the user with an easier format to navigate through the information provided. EOIR's Web site has in-depth, information about EOIR and its functions to assist the public in becoming better informed about the agency's mission, goals, and accomplishments. The site can be found at:  http://www.usdoj.gov/eoir.
