Form i-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status

For hearings before the Immigration Court:

  The Immigration Court is committed to addressing the needs of 

individuals with disabilities and/or impairments.  If your case is pending before the Immigration Court, you should notify 

the court of any such need before your first hearing with an immigration judge.  The Immigration Court considers all 

requests to address such needs on a case-by-case basis.

Interpreters are provided at government expense to individuals whose command of the English language is inadequate to 

fully understand and participate in removal proceedings.  In general, the Immigration Court endeavors to accommodate 

the language needs of all respondents and witnesses.  The Immigration Court will arrange for an interpreter both during 

the individual calendar hearing and, if necessary, the master calendar hearing.
