DOJ 60-Day Request for Comments on Revision of Forms EOIR-60 and EOIR-61

The Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR), Department of Justice (DOJ), issued a request for comments on the extension and revision of Forms EOIR-60, Notice of Entry of Limited Appearance for Document Assistance Before the Board of Immigration Appeals, and EOIR-61, Notice of Entry of Limited Appearance for Document Assistance Before the Immigration Court. These forms allow an attorney or representative to notify the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) or the Immigration Court that they are entering a limited appearance to assist a pro se respondent with a legal filing or other document to be filed with EOIR.

Revisions include updates to remove the mail-only filing restrictions and inform the users that they may review the EOIR Policy Manual for filing guidance; an option in the Proof of Service section for individuals to indicate that they are serving the opposing party electronically through ECAS; a citation correction in the Privacy Act notice; a revision to inform respondents that limited case information is also available online in English or Spanish through the EOIR Automated Case Information System; and a new sentence added to the second page of the Form EOIR-60 to clarify and emphasize that limited appearances for document assistance are not available in Department of Homeland (DHS) proceedings that the Board has jurisdiction over.

Comments are due 8/4/25. (90 FR 23568, 6/3/25)
