3: Electronic Filing
Implement electronic filing to achieve excellence in management,administration, and customer service. Other Information:
In this era of rapid technological development, EOIR’s adjudicators and other staff increasingly rely on a wide range of technologies
to do their work. Integrating constantly evolving technologies to enhance EOIR’s adjudicative and administrative functions
will be an ongoing challenge. To meet this challenge, EOIR is engaged in a multi-year, multi-phased project, termed eWorld,
to make the transition from paper to electronic documents for its official records. As eWorld implementation progresses, other
government agencies, attorneys, parties to immigration cases, and interested persons will be able, as authorized, to submit
materials electronically to EOIR’s adjudication components. Upon full implementation, most filings will be processed in electronic
form. EOIR adjudicators and staff will use the electronic records in their work. Progress toward achievement of this goal
will lead to success in EOIR’s primary mission-oriented goal of adjudicating cases in a timely and fair manner.
