Sec. 1208.10  Failure to appear at a scheduled hearing before an 

immigration judge; failure to follow requirements for biometrics and other biographical

    Failure to appear for a scheduled immigration hearing without prior 
authorization may result in dismissal of the application and the entry 
of an order of deportation or removal in absentia. Failure to comply 
with processing requirements for biometrics and other biographical 
information within the time allowed will result in dismissal of the 
application, unless the applicant demonstrates that such failure was the 
result of good cause. DHS is responsible for obtaining biometrics and 
other biographical information with respect to any alien in custody.
