The Appeals Process
If you’ve received a denial notice, it will include information about whether you are able to appeal the decision, and where to file your appeal. Immigration appeals will go through either the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA), the USCIS Administrative Appeals Office (AAO), or the Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR), depending on which on has jurisdiction over your type of immigration case. Most appeals must be filed within 30 days after the immigration judge denies your petition, but there are some cases where the deadline will be sooner, so be sure to check your denial notice and contact a qualified immigration attorney.
Along with helping you to complete and file the required forms, our dedicated immigration attorneys will also prepare a written legal brief that clearly presents your case, including all relevant facts and arguments to support a reconsideration of your case. Once the board reviews your appeal, they will issue a decision that could either dismiss your appeal or send the case back to the immigration judge for further review. While your appeal is pending, you are permitted to remain in the U.S. as you await a decision.
Navigating this process can be challenging, but our team is well-versed in the appeals process and can guide you through it with confidence.
What If My Appeal is Denied?
In certain circumstances, you may have the option to pursue your case, even if the Board of Immigration Appeals or Administrative Appeals Office denies your appeal. If you or a loved one has had an appeal denied by a United States immigration authority, then the best way forward is to get the assistance of a knowledgeable immigration attorney. Our immigration law experts can thoroughly review the details of your situation, and determine what is the best path forward. It’s always a challenge to face a denial, but you don’t have to deal with this alone.
