Appeals

If a judge has rejected your immigration petition, it doesn’t have to be the final obstacle. Stay optimistic. Our skilled immigration appeals attorneys are here to assist you in appealing to the Board of Immigration Appeals. This board is empowered to reevaluate – and potentially overturn – rulings made by the Immigration Court and the Department of Homeland Security. However, there are stringent deadlines, so it’s crucial to file your appeal promptly. Initiate the appeal process now.

The Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) must receive your appeal within 30 days of the immigration judge denying your petition. Your attorney will craft a thorough legal brief to eloquently present your case, incorporating all relevant facts and arguments that bolster your stance. Upon receiving both your attorney’s and the immigration judge’s briefs, the board will scrutinize them before issuing a decision. This decision may either dismiss your appeal or remand the case to the immigration judge for further steps. Throughout the appeal process, you are permitted to remain in the U.S. as you await a verdict. Avoid navigating this journey solo. Our seasoned immigration appeals attorneys possess extensive experience in advocating for clients in even the most intricate cases. Commence your appeals process today.

Should your appeal be denied by the BIA, there are circumstances that may allow you to present your case before a U.S. Federal Court of Appeals. You will need to file a Petition for Review within 30 days of the board’s decision. Your legal representative and the Department of Homeland Security will once more provide written arguments. In specific instances, your attorney may have the opportunity to present your case orally before a panel of three judges. If your appeal was turned down by the BIA, schedule a consultation with our skilled immigration attorneys to guide you through the appeals procedure.
