What Is an Immigration Appeal?

An appeal is a request for a higher authority to review the unfavorable decision in your case. When considering an immigration appeal, you will want to consider speaking to an attorney to determine whether you are eligible to file. Our immigration appeals attorney can help you with this process.

The Board of Immigration Appeals seeks to resolve appeals cases as quickly as possible. However, many immigration appeals cases can take anywhere from 8 to 18 months. More complex and unusual legal issues are more likely to prolong an appeals case.

Eligibility Criteria for Filing an Appeal

Eligibility for immigration appeals are determined on a case-by-case basis. You can find information about your appeal rights located on your USCIS denial or the order of the immigration judge.

If the court denied your case, the Court will provide you with the forms for the appeal. Even if your case is not eligible for an appeal, you may still able to file a motion to reopen or reconsider the case.

Where Can I File for an Immigration Appeal?

It is important to reach out to the right court of appeals for your case.

In the U.S., there are three entities where you can file an immigration appeal:

  • The USCIS Administrative Appeals Office (AAO) - Handles denials of visas or petitions to USCIS officers
  • The Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) - Primarily reviews the decisions of immigration judges as well as deportation orders
  • Federal Circuit Court of Appeals - An additional level of appeals if other entities do not rule in your favor, primarily reviewing decisions made by the BIA

Your decision notice will include information about where you must file an appeal. If you mail your appeal, be sure to send it to the correct address and allow enough time for it to arrive by the deadline.

Is There a Deadline to File for an Appeal?

If you wish to file an appeal, you must do so before the deadline, which can differ between cases. Generally, you will have 30 days from the date of the judge’s decision to submit your appeal. The only extension available is three extra days from when your decision is mailed to you.

Required Documents for Your Appeal

Most USCIS appeals are filed using Form I-290B, Notice of an Appeal or Motion, with some exceptions. The USCIS decision will tell you which form you need to file and by when it must be submitted. Immigration court denials and Bond Denials are addressed to the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA).

A brief, although not required, should be submitted on your behalf. Submitting a brief without the help of a qualified attorney could lead to your appeal being dismissed if the explanation is found to be insufficient. A lawyer can also help you gather and file supporting evidence for your appeal.

    "She is amazing!!"
    They say marriage interviews you are to be afraid of - but with Ms. Lamardo, that is out the door. Juliana helped us get all together, talked to us, gave us a preview and we felt way more confident. The day arrived and it was so fun with her, we laughed, we met other attorneys, we even forgot that we had the interview. We went in, and everything went smoothly. It was great! She is amazing!! Of course before all that fun we had some serious time to prepare and get everything we needed and she helped us do that and her name is well known so we were good. I just want to say - Thank you very very much!

    "She Was a Great Support"
    Attorney Lamardo was recommended to us by a friend and at a time of desperation, she was a great support. She assisted my husband out of deportation proceedings...Even though she was assisting us long distance, I do not have any complaints about her diligence. She is responsible and knowledgeable about the process. I have recently reached out to her after a few years without contact and I received a response within 10 minutes after the email was sent. I would definitely recommend her to anyone who may be in need of an immigration attorney!
