APPEALS
What Does it Mean to Appeal an Immigration Decision?
To appeal an immigration decision means to request a review of a decision made by an immigration authority, such as an immigration judge, USCIS officer, or Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA). When a person's immigration application or petition is denied or when they receive an unfavorable ruling in immigration court, they may have the option to appeal the decision to seek a review and potentially reverse the outcome.


Why Should I Appeal an Immigration Decision?
Appealing an immigration decision provides individuals with an opportunity to challenge unfavorable rulings and seek a fair resolution to their immigration case.
​Overall, appealing an immigration decision provides a mechanism for addressing errors, presenting additional evidence, protecting your rights, seeking relief, and ensuring fair and consistent application of immigration laws.
The Appeal Process
01
Review the Decision
​
Carefully review the decision issued by the immigration judge or USCIS officer to understand the grounds for appeal and the deadline for filing.
02
Complete the Notice of Appeal Form
​
Obtain and complete the appropriate form for filing an appeal with the BIA. The form typically includes information about the case, the reasons for the appeal, and any supporting documentation. The BIA Form EOIR-26 is commonly used for appeals.
03
Gather Supporting Documents
​
Gather any supporting documents or evidence that you intend to submit with your appeal. This could include transcripts of court hearings, legal briefs, affidavits, or other relevant materials.
Pre-Submission

Prepare Legal Arguments

Develop strong legal arguments to support your appeal, addressing any errors of fact or law in the original decision. You may want to consult with an immigration attorney to help formulate your arguments effectively.
05
Submit the Appeal
​
File the completed Notice of Appeal form and any supporting documents with the BIA according to the specified deadline. Be sure to include any required filing fees or fee waiver requests.
06

​
Upon receipt of your appeal, the BIA will send you an acknowledgment notice confirming that your appeal has been received and providing information about the next steps in the process.
07
Await Review
​
The BIA will review your appeal and consider the legal arguments and evidence presented. This process may take several months or longer, depending on the caseload of the BIA and the complexity of your case.
08

Once the BIA has completed its review, you will receive a written decision on your appeal. The decision will either affirm, reverse, or remand the original decision made by the immigration judge or USCIS officer.
