The major backlog of immigration cases and other unreasonable delays has forced many people who are applying for visas and dealing with immigration matters to go all the way to federal court to litigate their disputes and obtain a resolution. However, litigation in federal court is significantly different from litigation in immigration courts, which is why you need to secure the service of a reliable immigration appeals and federal litigation lawyer to guide you and make sure your best interests are protected.

Understanding the Immigration Appeals Process

The immigration appeals process is a critical pathway for individuals seeking to challenge unfavorable decisions made by immigration agencies. This process typically begins when a petitioner receives a denial of their application for visas, green cards, or asylum. After receiving a notice of denial, the affected party has the right to file an appeal, often within a strict timeline, usually 30 days from the date of the decision. It is essential to act quickly and prepare a comprehensive argument to support the appeal.

Once the appeal is filed, it is reviewed by an immigration appellate body, such as the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) or the relevant Circuit Courts. During this review, the appellate authority examines the documents submitted, including any additional evidence or legal arguments put forth by the appellant. The process may involve oral arguments or hearings where the appellant may need to present their case in detail. Ultimately, the appellate body will issue a decision that reaffirms, reverses, or remands the original decision for further review or reconsideration. Navigating this process can be complex, which is why enlisting the help of experienced immigration appeal attorneys can substantially improve the likelihood of a favorable outcome.
