BOARD OF IMMIGRATION APPEALS (BIA)

BIA Appeals

Understanding the BIA Appeals Process

The Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) is the highest administrative body for interpreting and applying U.S. immigration laws. When an immigration judge makes an unfavorable decision in your case, you have the right to appeal that decision to the BIA.

The Appeals Timeline

Appeals to the BIA must be filed within 30 days of the immigration judge's decision. This deadline is strict, and missing it can result in losing your right to appeal. Our attorneys ensure all appeals are filed promptly and properly to protect your rights.

The BIA Review Process

The BIA conducts a "paper review" of immigration judge decisions, meaning they review the written record and briefs submitted by attorneys. In rare cases, they may grant oral arguments. Our attorneys prepare comprehensive, persuasive briefs that clearly articulate the legal errors in the immigration judge's decision and why it should be overturned.

YOU MIGHT BE ELIGIBLE IF...

  • You have been ordered removed (deported) by an immigration judge.
  • You have been denied relief from removal, such as asylum, withholding of removal, or protection under the Convention Against Torture (CAT).
  • Your applications for adjustment of status, cancellation of removal, waivers, or other benefits have been denied by an immigration judge.
  • You want to appeal an immigration judge's decision regarding bond eligibility or bond amounts.

HOW WE CAN HELP YOU

Our immigration attorneys will:

  • review your case to identify grounds for an appeal.
  • determine the appropriate appeal avenue with the BIA.
  • guide you step-by-step through the appeals process.
  • ensure that your appeal is properly prepared, filed, and presented to maximize your chance of success.
