In far too many cases, an immigration judge will deny your petition for
asylum. Fortunately, you are not without recourse if you receive a denial.
There are a number of different actions that you can take in order to
continue your quest for asylum. First, you can ask the immigration court
to re-open your asylum case by hearing your case again and receiving additional
evidence. You must have new or different evidence available to present
to the court in order to have your case reopened. If the court agrees
to reopen your case, it will schedule your petition for another hearing.
Note: Motions to reopen are time sensitive and are very difficult to get
approved – so fast and good legal help is essential! You also have
the option of appealing the immigration judge’s decision to the
Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA). If you are going to appeal, you must
pay the required fee and file your appeal within 30 days of the court’s
decision. You will have to provide a detailed explanation about what was
wrong with the judge’s decision, using immigration laws to support
your argument. The BIA will review your appeal, which will take between
six months and one year. The BIA can decide to deny your appeal, reverse
the immigration judge’s decision, or send your case back to the
judge with directions about how to handle it. If the BIA denies your claim,
you have the right to further appeal its decision to the U.S. Circuit
Court of Appeals. There are strict deadlines and requirements for filing
this kind of appeal, so it is best to consult an immigration attorney
for advice. The deportation defense lawyers of
