If you disagree with the decision of an immigration court judge about your
case or about granting you bond, you have the right to appeal that decision
to the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA). The BIA reviews cases from
immigration courts around the country. At the end of your immigration
court hearing, you must tell the judge that you want to appeal his or
her decision. You then will have 30 days to file a Notice of Appeal with
the BIA in order to start the appeals process. After the BIA reviews your
case, it has the option of affirming, reversing, or remanding the immigration
court’s decision. If you disagree with the BIA’s decision,
then you must file a petition for review with the relevant U.S. Circuit
Court of Appeals. Keep in mind, however, that there are some situations
in which Circuit Courts do not have jurisdiction over a BIA decision,
such as in the case of an alien who is removable for committing certain
criminal offenses. Although you can appeal a decision of a Circuit Court
of Appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court, it is a rare situation in which the
high court agrees to hear an appeal. As a result, in the vast majority
of situations, your appeal to the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals is your
last chance to appeal the decision of the immigration judge. Given the
