Motions & Appeals
If an immigration application is denied, the outcome can be devastating. However, a denial is not always the end of the road. You may have the legal right to challenge the decision through motions or appeals. A motion asks the immigration court or agency to reconsider or reopen your case based on new evidence or legal errors. Conversely, an appeal is a formal request to a higher authority, such as the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) or a federal court, to review and overturn an incorrect decision. If you have received an unfavorable ruling, consulting with an experienced Los Angeles immigration appeal lawyer is your most critical next step.
