Appeals to the Board of Immigration Appeals

The United States Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) is the highest administrative body in the U.S. which deals with immigration cases. The BIA consists of 15 board members who administer and apply immigration laws in the United States and is a part of the Executive Office for Immigration Review, a part of the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ).

When an immigration case is initially heard by an Immigration and a ruling is made, you may be entitled to file an appeal with the Board of Immigration Appeals. In doing so, you are essentially requesting a higher court to review the original decision the Immigration Judge or DHS made. The purpose is for the BIA to determine whether the lower court made a mistake and therefore whether the decision can be altered or overturned. Immigration appeals involve very specific, complex legal issues. At this time, there are approximately 40 different types of petitions which may be appealed.   A successful appeal is dependent on the legal expertise of a knowledgeable immigration attorney.
