What should I do if my appeal is denied?
If the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) denies your application, you have several options.
First, you can appeal the BIA's decision in federal court. To do this, you must file the first document, called a "petition for review," within 30 days of the BIA's decision. It is also possible to request a stay of deportation pending the outcome of the court's review. It should be noted, however, that such a request may be denied.
Second, it is possible to ask the BIA to reconsider its decision. This process is complex and requires certain skills and knowledge of immigration law. Therefore, it is recommended that you seek the assistance of a qualified attorney in this matter.
Regardless of the option chosen, it is important to be properly prepared and to obtain legal assistance in order to maximize your interests and achieve the desired outcome.
