Federal Courts of Appeal

Our firm also handles appeals from the Board of Immigration Appeals’ decisions in the federal appellate courts. If the Board of Immigration denies a case, an individual can file a Petition for Review with the federal appellate court having jurisdiction over the person’s removal case. This must be done within 30 days of the Board’s decision. In most cases, a federal appellate court can review the decision of the Board of Immigration Appeals. We may also be able to apply for a stay of removal and voluntary departure while the Petition for Review is pending.

If the Board of Immigration Appeals has denied your case, you should immediately contact our office to review your case to determine whether you should file a Petition for Review with the federal appellate court having jurisdiction over the case. There have been many recent favorable decisions from federal appellate courts providing hope even after the Board denies an appeal. We have also been able to negotiate favorable resolutions in some cases after filing a Petition for Review. Our office represents clients in federal appellate courts throughout the United States.
