Immigration Appeals & Motions

Receiving a denial notice from U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) can be a devastating moment. It often feels like the end of a long journey, bringing anxiety and uncertainty about your future in the United States. However, a denial does not necessarily mean your case is over. At Hussain, Bendersky & Liston LLC, we provide the legal advocacy you need to challenge unfair decisions and fight for your right to remain in this country.

The appeals process requires an understanding of complex immigration laws and strict procedural rules. Our experienced team is dedicated to turning setbacks into opportunities, providing you with a strategic path forward during this critical time.

Understanding the Appeals Process

An immigration appeal is a request to a higher authority to review a negative decision made on your case. This process is not a “do-over” of your initial application; rather, it is a legal argument that the decision was based on an incorrect application of law or a misunderstanding of the facts.

Common Reasons for Denials:

• Ineligibility: The officer determined you did not meet the specific requirements for the benefit sought.
• Lack of Evidence: The application did not include sufficient documentation to prove your case.
• Procedural Errors: Missed deadlines, incorrect fees, or failure to respond to a Request for Evidence (RFE).
• Adverse History: Issues related to past criminal history or previous immigration violations.

The Importance of Immediate Action

Time is of the essence when facing a denial. Most appeals or motions to reopen must be filed within 30 days of the decision. Missing this strict deadline can result in the decision becoming final, potentially leading to the loss of your legal status. It is crucial to consult with an attorney immediately upon receiving a denial notice to preserve your rights.

How We Can Help You Fight Back

The appeals process is legally technical and demands a sophisticated strategy. At Hussain, Bendersky & Liston LLC, we do not just fill out forms; we build compelling legal arguments tailored to your specific situation.

Our Approach to Appeals:

• Comprehensive Case Review: We meticulously analyze your denial notice and original application to identify the specific legal errors or factual mistakes made by the adjudicating officer.
• Strategic Filing: Depending on the circumstances, we will determine whether to file a Motion to Reopen (based on new facts), a Motion to Reconsider (based on legal error), or a formal Appeal to the Administrative Appeals Office (AAO) or Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA).
• Federal Litigation: In cases of unreasonable delays or egregious legal errors, one has the option of taking the case to federal court through a writ of mandamus or other litigation strategies.
