Submitting an immigration application is an accomplishment on your journey to achieve the American Dream. Unfortunately, there is also the chance that your visa application may be denied. A denial notice from immigration court that your green card, adjustment of status or other immigration petition is denied can be very frustrating, and cause anxiety about your future, but you do have options to get your immigration petition approved.
There can be many reasons that someone receives a denial notice from immigration court:
• Your application may be incomplete and missing evidence, documents, fees and other required information.
• USCIS may have doubts about your qualifications and eligibility for your application based on your immigration interview.
• You may have missed critical deadlines.
• As a matter of law, you may not be entitled to the benefit you applied for.
If you appeal your denial and you submit the additional required information, you are not guaranteed that USCIS will accept your application.
Typically, USCIS gives you an opportunity to respond to a denial notice. You should take your denial notice to an experienced immigration attorney, along with any additional documents, applications and evidence for your immigration petitions. This is not the end of your immigration case, and a skilled immigration attorney can help you submit the requested information and help you get the best possible outcome for your case.
Depending on your situation, some actions your immigration attorney may take include:
• file a Motion to Reopen or Reconsider to present new facts or to demonstrate to USCIS that certain facts were overlooked
• file a Service Motion to Reopen the case due to an error by USCIS
• file an appeal to the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA)
• refile your application
• sue USCIS in federal court
