Many appeal options are available if you have received a negative decision from an immigration judge or the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). You can often appeal a decision through the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) or the Administrative Appeals Office (AAO).
Which path is right for you? In short, it depends. The BIA generally takes on appeals related to immigration judge decisions, such as those in removal proceedings. The AAO handles USCIS decisions, which often include things like visa denials.
You can appeal a wide range of immigration decisions involving the following and more:
Generally, you have 30 days to file an appeal for an unfavorable decision. This is a short period, so it is crucial to seek the help of an attorney so you can begin making an appeal as soon as possible.
The AAO aims to complete the appeals review process within 180 days. An appeal through the BIA could take six months to a year.
