Immigration Appeals Attorney Serving Clients Nationwide

A denial from USCIS, an immigration judge, or the Board of Immigration Appeals can feel devastating. But in many cases, it is not the end of the road. It is the moment where careful legal strategy, experience, and timing matter most.

At Haim Vasquez Legal Group, we help individuals and families challenge unfavorable immigration decisions through the appeals process. Whether your case involves a denied green card, visa petition, asylum application, or removal order, we act quickly and strategically to protect your rights and pursue every available legal option.

Appeals are complex, time-sensitive, and unforgiving of mistakes. One missed deadline can permanently close the door. You do not have to face this process alone.

About Immigration Appeals

An immigration appeal is a legal challenge to a decision made by USCIS, an immigration judge, or another immigration authority. Appeals focus on legal errors, improper application of the law, or procedural mistakes that affected the outcome of your case.

Immigration appeals are not reapplications. They require detailed legal analysis, strong written arguments, and strict compliance with filing deadlines. In many cases, you may only have 30 days or less to act.

Our role is to carefully review the denial or decision, identify appealable issues, explain your options honestly, and pursue the strongest legal strategy available—whether through an administrative appeal, a motion to reopen or reconsider, or federal court review.

Swift, Strategic Action When It Matters Most

Timing is critical in immigration appeals. We move quickly and decisively to preserve your rights and protect your future. We assist with:

Reviewing your complete immigration record
Identifying legal errors or misinterpretations
Evaluating whether an appeal, motion, or new strategy is best
Preparing detailed legal arguments and supporting evidence
Filing all notices and briefs on time
Representing you through every stage of the appellate process

Every appeal requires a tailored approach. We do not use templates or shortcuts. We build strategies based on your specific facts, history, and goals.

Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA)

The Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) is the highest administrative body responsible for interpreting and applying U.S. immigration law. If an immigration judge has denied your case, the BIA may be the next step. We handle BIA appeals involving:

Our representation includes:

BIA appeals are entirely document-driven. Strong legal writing and precise issue framing are essential. We approach every case with careful preparation and attention to detail.

Administrative Appeals Office (AAO)

The Administrative Appeals Office (AAO) reviews certain USCIS decisions, particularly in complex or discretionary matters. We assist with AAO appeals and motions involving:

We help clients file:

USCIS denials often contain factual mistakes, misapplied legal standards, or procedural errors. We carefully analyze the decision and present evidence-backed arguments aimed at reversal or approval.

Federal Circuit Court Appeals

In some cases, the final path for relief is through the Federal Courts of Appeals, including the Fifth Circuit. We represent clients in federal court for:

Federal appeals require advanced legal advocacy, strict procedural compliance, and persuasive written and oral arguments. Our team is experienced in navigating the federal appellate process and advocating for clients when the stakes are highest.

Who Should Speak With an Immigration Appeals Attorney?

You should seek immediate legal guidance if you:

Received a denial from USCIS

Appeals are not automatic. We review your case honestly to determine whether an appeal is viable, advisable, and in your best interest.

Common Questions About Immigration Appeals

Can I appeal a denied immigration case?

In many situations, yes. Whether a case can be appealed depends on who issued the decision, the type of case, and the reason for the denial. Some decisions can be appealed to the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA), the Administrative Appeals Office (AAO), or federal court, while others may require a motion to reopen or reconsider. We review the decision carefully to determine the best legal path forward.

How long do I have to file an immigration appeal?

Appeal deadlines are very strict. In most cases, you have 30 days or less from the date of the decision to file an appeal or motion. Missing a deadline can permanently end your ability to challenge the decision. It is important to speak with an immigration appeals attorney as soon as possible.

Is an immigration appeal the same as reapplying?

No. An appeal challenges legal or procedural errors in the original decision, while reapplying starts a new case. Appeals focus on whether the law was applied correctly, not on submitting the same application again. We help determine whether an appeal, a motion, or a new filing is the strongest option for your situation.

Can I stay in the United States while my appeal is pending?

It depends on the type of case and where the appeal is filed. Some appeals may automatically pause removal, while others require a separate request for a stay of removal. Each case is different. We evaluate your status and take appropriate steps to protect you while the appeal is pending.

Move Forward With Confidence

A denial does not define your future. With the right legal strategy, many decisions can be challenged and overturned.
