Immigration Appeals Attorneys In Tampa, Florida

Has An Immigration Judge Denied Your Petition?

If your immigration petition has been denied, remember, it's not the end. Diaz Shafer Immigration, a renowned immigration law firm based in Tampa, Florida, is ready to help you send your appeal to the Board of Immigration Appeals. This Board possesses the power to reassess – and even overturn – judgments passed by the Immigration Court and the Department of Homeland Security.  So, don't lose hope just yet.


It's important to understand that a denied petition does not necessarily mean your case is over. There are still options available to you, and seeking the help of experienced immigration attorneys can greatly improve your chances of success.


The Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) is an administrative appellate body within the Department of Justice that reviews decisions made by the USCIS and Immigration Court. This means they have the authority to review your case and potentially reverse a decision that was made against you.


Please be aware, there are stringent deadlines, so it's crucial to commence your appeal as soon as possible. Begin your journey towards a successful appeal with Diaz Shafer Immigration today.

What Will Happen in the Appeals Process?

Diaz Shafer Immigration needs to receive your appeal within 30 days after the immigration judge denied your petition. We will meticulously prepare a comprehensive legal brief to put forward your case, bringing to light all supporting facts and arguments. Once we have your brief and the immigration judge’s brief at their disposal, we will undertake a thorough review and issue a decision. This decision could either dismiss your appeal or redirect the matter to the immigration judge for additional action. Throughout your appeal, the U.S. government permits you to reside in the U.S. as you await a decision. Navigating this process on your own can be daunting - but you don't have to. With a wealth of experience behind us, Diaz Shafer Immigration has successfully navigated even the most intricate cases. Let us guide you through the appeals process, starting today.

What If the Board of Immigration Appeals Denies My Appeal?

Even when the BIA negates your appeal, there exist situations that allow you to present your case to a U.S. Federal Court of Appeals. Yet again, it is necessary for you to file a document known as a Petition for Review within 30 days from the board’s disapproval of your appeal. Both your lawyer and the Department of Homeland Security will again put forward written briefs.  After that, the Court will decide on whether or not to grant your request for review.


In some cases, the BIA may agree with your appeal and overturn the decision of the immigration judge. However, if they still deny your appeal, you have the right to file a Petition for Review with a U.S. Federal Court of Appeals within 30 days from their decision.


It is important to note that filing a Petition for Review does not guarantee that your case will be reviewed by the court. The court has discretion in deciding which cases to review and may decline to hear your case. Therefore, it is crucial to make sure all necessary documents are properly submitted and any deadlines are met in order to increase your chances of having your case heard.


In select cases, your lawyer might get the chance to stand for your case in person before a panel of three judges. If the BIA denied your appeal, schedule an appointment with Diaz Shafer Immigration, your trusted immigration attorneys in Florida, to represent you during the appeals process.
