Waivers & Motions to Reopen

Hardship Waivers

Many grounds of inadmissibility can be waived if the applicant demonstrates extreme hardship to a qualifying U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident relative. Our attorneys prepare comprehensive waiver applications documenting the hardship that would result from the applicant’s denial or removal.

Motions to Reopen and Reconsider

A motion to reopen asks the immigration court or BIA to reopen a previously closed case based on new facts or evidence. A motion to reconsider asks the court to reconsider its decision based on legal error. Our attorneys file these motions strategically to maximize the chances of a favorable outcome.
