Appellate Advocacy Before the Board of Immigration Appeals
When an immigration judge issues an unfavorable decision, you have the right to appeal to the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA). SSF Law Firm provides skilled appellate advocacy to challenge adverse decisions and protect your right to remain in the United States.
An appeal to the BIA must be filed within 30 days of the immigration judge’s decision. The appeal involves filing a Notice of Appeal and a detailed written brief arguing that the immigration judge made legal or factual errors. Our attorneys are skilled brief writers who know how to frame legal arguments persuasively.
If the BIA affirms the immigration judge’s decision, you may be able to petition a federal circuit court of appeals for review. Our attorneys handle petitions for review in the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals, which covers Florida, Georgia, and Alabama. We also seek emergency stays of removal to prevent deportation while the appeal is pending.
