If you have received a negative decision on your case in immigration court, you have the option to appeal the decision to the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) and must do so within 30 days of the immigration judge’s negative decision. If you have received a negative decision on your case at the BIA, you have the option to file a Petition for Review with the appropriate Circuit Court of Appeal and also must do so within 30 days of the BIA’s negative decision.

If more than 30 days have passed and no appeal was taken, you may be eligible to continue the fight by filing a motion to reopen your case with the immigration court or the BIA. Denials of motions to reopen may also be appealed to a higher court.
