Areas of Practice


Appeals/ Motions to the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) U.S. Circuit Courts of Appeal

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.

Clients sometimes panic when they receive a negative decision thinking there is nothing to be done; however, by appealing the negative decision, the fight has only just begun.

Attorney Robert Urenda has spent over a decade tirelessly fighting and advocating for you in immigration appeals before the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA), the U.S. Circuit Courts of Appeal, and the Supreme Court of the United States.

His written advocacy skills have led to many successful outcomes on appeal such as obtaining termination of proceedings and overturning Immigration Judge and BIA denials.
