Immigration Appeals in Fort Lauderdale
Need to Appeal an Immigration Decision?
Many people living in Fort Lauderdale eventually run into problems with immigration. There is a huge immigrant population in the city and surrounding areas, and many families have lived in the USA for years but have never been able to gain legal status. If you have come under the scrutiny of the USCIS or ICE and are facing deportation or removal, a visa or green card was denied or any other decision that could have a negative impact on your life, contact our Fort Lauderdale immigration appeals lawyer immediately.
Federal Circuit Court Final Review
There are several levels in the appeals process. The final action you can undertake after you have failed to get a positive decision through the appeals process is a final review by the Federal Circuit Court. Although this is a good opportunity to seek justice at last, one problem remains. The deportation branch of ICE could move fast to deport the individual, and there is no automatic stay that allows you to remain in the country while your matter is settled. It is imperative that you have legal representation fighting for you if you hope to remain living and working in the USA, and we can help.
Types of Immigration Appeals
Board of Immigration Appeals
The Board of Immigration Appeals, or BIA, is made up of 15 members. This
Board has the responsibility to ensure that immigration law is applied
correctly and uniformly throughout the country. They have the jurisdiction
to review decisions by immigration judges throughout the country.
Administrative Appeals Office
The Administrative Appeals Office, or AAO, adjudicates appeals such as
denied petitions and applications. The Office has been given the duty
to resolve immigration issues in a timely, efficient manner. If you have
an unfair decision by the USCIS regarding a petition or application for
immigrant benefits, your appeal will be heard by this office.
Board of Alien Labor Certification Appeals
Appeals regarding permanent labor certifications, temporary labor certifications,
specialty workers, temporary foreign workers, agricultural workers and
season, peak load or intermittent workers, as well as longshore work at
U.S. ports, are addressed through the Board of Alien Labor Certification
Appeals, under the authority of the United States Department of Labor.
Federal Review of Immigration Appeals
If your immigration legal matter is not resolved through the various levels
of immigration hearings, you could ask for a federal review of a BIA decision.
Petitions to review BIA decisions must be filed within a strict 30 days
from the time of the decision. If deportation is imminent, filing a petition
should take place immediately.
