Types of Immigration Appeals If your application for immigration is denied, we can appeal the decision using one of the following methods: Filing an appeal with the Administrative Appeals Office (AAO) to reopen or reconsider the application. To file this type of appeal, we will need to provide new information to support the petition within 30 days of the original denial. Due to this short timeline, contacting us immediately after receiving the denial notice is imperative. Filing an appeal with the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS). This appeal can result in a reversal of the decision, an affirmation of the original decision, or a return of the case to the original immigration office for review. Types of Waivers Unfortunately, traditional immigration pathways contain several legal barriers. If you have been disqualified for a visa or green card, you may be able to continue your pursuit by applying for waivers. Here are a few types of immigration waivers: Unlawful presence hardship waiver Provisional unlawful presence waiver Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) Prosecutorial discretion Waiver of certain criminal offenses Obtaining a green card while remaining in the United States The process of appealing for an immigration waiver starts with determining whether you qualify for relief.
