Can I appeal my asylum denial?

Yes, you can appeal an asylum denial in South Carolina. The process of appealing an asylum denial is called filing an appeal with the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA), which is a part of the U.S. Department of Justice. To file an appeal, you must complete and submit Form EOIR-26A, Appeal of Immigration Judge’s Decision, to the Board of Immigration Appeals. This form must be filed within 30 days of the asylum denial, and you must include a statement of reasons why you believe the asylum decision should be reversed. When filing your appeal, you must include any evidence that you have gathered that might support your application for asylum. This could include sworn statements from witnesses, medical records, or other evidence that might be relevant to your case. Additionally, if you decide to hire an immigration attorney, they will also provide evidence and arguments that they believe will strengthen your case. You also may be able to obtain an emergency stay of removal if you are facing imminent deportation due to the asylum denial. This stay would mean that you would remain in the United States until your appeal is heard and a decision is made on your case. Once you have appealed the asylum denial, the BIA will review the evidence and arguments that you provided. The appeal will either be affirmed, meaning upheld, or reversed. If your appeal is reversed, you may be granted a hearing before an immigration judge and allowed to reapply for asylum.

Sí, la Ley de Inmigración permite a los solicitantes de asilo apelar una denegación. Si una persona ha sido denegada asilo por el Servicio de Ciudadanía e Inmigración de los Estados Unidos, tiene el derecho de apelar el fallo. La persona puede presentar una apelación al Tribunal de Apelaciones de Inmigración, un tribunal especializado que se encarga de decidir los casos de inmigración. Si una persona desea apelar su denegación de asilo, debe presentar una apelación dentro de los 30 días posteriores a la fecha de la denegación. Durante el proceso de apelación, la persona presentará evidencia adicional de por qué debería otorgarse el asilo. No hay una oficina regional de inmigración en South Carolina o en el área aledaña, por lo que si una persona desea apelar una denegación, debe presentar su apelación ante el Tribunal de Apelaciones de Inmigración del Circuito Judicial de Apelaciones de los Estados Unidos en el Cuarto Circuito. Esto significa que, si una persona desea apelar su denegación de asilo, debe viajar a Virginia o Maryland para presentar su apelación. La persona recibirá la decisión del tribunal por correo o por teléfono. Los resultados de la apelación pueden resultar en una reversión del fallo de la denegación de asilo del Servicio de Ciudadanía e Inmigración de los Estados Unidos.
