What is a Motion to Reopen or Reconsider?

A Motion to Reopen or Reconsider is a legal request to the USCIS, the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, to reconsider a deportation case. In cases of removal or deportation, a Motion to Reopen or Reconsider can be filed if new facts or evidence become available or if there was an error in the original decision. If a person in the state of New Hampshire has been ordered to be removed or deported, they may file a Motion to Reopen or Reconsider with their attorney. When filing a Motion to Reopen or Reconsider, the petitioner must provide specific evidence that directly affects the outcome of the original decision. The evidence must be relevant to the case and must include evidence that was not previously presented or considered. In New Hampshire, an attorney with experience in immigration law should be consulted when filing a Motion to Reopen or Reconsider. An experienced attorney can provide guidance and review the evidence to determine if the filing will be successful. The USCIS will review the Motion to Reopen or Reconsider and will make a decision on the case. Depending on the findings, the USCIS can grant the Motion and grant the petitioner the opportunity to remain in the United States, or they can deny the Motion and continue the deportation proceedings. It is important to note that a Motion to Reopen or Reconsider must be filed within a limited amount of time or it will not be considered. Additionally, a motion must be filed for each decision that was made, from the initial decision to the order of removal or deportation.

El demandante debe especificar claramente los argumentos de por qué la decisión anterior es incorrecta o injusta. La moción puede ser presentada por el demandante o su abogado de inmigración. Los tribunales evaluarán la solicitud de moción para reabrir y reconsiderar una decisión de deportación en función de los fundamentos y la evidencia presentados.
