What is a Motion to Reopen or Reconsider?
A Motion to Reopen or Reconsider is a legal document that an immigrant can file with the United States immigration court in order to request a review of their previous deportation order. This motion is particularly useful to those individuals who were not notified of their hearing in immigration court or were unaware of their legal rights prior to their hearing. By filing a Motion to Reopen or Reconsider, the immigrant allows the immigration court to review their case and potentially reconsider their decision to deport them. In New Mexico, any immigrant can file a Motion to Reopen or Reconsider with the U.S. Immigration Court if they believe they have new information that could change the outcome of their case. For instance, a Motion to Reopen or Reconsider can be filed if the immigrant provides evidence that their deportation would be a hardship to their family, or if they can provide evidence that they are eligible for a more favorable form of immigration relief. In order to file a Motion to Reopen or Reconsider in New Mexico, the immigrant must file the motion within 30 days of the deportation order being issued. The motion must also include evidence that was unavailable at the time of the deportation hearing. While filing a Motion to Reopen or Reconsider in New Mexico does not guarantee success, it is a vital tool for those wanting to avoid being deported.
THELAW.TV ofrece respuestas en español a todas las preguntas sobre la ley de inmigración.Una moción para reabrir o reconsiderar es una petición presentada por una persona que ha sido objeto de una orden de deportación por el Servicio de Inmigración y Control de Aduanas (ICE) en Nuevo México o en cualquier otro estado de los Estados Unidos. Esta moción solicita al ICE que reconsidere si la persona debe o no deportarse. Esta moción se presenta si se determina que el ICE cometió un error al emitir la orden de deportación o si la situación económica, social, familiar o de salud de una persona ha cambiado considerablemente después del dictamen original. La moción para reabrir o reconsiderar debe presentarse dentro de los 30 días después de que el ICE emite la orden de deportación. No hay un proceso establecido para hacer una moción para reabrir o reconsiderar, por lo que cada caso debe abordarse de manera individual. Si el ICE rechaza la moción para reabrir o reconsiderar, la persona puede recurrir ahora a un definidor judicial de inmigración, quien tiene la última palabra sobre si se acepta o rechaza la moción.
