What is a Motion to Reopen?

A Motion to Reopen is a legal document issued by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) that requests a change in the outcome of a person’s immigration case. This document is used when a person has been ordered to be deported from Washington, and they are hoping to remain in the United States. The Motion to Reopen asks the court to reconsider its decision and potentially change the deportation order. In order to submit a Motion to Reopen, the person has to prove that they have new evidence or circumstances that justify their request for a new decision. The new evidence or circumstances must have been impossible to present at the time of the original hearing. This is because the motion focuses on what has changed since the initial deportation hearing. The person will need to provide evidence that supports their motion. This could include documents such as medical records, letters of support from family, and proof of employment. Once the motion is submitted, the DHS will review it and decide whether or not to grant the motion. If the DHS agrees to reopen the case, the person’s deportation order may be canceled or their deportation may be delayed, usually while their new evidence is evaluated. If the motion is denied, the person will have to leave the country in accordance with their deportation order.

Una petición de reapertura es una forma de solicitud que se hace ante la Corte de Inmigración para revisar de nuevo un caso. Esto se hace con la esperanza de que el tribunal cambie su decisión con respecto al caso. Esta petición puede ser presentada por un inmigrante, abogado o representante legalmente autorizado. Esta petición puede presentarse una vez que la corte haya tomado una decisión final sobre un caso particular. Esta petición generalmente se utiliza cuando la corte de inmigración ha emitido una orden de deportación. La ley de inmigración en Washington indica que los inmigrantes que hayan sido deportados pueden presentar una moción de reapertura. Esto significa que el inmigrante puede presentar una solicitud a la corte para revisar su caso. La solicitud de reapertura se puede presentar incluso si la deportación ya ha ocurrido. El inmigrante puede presentar la solicitud de reapertura para que la decisión de deportación sea revocada. Esta petición debe incluir información relevante sobre el caso, así como las razones por las que se debería reconsiderar el caso. Si la corte concluye que la petición de reapertura tiene mérito, entonces la decisión de deportación puede ser revocada.
