What is a Motion to Reconsider?

A Motion to Reconsider is a legal action that can be taken when an individual has been deported from the United States. It is a request to the issuing court or agency to review the decision made in a previous case and change it. This motion is typically used if an immigrant believes that they were wrongfully deported or that they have new evidence that could help their case. In South Carolina, a Motion to Reconsider may be filed in the local Immigration Court. To file such a motion, the immigrant must provide a detailed explanation as to why they should be allowed to stay in the United States. The immigrant must also provide appropriate evidence demonstrating why they are eligible to remain. If granted, the judge may reopen the case and consider the immigrant’s claims anew. Depending on the case, the judge may either order the immigrant to be released or he/she may require them to submit additional evidence before making a decision. If the Motion to Reconsider is denied, the individual will remain subject to deportation from the United States. Depending on the circumstances, an immigrant may choose to file an appeal and request a review of the decision. In some cases, a Motion to Reconsider may be the only way for an immigrant to remain in the United States and avoid deportation.

Una Moción para Reconsiderar es una petición presentada al tribunal para reconsiderar una decisión previa de la corte. Esta petición puede presentarse para solicitar que una decisión ya tomada sea revocada o modificada. En el estado de Carolina del Sur, una Moción para Reconsiderar se presenta para solicitar que un tribunal reconsiderar una decisión de deportación. Esto es comúnmente presentado por los abogados de inmigración para tratar de evitar que un individuo sea removido del país. Una Moción para Reconsiderar se puede presentar si hay pruebas nuevas o si las circunstancias han cambiado, lo que hace que el individuo sea elegible para la residencia permanente, el estado de no inmigrante o un estatus diferente en el Programa de Acción Diferida (DACA). El juez tendrá la discreción de conceder o negar la Moción para Reconsiderar. La solicitud debe tener buenos argumentos para apoyar la reconsideración de la decisión de deportación. Si se concede la moción, el juez reconsiderará la decisión de deportación. Si se niega la moción, el individuo seguirá con la orden de deportación previamente emitida.
