How can I appeal a denial of an immigrant visa?

If you have been denied an immigrant visa in California, you can appeal the decision to U.S. Department of Homeland Security, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. To appeal a denial, you must file your appeal, known as a motion to reopen or motion to reconsider, within 30 days of the denial decision. First, you need to determine which type of motion you will be filing. A motion to reopen or reconsider will be available only if there is new evidence or changed circumstances that were not present at the time of the initial denial. If the denial was due to a technical or procedural failure, you may be able to file a motion to reconsider. Once you have determined which motion you will be filing, you should begin gathering evidence to support your case. This may include documents such as financial statements, employment records, or other evidence that suggests that you are eligible for the immigrant visa. You must also submit a written statement that explains why the denial should be reversed. This statement should include a clear explanation of why you believe the decision was wrong and provide any new or changed circumstances that occurred since the denial. Finally, you need to submit all of the necessary documents to the appropriate office. Depending on the type of motion you are filing, this could be the local USCIS district office, the National Visa Center, or the USCIS Service Center. With your motion, you must also include the correct filing fee. Once your appeal has been submitted, it is important to follow up with USCIS to ensure that they have received it. If it is denied, you may still have other options for obtaining an immigrant visa. Consulting an attorney familiar with immigration law can help you determine the best course of action.

En California, existen varias formas de apelar una negación de una visa de inmigrante. La primera es con una Nueva Petición de Consideración (Motion To Reopen/Reconsider). Esta petición debe ser presentada en el tribunal de inmigración dentro de los noventa días a partir de la fecha de la decisión de negación. Esta petición presenta una solución nueva o argumentos que no se incluyeron en la petición inicial. Otra opción es presentar una Apelación de Negación (Administrative Appeal of Denial) al Departamento de Seguridad Nacional (DHS) dentro de los 30 días a partir de la decisión de la negación. Por lo general, esta opción se recomienda para peticiones de familia. Por último, se puede presentar una Apelación de Revocación de la Deportación (Appeal of Deportation). Esta opción es útil para aquellos que han sido deportados de los Estados Unidos. Esta apelación debe presentarse en el tribunal de inmigración dentro de los 30 días a partir de la fecha de la deportación. En todas estas situaciones, es importante preparar el caso adecuadamente con la ayuda de un abogado o un consejero legal calificado.
