What is the process for appealing a denial of an employment-based green card petition?

Appealing a denial of an employment-based green card petition in Arizona is a complex process. To begin, the individual must file a Notice of Appeal with the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) within 30 days of receiving the decision from the Immigration Court. The Notice of Appeal and filing fee must be submitted to the Office of the Clerk in Falls Church, Virginia. The Notice of Appeal must include the individual’s full name, Alien filing number, the date of the Immigration Court decision, and the reason for filing an appeal. In some cases, the individual may need to submit additional documentation such as evidence that new facts have emerged since the initial decision was made. Once the Notice of Appeal for the employment-based green card application has been submitted, the individual must wait for a response from the BIA. This process can take several months to complete. Depending on the complexity of the case, the BIA can either affirm, reverse, or remand the Immigration Court’s decision. If the BIA affirms the decision, the individual will have exhausted all of their appeals and must reapply for their green card. If the BIA reverses or remands the decision, the individual may be given the opportunity to submit additional evidence or a new application. Appealing an Immigration Court decision is a complex and time-consuming process. To ensure that the individual has the best chance of a successful appeal, it is recommended that they seek legal advice from an experienced Arizona immigration attorney. This can help them ensure that all the necessary paperwork and appeals are properly handled and that their rights are protected.

El proceso de apelar una denegación de una petición de tarjeta verde basada en el empleo varía de estado a estado. En el estado de Arizona, una persona puede apelar la decisión de denegar su petición de tarjeta verde al Tribunal de Apelaciones de Inmigración de EE. UU. El primero paso es presentar un recurso ante la oficina del Tribunal de Apelaciones de Inmigración de EE. UU., que se encuentra en Phoenix, Arizona. Después de presentar el recurso, el Tribunal emitirá una audiencia de apelación, es decir una vista oral ante un juez tanto para la persona que presentó la petición como para el Departamento de Seguridad Nacional. En la audiencia, el abogado de la persona presentará argumentos y testimonios de testigos para apoyar la petición de tarjeta verde. Si el juez decide a favor de la persona, la decisión del USCIS de denegar la petición de tarjeta verde se anulará. Si el juez desea más información, entonces la persona puede presentar testimonios adicionales para soportar su caso. Después de la audiencia, el juez emitirá una orden explicando su decisión. Si su decisión es a favor de la persona, el USCIS debe reconsiderar la petición de tarjeta verde.
