Immigration Lawyer in Orlando, FL

APPEALS TO THE BOARD OF IMMIGRATION APPEALS

If the Orlando Immigration Court or any other U.S. Immigration Court denies your case, you have the right to appeal that decision. At Colombo & Hurd, our team of experienced immigration appellate attorneys can assist with the threshold determination of whether the decision of an immigration judge is ripe for appeal. A local immigration judge’s decision is not always correct, and it is critical that you obtain prompt, sound analysis and advice regarding your case. While an appeal is an important right that can result in victory, that right is subject to strict deadlines and filing requirements. Accordingly, you should consult an attorney to ensure you do not jeopardize your rights. For example, in most appeals you must file your notice of appeal within 30 days after the lower court decision. At Colombo & Hurd, we can ensure your notice of appeal is filed on a timely basis with the BIA. During the next stage of an appeal our team of immigration appellate lawyers prepare a detailed and thorough written argument supporting your case. Since there are rarely any hearings or oral arguments during the appeal before the BIA, the written arguments we prepare for you are the best chance to persuade the BIA that the local immigration judge incorrectly decided your case. Even if your case has been denied by the BIA, our attorneys also litigate immigration cases before federal appellate courts.
