Generally, immigration appeals are filed to review and hopefully alter the immigration court’s initial decision on a certain case. There are different types of immigration appeals depending on what is the appeal for and where is it being filed.
If your case was denied at immigration court, you can reserve an appeal with the next appellate body, the Board of Immigration Appeals, located in Virginia. By reserving an appeal, the government and the immigration judge are made aware that you disagree with their decision and grant you the next thirty days to appeal.
Among the discussions regarding immigration systems in the US, President Trump has often spoken of the benefits of a points-based immigration system. While the entirety of the US immigration system has not been overhauled in favor of a points-based one, it is helpful to understand what the point-based immigration system entails and how it operates in other countries.
In the US, not all matters related to immigration require court time. In most cases, you have to fill out forms and file the correct documentation, which can itself be a lengthy task. However, if the decision for an application comes back negative and the applicant desires re-evaluation, the applicant must file an appeal. The appeal can eventually move to the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA), which is the highest body that can apply immigration laws in the US, unless circumstances allow for the case to go through the appellate courts.
The decision to immigrate or change residency status are lifechanging choices and, for some, these choices can result in improved living conditions, if not a safer life. On the other hand, facing possible removal from a country can be just momentous, as removals can result in bans on re-entry and possible immigration statuses. As such, if a negative immigration decision is reached, and the applicant believes they still have a case for a positive verdict, the applicant can file an appeal.

The US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has the ability to approve or deny immigration applications. Some think that rejection is final, but that is not necessarily the case. The applicant can appeal the decision to the Administrative Appeals Office (AAO). With the counsel of an experienced immigration attorney, there can be a possibility of a successful appeal.
