BIA Appeals
A judge said no? That doesn't mean it's over.
The Board of Immigration Appeals can reverse the judge's decision — but the time to act is narrow.
What did the judge decide in your case?
BIA Appeal
The judge said no. That is not the end.
The Board of Immigration Appeals can reverse the judge's decision. Our practice is focused on BIA appeals and motions to reopen.

Missed your court date? Judge ordered your removal in absentia?
An order made when you were not there is generally not appealed to the Board. The route is different — a motion to reopen in the same court.
Learn moreDHS APPEALED
The judge ruled in your favour, and the government appealed.
You won — and DHS has appealed to the Board. Until the Board rules, what the judge granted you is not settled. We defend the judge's decision before the Board.

Federal representation across the U.S.
Immigration law is federal. We can represent you in any state, no matter where your hearing was.
Payment plan
Clear fees, no surprises.
Our fee for a BIA appeal is $5,000, payable in two stages: $3,000 at signing — this payment covers both filing the appeal and writing your case strategy; and $2,000 on the day the Board issues the briefing schedule. The Board's filing fee — $1,060 for a notice of appeal filed on or after 1 October 2026 — is separate, belongs to you, and is paid directly to EOIR. No deposit or upfront payment.
Not sure you can pay the Board fee? The Board has a form to request a fee waiver. Answer a few questions and we will show whether your situation resembles the one the form is designed for. The Board decides, not us.

Frequently asked questions
Quick answers
How long do I have to appeal?
In most cases, 30 calendar days from the immigration judge's decision. Deadlines are strict. Consult an attorney immediately.
Can I keep working while I appeal?
In many cases, a timely appeal allows you to keep and renew your work permit (EAD). This does not occur in every case; it depends on the facts of your situation.
What if DHS appeals my win?
If the judge granted you asylum or cancellation and the government appealed, you also have rights before the BIA. Immigrateful defends you.
Can you represent me if I am not in Florida?
Yes. Immigration law is federal. We can represent you in any state in the U.S.
