Appeals

In immigration litigation, an appeal is a formal request to a higher authority, usually an immigration court or agency, to review a decision made in a previous case. This process allows individuals to challenge unfavorable rulings, such as visa denials or deportation orders. During an appeal, the higher authority assesses the original decision for legal errors or incorrect application of the law. The goal is to seek a different outcome based on the evidence presented. Appeals can involve legal briefs and sometimes oral arguments, ultimately aiming for a fair reconsideration of the case.
