Appeals to the Board of Immigration Appeals

The Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) is a body that reviews decisions made by immigration judges regarding refugee and asylum cases. If an individual believes their asylum request was wrongly denied, they can appeal to the BIA for a review. The BIA examines the case to determine if there were legal errors or if the decision was unjust based on the facts presented. This process is crucial for ensuring fairness in immigration decisions and provides an avenue for individuals to seek protection from persecution in their home countries.
