Seeking a Second Opportunity After an Immigration Decision

A motion to reopen may allow a person to ask the immigration court, Board of Immigration Appeals, or immigration agency to reopen a case based on new facts, new evidence, changed circumstances, or other legally recognized reasons.

At Kanu & Associates, P.C., we help clients review prior immigration decisions and determine whether a motion to reopen may be available.

When May a Motion to Reopen Be Appropriate?

A motion to reopen may be considered when important evidence was not previously available, circumstances have changed, a person missed court for a valid reason, prior counsel may have been ineffective, or a new form of relief may now be available.

These motions are deadline-sensitive and require careful preparation.

How We Can Help

Our firm can assist with:

  • Reviewing prior orders and decisions
  • Identifying new evidence
  • Evaluating changed circumstances
  • Preparing legal arguments
  • Gathering supporting documents
  • Filing motions with the appropriate court or agency
  • Developing next-step strategy if the case is reopened
