I-290B Immigration Appeals & Motions

Challenge or Reopen a USCIS Immigration Decision

Form I-290B allows applicants or petitioners to challenge certain immigration decisions issued by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). Individuals may file an appeal, a motion to reopen, or a motion to reconsider when they believe a decision was incorrect or when new evidence becomes available. This process provides an opportunity to review and potentially reverse unfavorable immigration decisions.

I-290B Appeals & Motions Overview

When USCIS denies an immigration application or petition, the applicant may have the option to file Form I-290B to challenge the decision. This form allows individuals to submit an appeal to the Administrative Appeals Office (AAO) or request that USCIS reopen or reconsider the case. Appeals and motions provide a structured legal process for reviewing immigration decisions and presenting new evidence or legal arguments.
