Administrative Appeals to the BIA

Once an immigration judge enters a removal order, you and your client have just thirty days to decide whether to appeal the decision, and if so, to ensure that the Board of Immigration Appeals receives your client's Notice of Appeal. This is a critical window in which you and your client must decide whether an appeal is warranted. MIL can prepare your clients' appellate briefs to deadline by identifying, preserving and developing your client's best arguments on administrative appeal.

Petitions for Review to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit

If the Board of Immigration Appeals has already affirmed a denial of your client's requested relief such as asylum, cancellation of removal, voluntary departure, withholding or relief under the Torture Convention, then you may wish to appeal the final administrative decision to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals through a Petition for Review.
​
MIL has experience in filing such petitions, related motions and opening briefs to identify, preserve and develop key legal arguments in the federal appellate context. MIL can assist with:
​
  • Petitions for Review
  • Motions to Stay an Order of Removal
  • Motions in Forma Pauperis
  • General Motion Practice
  • Petitioner Opening Briefs
