If you have received a denial from the United States Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS), or an order of removal or deportation from the Immigration Court, an appeal may be possible.

Contact the Law Offices of Marc D. Schifanelli at (866) 451-2176 to learn more about your options for appealing a decision.

If your petition or application has been denied or revoked by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS), you may be able to appeal that decision to a higher authority. The Administrative Appeals Office has jurisdiction over many different immigration petitions and applications.

The Board of Immigration Appeals reviews the decisions of the Immigration Court, and in some cases the decisions of USCIS and/or the Administrative Appeals Office. Many of these appeals deal with the findings of the Immigration Judge, or USCIS denials of form I-130's or I-485's for loved ones. The Annapolis, Maryland Law Offices of Marc D. Schifanelli can represent you in your appeal, helping to ensure that you get the results you and your family deserve by presenting to the Board of Immigration Appeals or the Administrative Appeals Office a well researched and crafted legal argument.
