Federal Immigration
Appeals & Mandamus
Aggressive appellate advocacy before the BIA, AAO, and federal courts, plus mandamus actions to compel agency action on delayed cases.
When the Answer is "No"
A denial is not always the end. Our appellate practice reverses unfavorable decisions through meticulous legal research, persuasive brief writing, and strategic litigation in administrative tribunals and federal courts.
Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA)
We handle appeals from Immigration Court decisions in removal proceedings, including challenges to deportation orders, bond determinations, and denials of relief such as asylum, cancellation of removal, and adjustment of status.
Administrative Appeals Office (AAO)
Appeals from USCIS denials of employment-based petitions, family-based petitions, and other immigration benefits. We craft comprehensive legal briefs that address officers' concerns and present new evidence where permitted.
Federal Court Litigation
Petitions for review in the U.S. Courts of Appeals challenging BIA and agency decisions. We also pursue APA challenges to unlawful agency policies and practices in federal district courts.
Mandamus Actions
When USCIS or other agencies unreasonably delay adjudication of applications, we file federal lawsuits to compel action. Mandamus can be a powerful tool to break through bureaucratic paralysis.
