BIA Appeals

Take Your Removal Case to the Court of Appeals

Don’t Let a Removal Order
Be the Final Word

If an immigration judge has ordered your removal, it does not have to be the end of your immigration journey. Many removal orders are based on errors, misinterpretations of the law, or failure to properly consider evidence.

At Global Legal Advisors (GLA), we represent clients in Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) appeals and, when necessary, escalate cases to the U.S. Court of Appeals. Our goal is to protect your rights, correct mistakes, and keep families together.

What Is a BIA Appeal?

The Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) is the highest administrative body for interpreting and applying U.S. immigration law. If an immigration judge issues an unfavorable decision, you have the right to appeal to the BIA.

  • A BIA appeal can challenge:
  • Removal orders (deportation).
  • Denials of asylum, cancellation of removal, or adjustment of status.
  • Decisions based on legal errors or improper interpretation of evidence.
  • Immigration judge rulings that violate due process rights.

If the BIA denies your appeal, you can often take your case to the federal Court of Appeals for further review.

Why File a BIA Appeal?

  • Correct Legal Errors: Immigration judges can make mistakes in applying the law.
  • Ensure Fairness: Appeals hold judges and DHS accountable to due process.
  • Protect Your Future: A successful appeal can stop deportation and reopen opportunities for relief.
  • Buy Critical Time: Appeals can temporarily pause removal while your case is under review.
