Immigration Appeals
Many people harbor dreams of coming to the United States for work and other opportunities. However, no matter how important your dream is to you, you still must go through the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) and apply for immigration. Sometimes, your request for immigration can be denied.
If USCIS denies your immigration application, you can appeal this decision to the Administrative Appeals Office. However, the appeals process can be confusing and frustrating. If you need help with your immigration appeal or other immigration paperwork, you should contact an experienced Orange County immigration lawyer from Garg & Associates, P.C. today at 949-540-6704.
The Branches of Appeals
The Administrative Appeals Office, or AAO, is divided up into 9 branches that each handles different types of appeals. Before you file a motion of appeal, you should determine which branch should receive your application. The branches of appeals and some of the cases they handle include:
- Branch 1 – I-129 H, L, O, P, Q, and N-470 petitions
- Branch 2 – Denials of Temporary Protected Status
- Branch 3 – I-129F, I-131, I-212, and I-360 petitions, and more
- Branch 4 – I-601 and I-612 waivers as well as N-565 and N-600 applications
- Branch 5 – Most appeals involving alien and immigrant workers
- Branch 6 – Second- and third-preference workers
- Branch 7 – Appeals regarding the 1986 Immigration Reform and Control Act
The last two branches are specialized into the Appeals Fraud Branch, which researches and analyzes immigration fraud, and the Management Support Branch, which handles the administrative duties of the AAO.
