Immigration & Federal Court Litigation: Immigration Appeals

Appeals from the District of Minnesota are taken to the United States Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit.

Federal immigration appeals can apply to any case, but most often involve cases in the following areas:

• Asylum - EOIR Asylum Statistics FY 2008

• Deportation, Removal, Exclusion

• Criminal Charges

If the Board of Immigration Appeals denies your case, you can file a Petition for Review with the federal appellate court having jurisdiction over the case. This petition must be done within 30 days of the Board’s decision.

Immigration cases are considered a federal matter. If the Board of Immigration Appeals has denied your case, you should enlist the help of an immigration attorney Because Immigration is regulated by the Federal government, attorneys admitted into any state bar may practice immigration law in any immigration court and Board of Appleals. 

Deportation
The federal appeals courts are your last hope at beating deportation.  The federal appeals courts review decisions by the Board of Immigration Appeals.  Congress has restricted the jurisdiction of the federal appeals courts in recent years making it more difficult to prevail in these courts.  Nevertheless, this option should not be overlooked.  Well-written and well-researched briefs in the federal appeals courts to give you the best possible chance to beat deportation.
