Winning Your Case

Immigration CourtCurrently, there is a backlog of over 3 million cases in Immigration Court. By clearing low-priority cases, the American Immigration Lawyers Association estimates this would include at least 700,000 low-priority cases. ICE has not released their estimate of how many cases would be cleared under this plan.

What is your best strategy for winning your case in Immigration Court?  Immigration Judges determine whether you are subject to deportation and rule on applications for asylum, adjustment of status, cancellation of removal and various types of waivers.

There are over 1,000,000 pending cases before the courts and the number is growing. Some Judge’s calendars are backlogged for 3 years or more. A Judge’s decision may be appealed to the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA).  The Courts and the BIA are part of the Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR).

Generally, a BIA decision can be appealed to the appropriate U.S. Court of Appeals and from there to the US Supreme Court.

Even when my parents had been denied and they had been told to pack and get out of this country, Mr. Shusterman rushed to find an alternative in order to ensure that my parents could stay.”
