Re: Denied petition

Before we can properly advise you, we would need to know which portion of the application was denied. Keep in mind that there are strict timetables within which an appeal or motion for reconsideration must be filed.

The information contained herein is intended only for educational or informational purposes and is not a substitute for legal advice.

Responding to this inquiry in no way establishes an attorney client relationship; however, I look forward to exploring these issues with you further by way of telephone or in-person consultation.

Re: Denied petition

Before filing an appeal or re-filing your application, you should speak with an attorney. You do not mention what type of application you filed and the reason for it's denial. Note that if you need to appeal the decision, there is a strict statute of limitations, and you must file your appeal within a certain time after the decision.

An attorney with experience in immigration law will be able to advise you as to what your next step should be.
