Nationwide Immigration Appeals Attorney
Has An Immigration Judge Denied Your Petition?
If a judge has denied your immigration petition, it doesn’t have to be the end of the road or the conclusion of your journey. Don’t lose hope just yet. You may have the right to appeal the decision to the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) — the official body authorized to meticulously review and, in some cases, reverse decisions made by Immigration Courts or the Department of Homeland Security. This means that even if you’ve encountered a setback, there still exists a pathway to pursue your immigration goals.
Because strict deadlines apply when initiating an appeal, it’s crucial to act quickly and efficiently. Maitreyee Mopalwar focuses on helping clients carefully evaluate their options, prepare appeal filings, and navigate the appeals process with diligence, care, and precision.
Based in New Jersey and proudly serving clients nationwide, she provides the guidance and support needed to effectively move forward after facing an immigration denial. Her dedication to her clients ensures that you won’t have to navigate this challenging process alone. Contact Mellorah Law PLLC today to begin your immigration appeal and take the first step towards reclaiming your future.

What Will Happen in the Appeals Process?
The Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) must receive your appeal within 30 days of the immigration judge’s decision. Missing this deadline can result in losing the right to appeal, so it’s important to act quickly.
Maitreyee Mopalwar prepares detailed legal briefs that clearly present your case, citing the relevant facts and arguments that support your position. Once the BIA receives your brief — along with the immigration judge’s record of the case — the board will review both and issue a decision. The BIA may either dismiss the appeal or return the matter to the immigration judge for further action.
While your appeal is pending, you are generally allowed to remain in the United States until a decision is reached. Maitreyee Mopalwar provides careful guidance throughout this process, ensuring that every step is handled correctly and on time. Contact Mellorah Law PLLC today to begin your immigration appeal and protect your right to stay in the United States.
What If the Board of Immigration Appeals Denies My Appeal?
Even if the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) denies your case, you may still have options. In some situations, you can bring your case before a U.S. Federal Court of Appeals. To do so, you must file a Petition for Review within 30 days of the BIA’s denial.
During this process, Maitreyee Mopalwar prepares written legal briefs that present your case clearly and persuasively, while the Department of Homeland Security submits its own response. In certain cases, she may also represent you in person before a panel of federal judges.
If your appeal has been denied by the BIA, it’s important to act quickly to preserve your right to further review. Contact Mellorah Law PLLC today to discuss your case and begin the federal appeals process.
