Motion to Reopen
A Motion to reopen allows you to ask the immigration court to reopen your case under certain circumstances. You may qualify to file a Motion to Reopen under the following conditions:
- New Evidence or Changed Circumstances: If new evidence comes to light that could significantly affect your case or if there has been a major change in your personal circumstances (e.g., marriage, new family ties, or changed political conditions in your home country).
- Ineffective Assistance of Counsel: If you were not properly represented by your attorney during your original proceedings, or if your attorney’s performance was deficient, you may file a Motion to Reopen.
- Failure to Appear: If you were ordered removed due to missing your hearing but can show that your failure to appear was due to reasons beyond your control (e.g., medical emergency, or not receiving a notice), you may be eligible to reopen your case.
- New Eligibility for Relief: If you are now eligible for relief (such as asylum, family-based petitions, or other forms of legal status) that you were not eligible for when the order was originally issued, you may file a Motion to Reopen.
- Change in Law: If there has been a change in immigration law that would affect your eligibility for relief or the outcome of your case, you may file a Motion to Reopen.
