If My Application For Permanent Residency Is Denied Can I Appeal?

The only applications for permanent residency (Form I­485) which can be appealed to USCIS are those based on a marriage which took place while the alien's application was in process or those based on Section 586 of Public Law 106­429, adjustment of status for certain nationals of Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos.  These appeals must be made to the Administrative Appeals Unit (AAU).

 

Generally, you may appeal within 33 days after the immigration judge decides to remove you from the country.  After your appeal form and a required fee are processed, the appeal will be referred to the Board of Immigration Appeals in Washington, D.C.
