What Is a Motion to Reconsider in Immigration Law?
A Motion to Reconsider asks the same authority that made an unfavorable decision to review it again, arguing there was a mistake in applying the law or facts. It is governed by federal regulations under Title 8 of the Code of Federal Regulations (8 C.F.R.). Unlike a Motion to Reopen, which presents new evidence, a Motion to Reconsider argues the decision was incorrect based on the existing record. The firm, founded in 1997 by former prosecutor Mr. Sris, uses its deep procedural knowledge to craft these arguments.
