What Is a Motion to Reconsider in Immigration Law?
A motion to reconsider asks U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) or the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) to re-examine a decision based on an incorrect application of law or policy. It is governed by federal regulations under Title 8 of the Code of Federal Regulations (8 C.F.R.). Unlike new evidence, this motion focuses on legal errors in the original ruling.

Approximately 8-14 months. Naturalization (N-400) takes about 8-14 months from filing to oath ceremony at the USCIS Baltimore Field Office. Requirements include holding a green card for 5 years (3 if married to a U.S. citizen), meeting English/civics tests, and showing good moral character.
What is the difference between a motion to reconsider and a motion to reopen?
They are different legal tools. A motion to reconsider argues the decision was legally wrong. A motion to reopen asks the court to consider new, material evidence that was not available previously. An immigration reconsideration lawyer Calvert County can advise which is appropriate for your case.

It depends. In some cases, yes. A motion to reopen must generally be filed within 90 days of a final deportation order and must present new facts. Strict deadlines and legal standards apply. Consulting a lawyer to reopen immigration case lawyer Calvert County is critical to assess eligibility.
What happens if my motion to reconsider is denied?
You may appeal. If USCIS denies the motion, you may have the right to appeal to the Administrative Appeals Office (AAO) or the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA), depending on the underlying case. Further judicial review in federal court may also be an option in certain circumstances.
