Step 1: File your Notice of Appeal

To start your appeal, send the following documents to the Immigration Appeal Division (IAD):

You may also send additional documents which you think can help resolve your appeal.

30-day deadline

Once you receive the removal order, the IAD must receive your notice of appeal form and all required documents within 30 days.

It is important to keep all contact information up to date. Use the Notification of Client Contact Information form to tell the IAD if it changes. If you or your counsel do not respond to a communication from the IAD, the IAD can dismiss your appeal or declare it abandoned. This would mean that your appeal is over and the original decision that you are challenging does not change.
