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

You have 30 days from the date you received the removal order to file your Notice of Appeal.

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.
