When your immigration case is denied, it can feel like the end of the road, but in many situations, it’s not. You may be eligible to reopen your immigration case and pursue a better outcome. If new evidence or legal circumstances have arisen since your denial, a motion to reopen I-290B may be the key to getting your case reconsidered.
