Prosecutors have reopened your immigration case! What happens now?

In recent months, many people have received notifications from immigration prosecutors requesting that their cases be reopened in immigration court, even after having been closed or inactive for several years.

When a case is reopened, it is important to understand what options may be available. In some situations, if a person qualifies for permanent residence through a family petition, an employment-based petition, or a special visa, they may be able to request that their case in immigration court be terminated in order to continue their process with USCIS or through a U.S. consulate.

However, when these options are not available, the case may continue in immigration court, and it may be necessary to evaluate legal strategies such as asylum, cancellation of removal, or other forms of immigration relief.

If you have received a notification regarding your immigration court case or would like to evaluate your immigration options in the United States, we invite you to contact our office to receive legal guidance regarding your situation.
