What is Motion to Reopen?

A motion to reopen is a mechanism often used by individuals to reopen their Immigration Court proceedings following the prior rendering of a decision by the judge in their case. Following the issuance of his or her decision, a judge can reopen proceedings on motion and, under some circumstances, can even terminate proceedings in order to allow the alien to pursue an alternative form of relief outside of the court’s jurisdiction and without the threat of deportation pursuant to a previously entered order of removal.

How to win a Motion to Reopen your Removal Order?

In general, motions to reopen may only be submitted to the Court within ninety (90) days following the finality of the IJ’s decision. However, this ninety (90) day limit can be overcome should the motion sufficiently present either new evidence that became available since the completion of proceedings and/or where extraordinary circumstances preventing the timely filing of the motion to reopen within the ninety (90) day statutory period.

Furthermore, it is often superseding case law, effecting the law supporting a prior decision rendered in a case, that can provide sufficient grounds for overcoming the ninety (90) day statutory period. However, even where there is superseding case law, a motion to reopen must state the new facts that will be proven at a reopened hearing if the motion is granted, and the motion must be supported by affidavits or other evidentiary material.

Lastly, if you have recently become aware of the existence of an order of removal entered against you because of your failure to appear to the Court on the date of your scheduled hearing, a successful motion to reopen will result in the rescission of your order of removal entered in absentia and you will have another opportunity to pursue relief in front of the Immigration Judge.
