Prohibitions on Motions & Appeals
{"Image DocumentName": "Prohibitions on Motions & Appeals", "Image ImageDescription": "The beneficiary of a petition may never file a motion or an appeal with USCIS. Only the petitioner or applicant may file a motion or an appeal. A person who is petitioning for himself or herself may file a motion or appeal (since he or she is both the petitioner and the beneficiary) A motion or appeal must be filed within 30 days from the date of the adverse decision. A motion may be considered after 30 days if a statement is submitted with the motion explaining why the delay for filing was reasonable and beyond the applicant\u2019s or petitioner\u2019s control. An appeal may be granted additional time by the AAO or BIA to provide a brief and/or evidence if a statement is submitted with the appeal explaining the need for additional time.", "Image XResolution": "37", "Image YResolution": "37", "Image ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Centimeter", "Image Software": "SlidePlayer", "Image YCbCrPositioning": "Centered"}
