Les services de citoyenneté et d'immigration des États-Unis (USCIS) ont-ils rejeté votre demande ? Vous avez peut-être encore la possibilité de faire appel de la décision ou de déposer une requête dans votre dossier.
Remarque : ces informations ne s'appliquent pas aux dossiers rejetés par un juge de l'immigration devant le tribunal de l'immigration. Elles ne concernent que les dossiers déposés auprès de l'USCIS.
Vous pouvez faire appel de la décision de l'USCIS ou demander à l'USCIS de réexaminer le refus en remplissant le formulaire I-290B, Notice of Appeal or Motion. Un appel est déposé auprès de l'Administrative Appeals Office (AAO) ou commission administrative d'appel. Une motion est déposée auprès du bureau de l'USCIS qui a rendu la dernière décision dans votre cas. Il peut s'agir d'un bureau local, d'un centre de services ou de l'AAO.
Veuillez noter que seul le demandeur ou le pétitionnaire de l'affaire peut déposer le formulaire I-290B. Le bénéficiaire de la requête ou tout avocat du bénéficiaire ne peut pas déposer d'appel ou de requête.
Dans la plupart des cas, conformément au titre 8, C.F.R. §103.5(a)(1)(i), un appel ou une requête doit être déposé dans les 30 jours calendaires suivant la date de la décision de l'USCIS. Toutefois, si l'USCIS a envoyé la décision par courrier, c'est la date d'envoi de la décision qui est prise en compte pour le décompte des 30 jours. L'USCIS peut refuser un appel ou une requête déposée tardivement. Veuillez noter que si vous déposez une motion de réouverture après les 30 jours, l'USCIS peut encore accepter la motion si elle détermine que le retard était raisonnable et indépendant de votre volonté.
Lorsque vous remplissez le formulaire I-290B, vous devez inclure toutes les preuves et tous les documents à l'appui de votre appel ou de votre requête. Si vous déposez une requête, vous pouvez inclure un mémoire juridique et si vous déposez une requête en réouverture après les 30 jours de la décision, vous pouvez inclure des preuves montrant que le retard était raisonnable et indépendant de votre volonté.
Autre point important, n'oubliez pas d'inclure la taxe de dépôt de 675 dollars lorsque vous soumettez le formulaire I-290B à l'USCIS. Si vous ne payez pas le montant exact, l'USCIS rejettera votre appel ou votre requête.
De plus, l'adresse à laquelle vous déposez le formulaire I-290B dépend du type de demande que l'USCIS a rejetée et pour laquelle vous faites appel ou déposez une requête. Vous pouvez consulter le site web de l'USCIS (https://www.uscis.gov/i-290b-addresses) pour déterminer l'adresse appropriée à votre cas.
Si vous avez des questions sur le type de preuves à inclure, sur l'endroit où déposer votre appel ou votre requête, ou si vous vous demandez si vous pouvez faire appel ou déposer une requête dans votre affaire, prenez immédiatement rendez-vous avec l'un de nos avocats expérimentés et nous nous ferons un plaisir de vous aider.

The latest policy alert, PA-2024-05, issued by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) on March 21, 2024, brings revisions to the USCIS Policy Manual, specifically focusing on expediting requests. These updates aim to simplify and elucidate the process for applicants, particularly those facing emergencies or urgent humanitarian needs. The primary goal is to make it easier for applicants to understand how to request expedited processing for their various submissions, including applications, petitions, appeals, or motions, especially in cases concerning government interests or urgent situations. While USCIS has historically permitted immigration benefit seekers to request expedited application processing in specific circumstances, the process has frequently been perceived as unclear, with decisions made arbitrarily on a case-by-case basis. The recent update seeks to rectify this by providing clarity and uniformity to the process and establishing explicit criteria and documentation standards. In order to request expedited processing, applicants need to adhere to a more defined procedure. This involves submitting thorough documentation and illustrating the urgency or government relevance of their case. The recent update also explains how USCIS reviews these requests, offering applicants a better grasp of the process. The update introduces special measures for speeding up the processing of Form I-131 (Application for Travel Document) in emergency situations. This acknowledges the urgent need for certain applicants to travel. The policy also acknowledges that expedited requests may be evaluated if there is evident USCIS error, aiming to uphold fairness and accountability within the processing system. These changes aim to make the expedited request process more transparent and understandable for applicants and their representatives. In summary, USCIS's revision regarding expedited requests signifies a notable advancement in rendering the immigration process more transparent and attentive to applicants' requirements. By comprehending these updated guidelines, applicants and their representatives can more effectively navigate the expedited request procedure, ensuring that urgent cases receive due consideration. If you believe you qualify for expedited processing under the recent USCIS policy updates, feel free to contact our office, and we will be more than happy to assist you.

As of April 1, 2024, USCIS has instituted an inflation adjustment to immigration application filing fees . These fee increases apply to a majority of the different application types, including family-based, non-immigrant, and immigrant petitions. As a part of these fee increases, USCIS has also instituted a new program designed to provide funding to the United States’ Asylum Program, in order to better address the massive backlog of pending asylum claims currently waiting to be adjudicated. Unfortunately, these changes have led to confusion among petitioners for when they are required to pay the Asylum Program Fee, and when they may qualify for a 50% or complete exemption from the fee. The Asylum Program Fee is required to be submitted by employers in all I-129 and I-140 petitions filed on or after April 1, 2024. The Asylum Program Fee is $600, however, certain exemptions apply . Small employers , defined as having 25 or fewer total employees, qualify for a reduction of the Asylum Program Fee, but are still required to submit a reduced fee of $300. Individual petitioners, or self-petitions, such as in the case of an EB-2 National Interest Waiver, are considered small employers for the purpose of the Asylum Program Fee and are also required to submit the reduced $300 fee. Non-profit organizations are exempted from the Asylum Program fee and are not required to submit any additional funds with the ordinary I-129 or I-140 filing fee. In addition, non-profits qualify for a 50% reduction of the ordinary filing fee in certain types of applications, bringing the overall filing fee burden down substantially for non-profit organizations. With these changes to USCIS’ filing fee schedule, USCIS is hoping for significant improvements to efficiency and processing for pending asylum applicants. If you or your petitioning organization need any assistance in preparing an application for an immigration benefit, including ensuring proper compliance with the new fee requirements, our office is ready and waiting to help!
