IMMIGRATION COURT (EOIR) AND MOTIONS
We guide you every step of the way before Immigration Court (EOIR) and prepare strategic motions to protect your future.
What it is
A motion to reopen can be filed when there is new evidence, an error, or important circumstances that were not considered before. The goal is for the authority to review whether the case should be reopened and evaluated again.
When it is used
When there is a prior decision and it is necessary to evaluate whether there is a basis to request reopening.
When you could not attend a hearing for a justified and documentable reason.
When important documents or circumstances appear that were not presented before.
When there were errors, circumstances outside your control or relevant changes in your immigration situation.
How ETIKA helps
We identify the reason for the prior decision and which documents should be reviewed first.
We evaluate reports, personal, work, medical documents, or relevant communications.
We prepare a clear document narrative to organize the motion and its support.
We organize forms, attachments, translations, and proof of filing based on what applies.
We provide administrative guidance and document preparation. We do not provide legal representation or legal advice. Cases that require legal analysis are referred to Arbelo Law Group.
Who may need it
It may apply to people with relevant new evidence, people who could not attend a hearing for a justified reason or cases where important circumstances existed that were not evaluated before.
General documents required
This list helps us review your file with structure. If you do not have some of these documents, we guide you in identifying alternative evidence before preparing the package.

After filing
USCIS or the Court reviews the motion. DHS/OPLA may respond, and then a judge or officer decides whether the case deserves reopening.
The case is reactivated and can be reviewed again based on the type of process and the corresponding authority.
The case remains closed or denied. Timelines can vary based on the court, workload, and file complexity.
Value and way to start
We first review the type of decision, date, available evidence, and whether it corresponds to USCIS or Immigration Court. The final value may adjust based on complexity and real documentation.
