If a case is lost at the BIA, a litigant can appeal to the United States Court of Appeals in the circuit the case originated.  There are thirteen different federal Courts of Appeals.   Our office will identify the applicable circuit court and discuss the appeal with you.  At this level, careful consideration must be given to the issues that will be raised on appeal.
