Immigration Certification in the United States

Certification in relation to Immigration Courts

(information based on the DoJ Manual) An Immigration Judge may ask the Board of Immigration Appeals to review his or her decision. See (in this American law platform, in relation to immigration courts and judges) 8 C.F.R. §§ 1003.1(c), 1003.7. This is known as “certifying” the case to the Board. When a case is certified, an Immigration Court serves a notice of certification on the parties. Generally, a briefing schedule is served on the parties following certification. The certification of a case is separate from any appeal in the case. Therefore, a party wishing to appeal must file an appeal even if the Immigration Judge has certified the case to the Board. See (in this American law platform, in relation to immigration courts and judges) 8 C.F.R. § 1003.3(d).
