The Law Offices of Sabrina Li has successfully helped another client, and we are excited to share the details of their case with you.
Our client, an F-1 student, missed the 30-day window to file the Form I-765 for Optional Practical Training (OPT), and the USCIS denied her application due to untimely filing. After receiving the denial, the client approached The Law Offices of Sabrina Li to assist with her case.
The client was especially concerned regarding the rapidly approaching deadline to respond to the denial notice. Moreover, having recently completed her master’s program and receiving a job-offer, she was eagerly awaiting the approval of her work authorization.
Our knowledgeable team assisted the client by invoking the Nunc Pro Tunc principle to justify the late filing. In crafting a detailed affidavit, we outlined all the circumstances beyond her control that led to the delay and provided thorough guidance on collecting and presenting relevant supporting documentation throughout the case filing process.
In under two weeks, The Law Offices of Sabrina Li filed an I-290B Motion to Reopen. Subsequently, USCIS approved the Motion to Reopen and Form I-765 less than three weeks after filing.
The I-290B form is utilized to initiate an appeal or motion in response to a denial or an unfavorable decision on an immigration application. Though the form serves both purposes, an appeal and a motion to reconsider or reopen are distinct processes. A motion to reopen must state new facts and must be supported by documentary evidence demonstrating eligibility for the required immigration benefit at the time you filed the application or petition. A motion to reconsider must demonstrate that the decision was based on an incorrect application of law or policy, and that the decision was incorrect based on the evidence in the case record at the time of the decision. The motion must be supported by citations to appropriate statutes, regulations, precedent decisions, or statements of USCIS policy.
