USCIS Motions to Reopen vs Motion to Reconsider: How To Win A Green Card After Denial

In this video, Immigration Green Card Attorney Carlos Batara discusses motions to reopen and motions to reconsider decisions by USCIS to deny permanent residence applications.

Known as I-290B motions, they enable immigrants to dispute negative outcomes based on factual or legal issues not properly assessed by United States Citizenship and Immigration Services officials.

This video explains the differences between an I-290B Motion To Reopen and an I-290B Motion To Reconsider, which can be filed independently or combined, and shares examples of cases where USCIS denials were reversed due to government oversight or error.
