The “Motion to Reconsider” comes from British Parliamentary Procedure, and finds itself in United States procedure in different areas of law.
When it comes to Immigration Procedure, you may be entitled to file a Motion to Reconsider within a short period of time after receiving an unfavorable decision.
A Motion to Reconsider, in Immigration terms, asks the Department of Justice to take another look at a decision which was made by the Department of Homeland Security.
To be successful you must prove that the decision was made incorrectly based on the evidence before USCIS at the time the decision was made.
