What Form I-290B is for

Form I-290B is used to file a Notice of Appeal or Motion with USCIS in certain denied or revoked cases.

Applicants or petitioners responding to certain USCIS denials or revocations within strict filing deadlines.

Form content last reviewed 2026-07-29. Always confirm the current form edition on the official USCIS page before filing.

What Asal can help prepare

We help prepare the notice, organize the prior decision, and assemble supporting documents for your submission.

  • Help organize the denial notice and supporting documents you provide
  • Prepare form entries for the appeal or motion packet
  • Assemble exhibits and translations for submission

What Asal cannot legally advise on

  • We do not provide legal advice, legal opinions, or case strategy.
  • We do not represent you before USCIS or immigration court.
  • We do not decide whether you qualify for a benefit — USCIS or the relevant agency decides.
  • We do not advise whether an appeal or motion is the correct legal remedy.

Appeals and motions involve legal arguments and hard deadlines. Consult a licensed immigration attorney promptly.

I-290B document checklist

  • Denial or revocation notice
  • Copy of the original filing when available
  • New evidence you want included
  • Certified translations

Your case may need additional documents. We give you a tailored checklist during a free document review.

Fees and official sources

USCIS filing fees change periodically and vary by category, age, and filing method. We do not quote government fees from memory. Always verify the current I-290B filing fee, payment method, and any form-specific fee rules on the official USCIS page before you submit.

Processing times for I-290B vary widely by service center, workload, and case complexity, and they change month to month. Check current estimates with the USCIS processing-times tool and your receipt notice rather than relying on a fixed number. Filing a complete, well-organized packet is the best way to avoid Requests for Evidence that add delay.

USCIS government filing fees are separate from Asal document-preparation fees and change over time. Always verify the current fee and form edition on USCIS.gov before filing.

    Frequently asked questions

    How long does I-290B preparation take?+

    Most I-290B packets are ready within 24–48 hours after you provide all required documents. Complex cases with many supporting documents may take slightly longer. We give you a realistic timeline at your free consultation. USCIS processing time after you file is separate and depends on the agency's current workload.

    Can you help me if I started my I-290B application somewhere else?+

    Yes. We often help Enon clients who started their I-290B elsewhere and want a second set of eyes before submission. Bring whatever you have completed so far and we will review it, identify any gaps, and complete the packet correctly.

    Do I need to come to your Columbus office, or can you help Enon clients remotely?+

    Most of our work is done in-office at our Morse Road location so we can review original documents in person. Many Enon clients find the drive worthwhile because of the thorough document review. Call (380) 269-7408 to discuss your situation before making the trip.

    What happens if USCIS sends a Request for Evidence on my I-290B?+

    If you receive an RFE after submission your I-290B, call us at (380) 269-7408. We help build response packets and organize the additional documents USCIS is requesting. Note that legal strategy for complex RFEs may require a licensed immigration attorney.
