Refusals / Reconsiderations
Visa refusals can be frustrating, but in many cases, applications can be reconsidered or reapplied with stronger documentation.
Description
Our consultants carefully review refusal letters and identify the reasons behind the decision. We then prepare a stronger application strategy to improve the chances of approval.

What is a reconsideration vs appeal?
Reconsideration is the next step if a claim is denied and you need to provide additional information or clarification. Appeal should be used when the reconsideration is unsuccessful or when you need to challenge a denial formally with detailed documentation
What happens if reconsideration is denied?
If a motion for reconsideration is denied, the original court order remains in effect, and the case typically proceeds, often requiring an appeal to a higher court or continued litigation. The ruling indicates that the court found no new evidence or legal errors, meaning the judgment is likely final in that court
How many motion for reconsideration are allowed?
Period to appeal. — The appeal shall be taken within fifteen (15) days from receipt of the resolution or of the denial of the motion for reconsideration/reinvestigation if one has been filed within fifteen (15) days from receipt of the assailed resolution. Only one motion for reconsideration shall be allowed
How long is reconsideration?
Reconsideration processing times vary heavily by agency, typically ranging from 1 to 6 months. SSA disability reconsiderations often take 3–4 months (roughly 213 days), while IRS audit reconsiderations may take 30 days to several months. Other specialized reviews, such as PSLF loan reconsiderations, can exceed 12 months.
