Motion to Reconsider and Reopen (MTRs) for T visas
After your T-Visa has been denied, you have the option to request the field office that issued the unfavorable decision to re-evaluate the decision either based on a misapplication of law (Motion to reconsider) or new evidence (Motion to reopen). Whether you file a motion to reopen or reconsider, both of these motions will go back to the Vermont Service Center to re-evaluate the decision. You will have 33 days to file Form I-290B, Notice of Appeal or Motion, to request a motion to reopen and/or reconsider.
