Citation-Checked BIA Appeal Briefs,
Typically Under 30 Minutes.
Upload the Immigration Judge’s decision — get a draft of the brief to the Board, ready for attorney review.
Only for a respondent's appeal to the BIA from an Immigration Judge's removal decision, before the Board decides.
Not for petitions for review, motions to reopen or reconsider, USCIS appeals, or a case the Board has already decided.
Citations checked against our library of published decisions. Your brief arrives with a verification report showing what each check found.
Beta — read this before you file
ImmAppeal is in beta. You must read the draft in full and verify every citation yourself before filing. The verification report shows what our checks could confirm about the authorities; it is not a substitute for your review, and it says nothing about whether the facts, dates, quotations, or procedural history in the draft are correct.
For licensed attorneys and their teams. A first draft for your professional review — you edit, you approve, you file. No case outcome is guaranteed.
Every appeal on one page: status, brief due date, circuit.
How It Works
Three deliberate steps to a draft of the brief to the Board — citations checked and sourced, ready for attorney review
Upload the Decision
Upload the Immigration Judge's decision in a case you are appealing to the Board. The draft is written from the Immigration Judge's decision alone. Other files are stored with the case but are not read into this draft; transcript and exhibit cites have to be added by counsel.
AI Drafts the Brief to the Board
The draft answers what the judge actually decided. When the decision shows the circuit where the case arises, it cites that circuit's precedent, which the Board applies. The model writes the argument and its citations; the citations found in the draft are then checked against our library of published BIA and federal appellate decisions.
Review & File
Review the draft against its citation verification report — the status of the citations it checked, linked to its source. Then apply your professional judgment, edit, and file. Attorney review is a required step; the report makes it fast.
Built for Immigration Attorneys
Designed to produce carefully drafted, citation-checked briefs for appeals to the BIA
Citation Verification
Citations are checked against our library of published decisions, and each brief ships with a full verification report showing what each check found — so you see what was confirmed — and against what source — before you file.
Your Circuit's Law, Before the Board
The Board applies the law of the circuit where the case arises. When the Immigration Judge's decision shows that circuit, the draft cites its precedent alongside the Board's own; when it does not, the draft treats no circuit's law as binding. Check the draft's governing-circuit statement against your case.
11,400+ Federal Decisions
Our database indexes thousands of BIA and federal circuit court decisions. It is the library the draft's citations are checked against after drafting; the model writes the citations itself.
Typically Under 30 Minutes
Upload the Immigration Judge's decision and receive a draft of the brief to the Board, typically in under 30 minutes. Days of research compressed into minutes — with citations checked and their status reported.
Every Citation
Accounted For
General-purpose chatbots are not built to check legal citations. ImmAppeal checks the citations it finds against our library of published decisions and delivers a verification report with your draft — you see the status of the citations it checked, including the ones it could not confirm, before anything reaches a court.

Trust & Transparency
We do not promise outcomes. These are the three things we try hardest to be plain about — and you can check each of them from this page.
Built to catch fabrication
Fabricated citations are what this product exists to catch. The citations we find in a draft are checked against our library of published decisions, and the report shows what each check came back with — confirmed, not found, or unconfirmed. A check is not a clearance: it points you where to look, it does not vouch for the brief.
See a sample reportYour case files
Files travel over TLS and rest on AES-256 encrypted volumes whose key is not stored on the server, and they are deleted whenever you ask. We do not train models on your case materials and never sell them. Generating a draft sends case text to a third-party model provider, which processes it under its own terms.
How we handle your dataNo black boxes
A draft comes with its citation report: what was checked, what it was checked against, and what came back unconfirmed. When we cannot confirm something, the report says so rather than quietly leaving it out. What the report does not cover — facts, dates, quotations, the record itself — stays yours to check.
