Abstract: A party may file a motion to reopen and/or reconsider a
decision by the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA or Board) in a case
which was initially adjudicated by a Department of Homeland Security
(DHS) Officer. See 8 CFR 1003.2(b), 1003.2(c)(1). The party must
complete this new form and submit it to the DHS office having
administrative control over the record of proceeding in order to file a
motion to reopen and/or reconsider these Board decisions. EOIR
developed the new Form EOIR-29A to elicit, in a uniform manner, all of
the required information for the BIA to process a motion to reopen and/
or reconsider upon receipt from DHS. The form collects the following
information: name and mailing address of beneficiary, petitioner,
applicant, carrier, and/or individual; alien registration number (A-
number); receipt number; and fine number. The form also requires the
respondent to identify the type of motion being filed (motion to
reopen, motion to reconsider, or both) and date of the Board decision
subject to reconsideration or reopening. Respondents must attach to the
form any written motion and supporting documents. Finally, form
respondents must sign and date the form.
