If your asylum application was pretermitted — dismissed before you ever had the chance to present your case — it can feel devastating. But don’t assume your situation is hopeless. You may still have options to reopen your case, depending on what went wrong.

First, we must understand why the pretermission happened.
Did you miss a required document?
Was the application filed improperly?
Was there a procedural error?

Unfortunately, many applicants who rely on notarios or unqualified assistants end up with filings that don’t meet legal requirements. Recent BIA rulings have made immigration courts even stricter about deadlines, signatures, and properly completed applications, leading to an increase in dismissals.

Before taking action, it’s critical to review your entire immigration file — every form, notice, and submission. Only then can we determine the strongest strategy to reopen your case and protect your ability to seek asylum.

Don’t let someone else’s mistake dictate your future. Get qualified legal help and take back control of your case.

If your asylum case was dismissed, reopening may be possible after reviewing the reasons for pretermission.
