The Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) is the highest administrative body for interpreting and applying immigration laws. It is a judicial agency within the Executive Office for Immigration Review, part of the Department of Justice (accountable to the Attorney General) which reviews case decisions of immigration judges that have been appealed by one of the parties to the case. The majority of appeals to the Board relate to decisions on removal and exclusion. The Board is also responsible for recognition of organizations and accreditation of member attorneys who wish to practice immigration law before the Bureau of Citizenship and Immigration Services and the Immigration Courts.
Citizenship and Immigration Services Offices

These offices receive and adjudicate petitions for change of status to or extension of nonimmigrant visa categories, family and employment based petitions leading to immigrant visas, petitions for adjustment of status to lawful permanent residence and petitions for naturalization. They also investigate violations of immigration laws, pursue the removal of aliens thought to have violated those laws, if warranted, provide for the detention of aliens, and manage the removal of persons found to have committed removable offenses as defined by immigration law. The Bureau of Citizenship and Immigration Services (CIS) is part of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
Administrative law courts in the United States that handle removal proceedings of foreign nationals. The courts receive and adjudicate applications for immigration benefits in the context of removal proceedings and try individuals who are accused of violations of immigration law.
