The United States Citizen and Immigration Services is empowered to review and approve applications for citizenship. In cases where an applicant is denied their request for citizenship, the applicant is given the right to contest the decision in an administrative proceeding. Administrative proceedings are hearings that do not take place in a courtroom and are managed internally by specific governmental agencies.

In immigration cases, it is important that a client select an attorney that is knowledgeable about the regulations governing immigration law. In addition to the codified regulations, attorneys must also be aware of the many non-legislative rules that may be applied to administrative immigration proceedings. The adjudication of an immigration benefit is a highly regimented process that necessitates the serious attention of an experienced attorney to ensure that all procedural steps are followed to maximize the likelihood of a positive outcome.
