BIA Announces Email Notification Service/Telephone Information Line/Citations Guidelines

The EOIR offers an email notification service for Attorney General and BIA Precedent Decisions. On occasion, EOIR will use the Listserv to provide new information of particular interest to its subscribers.

The following was in a recent email notification.

The Board has added two new appendices to the BIA Practice Manual:

Appendix I, "Telephonic Information," is a handy reference to the two telephonic information lines maintained by EOIR.  Recently renamed, ASQ is the 800 number for pending case information, and BIA TIPS is the filing information line for appeals and motions before the Board.

Appendix J, "Citations Guidelines," advises the public on how best to cite cases, laws, regulations, and other authorities when filing an appeal, motion, or brief with the Board.  This Appendix contains both citation guidelines and examples of frequently cited sources of law
