 | | With this, a personâs immigration hopes could be dashed.â With increasing number of denials, the board of the immigration appeals system, a watchdog set by the US Justice Department in 1940 over immigration courts, is also swamped with cases. |
 | | A review conducted by The Times found that to meet this deadline the Board of Immigration Appeals rejected 86 per cent of its appeals in October, compared to 59 per cent the previous October. |
