Submitting a reconsideration request requires careful preparation, as it is not a new application but a request for immigration authorities to review a previous decision. Applicants must ensure that strong grounds exist, such as errors in fact, overlooked documents, or new information that was not considered earlier. Timing is also critical—requests should be made promptly after receiving the decision. Supporting evidence, clear explanations, and properly drafted submissions are essential to strengthen the case. Applicants should also understand that reconsideration is at the discretion of immigration officers, and the request must demonstrate fairness and merit to be successful.
