Use this skill to assemble a motion to reopen or motion to reconsider a removal decision before EOIR (immigration judge or BIA), including in-absentia rescission and ineffective-assistance-of-counsel (Lozada) motions. Triggers: "motion to reopen", "motion to reconsider", "reopen my removal order", "in absentia order", "ordered removed in absentia", "missed my hearing", "didn't get notice", "changed country conditions", "Lozada", "90 day motion to reopen", "new evidence in my case".

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# EOIR — Motions to Reopen and Motions to Reconsider

> **NOT LEGAL ADVICE.** Drafting aids and checklists only — not legal advice, no
> attorney-client relationship. **These deadlines are short, numerically limited, and often
> uncurable.** A missed or mis-filed motion is frequently the last chance to act, and the
> wrong forum (IJ vs. Board) defeats the filing outright. Verify the controlling 8 CFR
> provision, the current deadline, and your court's standing orders before filing, and
> strongly consider a licensed immigration attorney or EOIR-accredited representative.

## Two motions, two jobs — do not conflate them

A **motion to reconsider** says the prior decision *got the law or facts wrong on the record
that already existed.* A **motion to reopen** says *there are new facts or evidence the
adjudicator never saw.* They have different standards, deadlines, and limits.

| | **Motion to RECONSIDER** | **Motion to REOPEN** |

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add codearranger/claude-legal/eoir-motions-to-reopen-reconsider@sha256:16786409db5c7474

The line at the top of this page pins the label v0.1.1, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
