As a reminder, the new BIA "Procedural Reform" regulations go into effect on this Wednesday, September 25, 2002. You may file an optional supplemental statement or brief for any case that was pending on August 26, 2002 explaining why your case is appropriate for three-member panel review. The regulations say that the supplement may be filed until September 25, 2002 or the expiration of any briefing schedule set by the BIA. See 67 FR 54878, 54905 (Aug. 26, 2002). The BIA published a memo that describes the format for the supplement. To view the memo, click on the "PDF Resources" section to the right. If you plan to send this supplement, you should send it to the BIA Clerk's Office at the following address:

If sending by messenger service or overnight/express delivery: Board of Immigration Appeals Clerk's Office 5201 Leesburg Pike, Suite 1300 Falls Church, VA 22041

Please note: the letterhead in the BIA's memo referenced above does not provide the appropriate address for mailing the supplement. The supplement should go to the Clerk's Office.
