Once the information is reviewed, the individual is invited into the room for discussion. Because it is a formal hearing, the proceedings will be taped for record keeping purposes. The individual will present their case, questions will be asked and the individual will be excused. A decision will be made and the individual will be notified in writing.
3. If the request is denied at the Residency Appeals level, the next step is in a legal court of law.
