It depends. In some cases it is just better to reapply. Moreover, you must have valid grounds to reopen the case.

Your question requires an attorney consultation. It is not a simple question that can be answered on this type of forum. There are many factors that would need to be considered and evaluated. Why was the I-130 denied? What were the grounds for the appeal? I strongly suggest that you contact an experienced immigration attorney for a face-to-face consultation and give him/her all of the facts surrounding your situation. He/she would then be in a better position to analyze your case and advise you of your options.

You should hire an immigration attorney to review the files. It may be too late to reopen the old case.
