Migration law (formerly: Aliens Law) forms the basis for all matters of foreign persons within the territory of the Federal Republic of Germany. This includes, in particular, the course of asylum procedures, legal issues regarding labor migration in companies and among skilled workers, as well as the legal consequences of criminal offenses, sham marriages, or deportations.
Due to its extensive connections to other areas of law, particularly administrative and criminal law, asylum and migration law is of paramount importance. It is characterized by constant and rapid changes to laws and administrative regulations. In addition to German law, European Union law and the case law of the European Court of Justice are also of increasing relevance for the assessment of migration law issues.
Asylum and migration law encompasses various aspects of numerous legal areas. The individual life paths of refugees and asylum seekers often require consideration of the legal systems of other European countries (especially the Dublin III Regulation). The situation is not necessarily clearer in German law either. The most important legal sources regarding asylum law are, in addition to Article 16a of the Basic Law (GG) the Residence Act (Residence Act) and the Asylum Act (AsylG). For EU citizens, the European Union Freedom of Movement Act (FreizügG/EU) are important. These regulations contain numerous provisions on the recognition of asylum seekers, the granting of a residence permit, the so-called toleration of deportation, and deportation. In addition, other administrative regulations and laws are often relevant in individual cases. Particularly in the area of toleration, the Law on toleration of residence for training and employment which enables a reliable residence status through long-term toleration.
The possibilities for linking it to other areas of law are as diverse as the applicable norms. While asylum law is primarily concerned with constitutional and general administrative law, there are significant overlaps with the Dublin procedure, European law. Often, the right of residence is also linked to criminal law. In such situations, it is advisable to quickly seek the advice of a lawyer in order to negative effects to avoid possible ongoing asylum procedures.
The number of parties and institutions involved can be just as complex as the legal foundations of asylum and residence law. In addition to administrative authorities, numerous other public bodies at the municipal level, as well as the police, can quickly become involved. In addition to the administration, private associations or initiatives can also play a role in the asylum process.
My legal advice covers all relevant questions and issues relating to asylum and residence law. First, I clarify which law applies in each case. This allows for early removal of obstacles that would otherwise slow down and complicate the process.
My support particularly concerns questions:
My goal is to develop the right solution for you. I represent your interests professionally and vigorously. My utmost attention, especially in this area of law, is devoted to protecting and safeguarding my clients' interests. As a lawyer, I have extensive experience in the field of immigration law and keep up with current changes.
Family reunification – what happens to loved ones
My work also extends to family reunification issues. I will check for you whether the requirements for family reunification are met and whether a residence permit can be obtained.
I will also inform you about the consequences of expulsion and deportation and work with you to develop a strategy to avert their consequences. I will represent you and your family members in the appeal before the administrative court.
Should criminal law arise, I also represent my clients in these cases. When it comes to questions about illegal entry, it is important to assess the legal situation precisely to avoid greater damage. Although illegal entry is not covered by the Criminal Code, but rather by Section 14 of the Residence Act If it is regulated by the Residence Act, it constitutes a criminal offense (Section 95 of the Residence Act). The options for defending yourself against this are far more limited than in the case of mere administrative action by an authority. Therefore, I recommend acting early and consulting a lawyer. The same applies to all questions and problems that may arise in connection with sham marriages and the smuggling of foreigners into the Federal Republic.
Even as a migrant or asylum seeker, you have rights. I advocate for your presumption of innocence.
Within the framework of EU law, I advise my clients on a wide range of issues:
After five years of residence, EU citizens and their family members are granted the right of permanent residence. I am happy to assist you with any questions you may have, such as verifying whether you meet the requirements or asserting your right with authorities.
Labor migration as an opportunity
In addition, I provide advice on all issues related to labor migration. The immigration of skilled workers has become a significant economic factor. This makes it all the more important for all parties involved to ensure legal certainty. I see myself as a lawyer and partner for companies in the region.
My services include reviewing various types of residence permits: visas, residence permits, settlement permits, permanent residence permits, and the EU Blue Card, a residence permit for university graduates. I also handle the recognition of professional qualifications acquired abroad. I also provide support in obtaining visas for study purposes and regular work visas.
Asylum and migration law is a multifaceted area of law that requires comprehensive knowledge of current case law. Cases are constantly being retried in the courts. For example, the Higher Administrative Court (OVG) in Bautzen recently ruled that a Georgian family with roots in the country should not be deported for the time being. At least two of the children, who attend German schools, are entitled to a temporary suspension of deportation. The court therefore ordered the Free State of Saxony to repatriate the family.
The Berlin Administrative Court (VG) also made a decision in an urgent case. The court ruled that Afghan local workers must be admitted to Germany. As long as their lives are in constant danger, the German authorities have no discretion.
