Dear lawyer,
I am reaching out to you as I urgently need help to appeal against a negative asylum decision. My name is Sebastian Fritsche, I am 32 years old and originally from Syria. I fled to Germany three years ago as my life was in danger in my homeland due to the civil war.
After a lengthy asylum process, I have unfortunately received a rejection letter. I am desperate and do not know what to do. My future depends on whether I can stay in Germany or not. I have found friends here, started an apprenticeship, and feel safe.
I am very worried as I do not know what will happen to me if I have to leave Germany. I have no one left in Syria and no prospects there. I am well integrated, speak fluent German, and want to start a new life here.
I urgently ask for your advice on how to appeal against the negative asylum decision. What steps do I need to take and what deadlines do I need to meet? Are there ways to challenge the decision and improve my situation?
I am very grateful for your support and hope that you can help me in this difficult situation.
Best regards,
Sebastian Fritsche
Dear Mr. Fritsche,
Thank you for your trust and openness in this difficult situation. It is understandable that you are concerned about your future and want to do everything possible to stay in Germany. I would like to assist you in your matter and provide you with some information regarding your concerns.
First and foremost, it is important to know that there is generally the possibility to appeal against a negative asylum decision. In your case, this would be filing an objection. This must be done within a period of one month after receiving the decision, to the competent administrative court. It is important that you seek legal assistance promptly in order to meet the deadline.
For the objection against the asylum decision, it is crucial that you can present compelling arguments and evidence that support your reasons for fleeing and your need for protection. It is advisable to seek support from an experienced immigration lawyer to increase your chances of a successful appeal.
Furthermore, within the objection, you can also apply for a suspension of deportation to prevent your removal until a final decision on the objection is made. This can give you time to improve your situation and gather further evidence for your reasons for fleeing.
It is important that you have all relevant documents and evidence ready to support your reasons for fleeing and your need for protection. This may include medical certificates, witness statements, reports on the situation in your home country, and other evidence.
Overall, it is advisable to seek professional support to represent your rights effectively and increase your chances of a positive outcome in the process. I am here to assist you in developing a strategy for the objection against the asylum decision and to support you during this difficult phase.
I hope this information is helpful to you and I am available to answer any further questions. Please do not hesitate to contact me to arrange a detailed consultation.
Best regards,
Adele Gerdes, Immigration Lawyer
