Dear lawyer,
My name is Ben Klinger and I have an important question regarding my asylum application. I entered the country a few months ago and applied for asylum as I was persecuted in my home country. Now I have learned that my asylum application has been rejected and I must leave the country.
This situation is causing me great concern as I do not know what will happen to me when I have to leave the country. I have no family or friends here and no financial means to return to my home country. I am very worried about my safety and my future.
I wonder what will happen if my asylum application is rejected and I have to leave the country. How can I prepare for this and what are my rights in this situation? Are there ways to challenge the negative decision or to apply for another residency permit? I would be very grateful if you could help me in this difficult situation.
Thank you in advance.
Sincerely,
Ben Klinger
Dear Mr. Klinger,
First of all, I would like to say that I can understand your concerns and fears in this difficult situation. It is understandable that the rejection of your asylum application and the associated threat of deportation are causing you great uncertainty and fear. It is important for you to know that you have certain rights in this situation and there are ways to challenge the rejection of your asylum application.
If your asylum application has been rejected and you are being asked to leave the country, you should first seek qualified legal advice in immigration law. An experienced lawyer can help you review the rejection of your asylum application and, if necessary, challenge it. There is the possibility to file a lawsuit in the administrative court to contest the rejection of your asylum application. In this process, you have the opportunity to explain in detail your reasons for fleeing and persecution in your home country and argue why you need protection.
It is also important to know that in certain cases, a temporary suspension (Duldung) or another residence permit may be possible even if your asylum application has been rejected. This may be the case, for example, if you can present health reasons that make a return to your home country impossible. If you have found education or employment, this could also be a reason for another residence permit.
It is advisable to seek legal advice as soon as possible to clarify your options and rights in this situation. Even though the situation is difficult and causing you great worry, there is professional help and support available to assist you during this challenging time.
I hope that this information is helpful to you and wish you all the best in this difficult situation.
Sincerely,
Adele Gerdes
