Legal Advice

From March 2022 we will again be offering face-to-face advice.

What we do: 

We give advice on many questions regarding German asylum law such as the general asylum procedure, work permits, family unification, questions regarding your residence status and perspectives, the Dublin procedure (including appeals), the refugee status and subsidiary protection status (including appeals) as well as information when your application for asylum has been rejected.

What we do not do: 

We cannot give advice in criminal law, civil law, very urgent matters and urgent deadlines. We also cannot represent you before courts and we do not handle appeals regarding asylum applications that have been denied as inadmissible or unsubstantiated.

If you’re not sure if we can help with your concern, please do not hesitate to contact us!
