What is asylum law
Are you or do you know an asylum seeker? We understand that you are dealing with many uncertainties about the future, and that this raises many questions for you.
• Are you unsafe in your country of origin and do you want to submit an asylum application?
• Has your asylum application been granted, but has the request to bring your family to the Netherlands been rejected?
• Are you an asylum seeker who has exhausted all legal means and would you like to look at new possibilities?
• Is your asylum application not processed because another country is responsible for handling the application?
• Does the Immigration and Naturalization Service (IND) intend to withdraw your residence permit?
• Have you been arrested in the context of immigration detention?
• Has an entry ban or a declaration of undesirability been imposed on you and do you want to challenge it?
Contact us for FREE and submit your question(s) to us. Please pay attention to the deadline if you have received a decision. You usually have to act against a decision in just a few weeks! If the period has expired, in most cases the decision is legally established and has become inviolable.
Would you like to know more about the course of the asylum procedure, the Dublinprocedure or your rights, obligations and options as asylum seekers who have exhausted all legal remedies? Read more about this on our website under “Asylum law – The asylum procedure“, “Asylum law – The Dublin claim: another country is responsible” or “Asylum law – Litigated“.

CAN WE ALWAYS HELP YOU?
Frequently asked questions: Asylum law
Every first conversation is always FREE and without obligation. We make an initial assessment and, if necessary, take over the administrative burden from you.
We mainly work on the basis of funded legal aid: if your income and assets are below a certain limit, the government pays a lot cases your lawyer fees. You only have to pay a small personal contribution, which depends on your income. If you have a benefit, you are almost always eligible for funded legal aid. More information and current income and wealth standards can be found at www.rvr.org .
Application phase A decision must be made within a 'reasonable period': in any case within eight weeks after the application, unless the period is suspended by the government because, for example, you still have to provide information. It may also be the case that specific deadlines apply to certain applications: applications to the Immigration and Naturalization Service (usually) have periods of 90 days and even six months.
Objection phase This applies within six weeks must be decided (in an advisory committee 12 weeks), which term can also be extended by another six weeks. Again, different times may apply on a case-by-case basis. For example, the Immigration and Naturalization Service sometimes uses different terms, such as 19 weeks for objections to regular applications.
Appeals and Appeals Phase During these phases, the duration can increase enormously, depending on when there is an opportunity to schedule a hearing. If it concerns a large criminal case, the duration can amount to a year or even two. If it concerns a case on appeal against a benefit, this can also amount to more than a year's waiting period.
