Appeals
Appeals against refusals of residence and work permits
A rejection from the immigration authorities does not have to be the end of your case. Many rejections are due to insufficient documentation, misunderstandings, or incorrect legal assessment. At NMD Law Group, appeals are a central part of our work. We thoroughly analyze the rejection, assess your options, and prepare a legally sound appeal or request for reconsideration—with a focus on turning the case in your favor.
We take control of the appeal case and handle your case all the way to the end
An appeal requires more than just dissatisfaction with the decision. We ensure that your appeal is based on specific legal circumstances and documented errors in the decision.
Here are some typical examples of how we can help:
✓ Legal review of the rejection
✓ Identification of errors, omissions, or misunderstandings
✓ Assessment of appeals vs. reopening
✓ Drafting of appeal
✓ Dialogue with immigration authorities
✓ Handling of party hearings and requests
✓ Supplementary documentation
✓ Ongoing follow-up until decision
Entry bans and errors in SIS registrations
A Schengen entry ban or an incorrect registration in the SIS system can have serious consequences for your ability to travel, work, or visit family in Europe. In many cases, however, it is possible to have the ban reduced or completely lifted.
We provide assistance in situations such as:
✓ A Schengen entry ban has been issued (typically 2 years)
✓ Errors have occurred in SIS reports
✓ Stay or visa has been exceeded by a few days
✓ The decision is based on misunderstandings or incomplete information
Our assistance includes:
✓ Legal handling of entry bans throughout the Schengen area
✓ Request for deletion or correction of erroneous SIS records
✓ Assessment of proportionality and mitigating circumstances
✓ Dialogue with relevant authorities
✓ Drafting legal requests and appeals
We always conduct a concrete legal assessment of the case and provide honest advice about the options available. Many entry bans and registrations can be challenged, but this requires precise argumentation and correct documentation.
