How it generally works

1. We review your passport, current permit and any decision served on you.
2. We identify the right application or appeal and its deadline. Deadlines against administrative decisions are short.
3. We prepare the petition and documents and file them with the migration office or the administrative court.
4. We follow notifications throughout and take the case to a higher court where needed.

Useful documents to bring

• Passport and residence permit card, if any
• The full decision or letter served on you, and the date it was served
