Permit refusals, removal and appeals

Permit refusals, removal orders, applications to the administrative court.

The approach

Immigration litigation runs on short deadlines, sometimes forty-eight hours, and a missed deadline closes the appeal whatever its merits. The first thing examined is therefore the date the decision was served and the deadline that follows from it; the rest comes after.

An appeal is not automatically the safer route: depending on the decision challenged and the documents available, a better-prepared fresh application may succeed where an annulment would change nothing. The firm says which of the two it is taking, and why, before starting.

Matters handled

  • Appeals against refusal to issue or renew a permit
  • Challenges to an obligation to leave French territory (OQTF)
  • Urgent applications for suspension and for protection of a fundamental freedom
  • Challenges to a re-entry ban or a residence order
  • Appeals against a visa refusal, before the commission and then the court
  • Applications for reconsideration and regularisation after a refusal
