Immigration lawyer fees by kosanne

Hello, I applied for my belgian nationality, but it was not accepted. So I have appealed and I am looking for an immigration lawyer for my case. How much will it cost me? Anyone who has worked with an immigration lawyer before?

ZazaBE

ALTEA lawyer firm should be very good, specialized in immigration law, they advised me for my case, though I did not need to hire them further. Did they reject you for some minor issues, or it is a bigger deal? Read More

Family Reunification Visa Rejected. How long does an appeal take? by yourbroUK

Hi, I'm a Pakistani in Belgium now for 4 years. I've been working for almost 2 years now. My spouse's family reunification visa application was rejected due to incomplete documents. So it probably doesn't make sense to appeal that ...

ZazaBE

You can always apply again with complete documentation this time, right? Or add the missing documents into the appeal? In any case, I always think the appeal is worth doing. Read More

Family reunification denied, partner already working. by MaryRead

Hello! I am an EU member trying to get an F card for my non EU partner (we have been together 7 years). Already did the whole family reunification process and we have our appointment for the result soon. What would happen if it were to be denied? ...

ZazaBE

Does he have a work permit or he is working on his orange card? I don't get these processes so well, so maybe the question is silly. If he has his work permit, this should be non-related to his F card application, then he has the right to be ... Read More

ZazaBE

I completely understand your stress. The problem here is whichever new employer you find, you might end up with the same issue with the paperwork. In other words, every new employer will have to wait for you to get that bijlage before you can start ... Read More
