New regulation: Renewed invitation to the BAMF

Since the beginning of 2018 the BAMF has been sending out invitations to refugees for interviews. Since december these invitations have had an obligatory character. But what does that mean?

Since the beginning of 2018 the BAMF has been sending out invitations to refugees for voluntaray talks. In these talks it will be examined ehether the refugee status should continue to exist. Ind addition, the identify of the refugee will be checked again. However, participation had no legal consequences. This has changed since december 2018: Pursuant to § 73 Abs. 3a S. 1 AsylG the invitation now has a binding character.

The following is now mandatory:

  • to provide the BAMF with the necessary oral, and upon request, written information
  • the ganting of the passport (replacement)
  • the presentation / handing over / handing over of all necessary documents/ certificates from the home country
  • assistance in obtaining identity documents, unless a valid passport or passport replacement is available
  • toleration of the prescribed identification measures

It is important that you read through your minutes of the hearing (transcript of the interview) before your appointment. You may be questioned about this. If you have been granted a residence permit by a court case, please also read the protocol again. A question can also be asked about this.

Very important:
Whoever does not show up for the appointment after the written invitation may be fined:

  1. A fine or even a prison sentence or
  2. the BAMF decides again on your refugee stauts - possibly without the individual reasons for flight that are necessary for recognition as a refugee. In extreme cases, the residence permit can be withdrawn if the situation in the home country has changed in the opinion of the BAMF.

alvivi would like to thank the people of VG Freinsheim e.V. for the contribution.
