Fighting Deportation and Defending Family Life in Finland!

Our client came to us after receiving a negative decision from the Finnish Immigration Service, which denied a residence permit based on family ties with a Finnish citizen spouse and issued an order for deportation and a four-year Schengen entry ban. The decision was based on the client’s past criminal convictions and lack of a valid travel document.

Despite the seriousness of the case, we immediately took action and appealed the decision to the Administrative Court. We emphasized our client’s established family life in Finland, including a young child who is a Finnish citizen, and argued that deportation and separation from the family would be contrary to both national and international legal standards protecting the right to family life and the best interests of the child.

After careful consideration, the Administrative Court ruled in favor of our arguments and returned the case to the Finnish Immigration Service for re-evaluation. The court emphasized that the client’s situation falls under the scope of EU law due to family ties with Finnish and EU citizens, and that the Immigration Service must reassess the matter with a focus on the rights of the child and the family unit.

This is a powerful example of how determined legal representation can change the course of a case, even in complex and sensitive situations.

We are proud to have defended our client’s rights and supported the unity of their family in Finland. If you or someone you know is facing deportation or the denial of a residence permit, especially due to past legal issues, do not hesitate to contact us.
