Another Positive Decision!

Our client approached us after receiving a negative decision from the Finnish Immigration Service regarding her application for a residence permit based on employment grounds. This decision left her feeling uncertain about her future in Finland, a country where she had built both her personal and professional life. Understanding the gravity of her situation, we immediately took action to assist her in navigating the appeal process while simultaneously developing a new application to secure her residence permit.

At the time of the application, our client was juggling four part-time jobs, demonstrating her strong work ethic and dedication to contributing to the Finnish economy. However, the initial application was rejected due to concerns about her income stability and whether it met the specific financial criteria outlined by the Finnish Immigration Service. To address these issues head-on, we conducted a thorough review of her employment history and included detailed information about all her positions, hours worked, and salary structures in both the appeal and the new residence permit application.

To bolster her case, we worked closely with each of her employers, gathering documentation to confirm that her combined income from these part-time roles not only met but exceeded the guidelines set forth by the Immigration Service. This involved obtaining payslips, employment contracts, and letters of support from her employers, all of which highlighted her contributions to their businesses and the value she brought to the workforce. We emphasized her commitment to her roles and the positive impact she had on her employers and colleagues.

Our appeal to the Administrative Court was crafted meticulously, addressing all the points raised in the negative decision while ensuring that the new residence permit application was complete and compelling. We presented a comprehensive picture of our client’s situation, emphasizing her stability as a resident, her ongoing contributions to society, and the potential consequences of denying her application, which could lead to undue hardship for her and her employers.

Within just three months of submitting both our appeal and the new residence permit application, we received a favorable decision from the Finnish Immigration Service, granting our client the residence permit she needed to continue her employment and life in Finland. This outcome not only alleviated her immediate concerns but also reaffirmed her place within the Finnish community.
