Rarely has an immigration law operation made so much headlines: before Gundula B. (40) and Hamza U. (26) could take their vows, the Kurdish-born man was arrested. His deportation flight will leave on Tuesday evening.
Ten days before the wedding, the Kurd, who has lived in Austria since 2022 and has not yet completed military service in his home country, received a negative asylum decision. If he had said yes to his German partner, whom he met in the company of his uncle, who had lived in this country for years, he would have immediately received a residence permit.
Eviction on Tuesday evening?
Now, according to media reports, Hamza U. will be deported on Tuesday evening. Such a deportation would be ‘illegal’, as his lawyer Gregor Bracket emphasized to the ‘press’. The Federal Office for Immigration and Asylum (BFA) did not provide details of the procedure on Monday – for data protection reasons, as highlighted.
However, “illegally resident persons” must “be clear about their unsafe stay in Austria and that a mere marriage does not change their insecure residence status with all its consequences.”
“All aspects checked”
“Before any deportation, the BFA carefully examines all relevant aspects of private and family life in each individual case as part of an official refoulement check,” it further said in a written statement.
This “ensures that any changes in private and family life are taken into account”. It was also emphasized that “there is no legal provision that makes an arrest at the civil registry inadmissible.” The lawyer nevertheless filed a complaint against the deportation.
