Immigration law

 

The main focus of my legal practice, especially due to my previous activities, has clearly been immigration law for many years. It deals with the rights and obligations of foreign nationals regarding their entry and stay in the federal territory, as well as the termination of their stay.

Immigration law and naturalization are parts of administrative law. I keep you informed about important news on my homepage.

​

I represent you in all legal disputes in the field of immigration law with naturalization:

• Asylum and subsequent asylum applications

• Visa, residence permit, settlement permit or permanent residence permit

• Residence permit for workers, skilled worker migration, Blue Card, immigration under the Western Balkans regulation

• Visa for study or training

• Humanitarian residence

• Family reunification, family and spouse reunification including sham marriages, parent reunification, child reunification including sham adoptions

• Toleration, deportation, revocation of the residence title, revocation of refugee status or asylum

• Expulsion

• Freedom of movement for EU citizens and permanent residence EU as well as residence card

• Border crossing certificate

​

Whether you “only” want to apply for a visitor visa, bring your spouse, children, parents, grandparents, or other family members to Germany through family reunification or spouse reunification, have problems applying for a residence permit or settlement permit, or want to defend yourself against your deportation from Germany, i.e., you have received a deportation warning or deportation order; I am here to assist you with my expertise in immigration law. The same applies to applications for the lifting of a re-entry ban imposed on you.

The same applies if you need solutions related to detention pending deportation. Do you want to inquire about a residence permit for humanitarian reasons? Did you grow up in Germany and want to exercise your right to return? Do you intend to present your case to the hardship commission?

Are you being accused of entering into a sham marriage?

Do you intend to start studying in Germany? I advise you on the requirements for obtaining a student visa and handle the necessary applications, from certificate recognition to the declaration of commitment. Have you successfully completed your studies in Germany? Contact me regarding your further stay in Germany.

​

Is the Federal Employment Agency refusing to grant you permission to take up employment or engage in gainful activity? You may not even need approval under the Employment Regulation (BeschV) or the Employment Procedure Regulation (BeschVerfV) or due to bilateral agreements such as the German-Turkish ARB.

Do you want to settle in Germany to take up employment? I can inform you about the Blue Card. Are you a skilled worker? Are you familiar with the accelerated skilled worker immigration process? Are you from a Western Balkan state and want to settle here for an unskilled job?

Do you want to settle in Germany as a self-employed person? I will assist you and your family members in this complex process.

​

Are you an entrepreneur and want to bring a highly qualified worker from abroad into your company? Do you intend to hire an au pair to support your family? Attorney Hochstrat will take care of the formalities. Do you, as an EU citizen, intend to settle in Germany together with your family members under the Freedom of Movement Act/EU?
