If we didn’t already have enough proof that Reagan is a callous ass, this man whips out a bottle of champagne so his new client can celebrate filing for divorce without even considering that… he might not actually feel positively about that 🙄

#choices surrender #choices #choices stories you play #playchoices #choices app #and ik there’s a point to that of course bc I vaguely remember something about Reagan not really believing in marriage anymore #but damn you’d still think he’d be able to show some sort of compassion considering he’s supposed to be a top divorce lawyer #then again I’m not surprised though bc he did proposition MC with the handcuffs she saw her cheating spouse using so 😐 #pixelberry studios #pixelberry

A shaking hand runs through her mane of blonde hair pushing the tresses away from her face, as a long breath escapes through plush tiers. “Look I just-” Voice stops as if Kali needs another moment to gather her thoughts, “This can’t happen again do you understand?” Icy orbs moving back up to their face, “A one time lapse in judgement.”

High-five to Monotasker

Today is Monotasker’s comp Friday (Friday off) and I have an all-morning to mid-afternoon CLE webinar and then am going to see Wakanda Forever this afternoon with @alaric-greyson (my first movie in over two years) and he’s just been the best taking care of Peanut all day! Peanut woke up at 3:30am (which is rare, she usually sleeps through the night) and he quietly read to her and gave her a bottle and she went back to sleep until 7am! And then he took us out to breakfast!! And then he’s been taking Peanut all day so that I can watch this boring Webinar - while still managing to do some yardwork and run errands (Peanut loves running errands)!!! And totally was cool with me ditching him to go to a movie!!!! I realize that none of these things seem like THAT big a deal but it’s a huge load off my back for the day and this is HIS day off.  Anyway, he’s not even on Tumblr anymore but consider this a virtual high-give to him. I have also thanked him in real life too but sometimes celebrating even the small things is important. ETA: I really cannot emphasize enough how boring this CLE is because, among other things, it is an “annual update of the law” but it covers ALL areas of law including many areas of law I just do not practice. In my *secondary* state of practice. Bar Associations are such a freaking racket y’all. My secondary Bar requires you register for the Bar AND with the State separately AND complete CLEs most of which, of course, are run by the Bar, which charges you for the CLEs they require you to take. It’s not that I’m opposed to continuing legal education but it would be nice if at least it felt like I didn’t spend all my time in CLEs learning things I will *never* use in my own practice. And since my secondary Bar is a small state, most CLEs in other states don’t bother getting approved as an official CLE for said state, so that would be even more paperwork I have to do to get credit. So, of course, instead I just end up doing THEIR CLEs.  As I said, such a racket.

#about me #Monotasker is my spouse if that is not clear #the nickname is because he is terrible at multitasking #so him taking Peanut for the day also means he's having to multitask #without complaint! #lawyering #grown up brags? #Also because I suck at remembering to file paperwork I always end up having to pay fees for being late in registering or entering my CLEs #Which is MY fault but its just feels like an endless series of charges and fees just to be admitted in the state #And it is ALL designed to try to keep lawyers from the neighboring states from practicing in this state #Like - it should absolutely be an antitrust violation

Why does it take hours to write the appeal? What's in the appeal? What's the "asylum agency", are they lawyers as well?

The "asylum agency" are the Bundesamt für Migration und Flüchtlinge (BAMF for short), it's the German Federal department for (among other things) vetting asylum claims. There are a lot of lawyers (as in, Juristen = people with a law degree) working there, but it's a normal administration job.

Basically in the German asylum system you first fill out an "Asylantrag" (asylum claim). In this you say where you come from and why you think you should be entitled to protection in Germany (both actual asylum - which refers to people who are personally persecuted - as well as subsidiary protection, which applies to people fleeing from general humanitarian disasters such as war).

Then the BAMF checks your asylum claim. Here is a very good English-language longform article by the Atlantic detailing how the BAMF works and what methods they use. Then they make a decision (Bescheid), which either accepts or rejects the claim (appealing it means you refuse to accept their ruling and try to overturn it).

There's TONS of problems with this. Even legitimate refugees often don't tell the truth or do so in a way that is contradictory bc we're talking about usually super traumatized ppl getting like half an hour to tell the absolute worst and often most intimate parts of their lives to a total stranger and THEN these total strangers judge whether they believe that or not.

And they can be super and I mean SUPER unfair about this. For example for the guy whose appeal I wrote today (let's call him F.), he was asked to describe his situation and he said he knew three other gay guys in his city, that they were the only people who knew about his sexuality and that they all were still closeted and still in Iraq. He gives detailed descriptions their meet-ups, their conversations, generally how they lived (it's literally all in the hearing transcript). The interviewer asked for their names. F. said their first names. The interviewer asked for their full names. F. said he doesn't know them.

In the Bescheid, it says among other things "F. was unable to give details including basic information such as names about the people who supposedly were members of the social group of people who shared his oppression. True accounts of persecution are often characterised by the fact that they are very detailed. His claim is therefore not substantiated."

We're talking about an 18-year old gay kid who just fled a country where he legitimately feared for his life because of his sexuality and who basically had to keep this part of himself secret his whole life, in a conversation with a complete stranger in a position of authority. Of course the fact that he didn't give the full names of his closest friends who still lived in that country in that situation must mean he's lying.

It also says it's contradictory and therefore unbelievable that the father would inform another family member about his son's sexuality because the fact that this would bring dishonor to the family means the father would have kept it a secret. (The "conversation" was the father convincing other male family members to join in and kill him - something which happens regularly in the country if you read up on literally any source dealing with LGBT Iraqis - often even clerics get involved to issue fatwas against them).

All in all, even if he was gay, he should have considered living anonymously in a different part of Iraq rather than come to Germany.

And what takes hours is to dig up reputable and up-to-date sources detailing the status of gay men in Iraq (Here is a heartbreaking report by Human Rights Watch btw), especially concerning the different regions of Iraq (Iraqi Kurdistan for example is considered more liberal when it comes to religion, so religious minorities from Iraq just get told to move to Iraqi Kurdistan instead. However, this does NOT apply to sexuality).

Then you try to pad that with other German court decisions abt gay men in Iraq (unfortunately it's mostly lower administrative court decisions, which don't hold much weight - but the VAST majority of them accept gay men from Iraq as legitimate refugees. There's also an ECJ ruling that says gay refugees can not be expected to hide their sexuality in their country of origin, as that would not be expected of straight refugees either and therefore would be discrimination, that's why his chances are quite good bc the Bescheid literally expected that of him) The LSVD has a REALLY great compilation for all sort of different countries of origin.

And then you have to take apart the whole bullshit Bescheid, point out the logical flaws, add other stuff the refugee told you and try to come with proofs for that etc.

It takes A LOT of work.

#also you cant believe what kind of total bullshit sometimes gets written just to keep people out #the absolutely dumbest thing i ever saw was not asylum but spousal-visa related #it was abt ppl from a west african nation who got married in that nation #only to realise fun fact germany automatically assumes all documents from developing countries to be fake #even and especially if its official documents #so it didnt recognize the marriage certificate #and instead started ~verification proceedings via the embassy #(who im pretty sure has no other job except to try and keep ppl out) #they hired a lawyer to ~interview family members - he showed up unannounced at their house at 10 am on a workday #and when the neighbor informed him that the family members were at work and where they worked #he went back home and wrote that family members were not available for interview #so then the embassy wrote they believed its a fake marriage possibly between family members #who seemed to be in on not cooperating in the investigation #(the SECRET investigation which consisted of showing up announced at their house ONCE during work hours) #and that they assume the people were not spouses at all #rather family members #what compelling piece of evidence did they base this completely fucking bogus claim on? #the spouses had the same last name! #EXCEPT THE VAST MAJORITY OF MARRIAGES IN THAT COUNTRY INCLUDING THIS ONE #WAS INTRA-CLAN MARRIAGE #SURNAMES WERE INTRODUCED BY THE COLONISING POWER AND GUESS WHAT THEY JUST BASED THEM ON #if you guessed clan affiliation congratulations #you understand why the vast majority of marriages take place between ppl who had the same surname even before marriage #something which you could find out literally with one google search #or one conversation with anyone from that country #this still took like 2.5 YEARS to resolve

Unlocking Success: How to Avoid the Top 3 UK Spouse Visa Refusal Reasons

Refusals can bring you down! Especially when it is a UK Spouse Visa Refusal. The thought of continuing to be away from your partner when your UK visa application to join them is refused can be disheartening. Particularly when you find that it was totally avoidable and taking some measures in advance could have saved the day.

Generally, when a UK Spouse Visa Application is refused, the notice includes the reasons for refusal, however this may not always be self-explanatory.

👉🏻 The Top 3 Spouse Visa Refusal Reasons

Not providing the supporting/required documentation

According to the UK immigration rules, you are required to provide specific documents mentioned in the application as well as any other supporting documents like a bank statement, proof of identity, etc.

Some basic but mandatory documentation requirements are

Marriage certificate

Evidence that any previous relationship has ended

National Insurance, Aadhaar Card number

Details of accommodation arranged in the UK

Bank statements of the applicant or the sponsor (partner who is in the UK) that prove you can meet the minimum financial requirement

Sponsor’s (partner who is in the UK) British passport or documents proving Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR)

These are some important requirements, among many. If you fail to provide any form of evidence, your application is likely to be refused.

Non-disclosure of criminal records

The UK Immigration rules state that – “Immigration applications are required to disclose all offences and consequent penalties both in the UK and overseas, in addition to other relevant information about their conduct, character and associates. Application forms make clear to applicants where they must disclose this information and that failure to declare it may lead to refusal of the application” It can be tempting to conceal details of any civil or criminal cases, cautions or judgements as one doesn’t want to prejudice their application. However, the applicant must declare all convictions, police cautions on your application no matter how trivial

Not providing adequate evidence for the relationship

Immigration officers are trained to find any spots or signs of fraudulent activities or sham marriages. Hence, you need to ensure your application does not signal any reason for suspicion. To provide as much information as you can about your relationship.

Conclusion: UK Spouse Visa Refusal Reasons

Is your UK Spouse Visa Application Refused? Don’t worry, you can get it right this time.

If you think you meet the requirements of a UK spouse visa and are considering applying for the same or have had your UK spouse visa application refused – it would be worth getting advice and assistance from UK visa experts who have a proven track record of managing cases (no matter how complex) successfully.
