The Immigration Appeals Board (UNE) has earlier this year held 20 hearings in individual cases concerning foreign nationals who arrived via Storskog border crossing to seek asylum in Norway.
The Immigration Appeals Board (UNE) has submitted a consultation statement concerning the proposed amendments to the Immigration Act (Innstramninger II) of 29 December 2015.
In December 2014, the Immigration Regulations were amended to attach more importance to children’s connection to Norway when considering whether to grant residence on humanitarian grounds.
The case was heard in a plenary session with 19 justices present. It concerned an asylum case involving internal relocation for a family from Afghanistan.
All of the deported families with children have now received an answer to their requests for reversal.
Is the child’s connection to Norway significant to the consideration of whether internal relocation is unreasonable? Is the court able to review this matter in full? These are some of the issues to be considered by the Supreme Court.
The Immigration Appeals Board (UNE) finds that there is no longer a basis for a general suspension of the duty to return to parts of Iraq.
The Immigration Appeals Board (UNE) reverses the suspension of the duty to return to Tripoli, while the suspension is upheld for other areas of Libya.
As of 21 Sept. 15, 15 deported families with children had received an answer to their requests for reversal, of whom
- four families with children have been granted a residence permit in Norway
- eleven families with children have had their applications rejected after consideration in board hearings
