Refusal – what happens then?

Refusal means that your asylum application has been refused. You cannot stay in Sweden.

Meeting about the refusal decision


Your parents will be called to a meeting at the Swedish Migration Board if your asylum application has been refused. If you and your parents want you to, you can attend this meeting. During the meeting you will receive help understanding the content of the decision. Whether your parents appeal the decision or not, you will be summoned to the Swedish Migration Board to talk about your situation and your thoughts about the future.

If my parents accept the decision – what should they do then?


They can say that they accept the decision. This is called declaration of acceptance and means that your parents don´t want to appeal the decision. Your parents cannot take back a declaration of acceptance.

Can we appeal a refusal?


Your parents can appeal the decision if they think that your situation has not been assessed correctly, if you have something to add or if something important has been missed. Your parents will then appeal the decision in a Migration Court.
 

What does appeal mean?


Appeal means that your parents write to an authority or court to say that they don´t agree with what the authority or court has decided. Your parents want the authority or court to change the decision.
