Right of stay for Lebanese family: Hardage Commission decides!

Lebach, Deutschland - A dramatic fate takes a turn! The hardship commission has decided: A Lebanese family can stay in Saarland! This decision made on Friday ensures relief and hope. The family's lawyer proudly announced that the request to Interior Minister Reinhold Jost will quickly take place. A ray of hope for the family that has lived in the state reception center in Lebach since 2021!

a life in the waiting mode

The family has integrated well in Germany. Both parents speak German fluently, their 14-year-old daughter is an active student and is involved in the sports club. As a trained nurse, the parents have already applied for a work permit and are faced with the opportunity to find a job soon. But the circumstances are dramatic: the Lebanon from which they come is characterized by war and uncertainty. When they came to Saarland in 2021, their home country was still considered safe - their asylum application was rejected. Now, in times of war, your situation is recognized as a hardship!

The power of the Interior Minister

The final decision on the residence permit is now in the hands of Interior Minister Reinhold Jost. He has the right to mercy that allows him to grant the right to give asylum, who have no prospect of asylum. The hardship commission, which consists of eight members, already discussed further cases of people in its first meeting of the year that are threatened by deportation. But the decision about these cases is still pending. The commission's recommendations are not binding, but the minister has to justify his decisions since 2018 if they deviate from the recommendations.

The situation of the Lebanese family is an example of the challenges and opportunities that the asylum system offers in Germany. The coming days will be decisive!
