Expertise
Immigration & asylum advisory
Immigration advisory services relating to asylum, residence permits, extension matters, family migration and Swedish citizenship.
Scope of support
Immigration and asylum is one of Papinian’s two principal legal advisory areas. Our advice is based on the individual circumstances of each matter, the applicable rules and the stage of the process. We provide support with reviewing decisions and documents, preparing and reviewing supporting material, and considering possible next steps in the process.
Matters we can discuss
- Asylum matters and protection-related issues
- Residence permits and extension matters
- Family migration and family ties
- Swedish citizenship
- Review of decisions and immigration processes
- Preparation and review of applications and supporting documents
Who this is for
Individuals and families who need guidance on immigration matters or support in an ongoing immigration process. Each matter is assessed individually on its own circumstances, and advisory support does not guarantee any particular decision or outcome.
A legal and human-rights perspective
Papinian's migration and asylum advisory is led by William Abström, a jurist focused on international law and with particular competence in human rights and transitional justice. This provides a perspective that encompasses both the legal framework and the individual's situation in the migration process. Every matter is assessed on its own circumstances, current rules and available material.
