Immigration Lawyers in Frankfurt am Main

An immigration lawyer in Frankfurt works at the meeting point of global finance and one of Europe's largest airports. Banks, the European Central Bank, consultancies and IT firms bring in specialists on EU Blue Cards and intra corporate transfer permits. At the same time, the airport makes Frankfurt a key place for entry refusals and asylum claims made on arrival.

Residence permits for city residents are issued by the foreigners' office within the municipal Ordnungsamt, while people in neighbouring towns deal with their own district authority. Refusals are reviewed by the Verwaltungsgericht Frankfurt am Main, with appeals to the Hessian Administrative Court in Kassel. Asylum seekers who arrive by air without valid papers can face the special airport procedure, which runs on very short deadlines and is handled by the same administrative court. The federal office BAMF decides asylum claims. Lawyers are admitted through the Rechtsanwaltskammer Frankfurt am Main, whose register confirms any admission. Fachanwalt für Migrationsrecht is the certified specialist title.

Corporate immigration work is usually billed by flat fee per permit or hourly for complex group mobility, under a written agreement. The RVG scale applies when nothing else is agreed. State fees, translations and certified copies are extra. Legal aid can be granted for court cases with reasonable chances. In the airport procedure, call immigration lawyers in Frankfurt immediately, since appeal periods are counted in days. Ask about response times and who handles the case personally.
