Our cases
Situation:
A citizen of the Russian Federation was arrested in absentia and put on the international wanted list through Interpol channels. The situation was complicated by the fact that the fabricated charges were of a general criminal nature, and not of a political nature.
Our actions:
3 days after the decision on the arrest in absentia came into force, a preventive request was submitted to the Commission for the Control of Interpol Files, arguing for human rights violations in this file from the Russian National Central Bureau of Interpol.
Solution:
Our arguments were accepted by the Commission for the Control of Interpol Files, considered by the General Secretariat of Interpol, and the distribution of the file with the Red Notice was preventively blocked by the time it was received by Interpol. The client is not in the Interpol wanted database.

Situation:
The family planned to move to the United States through CBP One, but the complicated situation at the Mexican-American border created a large number of risks.
Our actions:
A route for their movement to Mexico City was developed, taking into account current data on the attitude of Mexican border guards towards those arriving from countries of the post-Soviet space (the practice became significantly more complicated; Russian citizens were often “turned around” at the border). Tickets were purchased at a significant discount due to the capabilities of our agency.
The agency's lawyers developed a case of political persecution with all supporting documents collected together with the client. Upon arrival at the Mexico City airport, our clients became the only ones among all arriving citizens of the CIS countries who were allowed through without interrogation, search of belongings and stay in a special room, thanks to careful preparation of their appearance and behavior at passport control.
Result:
18 days after arriving in Mexico City, with the organizational support of our agency, they were assigned a date in the CBP One application, and after another 12 days they successfully entered the United States. Typical waiting times for this program are now 5 months or more.
Contrary to common practice, they were immediately issued a "Form 94", although the vast majority of applicants are now sent to immigration detention and also receive a "Form 220" (the so-called "parolee form"). This was facilitated by careful preparation for the “fear interview” and methods of communicating with officers on the American side.

Situation:
A citizen of the Russian Federation, wanted on a trumped-up charge of committing a particularly serious crime, was looking for the possibility of legalization in European countries. The situation was complicated by the inability to obtain a police clearance certificate, which is necessary to obtain a residence permit or student visa. The client also did not have a Schengen visa.
Our actions:
A route for its movement to the European Union was developed, taking into account current data on the practice of visa-free transit (the practice has become significantly more complicated over these months, citizens of the Russian Federation were often not allowed to fly). Tickets were purchased at a significant discount due to the capabilities of our agency.
The agency's lawyers developed a case of political persecution with all supporting documents collected together with the client. As a safety net, a European lawyer was organized who would block the refuse decision if it was made (but the case was considered convincing).
Result:
The client requested international protection upon arrival at the airport, received the status of a political asylum seeker and the opportunity to legally stay in the EU with the opening of accounts, health insurance, social protection and access to all relevant programs.

Situation:
A citizen of the Russian Federation, fleeing political persecution, entered one of the closest countries of the European Union (“country 1”). The family obtained tourist visas from another EU country (“Country 2”) and traveled to Serbia. Our client flew there to jointly arrive in “country 2” and request political asylum. The difficulty was that the person being persecuted was the client himself, and during this case he had already entered one of the EU countries. Thus, under the Dublin Regulations, it was “Country 1” that had to consider their request for political asylum.
Our actions:
The case of persecution was analyzed, control points were identified and appropriate adjustments were made, which provided strong arguments for consideration of the request for asylum by “country 2”.
Result:
The applications of all family members for the status of political asylum seeker were satisfied by “country 2”, their sending to “country 1” under the Dublin Regulation did not take place, after 6 months all family members were granted international protection by “country 2”.

Situation:
A same-sex couple, who do not have an official relationship status, arrived in the European Union on tourist visas that already have expired. One of the partners has grounds for political asylum, the other has no factors of persecution. Even if “partner 1” receives asylum, “partner 2” does not have any grounds for asylum.
Our actions:
To avoid travel between EU countries, document checks and the risk of deportation, our specialists selected the optimal option for a remote wedding, which is recognized by the authorities of European countries. Our lawyers provided full support for this process.
Result:
The marriage between the partners was arranged via video conference, after which the clients applied for political asylum as an official couple.
