Yemeni family may be deported back to Yemen from Norway after their 2007 asylum application gets rej - Polidicks

[quote]Twenty-nine-year-old Malk Sultan al-Jabiri, a policeman in his native Yemen, fled his country in 2007 during a rebellion by the Houthis, a Shia rebel group. He made it to Norway and applied for asylum, and has continued to live there for the past eight years. For the first four years, he had a good life in Sandnes, a city in southwestern Norway. Shortly after his arrival, he met a Yemeni woman whom he married. He found a good job and rented an apartment for him and his family. But in 2011, the Norwegian Directorate of Immigration (UDI) rejected his asylum application. [B]Jabiri's work permit was revoked, he had to leave his apartment and return to a centre for asylum seekers in Sandnes[/B], and now lives with the knowledge that the police might come at any time and deport him to Yemen along with [B]his children, who were both born in Norway.[/B] His wife returned to Yemen a few months ago after her application was also denied. Jabiri said his wife was "going mental" in Norway, having little social interaction and being unable to work. "I'm trying to avoid making my kids realise what is happening," Jabiri told Al Jazeera. "I try to make them feel like they are not living in a reception centre. I take them out as much as I can, to the park, to sport trainings, so that they can feel like normal Norwegian kids." Although he knows his decision to stay in Norway makes his presence there illegal, he also knows that it is difficult for the police to deport migrants. Mette Grude heads the Sandnes reception centre, which is run by contractor Hero Norge. [B]She said a Yemeni family was recently deported - but that upon their arrival, the Yemeni police forbade them from entering and sent them back to Norway.[/B][/quote] [url]http://www.aljazeera.com/indepth/features/2015/03/yemeni-family-struggles-stay-norway-150308105602937.html[/url]

He wouldn't be sent back anytime soon, though right? With all the shit going down in Yemen at the moment? Not that I mind, but is this really news? I thought this kind of stuff (sadly) happens all the time. This would happen in the Netherlands every few months with asylum seekers who have been here for years, big uproar for the kids in question, family gets sent anyway. Don't hear about it nowadays though, either it's happening less or it's beeing reported less. I guess the difference is that usually the people don't get sent back to a country that's unsafe at the time. [B]Edit:[/B] Oh shit, the other family was [B]RECENTLY[/B] deported. I thought people get asylum in any case, when their home country is unsafe?

There's only so many people you can let in.

Imo this rejection should be nullified because of how ridiculously long it took them to finally make a decision in the first place. You can't expect people to build up a life here knowing that 4 years later they might still be told they can't live there.

[QUOTE=Ragekipz;47532418]To be fair, Norway is a very small country. There's only so many people you can let in.[/QUOTE] This is a discussion that has lots of nuances and makes a lot of people angry. If it was possible, I'd like every person living in a dangerous place to have a home in Norway and be safe, but problematically things aren't as straight forward as that. A country shouldn't be enclosed and not allow immigrants, but Norway is a very popular destination for immigrants so without any limits our own population would quickly become less dominant. So where should the limit be? I don't know, but one thing is for sure: Whoever answers that will, again, make a lot of people angry.

A good place to look at would be Sweden, look at everything they are doing and do the opposite.

He got a job, rented a home and got a family started. Seems like a decent citizen paying his way so what's the problem? Immigration in the UK is a bit daft. You have hard working people from abroad coming over and making a good effort to fit in and contribute to the economy, yet we have some lazy British people who live on benefits because they can't be arsed to find some employment.

Sorry to derail the thread but its related to Yemen, anybody heard from .Greninja? Anyways, this is sort of bullshit since they been living there for quite awhile anyways.

Not saying that's suddenly fast, but according to the article you should get an answer for your first application after a maximum of 6 months.

He should stay. Good working man.
