Overview

  • OVG Berlin-Brandenburg suspended the Verwaltungsgericht Berlin’s July 7 decision to issue visas to an Afghan law lecturer and her 13 relatives.
  • The federal government appealed the initial ruling to prevent visa issuance before a conclusive judgment.
  • The lecturer and her family remain in government-arranged accommodations in Pakistan and face potential deportation to Taliban-controlled Afghanistan.
  • The OVG’s 6th Senate is gathering further submissions and plans to deliver its final decision by the end of August.
  • Over 2,400 other Afghan applicants are awaiting visas under the suspended federal admission program, which the interior ministry continues to support on site.
