Why should I instruct a lawyer?
An OQTF appeal is both technical and urgent. Legal representation helps ensure deadlines are met, build a robust case and maximise the prospects of preserving your right to remain in France.
I have received an OQTF. What should I do first?
It is essential to act immediately. Appeal deadlines are very short and vary depending on your circumstances. An initial consultation allows the decision to be reviewed and the appropriate next steps to be identified quickly.
What are the deadlines for challenging an OQTF?
Depending on the type of OQTF, the deadline may be 48 hours, 7 days or one month. Once the deadline has passed, the available remedies are significantly restricted. This is why it is essential to seek advice quickly.
Can I remain in France while the appeal is pending?
An appeal may suspend enforcement of the OQTF while it is being examined. This depends on the nature of the decision and the type of appeal brought. The position must therefore be checked carefully in each individual case.
Can I continue working despite an OQTF?
An OQTF may affect your right to work. Depending on your circumstances and the steps taken, options may be available to protect your professional situation. Each case requires a detailed assessment.
Can an OQTF be annulled?
Yes. An OQTF may be annulled where the decision is unlawful or where your personal, family or professional circumstances have not been properly taken into account. The legal analysis is therefore decisive.
