Asylum & Refugee Law
Specialist support for asylum applications, investigations, and appeals against deportation decisions.
Your right to a fair asylum process
The asylum process in Sweden is demanding and places very high evidentiary weight on your oral account and written documentation. The asylum investigation with the Swedish Migration Agency often determines the direction of the entire case.
As your lawyer and, where applicable, your public counsel, we prepare you carefully before the investigation. We explain the process, review the kinds of questions that may be asked, and help you present the legally relevant protection grounds clearly.
If the Swedish Migration Agency refuses your application, we help you prepare a structured appeal to the Migration Court, request additional measures, and represent you in oral hearings.
Important points in asylum matters
- Request Edvin Seif as your public counsel at your first contact with the Swedish Migration Agency if your case allows it.
- Tell your full story truthfully and in detail during the investigation. Later changes can negatively affect credibility.
- Collect and preserve documents, identification, and other evidence that support your protection grounds and identity.
- If you have received a refusal, contact us immediately because the appeal deadline is short, normally three weeks.

Asylum investigation
You are called to an oral investigation where you explain your protection grounds. We attend physically or digitally to safeguard your interests.
