Dear Sir/Madam,
I am writing to seek information regarding the laws of European Schengen in my case. I currently reside in Switzerland, having passed through Croatia illegally before arriving here in Switzerland. Croatia was the first country where I had my Dublin process initiated. Upon reaching Switzerland, I applied for asylum seeker status, which led to a series of legal challenges and ultimately a refusal from the State Secretariat for Migration (SEM) to grant me asylum.
Recently, I received a federal decision rejecting my asylum application and instructing me to leave Switzerland. I had planned to marry my fiancée, who is a Romanian citizen working in Germany, and apply for a reunion family visa to join her in Germany. However, the rejection of my asylum application has complicated matters.
I decided returning voluntarily to my home origin country of Burundi to marry my fiancée and apply for a reunion family visa at the German Embassy. My question is, once we are married in Burundi, will it be possible for me to reapply for a reunion family visa to return to the European Schengen area, specifically Germany, where my fiancée resides and works?
I understand that my situation is complex, with the Dublin process and asylum application complicating matters. However, I am hopeful that there may be a legal pathway for us to be together in Europe. Your guidance and advice on this matter would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Sincerely,
