Family Reunification

Family reunification in the context of refugee and asylum processing refers to the legal process that allows refugees or asylum seekers to bring their close family members to join them in a new country. This is important for maintaining family unity after being separated due to conflict or persecution. The process typically involves applying for visas or legal status for family members, demonstrating familial relationships, and meeting specific requirements set by immigration authorities. By facilitating these reunifications, countries acknowledge the importance of family support for individuals rebuilding their lives in safety.
