Court Proceedings against AIMA
Immigration and Visas
Assessing court action
Delay alone does not make proceedings urgent or guarantee that the court will order a permit to be issued.

Frequently asked questions
Can I seek an urgent order just because I have waited a long time?
Not automatically. Evidence is needed of serious, direct harm to personal rights requiring timely protection and of interim relief being insufficient.
Will the court grant me a residence permit straight away?
This cannot be promised: the decision depends on the claim, legal requirements and proven facts. An order requiring AIMA to decide does not necessarily mean approval.
Do I need to have made an application to AIMA?
Before choosing an action, it is essential to assess the origin and stage of the procedure, the available records and the administration's conduct.
