asylum procedure
The legal and administrative process in which government authorities check whether a person meets the requirements for recognition as a refugee and receives asylum in a country.
Das Asylverfahren kann sich über mehrere Monate oder sogar Jahre hinziehen.
The asylum procedure can drag on for several months or even years.
The word consists of 'Asyl' (asylum) and 'Verfahren' (procedure). So it describes very directly the official process or procedure that decides on an asylum application.
Ein negatives Ergebnis im Asylverfahren bedeutet oft die Abschiebung.
A negative result in the asylum procedure often means deportation.
'Asylverfahren' (asylum procedure) is an official term from the field of law and administration. It is mainly used in formal, official, or journalistic contexts.
Der Anwalt hat Akteneinsicht in das laufende Asylverfahren beantragt.
The lawyer requested access to the files in the ongoing asylum procedure.
The component 'Asyl-' (asylum) appears in many related words. If you know this word, you will also more easily understand 'Asylantrag' (asylum application), 'Asylbewerber' (asylum applicant), or 'Asylrecht' (asylum law).
Jeder Asylbewerber muss ein Asylverfahren durchlaufen.
Every asylum applicant has to go through an asylum procedure.
An asylum procedure can be 'beantragen' (applied for) or 'einleiten' (initiated). A person can 'durchlaufen' (go through) an asylum procedure. The authorities can 'beschleunigen' (speed it up) or 'ablehnen' (reject it).
Er hofft, dass sein Asylverfahren bald positiv abgeschlossen wird.
He hopes that his asylum procedure will soon be concluded with a positive outcome.
asylum application
'Asylantrag' and 'Asylverfahren' both belong to the topic of asylum and authorities. The 'Asylantrag' is the formal application with which a person applies for protection in a country. The 'Asylverfahren' is the whole process afterward, in which the authorities review the application and prepare a decision. The words are easy to confuse because the procedure often begins with the application. As a simple guide: the 'Asylantrag' is what is submitted; the 'Asylverfahren' is the review and processing by the authorities.
Während des Asylverfahrens muss er mehrere Dokumente bei der Behörde abgeben.
During the asylum procedure, he has to submit several documents to the authority.
Sie stellt einen Asylantrag, weil sie in ihrem Heimatland nicht sicher ist.
She submits an asylum application because she is not safe in her home country.
