Legal status Lawyer - Zari Hazan & co. Law Office

The Importance of Legal Status

Being without legal status or an illegal resident in a country is a challenging situation that threatens individual liberty and prevents access to rights. Regrettably, many immigrants find themselves without legal status, either because they did not regulate their status in time or failed to do so for various reasons. Failing to regulate one’s status in Israel, even temporarily, can cause damages and obstacles in future attempts to obtain legal status. For this reason, and others that will be elaborated here, it is advisable to seek legal counsel.

Variety of Statuses for Legal Regulation

Regulating legal status in Israel is one of the primary areas of practice for the Zari Hazan & co Law Firm. Status regulation can be achieved through various statuses: ranging from foreign couples, widows or ex-partners of Israeli citizens, Jews who came to the country as tourists and wish to change their status, to foreign workers or experts, refugees and asylum seekers, children or single family members of Israeli citizens, and more. Whether it involves a first residence permit or permit extension, temporary or permanent visa, a status regulation lawyer in Israel is well-versed in all procedures and protocols of the Ministry of Interior and Population and Immigration Authority, and knows how to submit the appropriate request to regulate the status of the applicant seeking to reside in Israel according to their personal circumstances.

The Role of a Lawyer in the Status Regulation Process

The role of a status regulation lawyer is to represent the applicant through all stages of the process until their status is regulated. The process is not merely bureaucratic and involves substantive decisions about the applicant’s life based on Israeli state laws. Sometimes, knowing the relevant law thoroughly and receiving appropriate legal representation can determine a person’s fate.

Stages in the Status Acquisition Process

The first stage in obtaining status is scheduling a meeting with the Ministry of Interior and bringing relevant documents to prove one’s status. In certain cases, the process continues through various committees of the Ministry of Interior that determine the applicant’s eligibility for status, and sometimes this matter can escalate to filing petitions and legal proceedings. Zari Hazan & Co Law Firm is thoroughly familiar with all Ministry of Interior procedures and has extensive experience in legal representation in such court proceedings. Every client who comes to our office can receive a status regulation lawyer who will accompany them from the first moment until a final decision is made regarding their case.

Months ago, I was lost in the labyrinth of the Ministry of Interior and I turned to Zari Hazan’s law firm after having started my Aliyah process. I had already faced countless obstacles, lost faith in the system, and felt completely defeated. But then I met my lawyer, Meytal and her team. She saw beyond the bureaucratic obstacles, believed in me when I’d lost hope, and made my case her personal mission. With the utmost dedication and faith, she tailored a personal strategy just for me.
I’ll forever be grateful to Meytal and the entire Zari Hazan team. She and her team will forever hold a special place in my heart. They changed my life. עם ישראל חי‏
