The Swedish Migration Agency (SMA) rebuffed the appeals of Palestinian refugee from Syria Mohamed Alyan to reunite with his family, following a mistake in the investigation procedure.
Alyan, who has been granted a Swedish visa some three years ago, said he was shocked as soon as he caught sight of a letter from SMA notifying him that his appeal for family reunification, which he had submitted just one month ago, was hastily turned down. The letter was dropped in a mailbox at his home located near the Swedish city of Jonkoping.
Alyan said the Migration Agency mistook him for another person and when he headed to the office for further clarification his inquiries were turned down.
SMA demanded that Alyan get an authorization from his wife for she is the concerned party in the case.
“A SMA staff member was surprised when she caught sight of someone else’s name in my file,” said Alyan. “The lay said she believed a lapse of some sort occurred in the decision-making process and recommended that I appeal the decision immediately.”
