What happens after the request: registration, family handling, major support and rights where officially stated?
The application is registered by the police on behalf of the BFA within 5 days of making it (within 10 days if made with another authority); personal data, including information about family members in Austria or another EU+ country, fingerprints and a photograph are recorded, and the person receives a document stating that the application was made and registered. The application must then be lodged within 21 days of registration; if it is not lodged, it is considered withdrawn unless the reason for this failure is beyond the person's control. The person is then invited to a personal interview, and a BFA officer checks the case. From the moment of applying, the person in principle has the right to stay in the country responsible for examining the application, and rights to reception support and services, a free interpreter during important steps such as registration and the personal interview, and free legal counselling. The administrative procedure takes up to 6 months from lodging and should not take more than 21 months.
