{"title":"Fraudulent Families? Investigating the Role of Paperwork in the Assessment of Refugees’ Family Reunification in Belgium","authors":"Sara De Hertog, Milena Belloni","doi":"10.1080/15562948.2023.2271864","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/15562948.2023.2271864","url":null,"abstract":"AbstractCurrent European directives indicate that refugees must be afforded more leniency when certifying the family relationships in family visa applications. However, our research—based on an in-depth thematic analysis of a sample of proceedings of the Belgian Council for Alien Law Litigation (2015–2019)—shows that even when refugee families provide documentary evidence about family ties and identity, this is often used against them. Building on studies on the bureaucratic culture of disbelief/suspicion, we illustrate that refusals are often based on discretionary decisions not to further investigate the application, as families allegedly committed fraud by presenting fake or discrepant proofs, while discrepancies may well emerge from the complexity of refugees’ transnational lives and bureaucratic experiences.Keywords: Family reunificationrefugeespaperworkbureaucratic borderingfraudmoral gatekeepingculture of suspicionBelgium AcknowledgmentsWe are deeply thankful to Dr Laura Cleton and the anonymous reviewers for their constructive comments to previous draft of this article. Milena Belloni wishes to thank Benoit Dhondt for the insightful conversations and information about the complex legal pathways of refugee families in Belgium.Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1 All names used in this article are fictitious, to protect the privacy of the respondents. Sara De Hertog became acquainted with Zahir’s legal representative through professional connections, while working for the Belgian federal Ombudsman. After following Jamila’s history for months, S.H. decided to further investigate the challenge of family reunification for refugees in Belgium by joining Milena Belloni’s research entitled “Exiled and Separated: A multi-sited ethnography of separated refugee families” (FWO grant no.: 12Z3719N). S.H. is personaly responsible for this contribution and in no way does it bind the federal Ombudsman.2 https://www.unhcr.org/familiestogether/3 This means that an application should in theory not be rejected solely because official documentary evidence is lacking, and that states must take into account other forms of evidence, such as interviews, written statements, documents, audio-visual materials, and DNA testing.4 Jubany writes (Citation2017, p. 167): “Whilst there is a negative value attached to a narrative without any sort of documentation, the positive value that should be attached to those with supporting evidence is always tempered as ‘proof can have a good or a bad influence, it can be good or bad, it depends on the country, it depends if it is fabricated’.”5 Law of 15 December 1980 regarding the entry, residence, settlement and removal of foreign nationals, Article 10, 10bis, 12bis and 13, Belgian Official Gazette 31 December 1980 (Aliens Act).
