LEGALIZATION OF STATUS FOR MARRIED OR UNMARRIED COUPLES IN ISRAEL
Legalization of status in Israel for the foreign spouse of Israeli citizen is a necessary matter. If not following a relevant procedure, the spouse might be deported from Israel and would not be able to return. This issue is dealt with by the Ministry of Interior which unfortunately sometimes operates without an orderly policy but according to bureaucratic procedures.
Legalization of status within many procedures of the Ministry of Interior is related to the provision of a large package of documents and constant checks of the sincerity of the relationship.
Therefore, it is very important to know and understand the process of arranging the status, taking into account the actual circumstances of each couple. This approach helps to prevent potential problems rather than to solve them later.
Due to the lack of a clear and unified policy of the Ministry of Interior, it is important to make decisions only after consulting with a lawyer, who would examine the circumstances, present to the couple all available options and help them make the best decision for them.
Our firm offers our clients professional, efficient and reliable support and representation in the Ministry of the Interior in all matters related to arranging status for married or unmarried couples from the moment the case is opened until its disposal.

ARRANGING STATUS IN ISRAEL FOR SPECIALS HUMANITARIAN REASONS
There are many cases that do not fall under any of the procedures for legalization of status in Israel. However, in the presence of certain circumstances, it is possible to obtain status in Israel for humanitarian reasons. It is for such cases that the Interdepartmental Committee for Humanitarian Reasons has been established.
As a rule, these are the circumstances that justify granting applicants status in Israel, even if it does not meet the criteria established by the instructions of the Interior Ministry. For example, divorce from an Israeli spouse before obtaining citizenship, when children are born in the marriage; the death of an Israeli spouse before the completion of the procedure and the foreigner's receipt of permanent status; children who grew up in Israel and consider it their homeland, who have not received status, and others.
A thorough study of the circumstances of the case and the speed of reaction – these are the key rules that ensure that we competently conduct the humanitarian process.

APPEAL AGAINST DECISIONS OF THE MINISTRY OF INTERIOR
As a rule, a decision made in administrative law must be reasoned. However, in the Law for the Correction of Administrative Orders (Decisions and Reasoning), 1958, it was established that decisions made under the Entry into Israel Law are not required to reason. In the event a residence permit is already granted, it cannot be revoked without reasoning.
On the other hand, despite the exemption granted to the Minister of the Interior from the reasoning obligation regarding the granting of a visa under the Entry into Israel Law, its judgment is subject to the court's review.
Moreover, The Israeli Ministry of the Interior has strict criteria for granting status to certain applicants. Persons who fully fall under these criteria, as a rule, do not have problems with the legalization of status.
Another thing if the evidence submitted by the applicant is not accepted for consideration by the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
First of all, it should be noted that the decision of the Ministry of Internal Affairs or the Embassy can be appealed, according to one procedure or another.
However, filing the appeal itself has strict rules. The deadlines for filing an appeal are indicated in the text of the decision of the Ministry of Internal Affairs itself or in the relevant instructions.
Being late in filing an appeal for at least one day makes the appeal impossible, which may entail deportation within the specified period.
Remember when receiving a decision to refuse, it is highly recommended to act decisively, precisely and quickly.
In any case, with the ministry of the interior's refusal decisions it is highly recommended to consult with an expert lawyer in the field of citizenship and visas in Israel in order to examine the case on its own merits and obtain a professional opinion.
