Shelter in Germany
Fully convinced we stand with humans who fled war, violence and threat in their homeland. They should receive shelter in Germany.
Regional refugee advice
The regional refugee advice supports refugees in cases like asylum procedures (lawsuits, revocation procedures and withdrawal procedures included), family reunification, legally residency Affairs, social law subjects and integration. The advice is always impartial and confidential for the target group. This offer is for free.
Return Advice
Our offer directs advice seekers who want to leave Germany voluntarily and on their own terms as well as those who are obligated to leave. We advise about the possibilities in Germany and the homeland, inform about financial and medical aid, reintegration opportunities and the current situation in the nativ country. In cooperation with additional professional organizations we provide assistance with the processing of an employment perspective for the advice seeker in their country of origin. The consultation is for free, voluntarily, and, if desired, anonymous.
Asylum procedure advice
The Inner Mission - Diakonisches Werk Bochum offers asylum procedure advice that is independent of the authorities at the NRW state reception center (LEA). The advice is confidential, free and voluntary. The asylum procedure advice supports asylum seekers in adequately understanding the asylum procedure. Those seeking advice are advised about their rights and obligations to cooperate in the asylum procedure. You will receive, among other things, information on how to prepare for the hearing, the Dublin procedure or other support options in the accommodation.
Our advisors are based in the state initial reception center (LEA) in Bochum and only advise the asylum seekers there. Asylum procedure advice is funded by the Federal Ministry of the Interior and Homeland based on a resolution by the German Bundestag.
