GARCIA-JUAN, Laura  and  CALDERON, Javier Alonso. Social Ties as a Legal Avenue for Long-Term Asylum Seekers in the European Union. Migr. Inter [online]. 2023, vol.14, rmiv1i12612.  Epub Jan 15, 2023. ISSN 2594-0279.  https://doi.org/10.33679/rmi.v1i1.2612.

This article analyzes the application of a regularization mechanism for immigrants, typical of Spanish law and directly linked to integration measures, as a possible legal solution for thousands of asylum seekers whose applications have been rejected or remain unresolved in any of the European Union Member States. The revision of the regulations and directives of the Common European Asylum System reform focuses on the extension of integration measures to these people. The article provides a new approach to the figure of social ties in the field of applicants for international protection, concluding that if such a mechanism were incorporated into the planned reforms, this would give them the possibility to renounce their immigration status and opt for an administrative residence and work authorization, causing a huge impact on the entire system.
