When you’re dealing with refugee and protection status decisions, it’s important to know when a decision is final. You need to wait until one of two things happens:
First, you can wait until the time for making an appeal has ended. If no one appeals during this time, the decision becomes final.
Second, if someone does make an appeal, you have to wait until that appeal is decided. Once the appeal is finished, the decision becomes final.
Until one of these things happens, the decision isn’t considered final. This means that things might still change, so you need to be patient and wait for the final result.
