Convicted of a violent robbery, a Moroccan who had lived in France since the age of 3 had lost his residence permit and received an OQTF. The courts acknowledged that he posed a threat to public order, but nevertheless refused to deport him.
An undocumented young Moroccan man says he worked up to ten hours a day in a small supermarket in Essonne. He slept on a sofa in the back room, hoping that this job would one day enable him to regularize his status in France.
The police prefecture refused to regularize a Moroccan employed in the hotel industry since 2022 and had issued him an OQTF. The Paris Administrative Court of Appeal overturned its decisions, ordered the issuance of a residence permit and ordered the state to pay him 1,200 euros.
A Moroccan woman who has lived in France since 2016 was refused a ten-year resident card on the basis of the Franco-Tunisian agreement. The prefecture subsequently corrected its mistake and refused her a second time. The courts have just annulled both decisions.
Living in France since 2018 with her daughter, who suffers from a serious medical condition, a Moroccan woman sought a residence permit after several years of temporary authorizations. The Douai Administrative Court of Appeal has just rejected her appeal.
A Moroccan woman holding a “talent passport” saw her permanent employment contract suspended after her temporary residence document expired. Deprived of all her income and threatened with permanently losing her job, she obtained the suspension of the refusal to renew her permit and €1,000 from the state.
A Moroccan woman asked the courts to order the prefecture to rule on the renewal of her residence permit, convinced that her application was still being processed. The court told her that a refusal had in fact legally taken effect as early as March 2025, despite the certificates issued afterward.
Two Moroccans had been waiting for more than four years for the Essonne prefecture to grant them an appointment to submit their applications for regularization. On September 2, the same judge ruled in favor of both men and ordered the state to pay each of them 800 euros.
Settled in France since 1979, according to his statements, a 57-year-old Moroccan man is still subject to removal proceedings. Placed under house arrest in Gironde for 45 days, he has just failed to have the restrictions imposed by the prefecture overturned.
The Var prefecture refused to renew a 60-year-old Moroccan man’s residence permit and ordered him to leave France. It cited a conviction for drunk driving and malicious calls that had not resulted in a conviction. The judge suspends all of these decisions.
A 19-year-old Moroccan woman had already obtained the annulment of the tacit refusal of her residence permit. After the court refused to reimburse her legal defense costs, she appealed solely on that point and secured a second victory.
A Moroccan woman had been waiting for nearly eleven months for the renewal of her residence permit. The prefecture responded neither to her request nor in court. The judge has now ordered it to provisionally issue the permit, subject to a penalty, and to pay €1,100.
