In the context of decision-making, we talk about future-proofing. While we only have 12 people from Kazakhstan now, that figure could grow. As Europe moves towards a much stricter narrative on migration, we may start to see a lot of negative decisions, even in very legitimate cases for asylum, because the EU is becoming harder and harder on migration. Someone may end up with illegal status because the criteria around asylum or migration have changed due to the political climate. I still believe a case-by-case basis is extremely important.
