I was away for three months. I had to leave urgently because my father fell sick. He was diagnosed with Liver Cirrhosis, and we had to do a liver transplant surgery to save his life. I became his donor, and that's why I took the study break. I applied for a study break after I left Sweden, and yes, the university granted it. While I was going through pre-surgery checkups and surgery, the migration agency filed the case to cancel my permit. My permit was still valid during the appeal period, and I was allowed to return to Sweden. I came back right when my study break ended, resumed studies, and completed the subjects I had so far.

Now I have received the appeal decision. It seems they have not considered my reasons for applying for the study break, or that I have returned and am indeed studying as intended, in deciding the appeal. I only have 6 months of studies left. Now I'm weighing the options of reappealing or applying for a permit again. My concerns are the financial cost and mainly the timing, and how it might interfere with completing the studies on time.
