>The asylum process basically means just that.
I think it depends on what you mean by "process" everyone gets some hearings and etc, that is the process.
That doesn't mean they've been accepted or IMO anything about Germany. You have to have a "process" even if the person feels that they're being persecuted because they don't like chocolate ice cream, a process doesn't mean anything about Germany.
Googling shows that a family went through the process... and lost the asylum bid.
