The siblings have lived in Sweden for eight years - are now being deported to Vietnam

The three sisters came to Sweden with their father eight years ago.

But in 2018, the residence permits expired and the Swedish Migration Agency rejected the father's application due to a suspected fake relationship.

Quyen and her younger sisters Tram and Vy LVU were placed with a foster family where the sisters still live. 

- I want to stay.

I have planned my future and my job here, says 17-year-old Tram.

For several years, the siblings and their foster mother have been fighting to get a new residence permit.

Quyen was 12 years old when she came to Sweden and now she may be forced to return to Vietnam at the age of 20.

- They will probably send us back next week.

I can't think of a single person who will be able to help us there, says Quyen.

Grew up in Sweden

Quyen was twelve years old when she came to Sweden and describes it as having grown up here.

- I have gone from being a child to becoming an adult.

Everything I know and know about society I have learned here, she says.

She has trained and worked at the hospital in Helsingborg when life took a drastic turn.

Almost three weeks ago, she was taken to the detention center in Ljungbyhed, where she is now awaiting deportation.

- The police showed up and said I would be deported before they brought me here.

I was terrified and cried, says Quyen.

The Swedish Migration Agency does not want to appear for an interview, but writes in an email that the agency has examined their case and that the sisters do not have a need for protection.

SVT Nyheter Helsingborg is looking for the siblings' father.
