Hello team, I have recently been offered a job to work as a bus driver. I have a license to drive buses and trucks. My license is not from EU or EEA. How can I get my license recognised so as I could take up this job offer. Thanks! 

hello everyone I hope this message find you well. I  am an asylum seeker and I have a driving licence of my country but it will expires in next June. could you please help me how to get new German one?

Hello, my name is faisal. I have moved to the Germany. I mean I am new in Germany. I had  valid drivering  license in Afghanistan and I brought it here with me. I want to change my drivering license to Germany drivering  license. how I can do it?

I have already provided background information in another question so here I quickly write it again. I am Ortskräfte I came to Germany legally according to S22. I am not Asylum Seeker. It has been 1.5 year that we live in Heim in one room. My mother is sick. I tried many ways even I got WBS but because my hair is black I cant find an apartment. Can I log an official complain against Sozialamt, Stadh Rathaus if yes how and where I can find lawyer to help me? I want a solution if you can help. Authorities in my city discriminating against us. 

Good morning. A query.. Do you you know some bank to open an account that does not ask for Anmeldung? It could be an online bank, except for n26 that has rejected me because they said that my passport is special because it lasts just 1 year and they need a document that is valid for at least 4 years. I am processing a new passport but it will take a little while. And I need to pay the bills already. Thanks for your help

Living in Germany comes with a lot of bureaucracy, paperwork and hurdles, especially for new comers or those that do not speak German perfectly.

Greetings to all,

Despite this is not a question but I am posting here for platform members and moderators if they can help. 

German government does not have a good integration plan for immigrants. It does not make sense that bring immigrants and put them in Heim, where apparently not fit for habitat, shared toilets and ONE room for 4 or 5 people. Standard space for living in Germany is 44sqm for one individual. Why a family of four persons can not rent an apartment of 2 rooms in German market? Where is law? UNHCR? 

Immigrants experience cultural shock, depression, anxiety, language where they are moved to. They need psychosocial counseling to ease their depression. On other hand they face discrimination and racism in government agencies because they can not speak German. 

Those evacuated and/or migrated to Germany does not mean were dying of hunger. Most of them had all life facilities only their life were in danger. For some cultures it is difficult to live in shared spaces. I think, the government should pay special attention to support immigrants psychosocially and there should be frequent orientations and work with them to so that they can properly be integrated into society? Only integration course does not suffice.
