Migration

Guten Tag alles, I am Indian citizen applying for ausbildung seeker visa, I cleared my B1 exam and already continuing with B2 Level. My question is do I need APS Akademische Prüfstelle for my matriculation and higher secondary school leaving certificates. The consular services portal does not ask for it but I know it's required for study visas. Secondly do i need to upload certified copies of my documents in portal or simple uploads are sufficient? 

Has anyone experienced a similar situation or has reliable information on this?

If a person holding an EU Blue Card — valid until June 2029 — loses their job during the probation period and receives the 3-month grace period, and during that time submits a new employment contract for a Blue Card to Skilled Worker permit conversion,Also,requested to extension for 2 or 3months, but has not yet received any response from the Ausländerbehörde (ABH):

Is it possible to travel outside Germany and re-enter after the grace period has expired while the application is still being processed?

Any insights or experiences would be greatly appreciated.

Hello,

I am asking on behalf of my sister. She finished her masters last year in November and she is currently in job seeker visa. Unfortunately she hasn’t been able to secure a job yet. Her visa expires on end of march. Can she changer her visa if she gets admission for a second masters? Or, can she change her visa into language visa if she gets admission to a language school? Or is there any other option for her to continue staying in Germany? Can she convert it to Chance karte visa too? Please let me know all the possible options. Thank you.

Regards,

Melina

Greetings forum,  

I have contradicting info about gaining German citizenship - and am wondering if someone here can lend some clarity.  

I was born in Frankfurt am Main in 1962 to an American father and German mother.  I have a German birth certificate and had lived in Germany for most of my childhood, then moving with my family to the US in my early teens. I now reside in the US.  

What are my chances for gaining German citizenship? Will I have to relinquish US citizenship in doing so? 

Thanking you in advance.

I want to thank the people that are responding to my question. Im navigating this site or I would thank you personally.

Hello guys,

Hello everyone and thanks for helping me with my questions, 

I have been working as a researcher in a research institute with a university in Hessen since 01.09.2023. I received an EU Blue Card on the basis of my contract(which ended on 31.09.2025). The EU Blue Card last day of validity is 31.12.2025. 

As you know how it is with research institutes and applying for grant as a Ph.D. student could be tough, we received a preliminary approval for an EU grant which begins in 01.01.2026 for a period of 3 years. 

However it is not yet finalized so the university only gave me a contract until the end of the year(so 3-month gap from 31.09.2025 to 31.12.2025). I will hopefully get a new longer term contract(from 01.01.2026 to end of 31.12.2027) very soon in the coming weeks. 

My question is what should I do with regards to my blue card situation in this case. I received a letter that I must apply for an extension of Blue card 8 weeks before. But I only atm have the 3-month contract which is not enough(I guess) for an extension. Is there a way to get some from the foreigners' office until I get the new contract?

Hello,

I am writing behalf of my spouse, who is a registered nurse here with 'Urkunde' and currently working under my Blue card visa for last 2.5 years. We would like to change her visa from spouse of Blue card holder to skilled worker category so that she will be eligible for applying permanent residency ( as per the information from internet).  

How can we change the visa category. is it possible to do online application?.

Thanks in advance for any help of useful information.

Best Regards,

Hallo,

Since 15 months of my BAMF Interview, i received a letter from BAMF to wait until 15th months. Now this period is completed without any further notification from BAMF about my Interview decision.

In the meanwhile after my Interview, the reasons i highlighted in my Interview further devastated in my hosting country, while my family threat further fragile. 

I am still in the Camp und i am looking for advice, should i inform the BAMF about the worse fragile situation in my hosting country? (The German DW News, BBC, Amnesty Int. UNHCR and Human Rights reports also highlighted these fragile situations in their News and reports. 

During this 15 months period, i have completed my Integration Course with B-1 Certificate and now looking for Job (at this stage job searching is a little harder, as i need also a work permission and its taking almost 2 to 4 weeks).

How i can move ahead? How can i get a legal help free of cost?

Apologies, but i can't highlights all my reasons here, as here these information or public visible, but when i get a focal person or legal person, then i can share all my case record, reasons and post interview worse situations as well.

Thanks and looking ahead for guidance.

Ali
