Opportunity Card Application in a non-Residence Country

Hello! I would like to get some information about something.

I am a citizen of the Republic of Turkey, and my spouse is from the Russian Federation.

I do not have a residence permit in the Russian Federation and my spouse does not have one in the Republic of Turkey.

We have visas for each other's countries, and since we work remotely, we can visit and stay in each other's countries whenever we want.

We want to apply for an Opportunity Card, but the appointment system is closed in my spouse's country (Russia).

Can my spouse apply for an Opportunity Card with me in my country (Turkey)? As far as I understand, the Istanbul Consulate accepts non-citizens.

Or where can we apply together?

Because if we apply in different places and our applications are accepted, we may receive the Opportunity Card on different dates. In that case, we may need to go to Germany at different times, which is not suitable for us.

Since it's a very specific issue, I couldn't find any information about it online.

I would be grateful if you could help.

Good evening!

Citizenship application

I worked in Germany with a blue card for five years and three months. This December I applied for citizenship but even though I have the unlimited work contract, we agreed with my employer for me to leave end of January after some compensation. They wanted me to leave but I fought back since there was no valid reason. My husband is EU citizen and he has enough income to support us.How would this affect my citizenship application? I also applied  permanent residency but I haven’t received the card yet. I only have fiktion document  valid until 2027. Meanwhile, he got a very good job offer in Spain and he will start in March. I will stay in Germany until I receive my citizenship hopefully. I’m doing an online master degree right now.Is there something I need to be careful about? He can have German work contract for a while but he wants to switch to Spanish contract since it’s more beneficial. Thank you.

Does my wife qualify?

Hello all. I'm doing some preliminary research on potential German citizenship for my wife.

Her grandparents were German citizens. Citizenship was not passed down to their child (her mother), but they were jews prosecuted by the Nazi's and forced to flee to the United States. We have their original joint German passport in hand.

Is she able to apply for citizenship?

Thank you very much.

Blue Card Work Permit Rejection

Hello everyone,

I hope you are doing well.

I am facing an issue with my work permit application, which was rejected by the BA. The reason given is that my salary is considered below the local salary standard in Hamburg (ortsübliche Gehalt).

I am an engineer, and my profession falls under a shortage occupation (Mangelberuf). My offered salary is also above the required threshold of 45,934 Euro per year.

Has anyone experienced a similar situation or successfully resolved this issue? I would really appreciate any guidance, advice, or shared experiences. It would be a great help.

Thank you very much.

Extension of the EU Blue card

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?

Post Interview fragile situations submission to BAMF

Hallo,

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.
