Hello @hassanzadahelham ,
Thank you for reaching out to us. You mentioned you received a three-year visa/residency. Do you know what type of residency you have? Usually, it says on your plastic card under “remarks”
Under what conditions you can bring your parents to Germany, depends on the current status that you have. You can find more about the residency titles for protection on our info page, this might help you know what title you have. https://handbookgermany.de/en/right-of-residence
The first step you should do, if you have received asylum or refugee protection, is the so called “Fristwahrende anzeige” or timely notification.
As you mentioned, you only have 3 months from the time you received the decision from BAMF. It is important that you fill in this timely notification within the 3 months to make sure that you can bring your parents to Germany.
You can do the timely notification by clicking on the link and choosing timely notification: https://fap.diplo.de/webportal/desktop/index.html#start
Please download and save or print the form.
This only applies if you have received refugee protection or asylum, if you have subsidiary protection, or another residency title. You do not need to fill this in and other regulations apply to you. You can read more here: https://handbookgermany.de/en/family-reunification
It is also important that you receive further counselling and legal advice. That can help you with the application.
If you let me know where you live, I can help you find a suitable counselling centre. You can also try and search for one yourself using the BAMF navi: https://bamf-navi.bamf.de/en/Themen/Migrationsberatung/
Please let me know if you have any further questions. I am always happy to help
Best wishes
Yara
