Inquiry About Changing Visa Status from Chancenkarte to Freiberufler

Hello, I currently have a valid Chancenkarte visa until 31.07.2025. On 24.07.2025, I submitted an application to switch to a freelancer (Freiberufler) visa, as it was not possible for me to extend the Chancenkarte.

According to the automated confirmation form I received by email from the Ausländerbehörde, I am allowed to remain in the country until I receive a response regarding my freelancer visa application (which could be approved or rejected). I would like to confirm that this is indeed the case.

If so, could you please explain how the process of waiting for a confirmation from the Ausländerbehörde works? Also, if I am indeed allowed to remain in the country until the Ausländerbehörde makes a decision, what would my legal status be during that period? Would I still be considered under the conditions of my previous Chancenkarte visa?

Thank you in advance
