my wife joining me from poland

I live in germany, taking a vocational training in IT sponsored by the government. My ALG1 is not enough but i also get a support from jobcentre ( aufstocken).

I am now married to a university student in poland. Will she be allowed to join me here and live with me in germany?

Hello @omogogoro  
thank you for your question on our platform.
In order to bring your wife to Germany under the family reunification you will have to be able to support yourself and your wife financially. Unfortunately, if you receive money from the jobcentre then this usually is a hurdle to bring you wife to Germany.  

If you wife has a Polish passport she would be able to travel, work and live in Germany. Since she is an EU passport holder.

You can find more information on the requirements of the family reunification here: https://handbookgermany.de/en/family-reunification-for-immigrants#faq_769

If you have further questions, please do not hesitate to post them here.
Best wishes
