Hi @Shadan , Thank you for your question. If you are currently in the asylum procedure, then you will have to check if the so called “Residenzpflicht” still applies to you. This means that you usually must stay in the area allocated to you for a certain time. There are also exceptions to this. The regulations are slightly different in each federal state. But since you are still in the asylum procedure this might apply to you. You can find a general overview of the regulation and if it applies to you here: https://handbookgermany.de/en/aufenthaltsgestattung If you let me know the city you are in I can search for various counseling centers near you that can help you with your questions. They will help you navigate what the next steps are so you can be closer to your place of work. I hope this information was useful. I hope that you can move closer to your work soon. Best wishes Yara
