Residence permanent permit according to §28 (1) No. 3
Hello,
I hold an (Aufenthaltstitel) according to Paragraph 28 because my son is German. This is my 6 year in Germany and my residency is due to be renewed. I was wondering if I can apply for the permanent residency but without B1 certificate. I have attended courses until A2.2. Do you think it is okay to apply for it with a certificate of attendance from a language school?
I have not done the integration course due to my full time job. Not sure if this helps but I came to Germany as a skilled worker and then changed my residency type to P. 28.
I have a permanent contract and hold a master's degree in my qualifications. My job is merely in English.
Any advice would be helpful. Thanks
Hello @EgyinGermany , Thank you for contacting us. If you wish to apply for permanent residence, you will generally need to meet a number of requirements. One of these requirements is knowledge of German at level B1. A certificate of attendance can show your commitment to learning German, but it's unlikely to replace the B1 certificate for permanent residence purposes. A basic knowledge of the German legal and social system is also required, although this is often not explicitly mentioned.
