Chancenkarte whilst on ALG 1

Hi,
I am residing in DE since 2022. I have a Masters degree from a German University. I would need advice and help regarding my visa and arbeitlosgeld.

I am registered and receiving Arbeitlosgeld from March 1 2025. My Bluecard expired on Jan 20, 2025 (my PR was rejected as I got a termination notification in Feb), and since then Ausländeramt has extended my Fiktionsbescheinigung thrice. Once until April 12, then April 30, then until July 29. In the meantime, I also applied for a visa extension(they call it a chancenkarte). Now I received a notification from Auslanderamt that they can't process for chancenkarte while I am receiving Arbeitslosengeld. The implication to me is that I have to stop receiving Arbeitslosengeld to get considered for Chancenkarte. I have already submitted my bank savings to the Auslanderamt, but they don't care about it.

I have sufficient savings to live, but also after having worked more than 2 yrs I believe I am entitled to receive Arbeitslosengeld, legally, until next year, Feb. Is losing ALG 1 the only way I can stay in DE? Their exact statement was "Da der Bezug von Arbeitslosengeld I nicht als Sicherung Ihres Lebensunterhalts gewertet werden kann, kann die Karte unter den jetzigen Voraussetzungen nicht erteilt werden."

Other notable points are: I am rigorously applying for jobs, doing skill courses, and also visiting the B2 Business course from BAMP on advice from Argenturfurarbeit, which runs until Nov 15, 2025.

Request for clarity for my rights of stay and receiving arbeitlosgeld.

Thanks

Arbeitlosgeld

Guten Tag,

I have worked as a researcher for at a Berlin university for more than 2 years and paid all contributions. My 18d residence permit ends when my employment contract ends. After this, I am entitled to a residence permit for up to 18 months to find new employment(AufenthG § 20). 

My question is, will I be eligible for Arbeitlosgeld on this type of residence permit?

Danke im Voraus,

Dr Meral

benefits section in work contract

Hello,

I have a question about the part of a work contract that i am considering to sign. This part is written under „Other benefits“ section.

– The employer does not currently maintain an employer-funded occupational pension scheme. The employee may request participation in a company pension scheme by way of deferred compensation within the framework of the statutory entitlements (§ 1a BetrAVG).

Does this  mean that company is not paying the pension (social insurance including health insurance, rentenversicherung, arbeitslosenversicherung, and pflegeversicherung) automatically? then should I request them additionally to pay the pension from my gross salary before signing this contract ?
 

Thank you for your work and support in advance..!

Changing from student visa to freelancer

I'm planning to change visa type from student residence permit (type D) to self-employed/freelancer visa. I heard it's risky, but I don't see any other options. I'm looking for positive recommendations, if you've known a similar case. What are the ways to strengthen my application?

Freelancer visa status and part time employment

Hi, I would like to ask a question regarding the conditions of the freelancer visa.

I'm currently applying to a freelancer visa after freelancing earning very low income (< 9k per year) for 2 years with the job seeker visa after graduating from masters in Germany. I am freelancing in my area of expertise considering the masters and previous bachelor field. I just started a new part time job with a fixed salary and benefits that will actually save my life because freelancing was definitely not enough. My question is if I am actually allowed to do it and if in my appointment with the auslanderbehorde I should ask for the zusatzblat with permission to work part time. 

I really cannot let this part time employment pass because apart from being in my field it's a really great opportunity. But also with part time I cannot apply for a work visa. So I just hope it is a negotiable thing with the auslanderbehorde when I meet them for my freelancer visa appointment in February. 

Thank you for your amazing work! Looking forward to hearing from you soon. Have a great weekend.

German Language or Work ! Best option as Asylum Seeker?

Dear Members.

I am an Asylum here in Germany since one year. currently i am in Integration course A2 (which will be completed in a couple of weeks) and then definitely B.1. But at the same time i also got the work permission for a Firma, but unfortunately the Firma work is one week day shift and another week night shift. so i am confused whether to choose Job (then i will quite the German Language Course) or choose Language. 

I have four major questions for getting detail information for each questions.

(1). What if i continue Language course till B.1 and then go back to my Auslanderbehorde for asking a work permission again. Do they will ok and will not ask for previous permission.

(2) If i join work, as it beneficial as i will pay tax and also will not get the Social Pocket money.

(3) Can i ask for any work permission (as the current permission is not expired yet with one year duration), if i found another Job (Night shift) only which will not contradict with language course. so they will allow it.

(4) What option is beneficial in general from the above options, as my Asylum case still in process  (If i got the positive result, so then this is definitely WOW, but if (God forbit - negative) then which of these options are supportive for me in future. 

Thank you.
