    Getting one of these appointments is the most frustrating experience I ever had with an immigration office. It takes forever. As my first time in Germany entering with a Schengen visa, for my semester abroad. I was not prepared for how hard it is to get the permit. It took me a while successfully registered my address and get a bank account as my appointments for those get delayed back. Then I have to get an insurance and a block account which by the time I did I only had about 6 weeks left so I apply for an appointment through the online portal which gave me no response for 3 weeks and then submit a paper appointment request and nothing came of it yet. This appointment thing is too much of a road block combine with all the other stuff u have to prepare and appointments u have to make every for every step of the way make it feels like marathon. This german appointment thing make everything too annoyingly slow. I just probably gonna have to leave and finish my classes online but this is one of the worst immigration system ever. I heard a lot about how effective and efficient Germans are before I came, well now I know how BS that is. Doing all the appointment by post takes along as time why cant u just show appointment availability slots online and have people select and apply for it. I just don’t understand

    I am an American retiree. I have my own retirement plan from my previous career. I do not need or want help from the government. I am on my second extension from my initial residence application. I am told I am not a priority because of my citizenship and ability to take care of myself financially. I signed my Aufenthaltstitel back in June and have my Fiktionsbescheinigung. What I don't understand is why it is taking so long to get the card. There doesn't seem to be anyone that can even tell me the status of the card. Perhaps I should come out of retirement and apply for a job at the AB to help move things along. 🙄🤪

    Hi Yana, do you know how it works if you change the city you live in? My boyfriend from Venezuela came to Berlin with a working visa for 90 days that was supposed to be extended here as he has an unlimited working contract. Now we want to move to Bremen and he still doesn't have an appointment to extend it. Do you know if he can go to the Ausländerbehörde in Bremen? Also if he wants to change the job? As his current visa will expire I doubt that he will be able to get the Wohnungsanmeldung in Bremen, but Berlin is simply impossible. It's all a mess and we don´t know what to do. Help, please...

    • @HalloGermany
      @HalloGermany  Рік тому +1

      Hi, sorry to hear about the confusion. As per my experience, immigration related matters are handled by the authority in the city you are registered in. So if you move to Bremen and manage register there somehow, he should hopefully be able to apply through the immigration authorities there. Without a registration in Bremen I don't think they can handle the case. In that case, I would suggest to try and send an email to LEA in Berlin. You can learn more about this here: ua-cam.com/video/5MXwKoB-4QU/v-deo.html. Hope this helps!

I got the work permit in my home country but upon arrival my employer took me to a different city. Do I start the entire process again or I'll just extend the visa?

    Hi Hello Germany, Thank you for the wonderful work that you do. I would like to let you know that I'm on a JobSeeker Visa and it expires on March 6th 2023 and I have got a job offer with MoneyGram in Frankfurt as a Sales Operations Analyst. The Bundesagentur für Arbeit has not yet started its analysis on my job.
    My query Is if I get an appointment at the Bundesagentur für Arbeit After 6th March,2023 will I be able to stay in Germany or should I take initiative now to extend the JobSeeker Visa considering that I have a valid Job offer.
    Please do advise me on this

Do you know if i am able to have a minijob with an "ungultig" residence permit?? The only thing i have is an automatic answer of the german authorities saying that until they dont answer, the email i sended to them works as a "temporal" aufenhanstitel only in German territories....

    Hallo Jana,
    Thank you for the insightful video, it was very helpful.
    My employer has terminated my contract after me having obtained the residence permit (EU Blaue Karte) last month. In the meantime, I have managed to secure a job offer from another employer and the joining date on the contract is stated as 1st of February 2023. I have heard that the residence permit (EU Blaue Karte) needs to be backed by an employment contract and since now I have been terminated, I have only 3 months to secure another fulltime job offer. I wanted to know that can I request my local Auslanderbehorde to extend this period so that I can start working with my new employer from February 2023?

    • @HalloGermany

    2. If Yes, Can I apply for a Work Permit (for 2 years) and then after 2 years apply for EU Blue Card (4 years)?
    3. EU Blue Card is for 4 years, after 4 years Can I extend EU Blue Card because on the Hamburg official website, Extension of EU Blue Card is not mentioned?
