Returned all originals, said processing would take about three months, and said we'd have to go back to get the visa put into the passport.salars wrote:Thanks for the update on the docs. Did they return all originals or did they take them?

It is valid for a period of five years. That is considered 'permanent', the idea being that you will be able to apply for citizenship afterwards, provided you satisfy some further conditions.openujs wrote:I have a question - is german green card for professional is a permanent green card or temporary. Based on what i read, they changed this green card scheme in 2005 and made it a permanent. Please verify!!
My gf applied around 7th July and so far we've heard nothing!Altan wrote:Hi,
Do you guys have any update on processing times for german work permits? I heard that current processing times between 6-8 weeks, but I'd love to hear how long your applications took.
Also I wonder if the process is different for Niederlassungserlaubnis, I assume, if your salary is more than 85k euros, your application should be automatically considered for Niederlassungserlaubnis.
In case of Niederlassungserlaubnis, do you think if it helps to work with a local german immigration attorney?
She applied for a visa for basically a year working in Germany as part of her degree. It was arranged by the Uni but they just assumed everyone was a non-visa national, hence our panic!Altan wrote:Steve,
Sorry to hear that. But she is in the 6th week, I hope you receive someting very soon. Don't forget to update this topic!
By the way, did she applied for an IT position? which city? IT-related positions likely to be processed sooner, especially the sponsoring company located in the high-tech oriented cities like Munich.
Further update, four months and still nothing!Wanderer wrote:Just to bump this and add some info:
Due to a lingusitic misunderstanding on our part, we erroneously thought the German WP had been approved in principal. We were wrong, we have no progress news at all on the WP, it was the German company asking for more info, not the German Embassy/Labour Office.
So, we are now past three months since we applied and in reality we have heard nothing from the German authorities.
Rubbish aren't they!
