More German WP fun!!

[Wanderer]

My Russian partner is now coming to end of her first six month placement from Uni in Germany.

The next placement is ready and waiting but now they say they don't want her to start till 15th Mar, ie two weeks after her current placement finishes.

We were hoping to extend the current WP or get a new one without any gap but this is looking unlikely now.

Does German immigration law have any version of our Section 3 whereby if at least she's applied she is still legal. Otherwise it looks like another applicaion via the London Consulate which took nealy four months last time.

Can she stay 'in-country' or does she have to return to UK?

You write "My Russian partner", which makes me curious.

Are you an EU/EEA citizen?
Are you living with her in Germany?

I am EU citizen but not living with her in Germany. I am British in UK. She has UK student visa but is in germany on placement.

Actually the company she is currently with have been very good, and are extending the WP for a month to give the next placement people more time so there's no 'gap'!
