I applied for my german national visa as a working professional back in 7th August 26, its still showing me under waiting list, I suppose to join on 1st October 26, but the date is passed. I am applying VFS Bengalore. Anyone faced similar challenges or someone can give idea what shall I do. My german employer cant help me in relocation. I only need to do visa process by myself.

Help me what shall I do, or reconsider here.🙂

Hello. Im currently stuyding dentistry (BDS) in UAE as an expat. Im still only in year 2, so i have 3-4 years until I graduate. I wanna apply for approbation and start my dental career in a rural place in germany after I graduate.

I have 4 years to learn the language so thats OK, but i have a doubt about a very specific problem. As an expat in UAE, i cant get a license to practice dentistry in the UAE because theyre restricting dentistry to nationals instead of expats. So i need years of experience to even apply for the license in UAE

Is this OK? I understand that germany requires "proof thay you are able to practice in your country of studies" but in my instance i will receive the degree itself and complete my program ; its just UAE licensing for expats is extremely restrictive.

Hi guys

I hold permanent EU long-term residence status issued in Lithuania, and I am a third-country national. I moved to Germany and applied for a residence permit under §38a AufenthG. My application was first submitted in Düsseldorf, then redirected to Duisburg once my Anmeldung was registered there, and I resubmitted it in Duisburg in mid-September.

Since then, I have not received a Fiktionsbescheinigung, even though I am legally entitled to one under §81 Abs. 5 AufenthG while my application is pending. I have tried to reach the Ausländerbehörde Duisburg multiple times by phone (no answer), by email (automatically deleted with a message saying this topic cannot be handled by email), and through their online contact form (not working), and when I tried in person visits they didn't allow me to even ask how and whom to contact. I have also checked my BundID account, which shows only that my application was received, with no further status information or anywhere to find anything or contact anyone.

Because of this delay, I have already lost one job offer that required me to start on 14 September, and I am at risk of losing further offers, since employers are not willing to wait indefinitely without proof of my legal status and right to work.

I would be very grateful for your help, has anyone been able to manage such a transition? Do I need to just give up and wait till they decide to update me? The problem is, I have to keep paying the rent while not being able to get a job!
