Hi Alol,

you can apply for permament residency after 5 years, normally, in your case, that should be from the time you arrived in Germany (so starting in 2013) so that you would be able to apply in 2018. (-->in case you received refugee status or subsidiary protection). In some cases, howeverm the period may not take into account the time before you received your residency permit (-->you should check this point carefully with the authorities)

Until recently it was possible to apply for permanent residence Permit generally after 3 years. This has now been extended to 5 years. However, it is in exceptional cases still granted after 3 years. For this you would need - among other things - according to my information a German language skills level of C1 (but you should inquire further if your B2 may be sufficient).

Your son will become German citizen once you have been staying in Germany legally for a period of 8 consecutive years provided that you then have a permanent resideny permit.

Thank you very much, would you please advise me in which circumstances I can apply for it after 3 years?
German skills, Level C1
German skills Level C1, you must be able to gain your living almost entirely by yourself (I would recommend you to find out with the Ausländerbehörde what that exactly means in your case), you must have your own place to live, you must have done an Integration course and be a recognised refugee (for instance a "Duldung" is not sufficient)
the requirements are set out in § 26 (3) 3 Ausfenthaltsgesetz
Thanks, this is really helpful, from what you wrote, I see that I just need the C1 as I work full time since 3 years and never got any money from the government an I have my rented apartment, do you pleas have recommendations for lawyers who do not charge a lot
