Hello @roengr786,
thank you for reaching out to the Wefugees community.
The job seekers visa cannot be extended, but changed into a work permit if your wife finds work here. This would be simply the best solution to your problem. A job seekers visa cannot be changed into a visa for immigration of a spouse.
Spousal reunification is subject to the following conditions:
- Both spouses must be at least 18 years of age.
- As a general rule, as a spouse coming to Germany for the purposes of family reunification, you must be able to make yourself understood in everyday German on a simple level. You can learn the language in Germany in exceptional cases.
- Adequate accommodation must be available.
- Your livelihood must be ensured. This means that the person who is already in Germany must have sufficient income so that the couple will not need to apply for any social welfare benefits if the person coming to Germany does not yet have a job.
