Hi dear wefugees team, I would like to have some information about marriage case with a German national and with people who are in student residence permit status?
 If I marry a German national does it effect my student status?
Do i have to transfer my residence permit? What happens after i finish my studies? Will they renew my residence permit based on my marriage without giving me the job search visa for 18 months?

Dear @Jeddy,

Welcome back to the Wefugees Community and thank you for reaching out to us again.

As far as I know, there is nothing like an obligation to apply for another residence permit (in this case for the residence permit according to section 28 of the German Residence Act) after the marriage. The immigration office will anyway not simply "change" your residence permit without your prior application. On the other hand, keep in mind that a residence permit as spouse of a German citizen may give you the chance to apply for a permanent residence permit (Niederlassungserlaubnis) already after 3 years. For more information on this follow this link, for instance (describing the process in Berlin though).

I will also link our dear @mbeon-Christine and @mbeon-fardeen here. Do you agree or/and is there anything you would like to add?

In any case, please don't hesitate to get back to us with any further questions.

All the best,

Meike

Thank you for your response. One of your colleagues had mentioned that I can apply for German passport after two years of living together not three years because I am already on student visa i have been living in Germany since three years so is that correct also?

And after registering my marriage at the Standesamt will they change my student status or will they only extend my residence permit for three years or one year?
