Dear @Mwiki02,

Welcome back to the Wefugees Community and thank you for your question. 

First of all, I think it is a very big step and a positive development that the immigration office issued a residence permit according to section 25b of the German Residence Act after you found yourself in a limbo for several years. This is something you can build on. The "Niederlassungserlaubnis" (permanent residence permit), however, requires that people hold a temporary residence permit for at least 5 years. I found a very nice overview which depicts the steps well.

For a full list of the requirements for the Niederlassungserlaubnis you may also follow this link, for instance (here exemplary for Berlin residents).

I hope this helps and please don't hesitate to get back to us with any further questions.

All the best,

Meike

Please did you cancel your asyl with the court before your Landratsamt gave you the permits?  I have been in Germany since 2015 and I also have Aufentaltgestattung with unlimited working permits and two kids, do I also qualify for my residence permits please? Because I heard that once you have been living in Germany for 6 years and with kids, you are entitled to residence permits if you can afford 3 years working payment slips and A2 course as minimum
