Dear @ERKHTS,

Welcome back to the Wefugees Community and thank you for sharing your situation with us.

If you are married to an EU citizen who is entitled to the "freedom of movement" within the EU (she is an employee in Germany, for instance) and you actually live together as a family, you have the right to stay in Germany as well. Please see section 2 of the Freedom of Movement Act/EU for more details. Your marriage is recognised/registered in Germany? If yes, I would not see a problem regarding the extension of the residencey permit card. For a full list of the requirements, you may also see this website (tailored for applicants living in Berlin though).

Do you agree dear @mbeon-fardeen or @mbeon-Christine?

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

All the best,

Meike

Hi ErKHts

Ich würde gerne wissen, wie Sie letztendlich aus dieser verdammten Aufenthaltsgestattung herausgekommen sind, und ich wäre Ihnen dankbar, wenn Sie mir die Einzelheiten Ihres Bewerbungsverfahrens mitteilen könnten 这是我的邮箱fx294984590@gmail.***

Ich bin in der gleichen Situation wie Sie, mein Ehepartner ist auch Europäer und sie ist nicht deutsch, wie können wir also aus dieser Situation herauskommen, wenn wir beiden verheiratet sind?
