Question

Hello

Im here in germany for more than 8 years and i m working for 7 years i did ausbildung long time ago but i never passed theorie but i passed practical test i didnt wanted to complete it because of some reasons but i still get the job in the same company. Now my question is do i still need B1  even i go to school 3 years in germany. Someone here also didnt passed theorie in ausbildung but he got niederlassung erlaubnis without b1 due to his 3 years school.

Dear @Amirmalik1112, 

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

I am afraid that I can not give you a general answer on your question. As far as I know, for proving the German language level B1, the authorities usually ask for 4 years enrollment in a German school, (successfully) finishing the 10th grade, or complete the integration course, for instance. 

Am I right on this, dear @mbeon-fardeen? In any case, I would recommend you to contact the immigration office (Ausländerbehörde) to get an individual and reliable assessment of your situation or to register for a B1-exam directly. 

Also don’t hesitate to get back to us with any further questions. 

All the best, 

Meike
