Dear @Momokad,
Welcome to the Wefugees Community and thank you for your question.
Regarding the so-called "Chancen-Aufenthaltsrecht" (the one year "trial period" for long term Duldung holders), it is still valid what I described in this thread - as is it unfortunately not totally clear yet how and when it will be implemented. The details are still negotiated on federal government (parliament) level.
The current draft says, however, that people with a so-called "Duldung light" are also able to receive this one year residence permit. Within this one year, applicants need to clarify their identity though - which usually implies to submit a passport. Otherwise they will be issued a Duldung again.
And you are right: the current government parties also initially agreed in their coalition contract on abandoning the "Duldung light" in general. However, this policy change is not yet part of any legislative package or draft, as far as I know. I really hope the governemt will still stick to their original plans and publishes a respective draft/suggestion for the implementation of such a law soon.
I hope this helps and please don't hesitate to get back to us with any further questions.
All the best,
Meike
