Hi @Kaiser
There is a new set of laws regarding residency for skilled workers. These come into effect on 01.03.2024. Under these, asylum seekers can withdraw their asylum application and obtain a resident permit for a skilled job, if they entered Germany before 29.03.2023. To my knowledge there is no required time a person has to have been working beforehand to get this.
Asylum seekers can currently obtain 19d if they complete their Ausbildung and at that point have a Duldung (i.e. their asylum case has been withdrawn or rejected and they are obliged to leave the country but cannot for a particular reason).
Under the new law, the special type of temporary paper called ‚Ausbildungsduldung‘ will be replaced by a full residence permit under a paragraph 16g which is to be introduced. A person with a Duldung who finds an Ausbildung will be given the permit 16g for the duration of the Ausbildung.
Best,
Éanna
