I applied for asylum in 2014 and did my interview in April 2023 and up till now, I have not received decision from BAMF.
I did Einstiegsqualifikation plus Sprache and also have B1 in German.I passed my two years Ausbildung as Fachkraft für metalltechnik in July 2020 and I work as helper till April 2022 but since may 2022, I have been working as a metallbauer (Fachkraft für metalltechnik) till date and I have a permanent contract.
I want to know if I qualify for the new law on skilled job so that I could withdraw my asylum application.
Thanks

Hi @Austyn09

Yes, based on what you have written, you can withdraw your asylum claim and be given a residence permit as a skilled worker (Fachkraft). This is called ‘Spurwechsel’ in German and means changing from the part of the immigration law that covers asylum to the part that covers employment.

This article gives a good overview of changing from one type of residency to another and it has detailed information on this ‘Spurwechsel’ option:
