Dear @Hellothere and welcome back to the Wefugees Community.
I fully understand that the wait and uncertainty can be grueling. However, as long as your aslyum case is pending, you are most probably holding an "Aufenthaltsgestattung" and are also allowed to work etc. and you are not obliged to leave the country.
At Asyl.net I found a helpful explanation (translated via Google Translate) about the Residence Permit according to section 25 (5):
"A residence permit in accordance with Section 25 Paragraph 5 of the Residence Act can be issued to people who are obliged to leave the country but cannot leave the country for legal or factual reasons for which they are not responsible and it is not expected that this reason will expire in the foreseeable future will be eliminated. This must be a “domestic-related” obstacle to deportation – impending dangers in the destination country in the event of a return are not relevant in this context. These must be asserted in the asylum procedure (possibly with a follow-up application) or as part of an application for a ban on deportation.
Domestic-related obstacles to deportation could, for example, be long-term health-related obstacles to deportation that result in an inability to travel. Another example would be if leaving the country is impossible and will remain foreseeable due to a lack of transport connections or the impossibility of obtaining the necessary documents. Family connections in Germany can represent a long-term, domestic-related obstacle to deportation, whereby the question of other residence permits often comes into question and the question of the reasonableness of a temporary separation in order to catch up on the visa process must also be examined. Rootedness in Germany to such an extent that the person concerned is a “de facto resident” can also be considered an obstacle to deportation in this sense.
The residence permit will not be issued if the person concerned is unable to leave the country due to their own fault. This primarily includes cases in which it is impossible to leave the country because the person concerned provides false information about their identity or nationality or does not cooperate in obtaining identity documents. The wording in the present tense makes it clear that such behavior only precludes the granting of a residence permit if it is currently still ongoing. Deception or poor cooperation in the past are not grounds for exclusion.
The immigration authority decides on the issue of a residence permit in accordance with Section 25 Paragraph 5 of the Residence Act at its discretion (“can be issued”). If deportation has been suspended for at least 18 months, the “may” becomes “should”.
The residence permit according to Section 25 Paragraph 5 Residence Act can be issued in deviation from the general granting requirements of Section 5 Paragraph 1 Residence Act. For example, if you don't have a valid passport or if your livelihood is not secured. The immigration authorities also decide on this at their discretion."
For more information (in various langauges) you may also want to see Handbook Germany on this.
I highly recommend you to contact a refugee counselling office (the most specialised will be the so-called "Asylverfahrensberatung"/asylum procedure counselling) - they can ask the BAMF about your individual procedure and may also apply to inspect your BAMF-files to understand what is going on.
I hope this helps and don't hesitate to get back to us with any further questions.
All the best,
Meike
