I am a Palestinian from Gaza, and I have been married to my wife, who holds Ukrainian citizenship, for 13 years in Gaza. We have four children, who also hold Ukrainian citizenship.
After the war in Gaza began, the Ukrainian embassy evacuated my wife and children to Egypt and then to Ukraine. Unfortunately, I was not allowed to leave with them because I do not hold Ukrainian citizenship.
A month after arriving in Ukraine, my wife and children traveled to Germany, where they received protection status under Paragraph 24 in December 2023 and have remained there since.
I managed to leave Gaza for Egypt in April 2024 and had a family reunification interview at the German embassy in Cairo in August. However, to this day, I have not received any response from the relevant authorities in Germany or the embassy.
I want to know if it is possible for me to obtain a family reunification visa, and if so, under which regulation would I qualify? Please note that I have four young children, the youngest being one year and two months old, and my wife cannot work because she is caring for the youngest child.
My other children attend school regularly and are learning the language well. Additionally, I am staying in Egypt without a residence permit, as the Egyptian government only grants us entry permits without residency.
Thank you.
