Good afternoon to everyone,
please i really need an advice on my case, i applied for a residence permit under §28 as father of a German citizen since 19th Nov 2025 with complete documents till today no response from immigration office and i also sent reminders via email, contact form on January 15th and post with Einschreiben mit Unterschrift on 9th February still no response from them i has no criminal or fine record, my asylum is pending at administrative court which can not stop them from issuing the permit because §10 no1 said so because is a entitlement permit my girlfriend signed a written statement on how i care for my child which proof that I'm taking care of my child. My problem is no rejection, approve or response from them, i has B1 living in Germany certificate.

I don't know file a lawsuit is good idea now?

Hi @Chubby

I’m not sure if your situation has been resolved by now but I wish to provide an answer in any case. Yes, after three months without any response or action on the part of the immigration office, you can file a lawsuit of inactivity (Untätigkeitsklage) with the local administrative court (Verwaltungsgericht).

As we are not lawyers on this platform we cannot advise as to whether this is the best course of action. If you wish to file a lawsuit, then you should get legal advice beforehand. A lawsuit, however, will also take time and cost money. Have you tried contacting an organisation that provide free assitance to migrants such as a refugee social worker that provides support in your asylum housing or a migrant advisory service (Migrationsberatung  - MBE)?

The only possible issue I can see at present in your case is that you are still living in asylum accommodation. This cannot be held against you, however, as you have requested to move and your partner has confirmed you are caring for your child. Strictly sparking, the permit § 28 is for parents who have shared custody (gemeinsames Sorgerecht) but can also be issued to parents who do not have this.

Best,

Éanna
