Hi friends,

My wife is working in Germany for the past one year and her contract is going to be over in 2 months, hence the visa will be expired in 2 months. The current contract can not be extended as the project is going to be over. She is already trying for some other jobs but if she did not get it within 2 months of time, she wants to stay further & look for jobs, in which case is it possible to change the current visa status to job seekers visa? If we provide the sufficient funds in her account, can we get this visa from here itself?

Your help is greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your time.

Regards
Arun

It will not be possible for her to apply for the "job search permit" (§18 c AufenthG) in Germany (see §18c Abs. 3). However, if she has any interviews scheduled she might be able to convince the ABH to issue her a short extension.
