Visa Questions

RE: Family reunion visa, wife working in another city

Umschalten
Hello all,


My wife has been offered a 50% PhD position in another city in Germany.
For this reason I want to explore what our options are for her to
proceed further with her PhD.

She is on a Family Reunion visa in Germany since July 2013 and her visa
states the permission to work in Germany. I have
Niederlassungserlaubnis. Additionally, she would be completing her
Master studies from LMU in Munich around Spetember 2015. The PhD
position starts from October and will be for 3 years. Her current visa
is valid till August 2017.


The conditions for a family reunion visa state that both the partners
should be cohabiting. While this condition makes perfect sense, I was
not able to find a legal definition of the same, as we plan that she
comes back to Munich over the weekends and hence maintain her residence
in Munich.


My questions are,
  • What could be the possible consequences when she maintains her residence in Munich by visiting every weekend?
  • If she does register in another city (anmeldung) as a second home (zweitwohnsitz), does this still violate the conditions for a family reunion visa?
  • Do we need to change her visa category if the terms of family reunion visa are no longer being fulfilled? If yes, then can she be granted a Study or Work visa based on her PhD contract
    (and the fact that she'll be a graduate from a German university)?
  • How does this whole arrangement affect the tax class (and hence, the finanzamt)?

Hi,

I am in the same situation. My husband has a blue card and i hold family dependent visa along with "erwerbstätigkeit gestattet" stated in my visa. I got an opportunity to work in another city? I am also planning to visit my spouse on the weekends. Am i allowed to work like that?

Can you please answer it?

Thanks.

I got the following info directly from the people working at the ABH,

In summary, you should be able to demonstrate that your main residence is still with your husband.
