| Hey dude,
you really know how to dig old threads :-)
I just had a called from my wife who was back from the Arbeitsamt, I asked her to go get a form to fill before we go to the Ausländeramt monday morning. She told me the lady she has seen gave her a list of documents she has to bring for that: our pass, anmelde bescheinigung, heiratsurkunde, and that when these papers will be submitted to her, she will have to send a request to the Ausländeramt and see if she can get a work permit.
That means we really need to get the mention removed from her passport first, this we will try to handle on Monday, God's willing.
One request I can make to you YO, is not to "send" the papers but deliver them by yourself, then you will know they had been received.
One thing I remember from my last job, when I submitted my dismissal letter, is that I could have sent it by post, but it's better to have it made as if you will sent it by post but bring it there yourself. Meaning, you make a good MS Word document for that, printi it, sign it, make 3 copies of it, bring it *yourself* at the Ausländeramt, gives the person in charge of your case 2 copies and hold one for your file.
He/She can then read it just there and give you an overview of what should be made and how it should be handled.
The most important thing is to try to get rid of that just there, or at least in the next 2 days and then directly make a letter to the Arbeitsamt, that you will submit in the same way.
As DvD said yesterday, the most important is not to have the work permit this year but to *submit the application this year* because even if the new year is reached without the WP, as you've done your request this year, before the law enters in force, then you will be dependant of the actual law and not the new one.
And in that case, if they refuse, you do as we don't fear to do since we got a Rechtschutz :-) You sue them :-)
But don't take the result of the court directly with you, keep it in your wallet when you are there, and if and only if the guy there seems to be negative enough, just tell him that you do have the right and that you can prove it by the court paper, but don't mention this on first go, you will look like putting a gun on his head and people really don't like that.
I hope I've answered you boy, and I already wish you a nice week-end. I will post the result of the journey to the Ausländeramt on monday.
