As many know, I've started gathering questions that could be relevant to a FAQ on the site, as a lot of people keep on asking over and over questions that have already been answered throughout the forum.

And I would like some help from you and I hope Detlef will allow me and authorize this: please list in this thread all the questions you thnik relevant to a FAQ. I will keep on adding them to my list and take time during my free time (and I got a lot these days) to cruise the forum and start collecting the answers to the questions so they could be in a real FAQ. And so we have people answering kinda upset "RTF" (Read The Forum) but asking to simply consult the FAQ and will be pleased that people read the FAQ then and if and only if the answers are not clear then post their questions on the forum (In case they have questions, as sometimes, people only feel to write something, and this is continually pleasant).

Thanks *.

1. I have GC now, am I entitled to get NE ?

2. AE says I have first to collect 60 pensions to get NE, is that correct ?

3. AE wants to perform AMC on me due to change of job / request for NE, is that correct ?

4. I have lost my job , am I allowed to stay in Germany / how long ?

5. I have company-binded visa, can I get better one ?

and a couple of questions from my side which I have answered/seen several times in the Forum.

6-) I studied in Germany X years before getting GC/I had "Aufenthaltsbewilligung", can those years be counted when I apply for NE/Citizenship ?

7-) I heard that 7 years is enough for applying german citizenship. Under which circumstances can this be done ?

8-) Is there any salary limit when I apply for workpermit as an IT Professional/Non-IT Professional ?

9-) What are the avarege salary levels in Germany for IT Proefessionals ? Company X offers me Y salary in state Z, is it acceptable ?

10-) How long does it take to go through workpermit application ?

11-) Do I need to go to Arbeitsamt for workpermit application ? Is ABH responsible for every alien related questions ?

12-) What is the difference between BE and EG ?

13-) Can I be self-employed with BE/EG ?

14-) What is ABH,EG,BE,AMC,AMP,NE ? I am very confused with the forum terminology.

15-) What does BeschV 46.2 mean to a GC ? Shall I get it before NE ?

16-) I have 5 years limited contract, what happens when I apply for NE ?

17-) ABH Officer tells me BeschV 46.2 does not apply to me. What is wrong ? Show me the law paragraph which says that paragraph applies to me.

18-) My wife/husband wants to work. What shall we do ? I heard husband/wife can work/get work-permit after X years. Is it true ? Does he/she have to go through AMC ?

19-) What about the Taxes ? I want to declare my taxes now. Shall I hire a Tax Consultant, be a member of "Steuerverein" or buy a tax declaration software ?

20-) I want to deduct X from my taxes. Would that be ok ?

21-) I have NE, can I be self-employed ?

22-) Can I leave Germany X years/months and come back and keep my status in Germany. What if I do the same thing within EU ?

23-) I heard that some EU-Directive should be accepted, I want to work in Country X which is in EU. Can I work there with my German permanent residence permit(NE) ?

Nobody, what is the current status of your FAQ efforts? I am slowly getting the idea that you are too busy with your business stuff and no time to deal with that, and I don't see any FAQ link on the site. Am I missing here?

People are asking the same questions again and again, and people are talking about some basic stuff with extremous corner-cases in deep, breathless discussions, which makes people feel bored...

And the performance of the web site is getting worse. Searches take a lot of seconds now..

What are your opinions and what is the current situation?

Dear NoBody and many others,
I have learned a great deal from people like yourself as well as others who studied and followed the development of the Immigration law and in my opinion, could be more informative than many Lawyers out there . The experience gained is valuable for many of us. I hope this FAQ will take off.
