I have been in Germany since september 2004 and have an Arbeitserlaubnis valid for 5 years and my visa was stamped back then with an Aufenthaltserlaubnis valid till 31.07.2008 with anmerkungen: § 10 Abs. 2AuslG

The following is written on the opposite page in the passport:

Ausübung einer Erwerbstätigkeit nicht gestattet, mit Ausnahme einer Tätigkeit als IT-Fachkraft, längstens bis zum 31.07.2008. Arbeitsaufnahme nur gemäß gültiger Arbeitsgenehmigung gestattet.

Questions:

I would like to know what my rights are regarding BE, NE when the time comes.
Anybody has experience with § 10 Abs. 2AuslG ? (check the following link) http://www.aufenthaltstitel.de/auslg.html#10

Am I the only one with that case?
It seems so!

I think you can apply for BE after you have paid 36 months of rente. It means if you have started working since Sep 2004, you can apply for BE in September with the proof of rente payment.

Best regard

Thanks mk for your reply.

That's what I thought myself but I am not sure anymore after I read § 10 Abs. 2AuslG.

If anybody else has or had § 10 Abs. 2AuslG as anmerkung, I'd like to read what you have to say, your personal experience with it or your knowledge about it.
