hi experts,
I have my independent Auftenthaltstitel till 2012.
In Aug 2009, due to down economy i have been asked by my employer to leave this company.I rendered my servise for more than 4 yrs as a permanent employee. My employer gave me good compensation (Abfindung) and arbeitamst gave me 60% of my net salary for 1 year, as i was entitled for.
meantime i was looking for the job in Germany, but couldn't get through.I came to india on mid of March 2010 to apply for jobs. I explained to Arbeitamts that wanted to go to different country (US n India) for interview purpose.They have no problem in this therefore i went to India for giving interviews.
I don't want to loose my German Visa status.
My question is how long i can stay in india, which should not hamper my Auftenthaltstitel .
How long one can stay out of germany in this situation? My visa is valid till Nov 2011 and i am getting arbeitlosgeld too.
since i got a job in India, I want to go back to Germany in the month of July to deregister from KVR because this deregister form will help me in getting Provident fund after 2 yearrs and i have some more bank and tax work(pending)in Germany.Is this okay if i go back to germany just for 1 week after 4 -5 months.
Kindly let me know.I will wait for your reply.
Thanks for your comprehention.

As far as i know if you are getting unemployment money then you are not supposed to leave the country and prove them you are looking for a job here the soon they know you have a job they will stop paying you.Also the validity of Auftenthaltstitel is only few months if you loose the job dosen't matter if you got a stamp till 2012 so its better you find a job soon here.Auftenthaltstitel is not Niederlassung,better know even Niederlassung is invalid if a person stays out of Germany for more than 6 months so definitely you are going to have problem if you stay in India for more than 2months.Also keep in mind by deregistering itself you loose the Auftenthaltstitel status as you are no more living working or paying Social Security.
