Hi everyone,
I am posting a forum for the fisrt time but keep on reading trust7. thank for all info sharing!
..coming back to my questions. As I read from Internet (thans I got link from trust7 forum) difference between §8 and §10 are mainly no of years of stay.
§10 means 8 years stay with 3 years Umbrefistet AE : so here you have Claim (anspruch).
§8 says you can apply even after 7 years stay: this is not a claim (ermessegung).
both cases you should be working/earing money and other things like good records etc. are same.
If this is correct then §10 has better chances of success, is that right ?
In my case I have umbefristet AE for last 3 years and 8 years stay fulfilling §10
see short info
2000-2004 worked at Univ. in Bayern (wiss. mitarbei.)
Till then 2000-2002 got visa AB (aufeth. beweligung)
2003-2004 AE (after submitting letter from Professor)
2004-2006 worked Max. plank. in Berlin
2005 got NE (Berlin accepted that Bayern made mistake of issuing AB for firts 2 years)
2006 onwards working in Frankfurt
Should I care that my application goes via §10. How ? Who decides if application files thru §8 or §10.
I don't see any field on Application form where you can cross or chose §10 or §8.
EB Amt told me to fill in application form my period of AB visa as they need it for process. Furthermore, ausländerbehörde will decide if my AB is to be considerd as AE or first 2 years or not. Also they said why should I care if its §8 or §10. Anyway Hessen counts AB also as stay period and so I shouldn#t worry.
Can anyone guide me if I should care on that and how could I influence filing thru §10 or § 8 and is it really needed ? Additionaly EB amt said only in case I loose job then it will be problem for §8 case. But isn't it also true for §10 ? I would appreciate your comments and help so that I don't do any mistake before filing application. thanks in advance.
