Hi everybody,

I have a question regarding WP/RP but first I will summarise my situation:
- I am employed by a telecom company which is using me to provide a consultancy service in another organisation, the consultancy contract will end in May 2005.
- The consultancy position will be available for open competition, I can apply for it through my current company or I can do that with a different company "for a better package". To do the second option I have to resign and be employed by the new company, the new employment contract will be signed only if they win the consultancy contract.
- I have an aufenhalterlaubnis (not a GC holder) since July 2001. My RP/WP will expire in end of June 2005, in the case the new company doesn't win the contract I will be jobless starting from beginning of June 2004.

Does anybody know if the above scenario mean I have to leave Germany end of June 2005 or I can have a chance to stay for a while to look for another job? Of course by June 2005 I will complete 4 years with legal residency with my family in Germany (paying all taxes, pension, etc, never got any help from the government).

Thanks a lot in advance and sorry for disturbing you with this long post.

Wael
