At the time that was not my intention at all, I just wanted that GCs pay atention and be very careful. However, at the time I could not imagine that after 1.1.05 we will have some sort of vacuum where every GC who wants to change his job (because for example somebody else is willing to pay more :-) ) has to postpone or even cancel this because of ABH ? And also, reading this posts - always the same pattern that I have also experienced - at AA people are very polite and nice, at ABH you get completely other kind of treatment.
@dvd: I have read your post carefuly. One normally cannot get Arbeitslosengeld if he has no "jobsuche" visa. I have got ALG for some 20 days :-), so at the time I went first to AA but they sent me then to ABH to get this gray peace of paper ("jobsuche" visa). Then you get ALG, so you are not illegaly in D.
Something else, very important. 1) GC visa is connected to one company. So it is invalid when you change / lose your job. This is ok. 2) You go to AA, and get new Zusicherung, the same way as when you search job first time. This is not logical. If it is so, ok, then I should get another 5 years for new company. 3) In 2002 I change my WP and visa for new company. Also in 2001, my wife did so and also in 2002. Every time the same pattern: Zusicherung, then visa. I had some short and nice discussion with lady in AA because my company did erased "für neueinreisende" from the Zusicherung (on the top of the paper). But she said, noo.. you are all "neueinreisende". Ok, I did not care because I have got all the papers and everything was ok. Then in 2004, I have changed my job again. The same lady sends me the Zusicherung, but she crosses the part where is written that the "zusicherung" is valid as work permit for 3 months. I call her to ask whats this, and she says this time that I have to use Zusicherung, make new Visa and change my yellow workpermit immediately before I start to work. The explanation why: "You have anyway already green card and you are just changing your job, and you are not neueinreisende". I did so, and everything was fine. But different than before.
So now my question: Why, oh why should any GC have problems to change job ? The ItArgV says explicitly you "can" get work permit for new company over and over again, up to 5 years. Probably the guys from info4alien.de would say "can", but not "must" :-) , and there you go, bye-bye green card. I do not get it. And especially I do not get this part where some/most GC visas are just for only one company. To be honest - this is not written anywhere in ItArgV and also it is not written in any publicly available document, and last but not the least: it was not presented so in german TV in 2000 when they were calling IT people to come to Germany. If I knew at the time that it was going to be that way I would probably go to Canada. |
