1. No your time will not be counted afresh. If you have lived and worked here already since three years, are qualified and do a job with salary higher than about 45K/33K, you will get a Niederlassung according to §19a already now

2. Law §19 2.3 where specialists or managers could get a Niederlassung by earning 67K or more, will be cancelled now.

See my post.

Hi,
how would you interpret below?
Is B1 a requirement for getting NE after 3 years as well ?

-------------------------------------------
– Inhaber einer befristeten Blauen Karte EU erhalten grundsätzlich nach drei Jahren
eine Niederlassungserlaubnis; soweit ein Arbeitsvertrag fortbesteht und soweit
deutsche Sprachkenntnisse der Stufe B1 nachgewiesen werden, wird die
Niederlassungserlaubnis bereits nach zwei Jahren erteilt (§ 19a Absatz 6 des
Aufenthaltsgesetzes),
--------------------------------------------

Hi t7 members,

today the 'Bundesrat' will decide about the Bluecard...

http://www.bundesrat.de/cln_235/nn_6898/DE/service/thema-aktuell/12/20121008-Vorschau-896.html?__nnn=true

This will be the last step before it comes into effect.

So let us all hope the best!

Detlef

Hi maverick,

This is great news! When will it come to effect exactly?

Also, how is it possible to know exactly which professions are eligible for applying with a 34.944 yearly income?

Any chance of getting the citizenship faster than 6/7/8 years with the new law? I already have the NL for Highly qualified with pension contributions of more than 60 months but not continuos stay of that period

and what happens to the family visa after 3 years after the main visa holder gets a NE. Does the family also get the NE after 3 years instead of normal 5 years? Has the law changed in this respect as well?

Hi,

I just updated the Bluecard website:

Hi Detlef,

I know you have been active in this topic, I just have a quick question that could not figure out of the new law:

- is a current work permit holder ( say employer independent) working here for 2-3 years, would be elligeble for getting the NE also with suffisant german skills ? or does this applies only to the new folks applying for Blue card only?( which means, for a current WP holder, he needs to wait till completing 5 years and then apply for NE ?)


Thanks
Alex

Hi Alex,

the new Bluecard law has not come into effect yet. So everything is unsafe. Even the involved people at the alien offices do not know yet.

If and how the Bluecard will help people who are already in Germany... we will learn this later.

Good luck
Detlef

let see then!

Thanks
Alex
