Hello,
I know there has been lot of thread on this topic but i just want to make sure i do the right thing in my case..
I have a BE Visa valid till 2011
I would be losing my job in the mid of July,I have worked for more then 18 months(full time) and nearly 2 years as a student.
My question is if i apply for Arbeitlos geld would my BE visa be shortened and changed to the number of months i am eligible for arbeitlos geld .

How should i proceed without getting my visa shortened?? Any info is highly appreciated

Most probably it maybe reduced, but depends on the caseofficer in the foreign office.

Best would be to get a job...any job for now to tide the bad times without applying for ALG(I).

Raj:
I wonder does he need to go to visa office if he loses his job. I think he can go directly to arbeitsagentur and get ALG.
I am not sure how long will arbeitsagentur give him ALG if he has BE.

as babashankar said
I also wonder why to go to visa office if you lose the job.
Can go directly to arbeitsagentur and apply for ALG1 and it depends on the number of years you worked and I think it has nothing to do with the validity of your BE visa.

Normally the Arbeitsamt sends people to Auslanderbehorde to get confirmation about their visa status, so i dont thinnk one can skip that process.

if u have BE and if your visa is valid Till 2011, then you get ALG1 for the maximum eligible time. Within this time if you were not able to find a job then you need to go to AB and get the "Jobsearch visa" depending on their mood :-)
I had this personal experience.

If somebody in the Arbeitsamt/AB tells that you are not eligible show them that your workpermit is not restricted to a company "in German" or if they cannot "read" the german text , may be you need to pump some money to the lawyer's pocket.

Mathew, thanks for your comment, here's another thread from info4alien that may be relevant:

http://www.info4alien.de/cgi-bin/forum/YaBB.cgi?num=1245919779/8#8

so, according to SGB III you can still get ALG I even if you don't have ANY Aufenthaltstitel currently, but can get it legally if you get a job offer, and it actually does not have much to do with BE.
