Hi Guys,

I am failing to understand the rush to go to ABH for spouse wp. From the following extract from Section 20 of the new law, it is clear that if your spouse is 2 years in Deutschland, he/she should get the wp.

(5) Without prejudice to Section 4 (2), sentence 3, the residence permit shall entitle
the holder to pursue an economic occupation insofar as the foreigner who is being
joined by his or her dependents by way of subsequent immigration is entitled to
pursue an economic activity or if marital cohabitation has lawfully existed in the
Federal territory for at least two years.

What law is it and what section.
Or give us just a link.

Hi DVD

The pdf file is in the following link - immigration act (316 kb):

Actually it belongs to the Section 29 and not Section 20 as I had previously said.

It is not the same as ArbBer. It says that spouse can work after 2 years but she has not the same Vorrang, so she can work but only if there are nobody from De or EU aplies.
Same thing you get now after 1 year.
So this law is worse than old one in that part.
Acording to: old or new law
one needs 1 or 2 years to work
and also 2 or 4 years to get job even if there are De or EU available for job.


Law name is AufenthG
§ 29 Familiennachzug zu Ausländern
