Info regarding partners visa status
Answer
10/17/13 9:38 AM
Dear All,
I am a German citizen and my wife got visa for three years. She did B1 & intregation course. Her visa expires soon and we will go for extension.
Now my question: Can she apply for unlimited stay permit(niederlassungserlaubnis). If so, which law allows her to do so.

N.B: Some of my friends were saying that spouse should go through the normal procedure i.e. after five years of staying in Germany, he/she will get the unlimited stay permit (niederlassungserlaubnis).

Looking for experts & experienced people's opinions.
Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Fruhling

Your wife can apply for Niederlassungerlaubnis according to

"
§ 28 Familiennachzug zu Deutschen

(2) Dem Ausländer ist in der Regel eine Niederlassungserlaubnis zu
erteilen, wenn er drei Jahre im Besitz einer Aufenthaltserlaubnis ist,
die familiäre Lebensgemeinschaft mit dem Deutschen im Bundesgebiet
fortbesteht, kein Ausweisungsgrund vorliegt und er über ausreichende
Kenntnisse der deutschen Sprache verfügt. § 9 Absatz 2 Satz 2 bis 5 gilt
entsprechend. Im Übrigen wird die Aufenthaltserlaubnis verlängert,
solange die familiäre Lebensgemeinschaft fortbesteht.
"

Different Auslaenderbeoerde webiste also mention

"
Niederlassungserlaubnis für Familienangehörige von Deutschen -
Voraussetzungen -
seit drei Jahren im Besitz einer Aufenthaltserlaubnis als Familienangehörige(r) eines oder einer Deutschen

Spouses of German citizens can apply for Passport after 4 years of regular stay in Germany. If they have completed "Integration in Deutschland" course than this period for citzenship is reduced to 3 years. I will advice to extend her visa (AE or NE) and apply for citizenship afterwards.

Good luck and keep us posted.

P.S: this is not a legal advice!
