Hello all,

I have joined this forum recently, I have a question about converting my work visa(aufenthaltserlaubnis) to a blue card. About an year ago, I moved to Germany on a work visa. Back then I was not really aware of the BlueCard process. My salary at that point was 48K. I have a B.Sc in Chemistry and a PGDM (Post Graduate Diploma in Management) in IT Management from India. I work here in Germany as a Sofware QA Manager in an automobile firm. 

I would like to know if I can can convert my work visa to a Blue Card - If I am able to renegotiate my salary about 52K, recently I have been recieving a few job offers well above that range. 

I see that my PGDM is not recognized under Anabin database, but my university is in the list. Will my PGDM withold me from getting a Blue Card.

Thanks
Vicky

Hi Vicky,

As far i know, if a particular subject/program/institution isn't enlisted on Anabin database, still you have the option to apply along with your certificates. In that case they will evaluate it manually & you have to pay them a service charge for that. I dont remember that amount exactly. But i am pretty sure about that.

I would request you to dig it from Anabin & BAMF site. You will find what you want!

All the best bro..
