Yes, as soon as you got to company independent visa, your wife should also get work permit. Visit the foreign office to get it changed. Even for minijobs, you shuld have permission to work. So change the visa before starting with work.

Hello Ken

My wife got the visa with the permission to work, some days after joining me in Germany.
I am in your situtation, in terms of work permit.
So I think the people at your ABH or the Sachbearbeiterin is missing something.

Not meaning to insult or disrespect them but keep in mind that these people at the ABH are not the brightest people on earth, they are sometimes so stupid that in the same office, two colleagues can tell you about the same request, two very different stories. Try it again, read the law and explain it to them and in the worst case, try to talk to their superiors or get in touch with a lawyer.

Bolo

Thank you Bolo and Raj.

Finally we get positive reply from Behörde.I would like to share my communication with Behörde.

I have wrote an email to Responsible person in ausländerbehörde as below.

Sehr geehrter,


I would like confirm some information regarding my visa. As I have heard from friends and by online sources that I can get same visa as like my husband visa (Unbeschränktes Arbeitserlaubnis) because I am on dependent visa.



§ 29 Familiennachzug zu Ausländern

(5) Die Aufenthaltserlaubnis berechtigt zur Ausübung einer Erwerbstätigkeit,
1. soweit der Ausländer, zu dem der Familiennachzug stattfindet, zur Ausübung einer Erwerbstätigkeit berechtigt ist oder) http://www.aufenthaltstitel.de/aufenthaltsg.html#29

We have visited beginning of this year Euskirchen ausländerbehörde. And we asked them regarding unlimited work visa (no need to get approval from arbeitsamt) like my husband visa. They told us I can get that visa end of this year. We are really confused that are ausländerbehörde centralised or not?

We are not really aware about all laws but we are confused because some of our friends get work visa in one month if them husband have unlimited visa. If husband have Unbeschränktes Arbeitserlaubnis then wife also get same visa.

Now I would like to get information from you that am i eligible to get this visa (Unbeschränktes Arbeitserlaubnis) ? or what is eligibility criteria to get this visa ? As i am sitting at home from last 23 months.

Here are some sources

If you need any information from our side then i will be happy to provide you.

Thank you and Best regards,


Then reply from Auslanderbehorde

Sehr geehrte Eheleute,

nach Prüfung des Sachverhaltes kann Ihnen beiden die Auflage in "Beschäftigung erlaubt, selbständige Erwerbstätigkeit nicht erlaubt" geändert werden. Die Auflagenänderung kostet pro Person 30,- €, somit zuammen 60,- €.

Zwecks Änderung haben Sie persönlich bei meiner Ausländerbehörde vorzusprechen. Vorab ist telefonisch ein Termin mit mir zu vereinbaren. Vorsprachen ohne Termin sind nicht möglich. Bei der Vorsprache haben Sie Ihre Heimatpässe und die Gebühr i.H.v. 60,- € vorzulegen.

Hello,
I am working in Germany since 4 years, last month i got my company independent BE (§ 18 Abs. IV S.1) till Nov 2014. My wife pursuing her Master studies in German University (since Oct2008) ...She have (§ 30 Abs. II) dependent VISA....

Now I have combined question about my wifes work permit and Elterngeld...
My wife want to apply for ELTERNGELD, but Elterngeld authority rejected our application as on her VISA (Erwerstätigkeit nicht gestatet. Gilt nur zur Beleitung des Ehemannes) is written...
they mentioned us that if we get "Erwerstätigkeit gestatet" (work permit)...on her VISA then we can get Elterngeld

So based on her MS studies for 3 years in Germany, how and where we need to request for getting work Permit... in Rathous or ausländerbehörde or Arbeitsamt.....

On what ground (which law) i can ask them to give workpermit to my wife or to give same VISA as that of mine...

I would be really greatful if someone can give me procedure..

Hello,
As for a change of the status at the ABH. make sure you are not in the probation time during the process. The process might be long, depending on where you got married. if she is recognized as your wife, she will be get issued a dependent visa with the right to work.
