1. You find a new job
2. You go to your local immigration office and tell them that you found a new job
3. Local immigration office gets necessary documents from your would-be employer, sends them to local employment office, local employment office starts to check whether there are unemployed german or EU-citizens who could do that job
4. As in reality there are lots of unemployed natives, in IT as well, and because of new reform (Hartz IV - Alg II) they can not longer refuse ANY position, ANYWHERE in Germany or they lose the right to receive Alg II - local employment office finds potentional employees from the number of unemployed natives, your would-be employer employs one of them. After that local employment office stops to pay you an unemployement benefit because you have no chance to get any job in Germany and therefore are not available as a labour force.
5. Local immigration office learns about that and takes necessary steps in order to ensure that you leave Germany without making problems
Why this is going to happen (and please do not tell me that i am a pessimist, the point of view that i present below is not mine, but comes from Mr. Ostermann from ZAV IT-Sonderteam)
From 01.01.2005 there is a new regulation - BeschV. In that BeschV, among other things, following is written:
§ 46 Übergangsregelungen
...
(2) Die einer IT-Fachkraft nach § 6 Abs. 2 der Verordnung über die Arbeitsgenehmigung für hoch qualifizierte Fachkräfte der Informations- und Kommunikationstechnologie erteilte befristete Arbeitserlaubnis gilt als unbefristete Zustimmung zum Aufenthaltstitel zur Ausübung einer Beschäftigung fort.
This was added to ensure that GC-holders can get an NE after 5 years, in reality though works against the GC-holders who loose their job and find new one after 01.01.2005 but before they can apply for NE. Because §46 Abs. 2 BeschV by officials is understood in a way, that your job permit - which is limited to a duration of five years - from 01.01.2005 became an unlimited job permit, BUT ONLY FOR A JOB FOR WHICH IT WAS ORIGINALLY ISSUED, not for any job. If you find a new job - the officials are pretty sure that you need to get a new job permit - which is now actually an agreement of local employment office with a new residence permit, but the sense is the same. Then they have comments to BeschV, in which, in particular, following is written:
Die als Green Card bekannte Regelung wird als Zulassung zu qualifizierten Beschäftigungen im IT-Bereich fortgeführt. Die sonstigen Elemente der IT-ArGV werden überflüssig, weil das Zuwanderungsgesetz nicht mehr an die individuellen Fähigkeiten der Personen anknüpft, sondern an die vorgesehene qualifizierte oder hoch qualifizierte Beschäftigung, die auch der mindestens tarifgerechten Einstufung der vorgesehenen Vergütung der zu beschäftigenden Person zu entsprechen hat.
this is understood in a way, that a regulation which prohibited checks of labour market in case of GC-holders who are already in Germany, is no longer valid. Therefore in order to decide whether a GC-holder can get a new job, first a labour market needs to be checked, and if there are unemployed natives - IN THE WHOLE GERMANY, NOT ONLY IN YOUR CITY - who can do the job, GC gets no agreement of local employment office and therefore no job.
Solution
There are of course always many solutions available, but in order to find any of them the person has to to stop to rely on anybody - including Detlef - has to to understand that everybody in Germany pursuits only his own interests, must stop to listen to politians and officials and start to think by his own head. If you will do that, you will find a suitable solution yourself, if not - and i know what i am talking about, have lots of related experience - my advices will not help you, simply because you will not listen to them.
Good luck! |
