Time taken for work permit
Next week I have a final talk with a German company after a long set of interviews for the past two months. I have few questions regarding my work
1. In my passport its written that I am allowed to work in Germany but I have to intimate the visa office and fill a form. So how long will my work permit take to be processed? Should I start my work only after I get the work permit?I have visa till this december which is based on my husbands contract and my husbands contract may be extended for few more months. will my visa become independent after this? or will my husbands contract play a major role on my visa also. This is my first job in Germany thats why I have lot of things running in my head.
2.My salary- I have 3yrs exp in India and I did my MBA from a good business school though not the top. I will be joining as a trainee for 6 months then be promoted to a managerial position. The industry is automotive and I will work in their product development dep. Any guess on how to face this tricky qus salary expectation. Any guess on the average salary for a trainee.
Please give me some suggestions.

Mathew> Could you please tell me when did this happen? Did the spouse tried for an independent visa since she got a job offer?
Senamb> Answers to your questions 1,2,3 based on my opinion
1. I applied 2, 3 days before the rule for basic proficiency was put into effect. In my MBA I had a 60hrs course in German Language though it was not form Max Muller Bhavan. Anyway I was not checked on this anywhere so far.
2. I dont think so, if the rule would vary city 2 city.
But I feel personally since I live in a tiny city like Bad Nauheim it was easier for me to fix appointment and talk with the visa office freely. Moreover I meet the same person each time unlike other city based visa office.
3. Oh my God what is this new bomb you are throwing in? I thought the war is going to end.

Re: Time taken for work permit
Hi,
When she applied, she was in Germany for 2.5 years of which 1 year as house wife and later having an unlimited work contract. Neverthless she got BE after two years, that means she can work for any company without informing Ausländebehörde.
Regards,
MK.

Re: Time taken for work permit
I thank you all for your suggestions.
Here goes my story.
Arun: I followed your instruction submitted my papers in ausländerbehörde took the phone no of contact person in arbeitsamt frankfurt and was checking the progress frequently which was very very needed. First there was a telephonic permission then came the black & white stuff.
Raj: As you said now the status is dependent on my husband. Meaning even if I have work permission for 2 yrs my residence permit depends on my husband.
When I asked the concerned authority of ausländerbehörde she said, even if I get a permanent job in the same company my visa cannot be made independent for 5 yrs unless or untill we are separated,since my husband doesnt hold NE. Is it true that wife of NE holders can only get unlimited work permit after 2yrs of their stay?
Can dependent visas changed to arbeitserlaubnis? (can $30 which is family visa changed to $18 )

Re: Time taken for work permit
Hey ppl,
I have a job offer in germany and my wife will be moving with me on a dependent visa. Since I had an unlimited contract, the germany embassy at Delhi made it mandatory for my wife to produce an A1 certificate. Since it takes time for that, i got my contract converted to limited period for 2 years (will change to unlimited after that), so that my wife can move to germany with me.
I have a similar question, if my wife manages a job(she is an MBA) and gets her dependent visa converted to Work Permit, she is still dependent on my limited period visa? How to deal with that situation? Will a company offer her a job if i am legally on a limited contract?
Plz Help !
