Spouse Work Permit

Hallo Ppl,

It will soon be one year since my wife converted her visa as a dependent to a GC. I know that there will be new rules etc.. however, I do know that with the old GC rule, the dependent can get work permit after one year provided there is no european to fill the job.

Now my wife has been offered jobs from two different companies. Is it possible to go to the Arbeitsamt with the two contracts and they will make a check for both of these positions? The contracts are of six month duration?

Any suggestions will be very much appreciated.

Thanks

Sun

Hi Sun

Please, say your wife don´t loose her time. Mobilink is right.

If she is already a GC, the work check is already made. She DOESN´T need to ask in the Arbeitsamt. This is clearly stipulated in the GC regulation (I have an English broschure - If you want to send you this, please post your mail).

So, first she have to study both proposal, second decide by one of those and once she have a work contract with the new firma, she has to go to the Arbeitsamt to change the name of the firma in the Arbeitserlaubnis.

So, congratulations, you choose, not the Arbeitsamt

Two years after she gets the aufenthaltserlaubnis she is entitled to get arbeitsberechtigung. This is an unlimited and unconditional work permit.
Funny thing is that GCs can obtain the same thing if both have independent aufenthalserlaubnis, thus no long having greencard status, but allowed to work at no conditions or time limit.
