Confusion over the transition of GC to NE
Dear friends @ trust7,
I am Green-Card Holder valid until July 2006. I need few clarifications regarding the following issues, after having read few forums here. Please kindly take out sometime to clear this confusion.
1. If I had stayed and worked on an AE for over 3 years in Germany, can I still apply for the NE right now or should I wait until next year Sept-2006, when my AE actually expires? I had also read few write-ups on Immigration Law where it states that one is eligible for an NE only if he or she had held an AE for 5 years or paid 60-month RV and so on. Here, it says 5 years of stay whereas in few forums here, it states 3-years is enough...could anyone please explain, if I am mistaken somewhere in understanding this?
2. How long does the whole process of NE take? is it dependant on our local ABH or is there a fixed time for processing?
3. With an NE, can one work as a Freelancer like any other German National or do any other restrictions apply to foreigners?
Trusting that you would share your expert advices.
best regards,
Trustee

Hi green2000, nobody,
"My new extended work contract is linked ( will be active ) if I get the NE ( Egg-Checken delema ) !!"
No need to worry, you are probably covered on both sides. You will get a Fiktionbescheinigung until the NE is decided if it goes beyond the 13th of September, and yor work contract will not be invalid, even if there is a temporary condition invalidating it. That is, AFAIK, if your residence permit becomes void, that doesn't necesarily invalidate your new working contract, even if depends on having a valid residence permit, ... as long as it is likely that you will get a new residence title.

"just wait a couple of days, I got ma appointment on August 29th at 10 AM so around 12 AM, I should let you know how it happened but according to the HR of my company who called the guy handling my case at ABH, all should work smoothly and I already got all the papers ready, so it's just a matter of patience for the finish line."
So he is now probably there in ABH office getting NE or out of office waitting for NE or out of office with NE in hands.
