Unlimited Permit for High Skilled Migrants, §19 AufenthG: Observations
Hi Trust7 community,
As most of you know, in Germany it is possible for a foreigner to get an unlimited permit for high-skilled qualifications (Niederlassungserlaubnis für Hochqualifizierte, §19 AufenthG : http://www.aufenth.../aufenthaltsg.html#19 ). I am one of the few people who is driving this subject in Trust7 (proof: http://www.trust7....ual_salary_63000_euro ). I have made a lot research on this research, helped here and personal life a lot of people, which I want to share it with you.
Despite the Arbeitsmigrationssteuerungsgesetz (the law which reduced minimum salary requirement from 84K to 63K in 2009, the main topic of this thread), in whole Germany only 169 foreigners have received NE $19 AufenthG in 2009:

That means the law change did not "relax" the conditions. One of the main reasons was that there was a global crisis in 2008-2009 and a lot of foreigners have lost their job before they could get this permit. If you lose your job, you cannot apply for this permit.
The minimum salary is 66K for 2011:

It is much difficult to get this permit in the states other than Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg because most IT/engineering sector are located in these states, and high-skilled foreigners are mostly in these states, too. I am in Hamburg and it was for me very difficult to get this permit. I had to talk with 4 officials, 2 managers and full process took 2 months. Officials in such states are not familiar with high-skilled migrants and they need more time to "understand" to process.
I will summarize The advantages of this permit:
1. People having this permit is ranked in a high priority for Arbeitsmarktprüfung (work labour market check), for the case if he or she loses her job and is registered in Arbeitsamt:

2. If the person gets married with a non-EU citizen, then requirements that the spouse must be older than 18 years old and should speak German are not needed:
http://www.aufenth.../aufenthaltsg.html#30
For example, as a man, if I want to marry a woman, say, from Argentina, who is 17 and cannot speak German, then shen get a residence permit immediately to come to me, because of my unlimited permit for high-skilled migrants.
3. This permit does not need an approval from Arbeitsamt:

I wish everyone success and patience to get this permit.

Re: Unlimited Permit for High Skilled Migrants, §19 AufenthG: Observations
Hello all,
Can anyone who received §19 Niederlassungserlaubnis let me know the documents required while applying for this?
I am changing my job in a month and my new salary would be above the required limit of 66K Euros. I called up Ausländerbehörde to check this, but the lady there had experience only handling people under this category who are scientists etc. She was listing down many documents which aren't relevant in my case. These are some of the documents she listed (the others I can't remember)
1. Arbeitsbescheinigung
2. 3 Monate Gehaltsabrechnung
3. She also mentioned some document from "Ministerium"
Can anyone who has done this let me know the exact documents required?
Thanks in advance

As is often the case, there are different interpretations from different Ausländerbehörden. My observation at my office was that the documents that came directly from my company (which is a very large one in Germany), directly relating to my job position held a lot of weight. Other offices, it seems, are more concerned about educational details, for example. In my case, having the clear and direct backing of my company appears to have been very important. Your results may vary!
At the end of the day, there is probably no one package of documents that fit the bill in every location and for every person. Be aware that the applicants for the Niederlassungserlaubnis für Hochqualifizierte are few and far between. If you live somewhere small, you may be the first person applying for this permit. Be prepared for some misunderstandings about the purpose of the permit, and your suitability and qualification.
Good Luck!
