Re: Stuck between Auslaenderbehoerd and Arbeitsagentur

@Hardik,

Just ask AA where it is written that it is necessary to have a company independent visa to claim ALG. Dont be afraid and ask them to show the relevant section. ALG is just an insurance and is available for anyone who has paid into the system and cant be restricted on the basis of the company name in the visa.

In the mean time print out this particular section of the law

write a letter asking the ABH to remove the company name from your visa. Dont take no for an answer and if they refuse to take your written application ask them to give it in writing on which basis they are rejecting. If they said no, ask to speak with the boss. Be brave as you got nothing to lose. It would be a miracle if you can find a job in another 27 days.
