Hi guys! I'm Mexican living in Berlin since 7 years ago, now I'm German too. So, since I had a Studienvorbereitung visum (Study Preparation Visa) I married in Germany and I didn't have to go back to Mexico to change it, I just went to the Auslanderbehörder and they changed it. So, I had twice the Fiktionsbescheinigung because I told them I had a flight, and they give you a specific time, visa and sometimes if they're nice I think they give you a maximum of 3 months that you're allowed to travel with it, but I've got it months before I had a planned flight, I just had to tell them I had a flight to (on that time) to UK and Ukraine, because, without it, sometimes you can't go out from Germany, not even travel into a country in the European Union. Anyway, back to my experience dealing with the German bureaucracy... This is in Berlin, (fortunately, I was always lucky, and some spots are available on Tuesdays at 7 AM and I didn't have to deal with it) so I don't know how it is somewhere else, but if you don't have an appointment, a lot of people had to make a line at 5 AM, to get an appointment around 9 AM or something. Also, after COVID getting appointments is getting more difficult, so I was just sending an email and they sent an automatic email saying I'm allowed to be in Germany and that I had to wait for my appointment date email in the next 2 weeks and I've got my appointment email (that was on May) but the appointment date was 3 months later (on August) so I didn't book any flight during these 3 months. Again, I know people who haven't received any appointment in 2 years, even sending an email... Furthermore, probably you know, but if you don't, Joss can apply for German citizenship after 3 years of living in Germany and 2 years married, you can ask if your study time also counts for it, because in this case, Joss can get it in only 2 years, so you maintain your main residence during 2 years in Germany, and that's it, you can move and live wherever you want in Europe. But you can't change your residence outside Germany for more than 6 months during these 2 years, otherwise, Joss is losing her visa. Me, I lived with my husband for 5 months in Mexico, just not to lose my German residence. So, if you need any more info, you can contact me, I can talk to you from my experience, also my husband is a German lawyer, so I already told him hahaha he should be specialized and be a Fachanwalt für Migrationsrecht because his wife is his own case study. 😂 Congratulations on your wedding, Joss moving to Germany, and your new baby video project! I have been following you guys since Joss posted a video of you two dancing in a group mentioning she was going to live in Munich and I have seen your growth process!
I am Mexican and I waited 8 month for my change of residence in the Netherlands since my partner is Dutch and still they denied it :( it’s unbelievable how much time it can take, the IND doesn’t understand we are humans and we just want to live together. If someone got a partner residence permit in the Netherlands I would love to hear your story.
Yo soy colombiana casada con mexicano, me vine a vivir a México y me dieron una residencia temporal por 1 año, se me vencía el 25 de mayo así que fui a principios de mes a INM a renovarla (hice fila como por 3 hrs) y no tuve suerte! Resulta que ya no dan citas sino que debes presentarte muy temprano y agarrar turno y ese mismo día te dan todo. Así que otro día pedí otro permiso en mi trabajo y salí de casa a las 5:30 am para hacer fila. Habían alrededor de 35 personas delante de mí, finalmiente cuando abrieron a las 9 am fueron llamando uno por uno de la lista y cuando entré me dijeron "ya no hay citas ni para hoy ni para mañana" me dieron cita para el lunes 22 (contradiciendose porque habían dicho que ya no funcionaban por citas sino por orden de llegada🙄) . Así que pedí OTRO permiso en mi trabajo para ir el lunes 22 (y mi residencia vencía el miércoles siguiente) literal la tercera es la vencida, ese día finalmente pudieron atenderme y renovarla por 1 año mas, aparentemente el otro año me dan la permanente..
We went through this too. Good luck! Smaller towns tend to go a bit faster than the big cities. We actually had no problem at all, but we are out in the sticks. The first Aufenthalt is usually for a year (costs €100), second one is two years, same price. If you want to take up citizenship...well I'm not sure if the process us the same or if it differs depending on where you come from, but I know we can kick it off 6 months before the end of the second Aufenthalt and I have to give up my original citizenship, go wirite a B1 language exam and do the Einbürgerungs test before applying. I expect there will be more paperwork than what we are currently aware of...there always is 😉
En el 2020 me casé con mi esposo en Alemania sin tener ninguna visa pedí una cita para tramitar la residencia ya estando Alemania una semana después de la boda, en la cita aclaramos la situación del por qué no había sacado una visa desde México (por la pandemia) y a la semana me llamaron para darme una cita más y procesar mi residencia. Todo esto lo hice en Kassel, Hessen. Me trataron muy y fue todo muy rápido, pero en el Bürgerburo al momento de registrarme en la ciudad me trataron horrible, salí llorando de ahí.
I feel your frustration. I was supposed to move to Mexico (from the US) a few days ago. My residency is going to expire in Mexico. My country STILL hasn't returned my passport to me (had to renew it). As you've experienced, these agencies think you can just chill out in whatever country and that you have no other plans/obligations in life. Good luck!
I live in Germany and also had to struggle booking a resident permit appointment. You have to wake a very early and check the appointment system (refresh the page every 30 seconds). People either cancel their appointments on the same day or the Amt opens more slots. Good luck with the process!
Bureaucracy knows no bounds, no limits, no borders; either the process is so laid back that it takes forever, or so complex that it takes forever, or requires so many papers & signatures that it takes forever, or is being carried out by people who really don't care any more so it takes forever. I've lived on 3 continents and traveled in a 4th, and the same rules hold true everywhere. Hang in there!
I really like that you talk about that topic because with my boyfriend we are in a similar situation. It helps to hear how you go through this process.
My husband (from the US) came to Germany on a tourist visa and had to go to the Ausländerbehörde here as well and apply for the Aufenthaltstitel. It was a lot of paperwork but not as much as it was for us to get married here… That was even worse! We had to get all his documents translated by an official translator which cost us a bunch of money and well, it eventually worked out 🎉. He got a Fiktionsbescheinigung as well so he was able to apply for a job here. After he had that it went relatively fast. He got to Germany in June and was able to start working (=got his Aufenthaltstitel) in October. Fingers crossed and thumbs pressed for you guys! 🤞🤞
I can totally understand you guys! My husband and I had to go trough the same process and it was awful!! He even had to buy another tiket because the visa arrived 6 weeks later than expected. I was already in Germany and I didn´t have a clue what to do. And when he arrived, the residency permit took 9 months to arrive! Finally, he got his permit for three years. Luckily, the workers at the Rathaus were very nice (truth is, we live in a very small town) and were always ready to helo us and to give us support. BTW, the videos of the wedding were beautiful!! I cried all the time!!
Mi proceso fue igual de burocrático que el tuyo Joss, mucho ánimo y paciencia, el año 2021 llegué con una visa de reunificación familiar y se venció mientras esperaba la cita, me dieron una prorroga, un gran papel verde jajajaja todo esto mientras se acercaba cada día mi fecha de parto, finalmente en octubre pude ir, mi visa de reunificación se venció en agosto 2021 y en noviembre del mismo año pude tener mi primera Aufenthaltstitel, pero solo válida por 3 años y eso que soy mamá de una pequeña alemana, en fin jajaj el próximo año debo volver a hacer lo mismo, pero ya voy a pedir la residencia permanente, aunque tome más tiempo el proceso, afirmen el bolsillo, todo el proceso cuesta un mínimo de 150 euros, lamentable pensando que hay personas que llegan aquí en peores condiciones. Muchos abrazos
usually if you send an email to your specific Referat in the Ausländerbehörde stating your situation (that there was no appointment available, that your visa expires at a certain time, and so on), this email is valid as an extension of your visa or residence permit until they give you an appointment. this is stated in the automatic reply they send when they receive your email. about the online booking appointment: there are specific times where new dates are put available, normally between 15-16:00 when the shift is over or at midnight. It is indeed pretty tricky... I saw that in other countries like Denmark the processing is much faster, maybe for you guys it would've been better in the end. anyways, best of luck!
What i love the most from this video it's the part were Janic sing "se logro" because we can see that he got a good relationship with his parents in law. ❤❤
Applying for the permanent residence in the US was very easy, I did it myself because my situation was not complicated. It took 12 months to get a work visa while I waited for the permanent residence which took another six months. The caveat was that I wasn't allowed to leave the county until getting the residence. Other than that, the SS office and the Homeland Security office were easy and quick appointments, it took less than a half hour to go in and out. I understand it took a long time because there are millions of people applying for the same every day, but it was withing the timeframe they promised, so I was happy with that.
Nosotros nos mudamos a Munich hace 9 meses, con la ayuda de los abogados asignados por el trabajo de mi esposo y todo! Y apenas la semana pasada nos dieron la Blue card a mi esposo y a mi el permiso de residencia. Nuestras visas se vencieron en enero y ahi nos dieron un Fiktionsbescheinigung pero tambien se vencio como en un mes y algo. Pasaron mas de las 8 semanas que supuestamente demoraban despues del registro, y nada! Toco insisitirle a los abogados y nos dijeron para ir a buscarlas justo un dia antes de un viaje que teniamos! Recomendaciones: 1. entren a las 7am o algo asi temprano en la manana a ver las citas a esas horas las ponen y ponen para el mismo dia! Nosotros las conseguiamos asi! 2. Y esto es super importante que lo averiguen. A un familiar a de un companero de trabajo de mi esposo lo deportaron porque estaba viajando por europa con su visa vencida pero con un Fiktionsbescheinigung. Ese documento no es aceptado por algunos paises y no es como valido como para viajar asi. Obvio depende de la persona que te lo pida y todo eso, pero aja, es importante que lo tengan en cuenta! Suerte y pasenla rico en Paris!! :D
I understand you guys! Cause I'm in the process too! But before the wedding! My visa is for fiancee and we have waited my interview 1 year 8 months ago! The date is June 9th🎉 almost there!!! So I know the stress you went through 😅😢 toda esa incertidumbre en días de boda es una locura😂❤ But anyway the important fact is you are living together at the end!
I went through a similar process except that we decided to marry "por el civil" in Germany so everything was super easy afterwards for the residence permit, we will celebrate the big party in Mexico next year but at least doing all the paperwork here made it easier, also we live in Munich so maybe the offices just work in a different way because we were able to make an appointment online with no problem 🤷🏻♀️ I hope you can solve that issue, good luck ✨
Yeah, I had to renew my residence permit last year and everytime I tried to make an appointment, they'd say they would contact me. Then when the expiration date kept getting closer, they said on the phone that they're really busy and it's fine if it expires. I asked multiple times for them to email those words to me so that I could have it in writing, but they never did. I also wanted to know if this 90 day Schengen visa would start after my old residence permit expires, and they never gave me a clear answer on that. Eventually I did get an appointment about a month or 2 after my permit expired.
Hola! Creo que las embajadas y la burocracia es la peor combinación; yo soy de México y llevo una relación de 4 años con mi pareja Sueca; en enero del año 2022 hicimos una solicitud para una Visa Sambo y estuvimos esperando 17 meses para una respuesta o señal de vida por parte de la embajada, hace una semana nos enviaron un mensaje solicitando más documentos, se los enviamos y en unos cuantos días nos dieron la respuesta de que mi solicitud fue rechazada, lo peor de todo es que ni siquiera nos dieron un motivo... Ahora estamos intentando objetar su respuesta e investigar cuál fue el motivo del rechazo, pero incluso para saber ésto, se necesita papeleo y solo tenemos tres semanas para hacer el proceso nuevamente sino tendremos que iniciar de cero 😣.
Keep checking for the appointment tho...just from time to time when you think of it, and you might get lucky sometimes. In France they release new time slots like on Monday night (can't remember exactly)... The extension paper usually won't last long so definitely don't let the "normal" process go. Gook luck!
Yo a ustedes los siento como unos primos queridos. Entiendo que ustedes y yo no nos conocemos pero AMO ver como las piezas de su vida se va acoplando y sus sueños se van cumpliedo. You guys are a great inspiration for those of us who have a long distance German boyfriend as well. Ich wünsche Ihnen viel Erfolg in Ihrem Eheleben! Ich umarme euch beide!
I think you were lucky because that may take longer. My visa process took 6 months because of the pandemic. We had to ask a famous politician to help us and this politician called the Ausländerbehörde and then they moved their ass in my case. I arrived in Germany in January 2021 and in February I got a Fiktionsbescheinigung, this one doesn’t let me leave Germany, otherwise I would need to start the process again in my country. I felt so frustrated because I wanted to travel to Switzerland or France but I couldn’t, the Ausländerbehörde was very clear saying that once I get my residence permit, I’ll be able to travel abroad, meanwhile I had to stay in Germany because the Reunification visa is for Germany, and not Schengen or tourist visa. As mentioned above, I arrived in January, and finally after sending many emails, the last email worked out well because my German husband wrote something emotional saying that I had to travel to my home country to see my mom who was ill, that was true. And finally we got an appointment for June. We took all the documents they asked for the appointment and after 4-5 weeks I got another appointment to pick up my residence permit, I felt so happy! Last year I had to renew it since the first residence permit I got was valid for 18 months, the second one I got is valid until next year August because my passport expires in that date. So check your passport validity when you want to renew your residence permit. A tip: try to get the Leben in Deutschland certificate in advance when you want to renew your residence permit. Somehow I feel everytime my husband writes to the Ausländerbehörde, they reply the next day, the same with the German embassy in my country. We applied so many times for visas, such as bringin my 10yo niece to visit us and we became “experts” with this bureaucracy issue that sometimes we do kinda “Beratung” for bicultural couples, especially Bolivian-German ones because I’m Bolivian. We love to watch your videos guys, we did cry and laugh with every moment you shared about your relationship in your videos. I wish you all the best, and Geduld. ❤
I moved 5 years ago to Germany with my husband, who is a Spanish citizen. In principle, because German law does not apply, but EU law, I could apply for residency directly in Germany. The advantage is that we live in a small town, but it took me almost a year to get my residence permit .... and with the Fiktionsbescheinigung no employer would hire me. So, well, I reached B2 level of German at home during that time. After the pandemic, the delays at the Auslanderbehörde have increased horribly, I am afraid, because my residence expires next year. The truth is that one of the things that has surprised me is how complicated the process is in cases like these where the law literally does not allow families to separate, but somehow they manage to drag out the process, which in the end means less taxes for them.
Yes! Go ahead with video :) (So, sorry to hear about all up coming delays with all this process BUT the bright side is that now your are together and surely you will overcome ❤ Keep calm, stay in love! :) )
Lo siento mucho Jocelyn! Los trámites migratorios son complicados en todos los países y más en Europa. Por ello debes tener paciencia, pero atenta a lo que te digan...
I’m a Mexican born, USA citizen and my husband an Albanian born Greek citizen. He was living in London for several years and I decided to move there once I graduated from the university. We got married civilly in the US when he came to visit and after 6 month I went to the UK with no visa. The week that I got there we went to a solicitor and he sent our application for my UK residency. After a week I had to go to the post office to do my biometric and after another couple week I had 1 meeting and another week passed and I got my 5 year UK residence. We eventually moved to the US and that process was more complex and very expensive took about 1 year but because by then we had been married for over 2 year he got a 10 year residency in the US.
It was so crazy for me but here where I live the were actually after me always making sure I had the things ready before the 3 months expired, but maybe is a but different cause my husband is from Spain. But if you guys are going to live in France for more than 3 months you have to get a residency at France not Germany, that happens everywhere in Europe, but important note is that you can go wherever your husband goes 😊 you really have to check into that 🤔
Que horror, hasta me encorajine! Tipico de la burocracia alemana. Yo estuve viviendo de Fiktionsbescheinigung hasta que por fin me dieron mi Blau-Karte. Mi proceso no fue por reunificacion familiar. Es lo malo de vivir en ciudades grandes, que las citas son super tardadas y es mucha la demanda de procesos que tienen. Aun asi les deseo lo mejor y no se si tengan experiencias con las Fiktions pero en dado caso que se las entreguen, verifiquen si se puede salir del pais con la Fiktions, por en mi caso yo no tenia permitido dejar el pais hasta aclarar mi proceso y una amiga en Berlin si pudo salir del pais con la Fiktion. 😊
Jesus they made it so hard! We had a long distance relationship but luckily we both European so I didn't know how difficult that was for you😱 Wish you the best! It is a pain but will be worth it ❤
Es interesante que puedas aplicar a la residencia Permanente. Me imaginó que es porque conoces a Janik 10 años y tienen una relación de pareja de más años. Yo soy colombiana y cuando llegué a Alemania con mi visa de reunificación familiar, presenté mis papeles y solamente me dieron residencia por un año y debo renovarla. Cada estado federal y ciudad es diferente, porque hay más gente que aplica, espero puedas hacer todo sin ningún percance.
I am Argentinian married with a swiss in March 2021. I didn't use the reunification visa, neither the marriage visa, we knew we wanted to get married but we needed to fix some ideas before ,like where to do all that?. I was going to "try" how I feel after living together in Switzerland for 3 months, that was the first idea, then decide where to marry and where to live, it was COVID times so all was even harder to get into the country, I had to ask for an special permission to get into the country through the Swiss Embassy, they asked me to demonstrate our relation with photos, messages, travels we did before and proof that at least we met once. The most bizarre letter we did. After 2 months I arrived in Switzerland (April/may) we decided to start with the wedding preparation for October that year, we thought it was enough time, and if we could have an extension of my visa till that moment. A civil wedding in Switzerland and religious one in Argentina was the plan. Knowing that I had all the papers we could need, buuuuut in the administration they told us we needed to get married before my visa expired, was not possible an extension, or the other way was to leave the country for 3 months and present new papers again with a new apostille and apply for the marriage visa in Argentina. Means TO DO EVERYTHING AGAIN but even harder. That was not an option. So we married in June that year... yes we had to marry in 4 weeks. Somehow was destiny, we had a dreamy place to do it, was amazing and somehow we resolve it. We got married in Argentina, Patagonia in January this year in the church, also amazing. Now, I have my visa B, every year I need to renew it personally pay Fr.120 and after 5 years, of living in the same place they say I can apply for a C demonstrating a level of German, and a good integration in the swiss society. In conclusion...every country has the same problems.😅
I work in the immigration field here in France and I can say that the system is awful here too. Residency applications take way too long but I am sure (and I hope for you) that Germany is more efficient! Heads up guys 😊
Con ese Bescheinigung puedes estar en Alemania pero no puedes salir, ni a otras partes de la UE, si sales y te cachan tienes aue empezar todo desde el principio (visa de reunificacion desde Mexico) yo tambien pensaba que seria rapido pero absolutamente no, yo vivo en Essen pero segun experiencias de amigos el Ausländernbehörde de Dortmund es muy rapido pero tienes que tener tu residencia oficial ahi
Cosas de inmigrantes 😢 pero no me canso de sentir tanta alegría y cierta envidia de ustedes 😂😂 Esposo bello y esposa bella. Me imagino como saldrán esos bebés 🤣🤣 Josy dile a Janick que el también debe hablar español, no siempre inglés x favorrrrrrr ❤ mucho amor para ustedes.
Yup. I could make a similar video to yours for getting into the UK with a partner visa. It's extremely annoying and emotionally exhausting. I have to renew it this year, wish me luck!
Recuerdo mi vez en la embajada alemana en CDMX (para mi visa de reunificación familiar) cuando me “entrevistaron” GAD no me preguntaron mil cosas, si mal no recuerdo fueron solo 4 preguntas🥹 pero buenooooo no deja de ser tanto papeleo y vueltas !! Y aquí estamos en Alemania viviendo desde hace casi 5 años 👨👩👧🇩🇪🇲🇽
France is extremely bureaucratic too 😢 I came to study and then i stayed to work to be close to my french boyfriend and I have been going to the prefecture every year to renew my visa. It is extremely stressful 😔
Red tape is the most horrible thing. At least you were given your visa :). I don't think anywhere in the world just for marrying a foreigner you magically have the right to be in their country. I get so pissed off when someone tells me so 😂. My husband is american and we just decided to give up in the process it's currently taking about 1.5 years if not 2 to get the appointment and the whole process is expensive. So look up to you guys for not giving up. 😊 I'm pretty sure you'll get your residency pretty soon :D. Enjoy your stay in Paris ^^ I'm so happy to know that you're also making videos and sharing your experiences with us. Send you a hug from Mexico. Love you ! Thanks for sharing your happiness and frustration with us 🥰
Sending good vibes for the next time Joss apply ❤ Some friends went through similar procedures in France. In the end they tried twice or three times and succeded but it's annnoying....
Pasé por lo mismo en Düsseldorf, nunca hay citas y nadie responde ni correos ni llamadas. Cuando debía renovar mi primera visa el de la extranjería dijo que aún quedaba tiempo para renovarla y cuando volví tiempo después me dijeron que fue incorrecta la información que me dieron y tuve que dejar Alemania a pocos días y entregar un papel en control del aeropuerto para que no me castigaran. El problema es que una vez que vence la visa o el Fiktionsbescheinigung ya no puedes salir de Alemania porque pueden prohibirte la entrada y tener que sacar de nuevo la visa desde México. Al menos eso me dijeron y solo puedes en casos de suma emergencia. El año pasado me visitaban mis papás y fuimos en auto hacia Eslovenia y por poco no puedo entrar de nuevo, fué muy estresante. Ya por fin recibí el pasaporte después de 3 años y estoy feliz de no tener que ir de nuevo al Auslanderbehörde. 😌
I moved to Hamburg seven and half years ago, but in my case the process was simple since I am a EU citizen (I am from Spain). The long process will be next year since it will be 8 years since my move and therefore can start the process to get the double citizenship (German and Spanish).
Omg I’ve honestly never felt so related to a video more than this one. I waited 8 hrs in the Ausländerbehörde to get my second Fiktionsbescheinigung. It was horrible and the worst part was that I wasn’t allowed to continue with my FSJ if I didn’t get the Fiktionsbescheinigung 🤡
I don´t know about Hamburg, but in Nürnberg, for example, they do NOT have any open hours at anytime! Ever!!! They don´t reply to you either, EVER!!! BUT... they aknowledge that they´re not answering, so at least they´ll send you the Fiktionsbescheinigung on a pretty considerable time before your visa expires, so that you can work...Cuz, for the ones that don´t know this, If you don´t have this document you can get fired right away, since your company can get a penalty fee from the state that runs into the thousands of euros! .... SO here´s the way to pressure them! You tell your Arbeitgeber, to send them A FAX or a BRIEF mit Einschreibung telling them that they need your Fiktionsbescheinigung urgently, and then somehow, the Amt starts to move.... Only people living in Germany would know the STRUGGLE! T_T GOOD LUCK!!!
I just got my spousal visa in Colombia a couple of weeks ago. The application process is a bit painful, but not nearly as bad as it will be when my wife and I want to go to the US, where i'm from. Once everything was turned in, which we did online, the colombian governement was very quick with their side, and we were able to get appointments with immigration whenever we wanted. The biggest problem for me was that clearly, the people working in the cancilleria were the unhappiest people on earth, and they acted like that was our fault. Still though, i am really not looking forward to the day that we apply for my wife to go to the US. Maybe we just won't 🤷🏼♂️
Hi I am British and my wife is German, I had been living in 20yrs Germany when we decided to get married, It took us 11months to get all the paper work we needed ""just to get married", That is Germanys Bureaucracy. But I wish you lots of luck and when you have all the paper work you can have a good laugh about it.
Yo me case con un Suizo pero allá, y tuve que hacer todo desde CDMX en la embajada Suiza y me tardaron como 3 meses para darme la visa por 90 días, y el tuvo que hacer también algunos trámites en Suiza, y cuando me avisaron que ya estaba aprobada mi visa, mande mi pasaporte y al día siguiente me la enviaron y ya pudimos comprar el boleto....y una vez allá con todo arreglado, nos pudimos casar sin ningún problema
The process takes forever 😂. I have been living in Germany for almost 4 years. I had the work visa and was enrolled into a learn german class. I have my B1 certificate (working on B2). We got married in Germany. I remember when we applied for the “ok” to get married 😂. Waiting for it was so stressful 😭. But after a few days it was ok. That stress was just piling up but I think if you get married in Germany it’s “easier”.
Herzlichen Glückwunsch zu eurer Hochzeit ihr zwei🫶🏼 Ich folge eich seit 2020 und freue mich wirklich sehr für euch!!! Ich habe noch eine Frage aus einem Interesse, vielleicht könnt ihr die irgendwann mal beantworten: wie kompliziert war es denn die in Mexiko geschlossene Ehe in Deutschland geltend zu machen?
I moved to Belgium (I’m Mexican) and I’m also here because of my boyfriend. I had to make line twice from 6am to pass by 11 am 😭 I got the papers but it was a horrible experience (it was on winter)
Espero que no tengan más problemas con esos trámites. Se que puede ser un dolor de cabeza. Si quisiera ver el video de como planear una boda en la Riviera Maya. También, tengo una pregunta, con la visa de turista se puede casar uno? Mi novio es de Rusia y pensamos casarnos allá en esa área entonces si me interesa saber si esa es la visa qué necesita o si se requiere otra para casarse con una mexicana
As a Mexiacn I dream of being German. Everyone always thinks of that time in history when you tell them you want Germany. I want to be Bach, Leibniz, Nietzshe, Wilhelm. Beautiful and historic country!!!!
Год назад
Thank you sooooo much for this video! In autumn my fiance and i want to marry and then live together in Germany too. He is Mexican, I'm German and thus will be suuuuper helpful for us! I hope the Ausländerbehörde in my city is less overworked 🙈🙈🙈 I wish you all the luck you can get with the bureaucracy here. I know it's hard 😅
Ugh, that is so annoying! At least the video ended happily with your reaction to our well wishes. I wish you guys well with getting that paper when that time comes. Since you guys started establishing a home base in Germany now, will you start a Na Toll office there too after your time in Paris?
Mi novio es Venezolano y para su residencia permanente aquí en México mejor pagó un abogado y todos los años no ha tenido problemas, ya que el abogado conoce a los de migración y ya tienen sus tratos ahí supongo :) todo muy práctico
OK, jetzt verstehe ich das Problem mit dem ablaufenden Visum. Bei Behörden hilft immer nur nachfragen, nachfragen, nachfragen! Irgendwann bist du dann so lästig, daß sie dich loswerden wollen und dein Anliegen endlich bearbeiten. Aber Hamburg ist offenbar ein extrem schlimmer Ort was Bürokratie betrifft. Ich hoffe euer Anliegen ist jetzt endlich durch und damit das Behördendrama beendet, Alles Gute und bleibt glücklich zusammen!!!
Im mexican too living in Germany. Im married to a german and we have 2 little girls (with german nationality). I got the C1 Level on German and will be starting an Ausbildung in September and they still ask me to attend the "Integrationkurs" BUT apparently you can study for this exam and present it without attending the course. My husband was the one who mentioned this Alternative otherwise they would have never mentioned it before. I wish you guys much luck and Patience the same that I wish for myself. But I am positive we will make it Joss!! Mexicana de San Miguel de Allende aqui!
@@sthepanievargas4473 Estudié por mi cuenta (porque cuando llegué a Alemania no pude asistir a la escuela) me apoyé mucho de maestros alemanes de RUclips. Investigué que temas le correspondían a cada nivel y de ahí entre RUclips y ejercicios en Internet. Para aprenderme palabras tan complicadas cree mis listas de Vocabularios en las que grababa mi voz diciendo la palabra en aleman con su significado en español 😅 como que me volví autodidacta pero hay grandes maestros que explican los temas muy bien en RUclips y gratis. Después de 4 años y dos embarazos, recibí el Certificado del C1 en diciembre. Para ese examen si contrate a una maestra alemana que fue mi tutora y me preparo para el examen. Sin bebes todo este proceso de aprendizaje seguro que es más rápido. Si quieres mas recomendaciones y a que maestros youtubers recomiendo avisame.
Exactamente, hacer el examen en vez de los cursos de integración es lo más fácil. Ya que, por la alta demandada (por los refugiados) en los cursos hay listas de espera de hasta 2 años 😅. Yo también opté por esa opción junto con presentar mi certificación, pero yo me estoy preparando para el B1 😢😂
Alemania y su linda burocracia 🫠 😅 si se piensan quedar más de seis meses en Francia tengan en cuenta que Joss debe estar en Alemania seis meses más un día para que no tenga problemas con su visa cuando la tenga que renovar, o si tiene residencia permanente igual
Just seeing the thumbnail and the title I already knew this was going to be about 💖 German Bureaucracy 💖 There is really nothing you can do but laugh about it 🤦♀️😅 I once read that Germany was voted the worst country to migrate to when it comes to bureaucracy...
![I.N "HALLUCINATION" | [Stray Kids : SKZ-PLAYER]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/n5B5q1Hwt_U/mqdefault.jpg)
Hi guys! I'm Mexican living in Berlin since 7 years ago, now I'm German too. So, since I had a Studienvorbereitung visum (Study Preparation Visa) I married in Germany and I didn't have to go back to Mexico to change it, I just went to the Auslanderbehörder and they changed it.
So, I had twice the Fiktionsbescheinigung because I told them I had a flight, and they give you a specific time, visa and sometimes if they're nice I think they give you a maximum of 3 months that you're allowed to travel with it, but I've got it months before I had a planned flight, I just had to tell them I had a flight to (on that time) to UK and Ukraine, because, without it, sometimes you can't go out from Germany, not even travel into a country in the European Union.
Anyway, back to my experience dealing with the German bureaucracy... This is in Berlin, (fortunately, I was always lucky, and some spots are available on Tuesdays at 7 AM and I didn't have to deal with it) so I don't know how it is somewhere else, but if you don't have an appointment, a lot of people had to make a line at 5 AM, to get an appointment around 9 AM or something.
Also, after COVID getting appointments is getting more difficult, so I was just sending an email and they sent an automatic email saying I'm allowed to be in Germany and that I had to wait for my appointment date email in the next 2 weeks and I've got my appointment email (that was on May) but the appointment date was 3 months later (on August) so I didn't book any flight during these 3 months. Again, I know people who haven't received any appointment in 2 years, even sending an email...
Furthermore, probably you know, but if you don't, Joss can apply for German citizenship after 3 years of living in Germany and 2 years married, you can ask if your study time also counts for it, because in this case, Joss can get it in only 2 years, so you maintain your main residence during 2 years in Germany, and that's it, you can move and live wherever you want in Europe. But you can't change your residence outside Germany for more than 6 months during these 2 years, otherwise, Joss is losing her visa. Me, I lived with my husband for 5 months in Mexico, just not to lose my German residence.
So, if you need any more info, you can contact me, I can talk to you from my experience, also my husband is a German lawyer, so I already told him hahaha he should be specialized and be a Fachanwalt für Migrationsrecht because his wife is his own case study. 😂
Congratulations on your wedding, Joss moving to Germany, and your new baby video project! I have been following you guys since Joss posted a video of you two dancing in a group mentioning she was going to live in Munich and I have seen your growth process!
Btw hahaha my husband and I, also have been talking about someday moving to Portugal or/and Spain... Haha
I am Mexican and I waited 8 month for my change of residence in the Netherlands since my partner is Dutch and still they denied it :( it’s unbelievable how much time it can take, the IND doesn’t understand we are humans and we just want to live together. If someone got a partner residence permit in the Netherlands I would love to hear your story.
Yo soy colombiana casada con mexicano, me vine a vivir a México y me dieron una residencia temporal por 1 año, se me vencía el 25 de mayo así que fui a principios de mes a INM a renovarla (hice fila como por 3 hrs) y no tuve suerte! Resulta que ya no dan citas sino que debes presentarte muy temprano y agarrar turno y ese mismo día te dan todo. Así que otro día pedí otro permiso en mi trabajo y salí de casa a las 5:30 am para hacer fila. Habían alrededor de 35 personas delante de mí, finalmiente cuando abrieron a las 9 am fueron llamando uno por uno de la lista y cuando entré me dijeron "ya no hay citas ni para hoy ni para mañana" me dieron cita para el lunes 22 (contradiciendose porque habían dicho que ya no funcionaban por citas sino por orden de llegada🙄) . Así que pedí OTRO permiso en mi trabajo para ir el lunes 22 (y mi residencia vencía el miércoles siguiente) literal la tercera es la vencida, ese día finalmente pudieron atenderme y renovarla por 1 año mas, aparentemente el otro año me dan la permanente..
Una disculpa por la horrible burocracia de mi país. 😢
We went through this too. Good luck! Smaller towns tend to go a bit faster than the big cities. We actually had no problem at all, but we are out in the sticks. The first Aufenthalt is usually for a year (costs €100), second one is two years, same price. If you want to take up citizenship...well I'm not sure if the process us the same or if it differs depending on where you come from, but I know we can kick it off 6 months before the end of the second Aufenthalt and I have to give up my original citizenship, go wirite a B1 language exam and do the Einbürgerungs test before applying. I expect there will be more paperwork than what we are currently aware of...there always is 😉
En el 2020 me casé con mi esposo en Alemania sin tener ninguna visa pedí una cita para tramitar la residencia ya estando Alemania una semana después de la boda, en la cita aclaramos la situación del por qué no había sacado una visa desde México (por la pandemia) y a la semana me llamaron para darme una cita más y procesar mi residencia. Todo esto lo hice en Kassel, Hessen.
Me trataron muy y fue todo muy rápido, pero en el Bürgerburo al momento de registrarme en la ciudad me trataron horrible, salí llorando de ahí.
I feel your frustration. I was supposed to move to Mexico (from the US) a few days ago. My residency is going to expire in Mexico. My country STILL hasn't returned my passport to me (had to renew it). As you've experienced, these agencies think you can just chill out in whatever country and that you have no other plans/obligations in life. Good luck!
I live in Germany and also had to struggle booking a resident permit appointment. You have to wake a very early and check the appointment system (refresh the page every 30 seconds). People either cancel their appointments on the same day or the Amt opens more slots. Good luck with the process!
Bureaucracy knows no bounds, no limits, no borders; either the process is so laid back that it takes forever, or so complex that it takes forever, or requires so many papers & signatures that it takes forever, or is being carried out by people who really don't care any more so it takes forever. I've lived on 3 continents and traveled in a 4th, and the same rules hold true everywhere. Hang in there!
I really like that you talk about that topic because with my boyfriend we are in a similar situation. It helps to hear how you go through this process.
My husband (from the US) came to Germany on a tourist visa and had to go to the Ausländerbehörde here as well and apply for the Aufenthaltstitel. It was a lot of paperwork but not as much as it was for us to get married here… That was even worse! We had to get all his documents translated by an official translator which cost us a bunch of money and well, it eventually worked out 🎉.
He got a Fiktionsbescheinigung as well so he was able to apply for a job here. After he had that it went relatively fast. He got to Germany in June and was able to start working (=got his Aufenthaltstitel) in October. Fingers crossed and thumbs pressed for you guys! 🤞🤞
I can totally understand you guys! My husband and I had to go trough the same process and it was awful!! He even had to buy another tiket because the visa arrived 6 weeks later than expected. I was already in Germany and I didn´t have a clue what to do. And when he arrived, the residency permit took 9 months to arrive! Finally, he got his permit for three years. Luckily, the workers at the Rathaus were very nice (truth is, we live in a very small town) and were always ready to helo us and to give us support. BTW, the videos of the wedding were beautiful!! I cried all the time!!
Mi proceso fue igual de burocrático que el tuyo Joss, mucho ánimo y paciencia, el año 2021 llegué con una visa de reunificación familiar y se venció mientras esperaba la cita, me dieron una prorroga, un gran papel verde jajajaja todo esto mientras se acercaba cada día mi fecha de parto, finalmente en octubre pude ir, mi visa de reunificación se venció en agosto 2021 y en noviembre del mismo año pude tener mi primera Aufenthaltstitel, pero solo válida por 3 años y eso que soy mamá de una pequeña alemana, en fin jajaj el próximo año debo volver a hacer lo mismo, pero ya voy a pedir la residencia permanente, aunque tome más tiempo el proceso, afirmen el bolsillo, todo el proceso cuesta un mínimo de 150 euros, lamentable pensando que hay personas que llegan aquí en peores condiciones. Muchos abrazos
usually if you send an email to your specific Referat in the Ausländerbehörde stating your situation (that there was no appointment available, that your visa expires at a certain time, and so on), this email is valid as an extension of your visa or residence permit until they give you an appointment. this is stated in the automatic reply they send when they receive your email. about the online booking appointment: there are specific times where new dates are put available, normally between 15-16:00 when the shift is over or at midnight. It is indeed pretty tricky... I saw that in other countries like Denmark the processing is much faster, maybe for you guys it would've been better in the end. anyways, best of luck!
What i love the most from this video it's the part were Janic sing "se logro" because we can see that he got a good relationship with his parents in law. ❤❤
I LOVED your wedding ❤
So magical and beautiful as unique as you as couple ❤ sending much love 💕
Applying for the permanent residence in the US was very easy, I did it myself because my situation was not complicated. It took 12 months to get a work visa while I waited for the permanent residence which took another six months. The caveat was that I wasn't allowed to leave the county until getting the residence. Other than that, the SS office and the Homeland Security office were easy and quick appointments, it took less than a half hour to go in and out. I understand it took a long time because there are millions of people applying for the same every day, but it was withing the timeframe they promised, so I was happy with that.
Nosotros nos mudamos a Munich hace 9 meses, con la ayuda de los abogados asignados por el trabajo de mi esposo y todo! Y apenas la semana pasada nos dieron la Blue card a mi esposo y a mi el permiso de residencia. Nuestras visas se vencieron en enero y ahi nos dieron un Fiktionsbescheinigung pero tambien se vencio como en un mes y algo. Pasaron mas de las 8 semanas que supuestamente demoraban despues del registro, y nada! Toco insisitirle a los abogados y nos dijeron para ir a buscarlas justo un dia antes de un viaje que teniamos! Recomendaciones:
1. entren a las 7am o algo asi temprano en la manana a ver las citas a esas horas las ponen y ponen para el mismo dia! Nosotros las conseguiamos asi!
2. Y esto es super importante que lo averiguen. A un familiar a de un companero de trabajo de mi esposo lo deportaron porque estaba viajando por europa con su visa vencida pero con un Fiktionsbescheinigung. Ese documento no es aceptado por algunos paises y no es como valido como para viajar asi. Obvio depende de la persona que te lo pida y todo eso, pero aja, es importante que lo tengan en cuenta!
Suerte y pasenla rico en Paris!! :D
I really was expecting for you both to live in Germany, I don’t know why… but at the end it happens😮 congratulations on your new residency!
I understand you guys!
Cause I'm in the process too! But before the wedding! My visa is for fiancee and we have waited my interview 1 year 8 months ago! The date is June 9th🎉 almost there!!! So I know the stress you went through 😅😢 toda esa incertidumbre en días de boda es una locura😂❤ But anyway the important fact is you are living together at the end!
I went through a similar process except that we decided to marry "por el civil" in Germany so everything was super easy afterwards for the residence permit, we will celebrate the big party in Mexico next year but at least doing all the paperwork here made it easier, also we live in Munich so maybe the offices just work in a different way because we were able to make an appointment online with no problem 🤷🏻♀️
I hope you can solve that issue, good luck ✨
Yeah, I had to renew my residence permit last year and everytime I tried to make an appointment, they'd say they would contact me. Then when the expiration date kept getting closer, they said on the phone that they're really busy and it's fine if it expires. I asked multiple times for them to email those words to me so that I could have it in writing, but they never did. I also wanted to know if this 90 day Schengen visa would start after my old residence permit expires, and they never gave me a clear answer on that. Eventually I did get an appointment about a month or 2 after my permit expired.
Hola! Creo que las embajadas y la burocracia es la peor combinación; yo soy de México y llevo una relación de 4 años con mi pareja Sueca; en enero del año 2022 hicimos una solicitud para una Visa Sambo y estuvimos esperando 17 meses para una respuesta o señal de vida por parte de la embajada, hace una semana nos enviaron un mensaje solicitando más documentos, se los enviamos y en unos cuantos días nos dieron la respuesta de que mi solicitud fue rechazada, lo peor de todo es que ni siquiera nos dieron un motivo... Ahora estamos intentando objetar su respuesta e investigar cuál fue el motivo del rechazo, pero incluso para saber ésto, se necesita papeleo y solo tenemos tres semanas para hacer el proceso nuevamente sino tendremos que iniciar de cero 😣.
That Mexico City video was one of my favorites! I even shared it on my Facebook page!
Keep checking for the appointment tho...just from time to time when you think of it, and you might get lucky sometimes. In France they release new time slots like on Monday night (can't remember exactly)... The extension paper usually won't last long so definitely don't let the "normal" process go. Gook luck!
Yo a ustedes los siento como unos primos queridos. Entiendo que ustedes y yo no nos conocemos pero AMO ver como las piezas de su vida se va acoplando y sus sueños se van cumpliedo. You guys are a great inspiration for those of us who have a long distance German boyfriend as well. Ich wünsche Ihnen viel Erfolg in Ihrem Eheleben! Ich umarme euch beide!
Ustedes son de mi familia ya, los quiero mucho, que todo salga muy bien.❤
Such an amazing couple please keep posting
I think you were lucky because that may take longer. My visa process took 6 months because of the pandemic. We had to ask a famous politician to help us and this politician called the Ausländerbehörde and then they moved their ass in my case. I arrived in Germany in January 2021 and in February I got a Fiktionsbescheinigung, this one doesn’t let me leave Germany, otherwise I would need to start the process again in my country. I felt so frustrated because I wanted to travel to Switzerland or France but I couldn’t, the Ausländerbehörde was very clear saying that once I get my residence permit, I’ll be able to travel abroad, meanwhile I had to stay in Germany because the Reunification visa is for Germany, and not Schengen or tourist visa. As mentioned above, I arrived in January, and finally after sending many emails, the last email worked out well because my German husband wrote something emotional saying that I had to travel to my home country to see my mom who was ill, that was true. And finally we got an appointment for June. We took all the documents they asked for the appointment and after 4-5 weeks I got another appointment to pick up my residence permit, I felt so happy! Last year I had to renew it since the first residence permit I got was valid for 18 months, the second one I got is valid until next year August because my passport expires in that date. So check your passport validity when you want to renew your residence permit. A tip: try to get the Leben in Deutschland certificate in advance when you want to renew your residence permit. Somehow I feel everytime my husband writes to the Ausländerbehörde, they reply the next day, the same with the German embassy in my country. We applied so many times for visas, such as bringin my 10yo niece to visit us and we became “experts” with this bureaucracy issue that sometimes we do kinda “Beratung” for bicultural couples, especially Bolivian-German ones because I’m Bolivian. We love to watch your videos guys, we did cry and laugh with every moment you shared about your relationship in your videos. I wish you all the best, and Geduld. ❤
I moved 5 years ago to Germany with my husband, who is a Spanish citizen. In principle, because German law does not apply, but EU law, I could apply for residency directly in Germany. The advantage is that we live in a small town, but it took me almost a year to get my residence permit .... and with the Fiktionsbescheinigung no employer would hire me. So, well, I reached B2 level of German at home during that time.
After the pandemic, the delays at the Auslanderbehörde have increased horribly, I am afraid, because my residence expires next year. The truth is that one of the things that has surprised me is how complicated the process is in cases like these where the law literally does not allow families to separate, but somehow they manage to drag out the process, which in the end means less taxes for them.
Yes! Go ahead with video :)
(So, sorry to hear about all up coming delays with all this process BUT the bright side is that now your are together and surely you will overcome ❤ Keep calm, stay in love! :) )
Lo siento mucho Jocelyn! Los trámites migratorios son complicados en todos los países y más en Europa.
Por ello debes tener paciencia, pero atenta a lo que te digan...
I’m a Mexican born, USA citizen and my husband an Albanian born Greek citizen. He was living in London for several years and I decided to move there once I graduated from the university. We got married civilly in the US when he came to visit and after 6 month I went to the UK with no visa. The week that I got there we went to a solicitor and he sent our application for my UK residency. After a week I had to go to the post office to do my biometric and after another couple week I had 1 meeting and another week passed and I got my 5 year UK residence. We eventually moved to the US and that process was more complex and very expensive took about 1 year but because by then we had been married for over 2 year he got a 10 year residency in the US.
It was so crazy for me but here where I live the were actually after me always making sure I had the things ready before the 3 months expired, but maybe is a but different cause my husband is from Spain. But if you guys are going to live in France for more than 3 months you have to get a residency at France not Germany, that happens everywhere in Europe, but important note is that you can go wherever your husband goes 😊 you really have to check into that 🤔
Qué bonito cómo Janik mira a Joss
Que horror, hasta me encorajine! Tipico de la burocracia alemana. Yo estuve viviendo de Fiktionsbescheinigung hasta que por fin me dieron mi Blau-Karte. Mi proceso no fue por reunificacion familiar. Es lo malo de vivir en ciudades grandes, que las citas son super tardadas y es mucha la demanda de procesos que tienen. Aun asi les deseo lo mejor y no se si tengan experiencias con las Fiktions pero en dado caso que se las entreguen, verifiquen si se puede salir del pais con la Fiktions, por en mi caso yo no tenia permitido dejar el pais hasta aclarar mi proceso y una amiga en Berlin si pudo salir del pais con la Fiktion. 😊
Jesus they made it so hard! We had a long distance relationship but luckily we both European so I didn't know how difficult that was for you😱 Wish you the best! It is a pain but will be worth it ❤
Es interesante que puedas aplicar a la residencia Permanente. Me imaginó que es porque conoces a Janik 10 años y tienen una relación de pareja de más años. Yo soy colombiana y cuando llegué a Alemania con mi visa de reunificación familiar, presenté mis papeles y solamente me dieron residencia por un año y debo renovarla. Cada estado federal y ciudad es diferente, porque hay más gente que aplica, espero puedas hacer todo sin ningún percance.
I am Argentinian married with a swiss in March 2021.
I didn't use the reunification visa, neither the marriage visa, we knew we wanted to get married but we needed to fix some ideas before ,like where to do all that?.
I was going to "try" how I feel after living together in Switzerland for 3 months, that was the first idea, then decide where to marry and where to live, it was COVID times so all was even harder to get into the country, I had to ask for an special permission to get into the country through the Swiss Embassy, they asked me to demonstrate our relation with photos, messages, travels we did before and proof that at least we met once. The most bizarre letter we did.
After 2 months I arrived in Switzerland (April/may) we decided to start with the wedding preparation for October that year, we thought it was enough time, and if we could have an extension of my visa till that moment. A civil wedding in Switzerland and religious one in Argentina was the plan. Knowing that I had all the papers we could need, buuuuut in the administration they told us we needed to get married before my visa expired, was not possible an extension, or the other way was to leave the country for 3 months and present new papers again with a new apostille and apply for the marriage visa in Argentina. Means TO DO EVERYTHING AGAIN but even harder.
That was not an option. So we married in June that year... yes we had to marry in 4 weeks.
Somehow was destiny, we had a dreamy place to do it, was amazing and somehow we resolve it.
We got married in Argentina, Patagonia in January this year in the church, also amazing.
Now, I have my visa B, every year I need to renew it personally pay Fr.120 and after 5 years, of living in the same place they say I can apply for a C demonstrating a level of German, and a good integration in the swiss society.
In conclusion...every country has the same problems.😅
I work in the immigration field here in France and I can say that the system is awful here too. Residency applications take way too long but I am sure (and I hope for you) that Germany is more efficient! Heads up guys 😊
no, Germany os not efficient with that at all T_T...But I also hope, that they have good luck with that :(
Spoiler alert: it is NOT
Con ese Bescheinigung puedes estar en Alemania pero no puedes salir, ni a otras partes de la UE, si sales y te cachan tienes aue empezar todo desde el principio (visa de reunificacion desde Mexico) yo tambien pensaba que seria rapido pero absolutamente no, yo vivo en Essen pero segun experiencias de amigos el Ausländernbehörde de Dortmund es muy rapido pero tienes que tener tu residencia oficial ahi
Cosas de inmigrantes 😢 pero no me canso de sentir tanta alegría y cierta envidia de ustedes 😂😂 Esposo bello y esposa bella. Me imagino como saldrán esos bebés 🤣🤣 Josy dile a Janick que el también debe hablar español, no siempre inglés x favorrrrrrr ❤ mucho amor para ustedes.
Yup. I could make a similar video to yours for getting into the UK with a partner visa. It's extremely annoying and emotionally exhausting. I have to renew it this year, wish me luck!
Yeah, we do want to see that video.
I'm going through the same with my Serbian husband
Recuerdo mi vez en la embajada alemana en CDMX (para mi visa de reunificación familiar) cuando me “entrevistaron” GAD no me preguntaron mil cosas, si mal no recuerdo fueron solo 4 preguntas🥹 pero buenooooo no deja de ser tanto papeleo y vueltas !! Y aquí estamos en Alemania viviendo desde hace casi 5 años 👨👩👧🇩🇪🇲🇽
Así es al principio luego se vuelve más fácil, a los 3 años ya puedes hacerte ciudadana alemana, paciencia nada más 😊
France is extremely bureaucratic too 😢 I came to study and then i stayed to work to be close to my french boyfriend and I have been going to the prefecture every year to renew my visa. It is extremely stressful 😔
Red tape is the most horrible thing. At least you were given your visa :). I don't think anywhere in the world just for marrying a foreigner you magically have the right to be in their country. I get so pissed off when someone tells me so 😂.
My husband is american and we just decided to give up in the process it's currently taking about 1.5 years if not 2 to get the appointment and the whole process is expensive.
So look up to you guys for not giving up. 😊
I'm pretty sure you'll get your residency pretty soon :D. Enjoy your stay in Paris ^^
I'm so happy to know that you're also making videos and sharing your experiences with us.
Send you a hug from Mexico. Love you ! Thanks for sharing your happiness and frustration with us 🥰
Sending good vibes for the next time Joss apply ❤
Some friends went through similar procedures in France. In the end they tried twice or three times and succeded but it's annnoying....
Aaay chicos jajaja todos andamos con la Fiktionsbescheinigung, 🙈😂 los entiendo aunque mi proceso de visa es diferente 😅
Pasé por lo mismo en Düsseldorf, nunca hay citas y nadie responde ni correos ni llamadas. Cuando debía renovar mi primera visa el de la extranjería dijo que aún quedaba tiempo para renovarla y cuando volví tiempo después me dijeron que fue incorrecta la información que me dieron y tuve que dejar Alemania a pocos días y entregar un papel en control del aeropuerto para que no me castigaran. El problema es que una vez que vence la visa o el Fiktionsbescheinigung ya no puedes salir de Alemania porque pueden prohibirte la entrada y tener que sacar de nuevo la visa desde México. Al menos eso me dijeron y solo puedes en casos de suma emergencia.
El año pasado me visitaban mis papás y fuimos en auto hacia Eslovenia y por poco no puedo entrar de nuevo, fué muy estresante.
Ya por fin recibí el pasaporte después de 3 años y estoy feliz de no tener que ir de nuevo al Auslanderbehörde. 😌
Que bueno que están en Alemania bienvenida lastima vive lejos de Stuttgart
Smart couple, best thing is to live there so she can become resident. Congratulations!!
me siento como tía pero les deseo mucho exito en esta nueva etapa jajaj que sean muy felices
I moved to Hamburg seven and half years ago, but in my case the process was simple since I am a EU citizen (I am from Spain). The long process will be next year since it will be 8 years since my move and therefore can start the process to get the double citizenship (German and Spanish).
Hola, hola. Mis amigos y yo queremos ir a Alemania. Somos de México. Que Aerolínea nos recomiendan para ir a allá, gracias !!
Omg I’ve honestly never felt so related to a video more than this one. I waited 8 hrs in the Ausländerbehörde to get my second Fiktionsbescheinigung. It was horrible and the worst part was that I wasn’t allowed to continue with my FSJ if I didn’t get the Fiktionsbescheinigung 🤡
I don´t know about Hamburg, but in Nürnberg, for example, they do NOT have any open hours at anytime! Ever!!! They don´t reply to you either, EVER!!! BUT... they aknowledge that they´re not answering, so at least they´ll send you the Fiktionsbescheinigung on a pretty considerable time before your visa expires, so that you can work...Cuz, for the ones that don´t know this, If you don´t have this document you can get fired right away, since your company can get a penalty fee from the state that runs into the thousands of euros! .... SO here´s the way to pressure them! You tell your Arbeitgeber, to send them A FAX or a BRIEF mit Einschreibung telling them that they need your Fiktionsbescheinigung urgently, and then somehow, the Amt starts to move.... Only people living in Germany would know the STRUGGLE! T_T GOOD LUCK!!!
no paro de reir con Uds. dos 😂😂🎉 desde las limpiadas de diente, hasta el 'happy ever after' 😉🇩🇪
I just got my spousal visa in Colombia a couple of weeks ago. The application process is a bit painful, but not nearly as bad as it will be when my wife and I want to go to the US, where i'm from. Once everything was turned in, which we did online, the colombian governement was very quick with their side, and we were able to get appointments with immigration whenever we wanted. The biggest problem for me was that clearly, the people working in the cancilleria were the unhappiest people on earth, and they acted like that was our fault.
Still though, i am really not looking forward to the day that we apply for my wife to go to the US. Maybe we just won't 🤷🏼♂️
Hi.. US expat linguist living in the Schanze, (HH, of course). Let me know if you have time for a beer at Schulterblatt.. LG GREG
In Austria is the same thing , can’t beat the Amt 🙃
Hi I am British and my wife is German, I had been living in 20yrs Germany when we decided to get married, It took us 11months to get all the paper work we needed ""just to get married", That is Germanys Bureaucracy. But I wish you lots of luck and when you have all the paper work you can have a good laugh about it.
Omg tanto papeleo..., Pero gran video cómo siempre muchachos ✨👏🏻💌
Yo me case con un Suizo pero allá, y tuve que hacer todo desde CDMX en la embajada Suiza y me tardaron como 3 meses para darme la visa por 90 días, y el tuvo que hacer también algunos trámites en Suiza, y cuando me avisaron que ya estaba aprobada mi visa, mande mi pasaporte y al día siguiente me la enviaron y ya pudimos comprar el boleto....y una vez allá con todo arreglado, nos pudimos casar sin ningún problema
Hola Joss and Janik. Felicidades por su boda 🎉 y su recién cambio de casa 😊
Yo también nunca había llegado tan temprano ❤ hahaha mandenme saludos 😛
The process takes forever 😂. I have been living in Germany for almost 4 years. I had the work visa and was enrolled into a learn german class. I have my B1 certificate (working on B2). We got married in Germany. I remember when we applied for the “ok” to get married 😂. Waiting for it was so stressful 😭. But after a few days it was ok.
That stress was just piling up but I think if you get married in Germany it’s “easier”.
It's giving Will and Grace
OMG, nunca había llegado tan temprano ♥️ los amo mucho
Que alivio sentí cuando recibió su visa 😊😊
Herzlichen Glückwunsch zu eurer Hochzeit ihr zwei🫶🏼 Ich folge eich seit 2020 und freue mich wirklich sehr für euch!!!
Ich habe noch eine Frage aus einem Interesse, vielleicht könnt ihr die irgendwann mal beantworten: wie kompliziert war es denn die in Mexiko geschlossene Ehe in Deutschland geltend zu machen?
I moved to Belgium (I’m Mexican) and I’m also here because of my boyfriend. I had to make line twice from 6am to pass by 11 am 😭
I got the papers but it was a horrible experience (it was on winter)
Espero que no tengan más problemas con esos trámites. Se que puede ser un dolor de cabeza.
Si quisiera ver el video de como planear una boda en la Riviera Maya. También, tengo una pregunta, con la visa de turista se puede casar uno? Mi novio es de Rusia y pensamos casarnos allá en esa área entonces si me interesa saber si esa es la visa qué necesita o si se requiere otra para casarse con una mexicana
Jannik saying “that’s what she said” 😂😂 love them
Love you guys love watching your videos ❤
I've read a lot of great things about Germany, but one comment I always see is that the bureaucracy is BAD.
As a Mexiacn I dream of being German. Everyone always thinks of that time in history when you tell them you want Germany.
I want to be Bach, Leibniz, Nietzshe, Wilhelm. Beautiful and historic country!!!!
Thank you sooooo much for this video! In autumn my fiance and i want to marry and then live together in Germany too. He is Mexican, I'm German and thus will be suuuuper helpful for us! I hope the Ausländerbehörde in my city is less overworked 🙈🙈🙈
I wish you all the luck you can get with the bureaucracy here. I know it's hard 😅
Creeo cue me quede en el mismo Airbnb cuando fui a cdmx
Ugh, that is so annoying! At least the video ended happily with your reaction to our well wishes. I wish you guys well with getting that paper when that time comes.
Since you guys started establishing a home base in Germany now, will you start a Na Toll office there too after your time in Paris?
Mi novio es Venezolano y para su residencia permanente aquí en México mejor pagó un abogado y todos los años no ha tenido problemas, ya que el abogado conoce a los de migración y ya tienen sus tratos ahí supongo :) todo muy práctico
You cannot leave Germany, if you have a Fiktionsbescheinigung (as far as I know). I hope u see this comment soon. LG..
Omg, I feel so lucky I got my visa within 1 week I was so surprised thou… 🥰
That Mexican accent is so cute!
Ugh I get the bureaucracy thing 🙄 it's all so unnecessarily slow and confusing. It's happening to me right now in Canada
Ya veo sus titulos drámaticos y digo: next,.
Ay tantas ganas de vivir en el extranjero, hasta que te das cuenta del papeleo, pero yo creo que vale la pena 😅
OK, jetzt verstehe ich das Problem mit dem ablaufenden Visum. Bei Behörden hilft immer nur nachfragen, nachfragen, nachfragen! Irgendwann bist du dann so lästig, daß sie dich loswerden wollen und dein Anliegen endlich bearbeiten. Aber Hamburg ist offenbar ein extrem schlimmer Ort was Bürokratie betrifft. Ich hoffe euer Anliegen ist jetzt endlich durch und damit das Behördendrama beendet, Alles Gute und bleibt glücklich zusammen!!!
Uuuy ese papel dice wue te puedes quedar en alemania pero no pyedes salir fe alemania hasta que tengas tu residencia a mi me tardo dos años en llegar
Im mexican too living in Germany. Im married to a german and we have 2 little girls (with german nationality). I got the C1 Level on German and will be starting an Ausbildung in September and they still ask me to attend the "Integrationkurs" BUT apparently you can study for this exam and present it without attending the course. My husband was the one who mentioned this Alternative otherwise they would have never mentioned it before.
I wish you guys much luck and Patience the same that I wish for myself. But I am positive we will make it Joss!!
Mexicana de San Miguel de Allende aqui!
Hola, en donde estudiaste Alemán?

Estudié por mi cuenta (porque cuando llegué a Alemania no pude asistir a la escuela) me apoyé mucho de maestros alemanes de RUclips. Investigué que temas le correspondían a cada nivel y de ahí entre RUclips y ejercicios en Internet.
Para aprenderme palabras tan complicadas cree mis listas de Vocabularios en las que grababa mi voz diciendo la palabra en aleman con su significado en español 😅 como que me volví autodidacta pero hay grandes maestros que explican los temas muy bien en RUclips y gratis.
Después de 4 años y dos embarazos, recibí el Certificado del C1 en diciembre. Para ese examen si contrate a una maestra alemana que fue mi tutora y me preparo para el examen. Sin bebes todo este proceso de aprendizaje seguro que es más rápido.
Si quieres mas recomendaciones y a que maestros youtubers recomiendo avisame.
Exactamente, hacer el examen en vez de los cursos de integración es lo más fácil. Ya que, por la alta demandada (por los refugiados) en los cursos hay listas de espera de hasta 2 años 😅. Yo también opté por esa opción junto con presentar mi certificación, pero yo me estoy preparando para el B1 😢😂
@@vannaavi el B1 ya es un gran paso! Creo que ese es el nivel que se requiere para entrar al mundo laboral acá. Tu puedes tocaya!
jajaaj ahora todos van a estar llamando el dia siguiente!! seguramente cancelan esa facilidad a la brevedad xD
I spent 8 months in Germany not being able to leave the country because I couldn't find an appointment 😑
Germany sounds complicated!
Kemoción los quierooo❤
¡Felicidades por su matrimonio , Joss & Janik! Les deseamos lo mejor ❤️
What??? Same mistake twice??? No booking flights before getting proper paperwork LOL Que lío eso de los permisos!!!!
Which Amt? Bürgeramt?
Alemania y su linda burocracia 🫠 😅 si se piensan quedar más de seis meses en Francia tengan en cuenta que Joss debe estar en Alemania seis meses más un día para que no tenga problemas con su visa cuando la tenga que renovar, o si tiene residencia permanente igual
Somos uruguayos los dos uruguayos sin nacionalidad europea viviendo en Alemania. Solo imagina😂
Just seeing the thumbnail and the title I already knew this was going to be about
💖 German Bureaucracy 💖
There is really nothing you can do but laugh about it 🤦♀️😅 I once read that Germany was voted the worst country to migrate to when it comes to bureaucracy...
