Hello all
I hope you are doing well.
I am Mirza from Afghanistan and I came to Germany in the evacuation program on 5 January 2021.
I have a question. I will be working full time after January 23rd. Because my wife is in Afghanistan and I want to bring her to Germany. Also I have a haus with 54 M2 space and I think its enough for 2 person. Some people say that people who have been transferred to Germany in the evacuation program and are allowed to stay according to § 22 Satz 2 AufenthG and have a residence permit for three years. can not bring their wife to Germany and can not apply for a Family reunification visa. Is this true?
I hope you will be kind and answer my question.
Thank you for your answer. I had read the rules so far.
Does that mean that according to the residence law, I am not allowed to bring my wife to Germany?
I would like to know if I pay all the living expenses for myself and my wife and have a house with enough space, am I allowed to bring my wife to Germany or am I not allowed to apply for a family reunification visa for my wife?
I was engaged before I received confirmation of admission. Because the Taliban took over Afghanistan, we could not register our marriage certificate with the government and my wife did not have a passport either.
That's why I came alone.
Now the security situation in Afghanistan is very critical. Especially for Hazara people.
Hello Mirza Hussain, sorry for the late reply. Indeed with residency according to §22 it is not easy to reunite with your wife family reunification is only rarely given. Since you were also not married before the §22 was granted this can further complicate things. Therefore, I would highly recommend that you seek out a counseling center or receive paralegal advice to see what options you might have in order to bring your wife to Germany.
If you let me know what city you are in I can try and direct you to a counseling center.
Best wishes

Yara _Community Manager Thank you to reply. I am in Berlin. It will be nice, if you can help me to speak with a counseling center.
Mirza Hussain, great Berlin has many options. You can visit the refugee law clinic and can make an appointment there: https://www.rlc-berlin.org/beratung?lang=en
