Skilled worker immigration

The Skilled Immigration Act offers qualified workers from abroad significant advantages under residency law. However, the legal regulations are complex, and the requirements of immigration authorities and German embassies often differ considerably depending on the individual case. Even minor errors in the application process can lead to delays or rejections.

As a lawyer specializing in immigration law, I advise and represent skilled workers and companies in all residency-related issues concerning skilled worker immigration.

I can assist you particularly with:

​

• Visa procedure for taking up employment and job search (opportunity card) in Germany

• Residence permits for skilled workers with vocational training

• Residence permits for skilled workers with academic training

• Application for the EU Blue Card

• Recognition of foreign professional and academic qualifications

• Job change and employer change

• Extension of existing residence permits

• Family reunification for skilled workers

• Settlement permits for skilled workers

I check the residency requirements, assist with the application process and represent my clients before immigration authorities, German embassies and administrative courts.

Especially in cases of lengthy processing times, inquiries from authorities, or rejections, early legal counsel is often crucial. I will support you in preparing legally sound applications and consistently enforcing your immigration rights.

I also assist companies with the employment of international specialists and with all residency-related issues concerning the hiring of foreign workers.
