HELP! Trying to stay in Germany for marraige!
-
I am an American living in Germany, no job. I am being supported by my fiance who is a student and receives money from family; he lives with me in an OWNED house and we do not pay bills.
We applied for the 3 month residency and applied for a marraige license at the same time. The marraige license takes up to 8 weeks to go through, while we already got a response from the residency people.
They want proof of income, but as he is a student AND supported, he does not have a job. Is there any way to stay in Germany without a job or without studying? I speak little German, certainly not enough for employment anywhere near this small village.
That's one question; the other is: If the marraige DOES go through, do we still need proof of income to finalize the residency?
Any help AT ALL would be GREATLY appreciated! Thank you!!20 Lug 2005, 10:05 Anonymous

staying in germany....
I think u mean the rathaus is asking for all your papers and one of them is the proof of income....when i was asked for all this papers I was living in spain finishing my university supported by my parents.....if you are now in Germany and have no family, the parents of your husband should suscribe a paper saying they support him......This proof of income they ask is only to know how much u have to pay for the proccess.....which is 10% , if your fiancee gets from his family 1000 euros, u have to pay 100 euros for the rathaus to check your papers and give u the OK to get marry. The fact you dont have a job now is not a problem. I came to germany 6 months ago just go get marry with my husband, i did not spoke a word of german and I still dont have a job 'cause i just started to learn the language.

I have been living in Germany for the past 3 years, but my husband (german) and I (american) got married in the states. Another american friend got married in Denmark because you don't need to wait for approval or answer alot of questions. From what she told me it was the easiest way to get married in europe and is recognized in germany. She has been here ever since. Good luck, hope this helps!

What Anonymous said on 25 July 2005, 10:04:13 am sounds more like bribery to my ears as an attorney...
If you are married you have the right to stay – regardless of your income. They won't even ask for it. If you want to marry in Germany the general fee will be €55 plus any extras like different office for cerimony, of fancy hard cover for the certificate...
