German Creencard, and after ?

[daolwin]

I just write this to get some informations : I'm the first of the only 3 German greencard holders from my country (DRC) and I now live with my wife and our daughter in Germany where I'm working.

Being here since October 2000, I would like to know what should (could) happen to us after the end of the 5 years ? Would I be able to apply for 5 more years ? Will I get automatically 5 more years ? Would I be asked to leave the country ?... So many questions and nobody to give me the real answers.

Thanks.

Re: German Creencard, and after ?

This is actually not the right forum for that, since this forum is about the US Greencard.
But since I know a bit about the German "Greencard", let me explain this:
The socalled German "Greencard" actually is a misnomer. It is more like the US H-1B visa. After the 5 years, you have to leave. AFAIK, there is no extension.
There also is no path to a permanent residence. In light of this, the German "Greencard" actually @#%$'t overly attractive.

I don't know what this text mangling is about, what I said in the sentence is that "the German "Greencard" i s n 't overly attractive."
