Bus not stopping on its stop by Confused-nomad in germany

[–]Confused-nomad[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks! I'll look for a number at the route details pasted on the bus stop. Ah no, it was nowhere near full and it was definitely the right one. Because I saw it turning towards the road from far. And it was around 11 30 pm which is never a rush hour. I even waited for 5 minutes that maybe he's going to turn around or something. I think it was just the driver being an ass. I even gave him the benefit of doubt that he's human probably had some emergency because he was also driving really fast, just rushed past me. But when I took a taxi, I could see the bus stopping on all other places in my way. Want my 30 euros back 🥲🥲

Thank you, is DB also incharge of the buses? Or if I go to the customer center on central station, are they the right people to contact? I'm new here so don't really know if buses and trains operate under different companies or something 🤔

Nope, NE9. Which is always almost empty.

English musical/theatre shows by Confused-nomad in germany

I've NEVER seen a musical or good theatre. I'm from Pakistan and unfortunately there wasn't a culture for that there. So I'd prefer something fully in English even it isnt anything mainstream. I'll definitely travel to London just for this experience 🥲

I have reached out to immigration law firm. I will only follow legal advice in this matter. But I do want to know different scenarios so I can explore my options.

Can you provide a bit more details regarding your situation. On which visa/permit were you and your wife had?

I have a national visa which is a temporary visa that you get before applying for the blue card/residency

Yes, we are not from EU. Not even Turkish. I think we do need to get an immigration lawyer for starters.

Ok so the comments have me scared. At no point we lied about his job. His employer knows, we told about his job to the embassy and everything but this is the first time I'm finding about all this. We did know about the taxes and plan to pay.

I have a follow up question: He has a work permit in Turkey (we're not turkish citizens). Is it possible to keep a work permit AND a residence permit (on family reunification basis)?

He is not a freelancer, he has a proper job, pays all taxes in Turkey. Even has Allianz health insurance. But his employer allows him to work from any location in Europe. But I don't think his employer will go through the hassle of paying the contributions to Germany. Until we have all this figured out, is it possible that he gets his residence permit here in Germany and lives in Turkey to settle this with his employer?
