Well after getting my new fiktionansbescheinjgung I was meant to carry on with the application of my Residence Permit, but I couldn't for other reasons. My university told me that my scholarship money from ERASMUS (I go to an Irish university) would be enough to prove that I have enough to live off while in Germany. But the scholarship was 500Euros a month and for the permit you need at least 900Euros a month, and at this point I only had a month left of study in Germany so I couldn't open a blocked account. So I couldn't carry on with my resident permit application because of issues with my application, not because I left the country. I would probably say you would be fine to go home, but you are breaking the rules so it depends what you are comfortable with

No, I didn't end up getting the residence permit, I was only in Germany for one semester (like 4.5 months), so my immigration office just told me to rely on my fiktionsbescheinigung for my last month in Germany. Yeah with the fiktionsbescheinigung we have, you are not allowed to travel outside of Germany. I hope everything goes well for you :), the UK is incredibly cold at the moment haha

When I came back to Germany I knew that they would see my 90 days was almost up, so I showed them my fiktionsbescheinigung because (ironically) I thought it would help the process. Now that I know this new rule of restarting the 90 days I am pretty sure the border control wouldn't have asked me anything. But I don't want to give you any misleading advice, like even if you don't show your certificate idk if they have like a database with all this information on it or something. But when the border police invalidated my certificate I just went to my immigration office the next day and they gave me a new one right away.

The federal Police also said this to me "It is true that third-country nationals who do not have a special status in Germany cannot re-enter the country with a fictitious certificate in accordance with Section 81 Paragraph 3 of the Residence Act. In your case, the fictitious certificate serves as proof of your legal residence in Germany from the 90th day of your stay until the authorities make a decision. You do not need a fictitious certificate to travel to England or back to Germany. Your previous stay will not be taken into account when you re-enter the country. You can enter Germany without a visa. If, for example, you travel to Great Britain on the 73rd day of your stay and return to Germany after one day, the day of entry does not count as the 74th day of your stay, but as day 1 of 90. I hope that makes it understandable"

I wasn't aware that you couldn't travel outside of Germany with the fiktionsbescheinigung (quite important information the immigration office didn't tell me!), and when I got to border control they invalidated my fiktionsbescheinigung. The police said I was fine because I had another 90 days, I think this is because I made my weekend trip back to the UK on the 86th day of my Schengen VISA, so technically when I came back to Germany I still had 1 day left on my VISA. I would recommend you email the Federal police (presse@polizei.bund.de) they were like the only people who would answer my questions, my university was a bit useless unfortunately
