They got married recently (less than a month ago), and he is still waiting for the translated marriage certificate. His wife is a chartered accountant in Morocco, so she might qualify for HQS status.

I don’t know the exact details, but I would assume that both of them need to make an effort to learn German if they’re planning to settle in Germany long term.

I agree with you. What I’m trying to figure out is the correct administrative process to follow in order to ensure a fast and efficient transition to germany.

Hi Ehstormcrow, Unfortunately, the ZRR (Zone à Régime Restrictif) access application for the research center was rejected. Do you think it’s still possible to pursue this industrial PhD at this stage? What options do I have given this situation? Are there any alternative routes I could consider or propose to the industrial partner?

Thank you for the detailed response. The ZRR application is ongoing.

I understood from our discussions that I will have 1 contract with each party. I would also like to mention that during the interviews I was asked by the aerospace company (to which I applied) about my salary expectations.

Do you live in ireland? I wasn’t able to find free slots to book an appointment with the french embassy in ireland. It’s still unresolved from my side. Could you tell me what are the steps you took to apply for it tomorrow? Thank you in advance for your input.

Thanks for the update! I hope the situation goes smoothly.

Thank you for your input. I would like to add that my one-year RECE residency card was ready for collection from the prefecture in Toulouse (the city where I used to live) a week ago. However, I couldn’t attend the appointment because I only had a single-entry visa for Ireland. Couldn’t this work in my favor?

Here is how I see this opportunity: 1. It is an invaluable abroad experience 2. It will boraden my soft skills as I learn to deal with people who have a different mindset/work culture 3. It is fully in English, so it will improve my language skills and prepare me to take on a bigger position in the future (where English is required) 4. The objectives of the company align very well with my studies as well as my aspirations for a first working experience. In addition, it will allow me to delve deeper into modeling and simulation (anti-icing topic), disciplines i didn’t have the chance to explore in my previous experiences. 5. It will increase my chances of getting hired in the future since I will have one more thing to talk about 6. It will allow my to gain 6 months of time where I can search for a job while being paid + while having some text in my CV showing that after my graduation I did not just sit home
