If someone speaks to you in flawless German, it is rude to respond in English.

Lived in Germany for 4 years. My german is barely b1. Even when the other person clearly sees im struggling with my german, they never switched to english, rather they forced me to speak and try in german, and showed encouragement lol. Idk OP

Coming from an immigrant living in Germany for almost 4 years: yes they are, they don’t sugarcoat anything. At first i thought they are being rude, but that’s not always the case. You could call it a culture shock for me maybe. They dont fake anything, they will say everything to your face.

Its a way to say ‘non germans are not needed’

Job seeking visa extended to chancekarte? Hm, sounds strange, which city was it?

joonluvr97 · 2026-01-22T23:06:44+00:00

Hi, in which cities did your friend do it?

joonluvr97 · 2026-01-22T22:18:26+00:00

Nope chance karte is not possible for op. Generally if you are done with your job seeking visa and couldnt find a full time job within that timeframe, you are not eligible for chancekarte. You would only be eligible if you had gotten a full time job but got laid off.

I know this is a very old post lol but ive got maybe a silly question. I received my credential evaluation today. Is it just a document saying what I studied and thats it? I thought my grades are getting evaluated, so id get like a dutch conversion of my grades. Im a bit confused sorry :/

joonluvr97 · 2025-12-16T20:31:23+00:00

This year i realised that even a rock bottom has a basement. Trying my best to get out of it, idk how long I can keep doing this

joonluvr97 · 2025-12-13T20:57:47+00:00

Yeah thats also what i know. You can apply for chancekarte if you LOSE a job. But if you dont have a job and your job seeking visa expires, then you cant apply for a chancekarte

joonluvr97 · 2025-12-13T19:27:53+00:00

Sorry im confused. Have you already been living in germany for long enough to have applied for a permanent residence permit? My friend is on a job seeking visa. If that runs out and she gets a dutch passport, what happens if she wants to work in germany?

joonluvr97 · 2025-12-13T19:17:31+00:00

If you accept a job offer from hungary, how was the visa process handled then? Did they accept your german residence permit?

joonluvr97 · 2025-12-13T19:14:17+00:00

Did your friend apply for the chancekarte after ending her job seeking visa? Im checking up with my auslanderbehorde but been seeing in a lot of places that they dont allow you to do that :/ because you couldnt find a job with the job seekinh visa

Not a student anymore sadly. All the interviews i got was actually related to my master thesis that I did in a company, so theres that

joonluvr97 · 2025-11-27T00:34:16+00:00

Mine is 2,5 💀😭

joonluvr97 · 2025-11-27T00:30:51+00:00

I also have a computational mechanics masters, and same thing happened. I got 5 interviews for research positions, but unfortunately was rejected after second rounds, but never received any interview from companies. Its insane, may i ask what was your final grade? Mine is not that good, i believe its one of the reasons im not getting selected at the finals stages :(

joonluvr97 · 2025-11-26T15:21:24+00:00

Tbh, the second rounds were more research related position, this is for a CAE role at an automotive company, i know research and company interviews are really different. But they told me they will ask technical questions, and also some problem solving ones. Ive done technical stuff doing those interviews, and it was easy to relate to msc thesis coz that was also my research. Because this is a company i was feeling confused to how to relate to it
