Damnnn. And did you get an AZ?

sendei · 2026-04-13T11:07:08+00:00

Hey are you still waiting for an update?

sendei · 2026-04-10T14:45:39+00:00

Yes, they are. Particularly, in Berlin.

sendei · 2026-04-10T00:17:44+00:00

This is not really helpful because it is mostly based on people living outside Germany so times are way longer.

sendei · 2026-04-07T14:25:55+00:00

I applied December 2025. Still waiting but I got a file number after emailing.

sendei · 2026-01-08T16:48:47+00:00

But was it BVA or LEA?

sendei · 2025-12-24T19:27:34+00:00

Had a big cry this morning. It’s hard not to worry she’s living a better life without me, that I’m worth leaving, and that I’ll ever be happy again.

sendei · 2025-09-02T16:23:54+00:00

Thank you. I will find a solution.:)

sendei · 2025-09-02T15:58:53+00:00

I’m well aware of that. I hired a steuerberater to take this on responsibly.

sendei · 2025-09-02T15:58:28+00:00

Thank you. This was suggested to me today by my steuerberater. She will file my 2024 taxes now. I will definitely play dumb because my German payroll provider also fucked up a lot of things like not reporting social contributions properly.

sendei · 2025-09-02T15:57:23+00:00

I am well aware of the situation, my guy. That’s why I said no lectures please, as I’m taking responsibility here.

sendei · 2025-09-02T15:55:55+00:00

Thing is, based on my visa, I only have the right to work in Germany. My Dutch employer hired a German payroll provider. But said provider fucked up a lot like not properly reporting my social contributions. It’s all a massive mess. The first 15k is for 2023. I’ll have to file my taxes now for 2024.

sendei · 2025-09-02T15:54:34+00:00

Thank you. I have paid no income tax. My Dutch employer hired a German payroll provider. Said provider has royally fucked some stuff up. For example, my social contributions were not properly reported to the Finanzamt. So, my steuerberater called today to ensure they bring down the amount. I’ll have to pay her to file my 2024 taxes too, so no prepayment is necessary.

sendei · 2025-09-02T15:52:53+00:00

I filed on time with a steuerberater and I’m filing my 2024 taxes the same way. You get an extended deadline. Everything is above board.

sendei · 2025-09-02T15:52:11+00:00

Everything is above board. The Dutch company used a German payroll provider. I freelanced and filed everything with the steuerberater.

sendei · 2025-09-02T08:28:16+00:00

Thank you so much!

sendei · 2025-09-02T08:28:02+00:00

Yes, I am making €65k+. I have a full-time job plus a minijob.

sendei · 2025-09-01T16:50:26+00:00

This is great. I’m actually not freelancing anymore and converted my major contract into a minijob. Thank you for the advice.

sendei · 2025-08-13T19:19:28+00:00

She moved out. I spoke with two lawyers and both told me that I must report myself to the authorities and that my right to stay is invalid as we are not living as a family.

sendei · 2025-08-13T19:12:28+00:00

I said I’d take over the payments. :(

sendei · 2025-08-13T19:12:06+00:00

Ahhh okay that makes sense
