The German government wants to step in to prevent possible salary losses for thousands of civilian employees of the US armed forces in Germany. The background to this is the so-called shutdown in the US. link here (Only in German) Yet, they want thousands of small businesses to pay back COVID loans...

Eh, this is more unhinged:

I'm quite sure travel insurance should suffice for any mishap or illness that requires it. Check24 will compare for you. There's also this, that you can buy after entering Japan: https://www.jnto.go.jp/emergency/eng/mi_guide.html

Don't know how it works here but when I sued USCIS for taking too long, they were given 3 months to respond. They tend to lose track of such suits, so the game is to contact their attorney a couple of weeks before the deadline and ask them about it, essentially as a reminded. They are grateful for t...

... so even if I have just one client, and it's a US client, I can avoid paying pension contributions? Wouldn't the Finanzamt report me?

Please note that if your business client is non-German, that turnover does not count towards the 25k€/100k€ Kleinunternehmer limits. Oh really? I have been looking for this info. Thanks! So, a non-german (US, in this case) client can pay me whatever and I can remain a Kleinunternehmer? If there are...

Thanks, This info helps.

Any news?

Contact your ABH and ask them. They will probably tell you to apply for the NE and what documents you need. Thanks, I will do so when I get a little closer to the 3 year mark. (p.s: How is ABH, How do I find who my ABH, and their contact info. Is that the person who interviewed me and approved the ...

Did you apply online and then they said you must take a TELC B-1 in order to proceed or were you told somehow in advance? It simply isn't clear to me whether this is negotiable or not. If it's not then I've gotta search and find a way to sign up for a B1 test somewhere. Oh, there was no online appl...

Thx for the support! Gonna begin my online application this week. Registered in late February for the first available spot for the "Leben in DE" test, May 19th. For my NE I was allowed to skip taking a TELC B-1 test by demonstrating language proficiency in other ways (many DaF B2-C1 Vhs c...

Upon realizing that under the new current laws, that after only 5 rather than 8 years here and being in possession of a NE, I can now apply for German citizenship, I've begun to seriously consider the option. Why? Cuz I can! And, cuz at the moment its EZ PZ to be a dual citizen, which can change on...

This is all making me sick. It's going from bad to worse hourly. They're heiling at CPAC now, and the Musk Rat has our data and is going to train his AI Grok 3 (can you have a MORE dystopian name?) with everything the federal government has about us, and theyre consolidating power. I know there's a ...

Does it mean people can be EITHER male OR female OR Mexicans???

Hehe that's the third gender he doesn't want.

Just leave the AC button on if you have it. Apparently wiping the inside of the windshield with shaving cream works, and there are defoggers from RainX (FogX) and German brands too. Keep the inside clean as prints will make it more difficult to see even with a little fog. Keep a clean towel to wipe ...

So, there's an election watch party in Frankfurt on the 5th/6th. If you're interested, message me and I'll give you the details to RSVP. It will be near the Hbf.
