Path to German Nationality

Hi Every one
Need some information regarding German nationality law and this forum is always helpful. I am a British citizen working in Germany for last 15 months as consultant my wife got British spouse visa valid until May 17 and on that ground she got her German residence card valid until the same time. We are blessed with daughter here as well and her British passport is sorted. When I arrived here I never thought to live here more than a three months but contract getting extended and now both Job and money are very good and my wife also kind a like here too. My question is If we want to live here permanently is there any clause in German law which helps my wife to get German citizenship with in 5,6 years? Otherwise I will go back to UK and wait for time because there its done thing (until now at least).
Please answer it if any body have any information.

Thanks In Advance

EU free movement & treaty rights is your friend...

You could start here:

And if you change your mind and do return to UK in the future you will then be classed as an EEA national returning under Surinder Singh rules;
ie your wife's immigration journey can continue in UK but under EU rules.

Hi
Really appreciate you quick and helpful reply. I will go through the page u send me seems like there's an option.

Thanks again

She can get permanent residence after five years, residence requirement for applying for German citizenship is 8 years.

You can always go to your local "Einbürgerungsbehörde" and get advice regarding your specific situation.

Hi
Hope you all dong good. Just need some information, if any of you have, in post Brexit scenario. My wife's spouse visa will expire in 8 months time and I have no immediate plan to return to UK as I already explained job and money is good here. Her EU family member visa here in Germany will expire in 10 months (2 months after expiration of British spouse visa and this is also last date of validity of her current passport) and I don't know what will happen to her after that.
Is any of you have any idea what will happen to people living in Germany on EU family member visa? Before Brexit I know that she will get her visa extended and after five years she can apply for some kind of PR.
Another thing I need to know is there any chance to get her PR sorted in Germany according to some local or EU before five years time as my daughter born here as well?

Thanks In Advance

UK has not even triggered article 50, yet, so the actual exit of UK from the EU is probably several years in the future, in any case more than ten months in the future.

Have YOU exercised treaty rights continuously since your wife's residence card has been issued?

If yes, she can apply for a Daueraufenthaltskarte = PR.

If not, she can apply for another Aufenthaltskarte and then apply for PR once the five years of your exercising treaty rights are completed.

If she fulfills the requirements (German language skills, no public funds, etc.) she could probably also apply for an indefinite residence permit under German domestic law, best ask your local Ausländerbehörde about specific requirements.

She can apply for naturalisation after eight years of legal residence in Germany and passing the language and citizenship tests.

Thanks for your kind reply.

Regards
