Alex R Junior Member Member # 4064	Posted September 18, 2002 06:55 PM I am an IT graduate, and I live in the U.S. currently. Could I go to a German consulate to apply for a German Green Card. Will it also help my chances of receiving a German Green Card, if I can speak German fluently? Just to add that, My grandfather is a German citizen, and served in the Bundeswehr(military), but the problem is that he passed away 2 yrs ago. Can they pull any records of my Grandfather to help me with my situation.

In case you already are in Germany, get a contract from them and present it to the Arbeitsamt of the city where the company is and you will get a work permit (what I did for my second work).
Dr.Martens Junior Member Member # 6440	Posted December 10, 2002 04:11 AM Hi, Alex! I just registered here to help you if you are still interested to go to Germany. I can't help you about your work permit, but... If you are a descendent of a german, and you speak german (mainly it means you keep your german traditions and culture) you have the right to "zuruckkehren" (return) to Germany. However you can obtain a german citizenship in just a few months. So you don't need workpermit in Germany and anywhere and anymore in the better part of Europe. It doesn't bother your american citizenship, because both country recognize the so called "dual citizenship" status. If your grandfather was a german citizen and you have all the papers about his citizenship and military record it couldn't be hard to do all the paperwork. Ask the german Embassy in US! "Viel gluck" ps.: if you have any question, just ask me! jan-tsi@freemail.hu
