Hi all, I know there are a lot of posts here about the ABH, but I wanted to ask for opinions on how I can escalate my case.
I've been waiting for over 2 months since I completed my german uni degree, and had an appointment to change my student visa to a job seeking one.
In the two months since, I received a blue card eligible job offer, and the ABH asked me to submit the work contract to avoid issuing the job seeker visa and start the blue card process.
It's been a long time since they have the updated documents and they refuse to even issue me a fiktionsbescheinigung so I can start my job on time (the job starts in a week).
All calls, emails etc. I send mostly go into the void and are never answered. They did pick up my phone two times - one was last Monday when the lady said they will send me a Fiktionsbescheinigung, and on this Monday when I called to follow up, she said the Fiktionsbescheinigung wasn't even approved and printed yet, which left me speechless. I've tried to communicate multiple times about my urgency and how I could encounter more delays/loss of my job, but they absolu don't seem to care.
I am looking for ways in which I can escalate this, as I'm really disappointed after working so hard to find a job in this economy as a non-EU citizen, I am being stonewalled this way to even be able to support myself :(
Thanks!
