I have some possibly unique circumstances and I’d love some guidance.

I’m a US citizen in a relationship with a German. I spend roughly 3 months in Berlin every winter and she visits me in the US.

I am hoping to obtain a residence permit so that I can stay for up to 4-5 months rather than 3 months. Obviously, the issue I am trying to navigate is the 90 day tourist visa limit.

I am financially stable and can provide proof of considerable savings. I would not be working during this time.

What is the likelihood of being approved for a residence permit under these circumstances? I’m just trying to spend more time with my partner, so that would be the sole purpose of my stay.
