Hi everyone,
I’m currently waiting for my residence permit extension from the Stuttgart Ausländerbehörde. I’ve already applied and received a confirmation email, but I haven’t received any update yet. My current permit expires in about 2 weeks.
I urgently need the Fiktionsbescheinigung because:
I need to renew my HiWi contract, and
I’m about to start my Master’s thesis.
I wanted to ask specifically:
- Has anyone had success going directly early in the morning without an appointment in Stuttgart? Does that actually work?
- What do they usually consider an “emergency”? Would contract renewal / thesis start count?
- If you went in person, how quickly were you able to get a Fiktionsbescheinigung?
- Does it help to bring a letter from a professor/employer explaining urgency?
- In general, has anyone in a similar situation managed to get a faster response?
I’m trying to figure out whether I should just wait, keep emailing, or go there in person.
Any recent experiences with Stuttgart would really help!
