Residence permit and temporary residence titles
Sabrina Mahnke advises foreign nationals on obtaining and extending residence permits for various purposes. Whether it's for employment, studies, family reunification, or humanitarian reasons, she assesses individual requirements, prepares the necessary application documents, and represents her clients before the immigration authorities. Her goal is to develop legally sound solutions that ensure long-term residency in Germany.
residence permit
A permanent residence permit offers maximum legal certainty and extensive freedoms within Germany. Sabrina Mahnke guides clients toward this important milestone, verifying that the legal requirements are met: sufficient length of residence, secure livelihood, adequate living space, German language skills, and basic knowledge of the legal and social system. She identifies potential obstacles early on and develops strategies to overcome them. She makes optimal use of special regulations, particularly in cases of early permanent residence permits—for example, for highly qualified individuals, graduates of German universities, or recognized asylum seekers.
Permanent residence EU
The EU long-term residence permit is a special, permanent residence title that allows mobility not only within Germany but also in other EU member states. Sabrina Mahnke provides comprehensive advice to clients on the requirements for this permit. She explains the advantages compared to the regular settlement permit, such as the simplified conditions for taking up employment in other EU countries. At the same time, she points out the specific requirements that must be observed during extended absences from Germany to avoid jeopardizing the permit's status. Her advice is aimed at both third-country nationals who wish to obtain the EU long-term residence permit in Germany and holders of corresponding permits from other EU countries who want to move to Germany.
EU Blue Card | Skilled worker immigration
In the area of labor migration, Sabrina Mahnke primarily supports highly qualified professionals from third countries in obtaining the EU Blue Card. She guides them through the process of having their foreign professional qualifications recognized, reviews the terms of their employment contracts, and ensures that all formal requirements are met. She also advises on subsequent issues such as transitioning to a permanent residence permit or later acquiring German citizenship.
Family reunification
Family reunification in Germany requires not only compliance with legal requirements but also sensitive support during an emotionally significant life event. Sabrina Mahnke provides comprehensive advice to clients on the prerequisites for bringing spouses, children, or parents to Germany. She coordinates the necessary steps both in Germany and abroad, ensuring a smooth process so that families can be reunited as quickly as possible.
Right to remain
When a residence permit expires or deportation is imminent, Sabrina Mahnke reacts quickly and decisively. She examines whether grounds for tolerated stay exist, whether deportation bans apply, or whether humanitarian options for remaining in Germany are available. In proceedings before immigration authorities and competent courts, she vigorously represents her clients' interests and strives for legally sound solutions that enable them to remain in Germany.
Residence permits are often subject to additional conditions – such as geographical restrictions, prohibitions on employment, or reporting requirements. Sabrina Mahnke explains the implications of such conditions, examines possibilities for modification and exemption, and advocates for her clients' interests with the authorities. Her work is aimed at reducing unnecessary restrictions and creating the greatest possible freedom of action.
With her structured working style, her sensitivity to the individual needs of her clients and her sound knowledge of German migration law, Sabrina Mahnke is a reliable contact person for all questions relating to citizenship, residence and immigration law.
