Need advice from anyone who has dealt with the Ausländerbehörde with Employer change on blue card.
Hi everyone,
I'm currently in Erlangen on a student residence permit and have a Blue Card appointment at the Ausländerbehörde on 20 August.
I originally signed a contract with Company A, starting 1 September. I've now received another offer from Company B, which is better financially and starts on 1 October.
The issue is that Company A's contract doesn't allow me to terminate before the start date, so I'd probably need an Aufhebungsvertrag from them.
I'm wondering what would make the most sense with the Blue Card process. Should I try to get Company B's contract before my appointment and use that instead? Or would it be easier to get the Blue Card for Company A first and then change employers afterwards?
I'm especially interested in experiences from people who have actually done an employer change with the Ausländerbehörde in Bavaria.
Did your employer change while your Blue Card application was still being processed? Was the employer named on your Zusatzblatt? And how complicated/slow was the Arbeitgeberwechsel?
Also, has anyone had experience getting an Aufhebungsvertrag from a company before actually starting the job?
Thanks!
