u/HAL-3310

Hi everyone,

I have a question regarding the residency application process. My situation is:

I'm a non-EU citizen with Polish Residence Permit (Karta Pobytu).

I'm married to a German citizen.

Can I apply for my residence permit for family reunion directly at the local Ausländerbehörde using § 39 Nr. 6 AufenthV?

I have received conflicting advice, some say I must go back to my home country for a National (D) Visa, but others say I can apply from within Germany because I already hold a residence permit from another EU state.

Has anyone successfully done this or can confirm the legal process?

Thanks!
