I am in the process f reicieving an artist visa from the Auslanderbehorde BUT I went in on 7.7.8 and they were on strike! I can't find any info in English about this and when it will end. Thank you for your help;)
Dear Saudia,
thank you for your email via expatica.com. Unfortunately I cannot see in which City you are in the moment, so it is hard for me to tell. A strike in a German “Behörde” is rather unusual, because they are not allowed to do that. Nevertheless, best thing would be to call them and find out about the opening hours (sometimes they open only on special days) or you call a relocation agency in your city, they should be informed about the details and speak English fluently.
Costs of biz coaching: That is depending on the case and topic and should be decided after a first interview which is always free of charge.
If you have further questions don´t hesitate to contact me. Have a nice day.
Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Best regards
