Do you possess a so-called "befristete Aufenthaltserlaubnis"?

If so, it should be possible to get your future wife over here.

According to § 17 "Ausländergesetz" the authorities can grant your future wife a visa for the purpose of you and your wife living together. The following conditions have to be fulfilled:
1) You possess a "Aufenthaltserlaubnis" or "Aufenthaltsberechtigung"
2) There is sufficient living space
3) You can make a living for both you by your work, your own assets or own other means.

Of course it will be necessary that you provide proof for your marriage as well as living space, income, etc.

Hope that helps.

At this forum there is a special sub-forum about the "Zuwanderungsgesetz", which is the new law you are referring to.

I know that in this sub-forum there have been some discussions about about this point you would like to clarify, e. g.
http://www.xonder.at/cgi-bin/yabbserver/foren/F_0134/YaBB.cgi?board=zuw;action=d...

I haven't followed this discussion in detail, but my impression is that at the moment not all details are clear yet.

I recommend that you post directly in this subforum. Furthermore, generally I think it would be a good idea to post in German - if possible somehow. That would significantly increase your chance to get the infos you need.
