Hallo,

what kind of residence permit do you hold?
Which §§ are written on the card?

Generally she (your daughter) needs a regular visa for family reunion.

Best regards

Jaja, life is hard...

If it will be hard or not that hard, generally depends first of all on the purpose of the residence permit.

what is the nationality of this child and where does it live?

Yes please. The one here is German citizen.

I am here with him in Köln but not married to his father. I can't find a job because l don't speak Deutsche and the Deutsche language school l am suppose to attend keeps postponing because of the covid19. I feel so depressed now.

She was with my Father when l was traveling but he has passed away too. Now she doesn't have a specific or permenent place to stay which is my other problem.

Her father travelled too when l was pregnant and we haven't been in contact since.

Thanks for that information. So please after securing the sole custody,  can l apply directly since l am not working?, or should have to wait for work before l can apply? And what will be my chances? Or do l need a lawyer to help me?

I would try this, because your case is an "atypical" case. You have a German kid which of course can live in Germany together with its mother. No mother can be asked to decide between two kids, one in Germany, one abroad --> kid from abroad can join its mother if mother is taking care for a German kid.

Hi,

sorry for my late response.

As it is statet above, your residence permit does not effect a privilege in your case.
You generally need an income to handle life without social welfare.

BUT as it is statet above as well, you and your family are protected by our constitution.
That means in your case, that you should not being forced to make a decision between your german child, who has any right to live here in his country with his family and your ghanaian child.

Because of that, the ABH may decide, that your daughter from Ghana can get a visa / residence permission as well, even if you are not able to live in the moment without social welfare (as erne already stated).

Specially now, because your daughter in now alone in Ghana after the death of your father.

It can be, maybe, tricky in this atypical case to get the approval from the ABH / Embassy. It needs argumentation and some standing, if the ABH will not (maybe, not necessarily) cooperate.
So, it would be a very good idea, to get some assistance from a NGO like "Migrantenhilfe" or similar, when starting the visa application at the embassy.

Regards

A laywer can´t really help, because the problem ist that you have no income and the law is that you need income! You need to ask help in a NGO like the last post said! Maybe they can help you...you must find a way to work together with the ABH and they help you. Or much better you find a way to work and create enough income to make it easy

Please do l need to contact a lawyer for help? And if yes, can you recommend one for me?

Please can l seek your advice about contacting a lawyer? Or any organization that you might think can help me out?
