I'm in another Schengen country in the EU waiting for a residence permit. But I changed my plans because now I want to go to Germany to study.
Since I don't have the residence permit yet, I can't travel from this country.
Since I have been waiting for months, I'm technically still in schengen. But I'm here legally under this country's laws, as I am waiting for the permit.
It will take more months because I need to get documents apostilled from the USA.
The residency permit is backdated to the time of application. But I want to go to Germany now.
I want to apply for a German residency permit that I am eligible for. I cannot go to Germany to get it because I'm in this country. I can apply at the German embassy in this country, because I cannot enter German on a Schengen visa, which I think it counts as expired until my current residency permit goes through, which will take too long.
If I can go to Germany, then I would then cancel the residency permit for this country.
Can I, after applying for the residency permit I'm eligible for, while it is processing, get a Fiktionsbescheinigung and go to Germany immediately?
