      What you end up with

    The offices this path goes through

    • Issued by · Submit to · Handled by

      zuständige Ausländerbehörde

      Stated by Gesetze im Internet

      gesetze-im-internet.de/aufenthg_2004/__82.html

    An office is listed with the role it plays on this path and with who says so. Where the register holds only people's reports of an office, it says that instead of stating it as a rule.

    § 5·Sources

    Official pages this path was built from

    1. [1]§ 82 AufenthG - EinzelnormGesetze im Internet · (5) · last seen Sep 17gesetze-im-internet.de/aufenthg_2004/__82.html

    Every page is linked at its origin. Where a page has changed since it was read, the entry is marked for a recheck rather than quietly re-stated.

    This entry states what the procedure requires and where each statement was read. It is not legal advice, and it does not replace the authority that issues the decision. Where a professional has signed it, their signature covers this revision only.
