Visa Trouble

Hallo!,

So yesterday I had to go to the Immigration Office to get my visa extended.

I didn't get it because of ISA's lovely insurance.

When I signed up for that I was told that they would help me, as per what I agreed with GlobaLinks.

So the guy scanned my insurance informatión and found two things wrong with it.
1-It did not list Germany as an approved Country for the insurance.
2- There were no set dates.

So due to this I could not get my visa. The guy wanted me to come back next week, but I could not because I would then be 'illegal'. My visa had an automatic extention to my appointment date, so I needed something then. The guy took pity on me and gave me a paper saying I was legal until May 9th. He really should not have done that, because in Germany's eyes I am 'uninsured'. If I get sick or injured it could come back onto him.Also when I leave Germany I will have to go and deregister myself. This is frusturating because it was my understanding that ISA was to help with this. I blame Jeanne...

On another note midterms are next week for my context courses, and the final for B2 is next week. Then I will start B3. I am very pleased with this because I plan on coming back to Freie Universität for Grad School. They and Humboldt have an all in English masters program for Global Studies. So my German will be better by then hopefully.

I'll be sure to update in a few days

Tschüss!

(Also I apologize for any mispellings or random capitalized words. Gotta love German computers)
