If we leave for longer within the next few years, we will check up on it (although I had actually read that at 8 years my permanent becomes permanent- is it really 15?).<br />Still far G in Berlinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11168975470282994167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4915444177822430212.post-86933631387869122992011-01-13T12:01:59.904+01:002011-01-13T12:01:59.904+01:00G - are you sure that you would lose perm. residen...G - are you sure that you would lose perm. residence if you were out of the country for >6 months? I think there are special conditions there (again for those of us married to German citizens - and lasting only as long as the marriage does). Check out, or have your husband check out - § 51 AufenthG (2).

It just seemed that the appropriate thing was to become as fluent as possible in the language I live inside- and this from someone who still watches my local news (upstate NY small town) several times a week!<br />@J: Thanks again!
