Hi Gargie, If I have a recognised degree and I go with option 1, do I still need German A1 certification? In your case, did you also provide A1 certification??
I'm unsure if I fall under the first category if the German system recognizes my degree. Do I need to present my IELTS or A2 certificates in this category? Bcoz Point based Cat 2 only we need to show language Certificates. Please clear this doubt for me.
absolutely that's very important, spending so much money to live in a different continent is difficult. That's why I encourage people to have at least 2 years of experience
