Bro find a way to get a student or work visa to Poland, Spain, Portugal, Italy or France, Germany is not an immigration friendly country especially for asylum seekers, they just deported some nigerians on a charter flight back to naija last week.

"Directive 2001/55/EC" (Link to the act below) is the legal basis of your residence in Germany as someone needing temporary protection.

https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/PDF/?uri=CELEX:32001L0055

As far as I can understand from the act, there is no way you can retain your residence in Germany continuously, as it was not intended for that.

Like someone adviced, you'll either have to go a neutral country where you have a right of residence, so in your case, Nigeria, or Ukraine (assuming the war stops) and apply to come back to Germany,

Or if you really wants to stay back in Europe without going to Nigeria, then apply for a residence permit (maybe on the basis of studies) to another EU country, so your residence in the new country would not be temporary in nature, like Germany.

You can apply for a visa/residence permit from your country of legal residence, which for you, it's Germany. So get a study place in maybe Poland, then go study there. That's how you can stay back in the EU without going back to Nigeria.

But it might be too late now, because if your residence in Germany have been terminated and undergoing appeal, it will be difficult to proof to the Polish embassy that you're still a legal resident.

If you also hold Ukrainian citizenship, or married to a Ukrainian, then you could stay longer, but since Nigeria is not at war, the immigration office are within the scope of the law, to terminate your residence, for you to go back home.

I'll advice you don't waste money on lawyers. Lawyers knows you won't get it, they will just collect your case, give you false hope and eat your money.

You'll also earn yourself a shadow ban, meaning, they won't tell you, but getting a visa would be very difficult for you in the future.

Only use a lawyer to buy time (eg to save up, finish up a course, etc), since by law, you can remain in the country when your case is undergoing an administrative redress.
Thank you all for the contributions.

I would like to seek your advice also and necessary steps to legally remain in Europe. I currently hold a working visa on 9 months engagement in Paderborn which is extendable upon performance evaluation and luckily my spouse who's yet to get an offer but granted visa.

What's the channels for her to use in seeking for job within or outside Paderborn? Also, what your advice as a backup in case the extension becomes challenging?

Your spouse should apply for a language school, or a degree program in portugal. Then after she has lived there for at least four months, impregnate her.

So when she give birth, she must have lived in portugal for at least one year.

Portugal is the only European country that gives citizenship by birth to children if at least one of their parents are resident in portugal for at least a year when the baby is born.

So with a Portuguese child, you and your wife have the right to live in any country in the EU permanently under directive 2004/ec/58.

Thank me later
