i got it without a1 certificate

either is fine...

Guess that is only for Brits. 

guess this applies only for the Brits right not for non EU nationalities?

Hey pappnase,    Thanks for detailing out the application process.    For the German B1 test - was wondering whether you need a certificate from Goethe or just appearing at the amt for a brief test works fine?   Appreciate your response! :)

Hello, a friend who is a non-EU citizen and living with her husband wants to separate.  But her visa is apparently dependent on her husband. She wants to continue to live here in Germany.  I asked her to register for a masters or bachelors program as a backup. Any hints on a similar situation for anyone?  

Hello all,  Do you know how to report a foreign divorce which impacts tax class to the FA? Is an email sufficient to change tax class to 1? Please advice Cheers! Kay

You do not need to give up the NE (Die grundsätzlichen Voraussetzungen zur Erteilung einer Niederlassungserlaubnis sind gemäß § 9 Abs. 2 Satz 1 AufenthG:) If you switch to becoming a full time masters student in a German uni? Your thoughts?  

Can one apply for naturalization while being a student at a uni? I am thinking of quitting the job, sitting in the Integration course while registering into a master program and then getting the citizenship.   My main purpose of getting the citizenship is improved mobility.  

Yes you can have a look here    https://www.hk24.de/en/produktmarken/startup/point-single-contact/top-funding-programmes/1168664    The busniess plan needs to be prepared and submited for approval in German. In most cases, you will get the grant. Success rates are high. 

If your personal project is a business start up then you can think about applying for strartup grant  That way you will be able to establish the businesss and also retain the NE.   For NE to continue you need to prove that you have a Lebensmittelpunkt here in Germany. So, if you keep a temporary apartment or a room that should suffice, I "guess".   If citizenship is important for you then please check with a lawyer - they know all the ways out :)
