I fixed the title a little, any member can do that (am not a mod). The only answers I have: "Can we register our marriage at Buergeramt with the civil marriage certificate provided in my home country? Does she need to be physically with me in the office for registering?" Basically, your spouse doesen't have to be present to register your marriage or prove it to the tax office. However, German institutions will demand an official German (not English or French) translation made by a court approved translator. Depending on your country, you also have to provide a so-called apostille, basically an internationally valid version of your marriage certificate. Talk to your Buergeramt and your embassy about this. "Is she allowed to work more than the limited hours for a student, because she is the spouse of a settlement residency?" No. "I have a job and pay monthly AOK health insurance. Can she join me as well as a family member as she only has a minijob which earns less than 520 Euro / month?" As long as your wife is under the income limit specified by the AOK (ask the AOK!), you can add her to your public health insurance (so-called family insurance). You will have to fill out a form every year.

I'm happy I'm still around, walking, talking, sane, with real friends and family.

Greetings from John! Just talked to him. He noticed TT was going up and down a bit, and asked me to post for him. He's been back from the eye hospital for some months now, and is doing much better, to the point of carrying the little Greek dog Mandy up and down three flights of stairs four times day. The pain of his exhausted arms is bothering him more than anything else. ; -) Here's a picture of him after his last procedure! :-D :-D (he specifically asked me to post it)

Oh bugger.

Alas! I remember him well. His rants and screams of pure, uanadulturated, intelligent, laser focused rage on TT were always to the point and hilarious. I never met the the man in spite of a shared love of curry, but I liked him. Bash away at the idiots in the afterlife, my friend!! woof.

John asked me to post this for him. He's in Hamburg undergoing another important procedure, so too busy to fight with JavaScript settings. H did however joke about a Greek doctor working at the clinic! Will send him best wishes from the TTers. John also is concerned about a fire very close to Takis, his favorite animal recue on Crete! In this clip, it looks like a brush fire: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ID6RFYgf-rc

Periods? (i)pads? Not for me :D :D

Whatever.

This forum is driving off the last remaining users (who held out against poor management and wacky to nonexistent moderation) by not fixing technical issues and by repeated outages. Some people can't post because they haven't deactivated JavaScript for whatever reason. The others don't care anymore. Once you turn off JS, there are no ads on TT to wade through, so no revenue for The Local. Another reason why they should fix this place - if they still care. Edit: EB is long gone. Good riddance. This post puts the whole situstion in a nutshell: https://www.toytowngermany.com/forum/topic/393253-packing-up-to-leave/?do=findComment&comment=3953607

I agree with Fraufruit we should buy TT for the small sum it is worth (would contribute) and run it ourselves!!
