Student residence permit application with insufficient money

[Isha_1997 11]

Hi,

So I am a Master student who has been unable to mobilize the full €11,000+ needed for a full year residence permit. I understand that without this there is no way I can obtain an "Aufenthaltserlaubnis" that is a year long. I do have some money but it is not adequate for a year. But is there a chance that I could perhaps get at least a Fiktionsbescheinigung or maybe some breathing time regarding money? Like I could apply with all my other documents... Or do they usually reject the application ASAP when they see the full money is not there?

Could you apply for one semester only, provided you have funds sufficient for half a year? I´d investigate that.

Yes exactly... does anyone here have experience getting a visa for less than a year when their funds were accordingly less? Or do you know someone?
