A few months after we arrived in Germany, Kevin and our four kids got visas (or Residence Permits) to stay for four years. But for me - their mama - I only got a permit for one year! ACK! In order to get a permit after one year, I was required to do a 600-hour integration course. Which is totally fine, except for the fact that I'm a working mom of four. The only option for the course is to go 5 days a week, for 3 hours a day, for 10 months. This works for those who aren't working parents, but it's a huge inconvenience for working parents. We had to find another option - were we able to succeed with the infamous German bureaucracy and come up with a solution that works for all involved? #shorts

//ABOUT US//
We are a family of six, with four kids and a cat 😹, who moved from the USA to Germany in February of 2021 to pursue our dreams of adventure, travel, learning another language, and integrating into German life. We hope you enjoy our videos about our journey to integrate - the highs and the lows of being foreigners on the adventure of a lifetime.
