    I tried. Even got a degree in German Language & Literature. Took additional language courses through the Goethe Institute in DE, etc.

    Though I’ve spent the last twenty years as a software developer (which is classified as an Engpassberuf), I was told that the regulations would only allow me to seek work based on the skills from that degree (Berufsqualifikation).

    “We already know how to speak German.”

      You could check on the new requirements. There are some massive changes this year to the work visa programs. One such change is that you don’t have to work in your field of education anymore.
