Are you an immigrant ? If yes, What are the problems that you are facing currently ?

I am. All the problems, since I write about them for a living (see my profile).

Right now, a Künstlersozialkasse application that has been pending for over a year (each reply takes two months or more, by post). Soon the renewal of my freelance visa, which will take anywhere between 3 and 9 months with no possibility of knowing what's going on.

I've been here for a while so my life is rather stable. When you move there with a family though? It's hell for a while.
