At My Relocator, we are proud to support international professionals and German employers through comprehensive and transparent Blue Card application support.
Today, we are excited to share the story of Athira, a skilled software engineer from India, who found a job and successfully transitioned from a Chancenkarte (Opportunity Card) to an EU Blue Card by submitting her application together with her employer, with the support of My Relocator.
Let’s hear from Athira about her journey.
Q: Athira, could you introduce yourself and tell us how your journey to Germany began?
Athira:
I am a software engineer from India with experience working with international companies, including several years in the UAE. I entered Germany using the Opportunity Card (Chancenkarte) to find a job on-site in Germany.
Q: What was the biggest challenge you faced in your job search?
Athira:
The visa helped me relocate, but once I arrived, I realized that many employers were not familiar with this new visa category. During interviews, I often had to explain my visa status repeatedly, and some employers were hesitant to move forward because they were not familiar with the Opportunity Card and were unsure about the next steps.
Q: At what point did you come across My Relocator?
Athira:
When I was already in Berlin, I found a blog by My Relocator explaining how to communicate the Opportunity Card to employers in a simple way and how to address any objections they might have. That article helped me present my visa status more clearly during interviews.
Q: At what point did you reach out to My Relocator, and how did they assist you and your employer?
Athira:
Eventually, I received a job offer, and that’s when I reached out to My Relocator for Blue Card application support. The first thing that impressed me was their transparency and professionalism. Before onboarding, My Relocator clearly communicated that they are not a law firm and do not provide legal advice or legal representation. They also clarified that they are not affiliated with or endorsed by any government authority, including the German Federal Foreign Office, the Berlin Immigration Office, or the Business Immigration Service (BIS).
They made it clear that they do not guarantee the outcome of the application or influence processing timelines, as these remain solely under the responsibility of the immigration authorities. Their role is strictly to support with the accurate preparation, formatting, and submission of documents in line with BIS procedural guidelines, in coordination with the employer.
This clarity made me feel safe and informed. They were very precise about what they can and cannot do, which I appreciate — especially as an international applicant navigating German procedures for the first time.
Q: How was the coordination with your employer?
Athira:
My employer’s HR department coordinated directly with the My Relocator team. They helped the employer understand the process guidelines of the Business Immigration Service (BIS) and clearly explained which documents were required.
All necessary documents were compiled and formatted according to the required standards for submission, and the My Relocator team was patient, responsive, and supportive throughout the process — addressing every concern and ensuring that both sides felt confident about each step.
Everything was handled with structured communication, empathy, and complete transparency.
Q: Would you recommend this Blue Card application support service to other Opportunity Card holders?
Athira:
Absolutely — especially to those who have already received a job offer and need help submitting the application together with their employer. My Relocator made the whole process feel manageable. Their guidance and communication helped reduce the stress that usually comes with paperwork.
Final Remarks from My Relocator
