Irene Wanjiru lives in Germany, where she delivered a baby boy on 10th June 2016. She has been living in Germany for almost ten years. Ms Wanjiru says the Foreigners Registration Office (Ausländerbehörde)Pferfemarkt 14 26121 in Oldenburg withdrew her permit because she stayed abroad for two years. She however claims the Foreigners Registration Office gave her permission to go abroad and be coming back every six months,which she did.But they said it was not enough even though that was the agreement.She kept airport stamps as the evidence.At the moment they are holding her passport,so making her life even more difficult. Last month Ms Wanjiru was given the Duldung or “temporary suspension of deportation”. This is a certificate issued to foreigners who are obliged to leave Germany. She says she is “so stressed” because she doesn’t know what will happen to her and baby since she was given a months’ notice to return to Kenya after delivering the baby. She have no where to go with one month child. “I feel really cheated by the Ausländerbehörde because they took away my permanent residence without any good reason,am not a crimininal and never been on welfare” Ms Wanjiru says, adding that the office “mistreated”, discriminated against her, and even threatened her while she was pregnant. She has launched an online petition on Change.org urging the Foreigners Registration Office (Ausländerbehörde) in Oldenburg to give her back her permanent residence permit.
