• For what reason did you decide to apply for a German residence permit?
  Initially, I planned to move to an English-speaking country, since my level of English is the highest among all the foreign languages I speak. However, after more careful study of the information, I liked the option with Germany. A country with the largest economy in Europe and a high standard of living. At one time I loved to read Kavka and Remarque. So the decision was made in favor of Germany, and I no longer considered other countries.
• Why training?
  Training – this is a continuation of my professional activity. The Global MBA program provides the degree needed to manage large teams. Considering that I have been leading various teams for more than five years, especially in the banking sector, which is actively developing in Germany, such education will be a valuable addition to my profession. This is additional certification that I can be a manager. In addition, many executives I know received their MBA in Europe.
• Have you encountered any difficulties while collecting documents or applying for a residence permit?
  When taking the Duolingo exam, I did not take into account the strict requirements of the assessment system. You can’t take your eyes off the monitor, no unnecessary noise in the room. You need to close yourself in the room and look only at the monitor, without being distracted by anything. My phone rang and, accordingly, Duolingo crashed. Well, then, naturally, I took IELTS and took a month and a half preparation course for it.
  As for collecting documents, you prepared translations for me quickly. I had all the other documents available. It is worth noting for those who are planning to take Duolingo that, despite the remote format, they very meticulously evaluate everything that happens in the room. You need to be prepared for this.
• Do you plan to live in Germany after completing your studies?
  I think most likely yes. At a minimum, in any case, I will work in Germany, study, and see the situation. At the same time, I still have connections with Uzbekistan: my company, in which I am a co-founder, is located here, as well as several real estate properties that I have acquired. But overall I am looking at a future in Germany. It is important for me to evaluate everything on the spot.
