Heidelberg is amazing, they have a university and an american community as well....I think there is an american military base there still so if your german is rusty maybe you can work somewhere on base for a while. Study should be no problem but you must apply like everyone else. Work is open to you once you get a unbefriste Arbeitserlaubnis (unlimited work permit) which is usually issued (mine is a sticker in my passport) after you are married (to a german citizen). Before you are married you are only really allowed her 90 days on a tourist visa and must go through a process to extend that this includes all sorts of statements from the police and your bank and a medical insurance company stating you have no criminal record, have financial stability and are medically insured. At least that is how it was when I moved over. Definitely get in touch with the Germany Embassy before you leave to get all necessary paperwork done before you come over. One thing you will learn is that the Germans love processing people and you will spend some time in and out of various offices until you!ve gotten your permits, visa and any study plans all sorted out - once you're in, you're in but some things have expiration dates so keep an eye on those.

Thanks sooo much for a very helpful answer. I really appreciate it! Do u know what are the requirements for me to be able to go to a skilled school in germany? (Not the university) i heard like an apprentenship while studying.

By the way i am a filipino and a 35 years of age! I am really afraid that i couldnt find a job or study. i don't want just sit down in the house waiting for my husband to be.

I'm sure your bf could fill you in better...the school system here is very complicated but basically all ids go to elementary for at least four years then get evaluated for secondary schools which vary...depending on the states...most have a gymnasium (university prep) which end after 12 or 13 years, then there are other schools that end after 10 years, those students go into apprenticeship programs of which there are many and several speciality schools supporting apprenticeships as well...not sure what is available in Heidelberg though you can inform yourself over the Internet and make sure to get any requirements they may need before leaving. If you can't get into an apprenticeship program right away definitely enroll at the Volkshochschule, this is an continuing adult education school, some classes are just lectures about subjects,mothers offer certificates and that is important. There are usually Germanclasses offered here for non-German speakers, it is a good place to meet others in the same situation as you . I have lived here way too long to be of much help as to what is actual for requirements because it has changed so much since I arrived, but you should become proficient in the German language. Contact the Germany embassy where you live and make sure to have all your old transcripts and paperwork before coming over as it is a huge headache once you're here and must rely on some else to obtain that and send over.  good luck!

Sorry about the typos there - lol

Thank you soooo very much!!!

No problem...here is the link to the Volkshochschule in heidelberg...looks like they have a lot to offer:

A work permit upon marrying a German is usually limited to certain jobs you can show you have experience in. One has to be married for a period of 3 to 5 years, depending on nationality, before one gets an unlimited work permit and unlimited residency. An unlimited residency or work permit is NOT given right away just by marrying a German. Like others mentioned, the Volkshochschule, found in all major German cities and reasonably priced, is like a community college open to everyone, where you can take courses on many subjects including German for foreigners. They often offer both German courses that meet an hour or two for a couple of days a week or intensive courses that go half a day for 5 days a week. German Universities are now tuition free but can have many requirements and are NOT orientated towards people learning the language. The Volkshochschule or many private language schools are more appropriate for this.
