I am seriously wanting to explore the possibility of obtaining a German passport. My father is entitled to a German passport so does that make me eligible. With the current situation in South Africa and the whole Affirmative Action policy I need to ensure that my children are able to study in the field that they wish to study.
Who is the best person to ask and where can I get help? Would they consider giving me and my children "refugee status"?

Its highly unlikely YOU wuill be entitled to it. The fact your father is or not , the biggest thing is he does NOT have german citizenship right now.

Far more people think they are entitled than actually are entitled... immigration rules have changed in recent decades... and what might have been at one time... is no longer true.

If you need to hear this from them... contact the German Embassy in the country you are currently a citizen of.

WHere you get this affermative action thing I don't know... and ability to go to a certain school in a certain field has absolutely nothing to do with if you and particularly them have any right.

If your father isn't a German citizen right now, then he has no rights to a German Passport contrary to what he believes... nor do you or your children. Only German CItizens are allowed to hodl a German Passport.

Germany does not go by bloodline. However, if you live there and have a permanent residence, speak German fluently, you may be able to apply, but that doesn't include your children.

i doubt refugee status is an option. Phone the German embassy for more detailed information.

sounds like you are running from something from the way your post reads.
