No, you will not be deported immediately. If you are in Germany on a 16d recognition visa, you are legally allowed to retake the B2 exam. However, your visa will expire if you cannot pass within the designated recognition timeframe (usually 18-24 months). If you are struggling, hospitals often extend contracts and provide tutoring.
