Ayomide002: Does anyone know if they are giving out appointment date for FRV?
The last reported date here is April 2023. Any update, please share with us. It seems they have been on April for the longest time. |
Re: General German Work And Family Re-union Visa Enquiries by Didibk: 4:52pm On Feb 10 |
The email stated "up to date A1 certificate". I was also given a deadline to submit a fresh one. The next exam for A1 on the Goethe website is next month. MedBose:
Share via email the one you submitted during the interview. At the same time, be preparing to write another one soon.
All the best! 1 Like |

Nov 20th 2021-- Booked appointment
Nov 8th 2022 --Goethe A1 exam
Jan 5th 2023. -- Interview
Silence for 8 months despite series of calls and emails from me, my spouse and our immigrations lawyer in Germany searching for my lawyer for verification.

Jan 22nd 2024 --We called ABH and they said they sent a request to the German embassy in Nigeria and that they were waiting for their (German embassy Lagos)response.(I didn't know what the request was about.)
Feb 6th 2024 -- We e-mailed the German embassy Lagos requesting for an update but we were warned to refrain from further enquires regarding the status of the matter. At this point I was defeated and frustrated.
Feb 10th 2024-- We emailed the Burger meister's office of my spouse' city because at this point we were frustrated. We were advised to be patient that the process was ongoing. My lawyer kept sending emails to the embassy and ABH yet there was no response.
Apr 25th 2024 -- We e-mailed the ABH requesting for status update and the ABH responded that they were still waiting for the response from the embassy as regards the request they(ABH) sent to the German embassy in Nigeria. My lawyer requested to know what the request was but they never disclosed it.
July 3rd 2024 -- The embassy decided to wake up from its slumber by inviting my spouse and I for a second interview. ( The was the REQUEST the ABH sent to them since January 2024 but there was a delay in contacting me and arranging for the interview because according to them(embassy) ,they misplaced my file . Our interviews was place at the time. Mine at the embassy in Lagos,his in his city.

Aug 21st 2024 -- Embassy responded saying that they appreciate my patience during the process and that they know waiting for my visa decision can be stressful but that I should be rest assured that my visa application is still under review and I will be notified immediately once a decision has been made.

Aug 27th 2024 -- I emailed them , telling them that they were with my international passport which I submitted to them during the second interview and that I ll be needing the passport to sit for the next A1 exam which was scheduled for Sept 27th 2024. I also told them to please extend the deadline because it will take about a month before the Goethe A1 certificate will be ready, which will go against the deadline. To this they agreed and gave me another deadline of November 15th 2024.

Omo the stress and frustration was premium. Words fail me on how to quantify my frustration during that time. I never knew waiting was so hard not until my encounter with the embassy. With the German embassy ,no two situations or processes are the same. Never use another person's own process to compare yours. My own process lasted over 2yrs and 11 months. It was 9 days short 3 years. (Nov 20th 2021- Nov 11th 2024) . Typing this was hard but I had to make e no be like say I dey hide update. Wishing you all the best in this journey. Peace.βοΈ

Didibk: Please what type of insurance is incoming and where did you get it from? It's a health insurance that covers long term stay. The normal AXA Mansard travel insurance of less than 30k doesn't cover long stay. I wasted my time and money buying travel insurance from AXA mansard only for it to be rejected due to lack of information. You know what? Some people come on here and say they bought travel insurance(instead of saying incoming insurance)just to deceive people so that other people too can make the same mistake and waste money like I did. It is bought online from any internationally recognised insurance company in Germany. Your spouse buys it. Mine was from Allianz insurance. I didn't get this information firsthand. After the AXA mansard travel insurance was rejected by the embassy, the embassy sent me an email the next day describing what an incoming insurance was. AXA mansard never refunds an insurance bought in error. Na so my money take loss. I no see who give me right information. But I remember vividly asking someone on this thread about insurance, the person recommended AXA mansard for me , that that was what he used.Na so I take waka loss go waste money.

God bless you for this info. Our people can be funny when it comes to giving accurate information. That crabs in a bucket thing is real. I also recall seeing 2 or 3 people who recommended AXA Mansard 3 months travel insurance in older posts. AXA Mansard won't refund you o. Something similar happened to me last year and I sent them an email explaining that I made a mistake but I was never refunded. They didn't even respond to my email. FrauPosh:

I beg to differ. Many people have used AXA Mansard and gotten their visas approved. I do not think anyone intentionally tried to trick you or Frau Posh. The AXAmansard insurance is usually for 90 days at least. It is also possible the embassy is not consistent depending on the specific consular officer dealing with your case. It is also possible for your spouse in Germany to include his family members and/or spouse to his health insurance at no additional cost, (I think it is called non contributory dependants insurance). I find it hard to believe that people sharing their experiences here have the intention to cause harm. No one Germany visa journey is the same for everyone. 2 Likes |

Didibk: The email stated "up to date A1 certificate". I was also given a deadline to submit a fresh one. The next exam for A1 on the Goethe website is next month. Any update from them about the old A1 certificate or theyβre still insisting on you bringing a fresh one? |
