Hello,
I've been trying to get a date for like 4 nights now, I keep checking and refreshing the booking page from 11pm to midnight for 4 nights now, but all to no avail. Does anyone have any suggestion what else I should do? Thanks in advance for your response

Dear Nairalanders, my wife got to Germany on 25th December 2023.

Below is how the process went for us:

28th June, 2022 - Applied online for an appointment

25th August 2023 - We got an email from the embassy, informing us of her Visa appointment.

19th September 2023 - Family Reunion Visa Appointment

13th October 2023 - I got an email from the Immigration office in Germany to submit my documents

30th November, 2023 - I submitted all the documents

1st December 2023 - Got an update from the Immigration office that their response has been sent to the embassy in Nigeria

4th December: She got the Approval mail and was asked to send her passport and travel insurance

5th December 2023 - She sent her passport and travel insurance

13th December 2023 - Got her passport back.

24th December 2023 - She left Nigeria and arrived Germany on the 25th.

We paid for verification, but none was done, and we're yet to get a refund. I got my Blue Card after her appointment but before I submitted all my documents. For those still waiting for theirs, I hope everything go well for you.

Happy new year 🙂

Optimisticprim:

Had my interview since February, nothing yet ... Called this morning, the lady on the call didn't even allow me to talk. She just cut me short, saying the consulate will contact me if they have anything for me. They need to work on their call center representative, especially the ladies. The males are friendly and attentive.

It's so sad...

Hyaaa! Has the ABH asked your spouse to submit their documents?

Hello,
Has anyone who booked for appointment after June 20th, 2022 gotten a date?

Alexonatunji:

Hi, I don't have a Lawyer. I only asked a question

Thanks

UCEKE:
Good evening,

Below is my update.

I applied to the Family reunification visa in Nov, 2021.

I received Appointment mail in Dec 2022

Had my interview on the 11th of Jan, 2023.

During the interview I was asked to pay for verification(150,000), which i paid.

I didn’t receive any message from the Embassy but in March 2023, KVR sent a message via post to my spouse requesting for some documents which include 12months house contract, Work permit, payslip, some documents from my spouse place of work and legalized marriage certificate.

We submitted the document on the 15th of March, 2023 and we didn’t hear anything from both KVR and the embassy.

In June 2023, KVR sent a mail to my spouse stating that we are yet to submit the document they requested for and asked us to send it via mail even though we had previously sent it via post but they couldn’t find it.

On the 25th of June, 2023, we sent all the documents via mail and we didn’t hear from them.

I called the embassy to follow up the issue and they told my the i should wait for my lawyer that they assigned a lawyer to me while my spouse kept calling KVR but we couldn’t reach them.

In July 2023 we received another from KVR stating that the legalized marriage certificate we sent was not what they wanted and we should send a legalized marriage certificate.

We became confused because we had our marriage at the federal registry. So because of the request they sent in March, 2023, I took the color photocopy of our marriage certificate to Ministry of Foreign Affairs to legalize it and also took it to a notary public lawyer to notarize it and I then sent it to my spouse but KVR rejected it.

When we received their mail in July 2023, the requested we send the legalized document according to German standard before 1st of August or our Visa will be rejected.

I called and sent a mail to the German embassy in Nigeria and the respond stating that I should tell the KVR that such condition is not applicable to us and that I have paid for verification fee but because we didn’t want to take chances, we contacted an immigration lawyer.

So in July 2023, we reached out to an immigration lawyer and narrated our issue after paying him. We shared all the documents we submitted and also the mail response I received from the Embassy. So he sent a power of Attorney for me to sign and he took over the matter. He contacted KVR and the Embassy in Nigeria. But before then we had already sent the mail from the embassy to KVR with our August house rent.

Note: During this period my language certificate have expired and I had to rewrite in July in case they request for it because I was told during the interview that if it expires, that I will need a valid one before they will stamp my visa. So I had to rewrite it and I passed.

Also, because they KVR insisted that the house contract must be a 12month contract, we had to rent another house to take care of that.

On the 3rd of August, 2023, I received requesting for my spouse resident permit and my lawyer was copied.

I respond on the 4th of August 2023 to their request.

On the 8th of August, I received a mail requesting for my passport, insurance and travel date. Then they also stated that I should come and collect the 150,000 that I paid. Note: my spouse if not a Daad scholar neither did we submit a blue card. They also copied my lawyer.

My lawyer sent a mail to the embassy on the 9th of August, 2023 stating that am not in Lagos and it will be expensive for me to come and collect the 150,000 and demanded that a third party should collect it. Then he attached a power of attorney which the third party will come with to collect the money. The embassy replied and agreed for a third party to come and pick the money upon presentation of an ID with the letter.

I submitted it to DHL of the 9th of August, 2023 and it was delivered to them on the 10th of August, 2023.

On the 15th of August 2023, my cousin went and collected the money on my behalf after presenting the power of Attorney and his ID.

On the 16th of August 2023 by 4:30pm, I received a call from Fedex that I have a package from the German Embassy and it was delivered to my door step.

This is a summery of my Journey.

It was not an easy Journey but am glad it is over.

All road lead to Munich

Thanks alot for sharing your story 🙂. I'm encouraged.
A question please, does the immigration Lawyer stay in Germany or Nigeria?

Okay. Thanks.
Buh dyu know how it went with them? Does anyone here fall under that category of persons?

Hello Nairalanders!

I just got an acceptance letter for a masters program in University of Siena. Please I'm so lost about the next step? How do I go about the visa process? Haven't been able to get any clear and useful information

Hey guys! Any news?!

Call for interview

EazyFrenzy:
Got a call from HR yesterday... who also did?

I did to. Where's ur venue?

aLoHaNNNNN:
I still haven't received mine o. Am I alone in this?

Not at all. I'm with u

Waow! When? What tym?

honourableseyi:




The chance of getting an interview date with it is very very slim or none at all. Even if you were able to secure a date with it, you can not use it for the interview; if you do, it is really OYO. Just wait for the admission letter and apply as soon as you have it. Cottbus alien office is very fast with visa decision as far as last winter is concerned. Shalom

OK, thanks

MaroCruz:


Since it is stated that admission is valid for 18 months, confirm from the school your enrollment date for winter semester so you can attach the info with your visa application, you might even push your luck further by requesting a new admission letter.

Thanks

olig:


Write them and notify them. They will issue another admission letter. Just request for it

Thanks

Hello Nairalanders!
I was given admission into TU Freiberg sometime in November, buh had issues with my SL so my Visa didn't pull through. On my admission letter, its stated that the letter is valid for 18months, buh the enrollment date on it is 1st march to 12th april. Can I still try processing the visa with this admission letter? As the SL issue has been rectified

Pls how do I go about registering as a graduate member of NSE. Haven't difficulties registering on the site, plus don't know what's next after that
