MintyChoccochip:
Good afternoon everyone, I want to post my mom's family reunion interview transcript because reading from the experiences of others helped us prepare for ours.

Booked appointment: 21/10/2021
Appointment mail: 15/11/2022
Appointment date: 15/12/2022

We got there around 5am, immediately we were accosted by these canvassers saying we'd need to get a pass before queuing at the German embassy and they'll need to check her documents and everything. We already knew this was all a bid to make money but we were confident that our documents were complete so we let them perform the drama they wanted to.

After they realized there was no money to be made, they waved us away without the so called pass. Please remember to bring everything on the checklist and make your photocopies complete unless you want to be a money horse for those canvassers.

At the embassy we were told by the security to hang around till it was 6:30am since her appointment was by 7am. But by 6am, another security arrived and told everyone around to arrange themselves on a line and those without appointment to leave to the park. It was at this point I had to leave my mom and sister to their fate. I warned them about Oga Paulinus and was like whatever he says or shouts, remember to stay calm.

I waited till 12pm at the car park and witnessed a lot of people being taken advantage of because they were not fully prepared. When they finally came out, she told me about their experience. My sister wasn't asked any questions. Oga Paulinus of course flexed muscle a bit when she wasn't fast enough arranging the documents as he asked but she said he wasn't as bad as she expected.

The questions she was asked was similar to the questions on page 130 and she was asked about me since I wasn't a part of the interview. She was asked to bring a new affidavit of spinsterhood and a better proof of residence of her spouse and that was it. Now we await the lawyer for verification.

klodgirl:
Good morning all,
Please what does the highlighted sentence mean.
Thanks

VERASONDUBABE:
Please what happened to the one (affidavit of spinsterhood) she submitted?

MintyChoccochip:
It wasn't given by a head of family

Blessings777:
Please share your timeline. How long did it take to get the visa from your interview date? I assume it is the family reunion visa.

GraceIsaac09:
Hi all, please has anyone that completed family reunion interview in October been contacted by a lawyer for verification?
It's 2 months today since my interview...after waiting 14 months for the interview appointment.

Adegbeanna:

Has a lawyer finally come for your verification?
I remember reading a post from you that they came for your friend...

VERASONDUBABE:
Wawoooh! please do you live in Lagos or a close by state? I think distance determines how fast the verification will be.

Adegbeanna:
No I don't live in lagos

Pls nairaland I need help ooo, my questions has not been answer...
I have a job offer sometime around September this year, I applied for work visa on 31 August this year and I have been waiting patently for appointment email until I come across fast track processing..
My employer send me some of of agreed documents which contains work contact, rent agreement and A pre approval document from Bundesagentur fur arbeit, (ZAV). I am confused because I don't know (base on the time factor on it) waiting for 1 years plus for an appointment or Can I use (rebook)this pre approval for skill work visa which has 6 weeks or I wait for 1 year for my appointment at the embassy.
Under skill work visa I was thinking if the pre approval is what the meant then I qualify for for skilled work visa ..
Please I God to beg the gurus in the house to come to my help....I am very confused at the moment...

Merry Christmas,

I would like to know if all returned documents should be resubmitted when submitting letter of remonstration at the German embassy in Lagos or is the letter and say confirmation of block account enough? Spouse got rejection letter days ago thanks

Ahmed4002:


You don't need to submit the original documents again.

Except additional documents that were not there at first.

What was the basis for the rejection?

NameNotBlank:


Thanks for your reply. Reason for rejection is “a means sustenance can not be guaranteed at this moment”. Whatever that means, i wonder how they reached that conclusion without contacting me. However, I have blocked an account and ready to appeal. Lastly, is email submission enough? Or does one need to send hard copies via DHL ? Thanks

I did an interview and submitted documents for an EU blue card on Nov 11th, 2022 but yet to get an email.
What can I do?

Biggybee:


This is sad.

As at January when I updated about mine. A couple of people that mailed me privately tried it and they got dates on time and visas too.

I hate to say it but its not only a Nigerian thing, some other countries are affected too. Foreign offices are clogged especially with the Ukraine thing...

Plus, I think they really consider where you work or what body you are under.

In all, just try.. You never can tell.
