IAD2020:
I and my daughter applied using the Skilled Immigration act visa category. We went with the family reunion documents and also with the preapproval and power of attorney document, my husband's office got these documents for us. We had no issue at the embassy, though we are still awaiting visa approval.

adeinfinit:


Hello, has your visa been approved? and if yes, how long did it take please?

IAD2020:
No, visa hasn't been approved yet

adeinfinit:


Have you tried reaching out to the embassy? I thought application with the pre-approval has a 3 weeks timeline for visa approval

Ahmed4002:


Drop your questions here. I can answer it

Hi everyone,

Myself and family applied for long term visa and family reunion respectively, and I have pre-approval. We already did interviews and haven't received feedback till now after 3 weeks as per the immigration act.

1. Please how long should myself and spouse wait expect to receive update on our application?
2. And when we do get the request for passports and travel insurance, can we courier the documents to the embassy in Lagos since we reside outside lagos. I don't think we can all travel back to Lagos again to submit the documents.

Ahmed4002:


Your spouse need to apply for an appointment via the German Konsulate webpage in Nigeria using her passport details and that of your son.
Waiting is about 1 year.

You would get notifications when the appointment is ready.

Visa fee of about 36,000 Naira for your wife
Son is about 17,000 Naira.
Document verification is 150,000 Naira

Your wife would need to have A1 German language certificate (This is excepted if she holds a Bachelor degree or Msc). but in any case encourage her to take the A1 classes and exams.

Chancing of getting the visa is honestly is bit slim due to the fact there is a son involved, except you are on scholarship e.g DAAD

but then apply and try your luck, some protocols are broken with Gods grace.


Also depending on your city, they might want you to open block account for your wife and son.

And some immigration officer would want to see a Work contract (permanent) even though you are a student.

It's bit crazy the journey of the family reunion, just be steadfast and be strong.

You would need a minimum square meter of apartment for yourself and the family at least 45 sqm.

You don't need to rent the apartment right now.

I wish you all the best man, during this waiting period keep applying for jobs related to your field in order to get a work visa or Eu blue card.
With the new immigration law, you don't need to complete your education, if you got a job offer related to your field, you can file for the work visa or Eu blue card
Thanks for the reply.
What of if I could get a work contract that is permanent, will the chances be a bit higher

Sunjava:
Hello everyone, please how long does it take get reply from the Germany consulate after an interview for blue card visa with family member?

adeinfinit:


When was ur interview date?

Sunjava:

23rd December 2022

adeinfinit:



Did you use a pre-approval?
I know someone that went for interview on the same day as you and was a sent a mail yesterday. I went on 16th December with my wife and we are also still waiting. My guess is it takes longer if you apply with your family.

Sunjava:
I guess so cause I have someone who we both went for interview same date to but his is skilled immigration visa, he got reply yesterday. And yes I have pre-approval, please drop email so That we can connect

Softy1407:
I also went for my interview on 29th November(Family reunion) nothing yet...

Ahmed4002:



Make Sure the bachelor hood affidavit is registered in the court which your dad get it for you and a record can be found in their register.

To apply for the marriage in south Africa, you need to ask some few questions yourself.

example do you hold a residence permit there? or it's a tourist visa.

Are you allowed to apply for a family reunion in German embassy located in SA?

This your procedure might seems really complicated in both ways.

Sending your documents for her to apply for marriage without your presence, some photos and celebration (some VO would assume this is arrangee marriage).

If it's done in SA, then it might take time for the verification processes since two countries are involved. The embassy would need to verify the marriage documents in SA, and also your education documents, family members in Nigeria.

For my candid advice for you, try to process admission may be Msc Programme and move there.

Wunme:

Same here. Did all your documents check out at the interview or were you required to provide additional documents?

Softy1407:


I was required to provide only one document which I did within that same week of the interview.

Ugoaus:
Happy New year all. Please I need help/ answer.
I applied for family reunion visa, my appointment/submittion of documents was on the 15/3/2022. Verification completed but was asked to bring another document which I submitted 14/7/2022. My spouse has also been contacted and submitted all necessary documents there in Germany since September 2022. This is Jan.2023, I have not gotten any mail or response from the embassy concerning the status of my visa application. Have sent an email but no response. Please is it normal?
How long does it take?
Thank you

Softy1407:
