The matter of this German Visa is just not for the fainted heart, it would break you , but don't give up.

1. May 2019. Applied for the family reunion, at the time waiting period was like 9 months. for me it was still long

2. Then Applied for Schengen visa in December 2019, I block about 3K Euro for my spouse, The fee would be used in deporting her in case , she overstay the 90 days.
The documents is very strong even though I had another support letter from DAAD (with monthly stipends she's entitled when she arrived)

Same December 2019, she did the interview for the Schengen visa and it was rejected (Reason: There were not sure we would return back home)

3. Same December 2019, I Appeal for the decision, attaching landed properties, Joint family account, work contract from Nigeria with bond, still rejected

4. Same December 2019, i was frustrated and went to the Ausländer Behörde, they said. It's Lagos decision not theirs and they calm me down and ask me to go home and see my family, they would write to Lagos to give us the family reunion date

5. January 2020, Appointment for the earlier Family Reunion enter and slated for March 2020

6. February 2020, DAAD bought a ticket for me to go see my family and I would use the opportunity to return with her after the family reunion Visa.

7. March 2020, Corona started and the Visa appointment was cancelled and we would be contacted, i remain in Nigeria for about 7 months with my family.

8. May 2020 we welcome our Princess.

9. We kept waiting for new appointment, but there is none for over 2 years.
I didn't called or emailed. That was the greatest mistake, if the embassy are dead silence, send them email upon email.

10. August 2022, i got tired and send them email almost every week, explaining my cancel appointment during the covid 19 lockdown.

11. September 2022, we got appointment for my spouse, she went for the interview; unfortunately my daughter was not booked, until October 2022.

12. September 2022, i got a call from ABH, unfortunately they can't issue a Visa to my spouse because of the call of residence permit I was holding. I hold the Job seeker post study visa, i explained to the officer, i do have a professional job and she request for my work contract immediately and payslip for the past 3 months

23. ABH invite my next day to come over and change my Visa status and I was issue a fiction immediately and my wife visa was approval was put unhold, when she was we had a little princess and her application was not capture. ABH said we can't leave a minor at home, we should apply for her Visa

24. October 2022, my little one had her Visa interview and the ABH received it, then my spouse visa was approved

25. November, Email for Lagos, we should submit A1. The same day, i enroll my spouse for intensive Language classes via online (4 weeks)

26. December 2022, she Ace the A1 Language Exam and we forward it to ABH, and Lagos

27. December 2022, Lawyer came. All documents check, no discrepancies or what so ever. but guy man requesting for token , let him speed the report, even though I paid for his Hotels and feeding for two days and movements during the verification process.

I wonder the kind of some hungry lawyers Wey the embassy dey take to work for them.
Just pray to have someone Wey be professional

28. January 2023. Silence
29. February 2023 . Silence
30. February 2023. I was in Nigeria for the general elections and hoping we get the visa and return together
31. March 2023, i return back to DE
32. March 2023, Two weeks later after my return to DE, we got an email from Lagos, that verification is complete.
33. March 2023, After the email, got a call from ABH, to confirm if am still working in my company, if yes, send 3 months payslip. I did immediately

34. March 2023, got an email to send passport and travel date, health insurance.

35. Bought Travel health insurance from AXA mansard for my spouse and little about 32K.

36. I activated, the tracking information of my Return courier envelope and boom, April 10th the package was pick for on ward delivery.

37. 3 days after , package was in same location of DHL, we went to DHL office and complain. The dispatch officer was called and we met at a shopping mall to collect it.
