• 11th January 2024: Submits passport and travel insurance to embassy.
• 15th January 2024: Passport with visa received via courier service.

Here are my tips for those currently at the brink of applying:

1. For spouses living in Germany, you can expedite the process by applying for "Nachbeurkundung" at your local Standesamt and submitting the required documents for verification. They have the capacity to kick-start the verification in parallel. This can be done while your spouse in Nigeria awaits the appointment date for the visa application submission.

2. The timing of attending the A1 German language course at Goethe Institute is crucial. It's advisable to aim for complet-ing the A1 certificate a few weeks after you submit your visa application at the embassy.

Good luck to you all!

Please I need help. I am doing pass for my child. My child was verified during family reunion verification. We went for appointment in Dec, I was told that I would go back the second time for notarization (still waiting for the appointment). Please I want to ask, when I go for the notarization appointment, will everything be done that day or will there be another visit to embassy again? Please I need help on this German pass process. Thanks

1. Your dad or mum has to go to the court to swear the Affidavit of Spinsterhood. Has to be done by either of your parents and at the court, stating that you were not married to anyone before you got married to your spouse.

2. I sincerely have no idea how to go about this, the letter has to be written by your spouse in Germany but since he isn't the child's father, I am not sure how to go about it..
.. I hope others can help with this

3. This also has to also be sworn at the court declaring your age and when you were born, it has to also be done by either of your parents.

Hi everyone. Please are children also required to pay verification fee or just the visa fee?

Festaco:
Please has anyone been asked to make application for Sponsorship letter in connection with Family reunification visa? In our case, the ABH contacted me last week to submit the needed documents and a form for sponsorship letter to be properly filled up. It is a bit confusing as I have never heard about getting a sponsorship letter for family re-union purposes.

Please let me know if anyone passed through this procedure.

Mopricelezz:
Hello Mr Festaco, what kind of permit are you on? Is it skilled worker permit? Also how were you able to sort the sponsorship letter thing?

Didibk:
Hello. Please what documents for the child needs to be notarized?

Festaco:



Hi Mopricelezz,
I have an EU blue card. The ABH sent me a letter which listed the documents to submit as well as the form to be filled while applying for Sponsorship. I filled it up and submitted it together with other requested documents. After a while,I got an email that my financial status was ok to take care of my family, that I should book appointment to come and pick up the sponsorship letter.
That's my current status now....hope this helps.

Best wishes

Pls what affordable travel insurance can I get easily online with three months coverage?

Purplelemon:
Hello please what's the difference between the pre-approval and the Erklärung zum Beschäftigungsverhältnis for the Skilled worker visa for the Ausbildung path and how are the two gotten. Is it the employer that applies and what documents do they usually need from the employee. I'm confused about this.

Annie2059:


The employer will fill the Erklärung Form.. it gives details about your job, salary, contact of the employer etc Your employer may also apply for the pre-approval to fast track your visa but you can ask them if they can do that for you cause not all employers do that for their employees.. they will require your passport for that

Hello everyone, good day, the last time I posted on this platform, I was waiting for my German student Visa, after almost 2years of waiting I am now residing here in Germany. God has been good, it's not been easy but it's super worth it.

So now I am trying to bring my husband and my son to Germany as a student, we have almost gotten everything ready except for getting an apartment. But I still have some questions especially as to the financial proof for my family. When I wrote the consulate in Nigeria asking about the funds for my family I was informed that the sum for both of them will be €8400 for both of them.

So please my questions are to other students who have gone through the family reunion process;
1. Will I need to open another blocked account in my Partners Name or I can use mine?
2. Will I also need to complete my own Blocked Account for 1year as well to submit to the consulate when submitting my documents i.e (€11,200 + €8,400) making it [€19,600][/b]?
because I'm sincerely confused, as I have only been able to raise the funds for only them and I don't have mine just yet.


Please help a sister, Biko.

nwigwemark:


thank you so much, I actually have a student job with the Deutsch post and I am planning on doing my extension in March or April as it would have less than 6months validity by then.
Thank you for your response you have relived my mind from so much financial stress. I'm super grateful.


Congratulations on your student visa after a long wait.

You have to open a block account in your husband's name and block the required amount in there.

If you have no need for extension of your residence permit, there will not be a need to block for yourself.

My advice for you is to get a student job. When your landratsamt contacts you, they will ask you for evidence of income or block account. Give them your work contract and ask them how much more money you need to block for your husband and baby.

With this they will calculate and tell you the amount to block which will be very small to what ever you were imagining.

I wish you good luck

Hello everyone,
Please house, I have a question. I request your kind response. Constructive criticism is fine but no insult pls. My marriage has been scheduled to hold in July with my GAAYY partner in Germany. I know I can't go around talking about this so I don't get arrested or jailed according to the Nigerian SSMPA (Same Sex Marriage Prohibition Act) enacted in 2014. I know its crazy to do this but that's what's up for now. My fiancé is a full blooded GERMAN CITIZEN with good job, has a house and all.. we are super cool with each other so well.

My question is this..
My VISA appointment is in a few weeks time, will I also pay for verification of documents after all has been verified already by the Marriage Registry in Germany and approved with our wedding date fixed?

2. What is my chance for GERMAN A1 to be waived cos I really wish to leave as soon as I can cos of the threat I get due to the fact that I'm gaaayy.. I can study the language when I get to German but for now my fiancé wants me to come over as soon as possible. All documents have been translated to German, I am all good to go except language proficiency cert.

3. What documents are my expected to come along with?

4. Does anyone have an idea of the exact amount the visa cost now since $1 is now about N1,600 now.

5. Anyone who has gone through this route should pls send me an email so we can discuss better pls..

Thank you all.
Pls no insult...

E get y.
