Please I need your input on this. Who can tell me the meaning of this. What could be the issue:

“The above-mentioned application to issue a visa for the purpose of family reunification, more precisely spousal reunification with your German spouse, is rejected for the following reasons:
Despite repeated requests and over a period of three years, we have not yet received the required response from the Munich immigration authorities involved in accordance with Section 31 Paragraph 1 Sentence. 1 No. 1
Residence Act received. The application must therefore be rejected.
The remaining grant requirements have not been finalized. Your original documents submitted to the Consulate General Lagos will be returned to you enclosed with this letter.”

MrKcc:
Please I'll like the WhatsApp and telegram link as well

Your spouse is German and so it's very likely nothing was requested of him. Did you and your spouse contact Lawyer?

Didibk:
It seems the office in Munich has not submitted the documents to the German embassy in Nigeria. Did your spouse submit all the documents that was required of him/her?

Portex:
This is not me. It’s for my aunt. They haven’t contacted any lawyer yet

Section 31
Independent right of residence for spouses

(1) If marital cohabitation ends, the spouse’s temporary residence permit is extended by one year as an independent right of residence unrelated to the purpose of the subsequent immigration of dependants if

1. marital cohabitation has lawfully existed in the federal territory for at least three years or

2. the foreigner has died during marital cohabitation in the federal territory

and the foreigner possessed a temporary residence permit, permanent settlement permit or EU long-term residence permit up to that time, unless the foreigner was unable to apply for an extension in time for reasons beyond his or her control. Sentence 1 does not apply if the foreigner’s temporary residence permit may not be extended or if the foreigner may not be granted a temporary residence permit or EU long-term residence permit because this is precluded by a rule of law on account of the purpose of residence or by an ancillary provision attaching to the temporary residence permit pursuant to section 8 (2).

(2) The requirement stipulated in subsection (1) sentence 1 no. 1 for marital cohabitation to have existed lawfully for three years in the federal territory is to be waived if necessary to enable the spouse to continue his or her residence in order to avoid particular hardship, unless an extension of the foreigner’s temporary residence permit is not permitted. Particular hardship is deemed to apply especially if the marriage is not valid or has been suspended under German law because the spouse was a minor when he or she married, if the obligation to return to the country of origin resulting from the termination of marital cohabitation threatens to substantially harm the foreigner’s legitimate interests, or if continuing marital cohabitation is unreasonable due to the harm to the foreigner’s legitimate interests; in particular this is to be assumed if the spouse is the victim of domestic violence. Such legitimate interests also include the well-being of a child living with the spouse as part of a family unit. In order to avoid abuse, extension of the temporary residence permit may be denied if the spouse relies on benefits under Book Two or Book Twelve of the Social Code for reasons for which he or she is responsible.

(3) In derogation from section 9 (2) sentence 1 nos. 3, 5 and 6 the spouse is also to be granted a permanent settlement permit if the spouse’s subsistence is ensured after the termination of marital cohabitation by maintenance payments from the foreigner’s own funds and the foreigner possesses a permanent settlement permit or an EU long-term residence permit.

(4) Without prejudice to subsection (2) sentence 4, claiming benefits under Book Two or Book Twelve of the Social Code does not preclude extension of the temporary residence permit. The temporary residence permit may thus be extended as long as the conditions for granting the permanent settlement permit or EU long-term residence permit have not been met.

Section 32
Subsequent immigration of children

Portex:
Thanks so much for your effort and input.
I do not know what this means but how come the kids got their visas, if their father’s residency permit or whatever is in question?
