Hi everyone,

I’ve been reading up on the thread and I see that there is a 1 year plus wait time for visa appointment.

Does this long wait apply for reunion visa or blue card or for both?

I’m looking to apply for a blue card. On the german website, it looks like it’s possible to apply online. Is this the case or not?

Lol... whether blue card, Temporary residence or PR (I think even German passport) you go still wait above a year like everyone else. Except miracle happen

Hi, am looking to apply for someone. Why the long wait? I heard lots of things hit nothing concrete. People are also saying the 1 year plus waiting is not true. So was any concrete reason given for the wait

Yes, the wait is true
Reasons:

1) too many people applying at the same time. due to Nigeria population, this number is quite high.

2) the German embassy just want it that way. They probably don't want people from only one country to populate their country.

3) I don't know. Everything is assumptions and probably answers

If you are applying for a Blue Card work visa the wait time is not as long. You will need to apply online via the Auslands Portal: https://digital.diplo.de/ Complete the form and upload all the necessary documents, the embassy will check your documents for completeness and then invite you to book a date via the portal.

If you are applying for Family Reunion then there's a long wait. I hope this helps

Hello everyone,

The thread is so quiet. Has everyone gotten an appointment date or fed up ? The last appointment date that was reported here was January 15th.

Have nice day

We have not heard from the person who applied on 31st January 2023.
Does that mean they are not done with January yet 😢

My wife and our children had their interviews on the 9th of July 2024. The last email I received from the consulate informed us that the visas are in processing. Is there anyone whose family members had his/her interviews on similar days? May I know what’s going on from other people?

Maybe because they are more than one person. Give them a little bit of time. They will respond.

Hi there. I was the one who booked on January 31. I got my email today. Interview is next month. Finally!

Thanks a lot

Meanwhile my Husband and kids are German citizens
Of which the ABH said they don't have my visa application with them . I would like to know if the ABH do reach out to spouse's and parents of German citizens or is it the consulate that will approve it because of their statu

Hello everyone. For those who have been interviewed, does the embassy lawyer visit all the family members and friends listed on your form or they just put a call across to them? Or the only places they physically go to are the schools and hospitals listed on your forms?

Hi, May is really far. Have you heard from them as of now? If not, you can write the embassy

Hello everyone, please I know this group is for work and family reunion visa but I have a question about Schengen visa. What questions are asked during this interview, if a parent is visiting for the first on grounds of having a new grand baby?

Hi guys. For those who have attended their interview as a family or with a parent with kids, do you need a separate courier envelope for each applicant or one envelope is enough as a family?

One is sufficient.

Ok. Thanks.
Please have you gone for your interview and did you apply with other family members? I just want to be double sure 🤦‍♀️

comey2020:


One is sufficient.

Please I'm still hoping someone can answer this question.

FrauPosh:


I ll say just try and be patient. My lawyer visited in October 2023 that was 10 months after my interview in January 2023 up till this moment I haven't received verification complete email. 8 months after lawyer verification I still haven't received verification complete email. July will make it 9 months. So you see say your own even good. I have sent millions of emails to no avail. My patience has run out since. Na sit down dey look I dey now. Waiting is so hard but we will all get there.

Amen have you received your verification completed email?

Hi everyone,

Regarding the application for blue card, how does one go about sending transcript from one’s university to the embassy?

How possible is it to request for the transcript to be dispatched to the embassy before the interview date?

Or would be possible to share your login details to the diplo portal for the uni to upload it directly? My university has this option but the portal has 2fa verification on login so it wouldn’t be possible for them to upload it this way without the verification code.

KenGreat1:
Amen have you received your verification completed email?

No I haven't. Have you received yours?

Didibk:
Please I'm still hoping someone can answer this question.

The lawyer that visited me didn't visit any of my siblings. He said seeing my mum and dad and one friend was sufficient. He only visited one friend .

I registered for an Appointment on March 30, 2023. Still havent gotten an Date yet.. i heard the Febuary people have started getting their Appointments. That means this week ending or next week will be for the March people i guess.

To those who applied in 2022, and went for their appointment this year, how long did it take from the visa interview till you got your visa?

Please also include if there was document verification or not.

They start giving Feb 2023 applicants from mid August.
Since you applied at the end of March, you will be expecting appointment from the middle of October.
