Have you done ZAB? I am in Germany currently came with work visa.

I don’t think I need to do this if my university and degree is recognized by the Anabin database.

Please correct me if I’m wrong.

MedBose:



Why not get the original copy of this certificate from WAEC? It would be good to have this for both the interview and the future. Since you asked, I’d advise you get the original hard copy certificate, especially as I do not see why WAEC wouldn’t give you if you have not collected it already.

The stress in notarising the print out is almost the same as requesting for your original WAEC certificate. Unless the digital certificate has same value as the hard copy? Which if this was the case, you would not need to stress about notarization.

On another note, why are you about to schedule an appointment?? Please schedule your appointment first then ask any questions later.

I eventually went to my secondary school to get it. Thanks!

You might need this if your profession is a “regulated profession” and if you have internationally recognized professional certificates e.g: ACCA, SHRH etc.

Hi Boss, can I inbox you?

Please for those who have attended appointment for reunion with minors, did you go there with your kids. Are minors below the age of 6 required to be physically present at the interview?

Yes, they are required to come. My wife went with our 2 months old son then. That was December, 2022.

Hello. Was it required to get the baby a passport for the interview? What other document was required for the baby?

Yes, the passport is what you need to book for the interview. After the booking, you write the embassy to merge the documents with that of the parent. The embassy usually immediately gives appointment date to kids depending on the case.

You have to provide all documents in the check list for children. This can be found on the embassy website.

Finally, I think you should be straight in your question so we can answer you completely in one swoop.

Cheers

March 13th don get appointment date

Thank you for this information. We need these infos for Encouragement😀

Hello everyone. After about four months since my family had their interviews in Lagos, my wife was now asked to submit an affidavit of bachelorhood from me. Since I am not in Nigeria right now and no such affidavit has been made. Can anyone advise me on how to proceed?

Many thanks for your contributions.

Good evening every one, here is my anabin printout. As you can see for my degree (Electrical & Electronic), my university FUTO is not under the "awarding institutions" of my degree. Will embassy accept that I am a skilled worked? Or must my university also be under my degree

Hi
I think your parents can do that for you or anyone related to you can go the LG council of your town and request for it in place of your parents.

I would also want to know if your wife require verification? Also, have the ABH contacted you; if yes how long did it take?

It has been two months now since my wife’s interview. I have not received any letter from ABH. We do not need verification since I am a researcher. The ABH told me that they have not heard from Lagos consulate. I wonder why it is taking so long.

I think you can get it done at a local court in Nigeria by your Parent living in Nigeria. Just try an get in contact with a Court in Nigeria and they will guide you.

Hello Everyone! Please would there be an issue at if the Spouses still have different Last names; my Wifes‘s Last name hasnt been changed on the passport because it will alter the passport number and invariably delay the appointment.
Has anyone had any issue relating to this?
Thank you in advance!

Firstly, no issues if both of you have different last names. Some people do not bother changing last names.

Also, you can actually proceed with the change of last name on the passport while waiting for embassy appointments. Just make sure it comes out before the interview date. Then you can go with both the old and new passports to the embassy. Remember, some people have to renew their passport due to expiration while waiting for the embassy.

Lastly, I would advice, if you intend that she changes her name later, that she does it now. The bureaucracy and cost of doing it in Germany is alot. Otherwise, she can also continue with her maiden name if you do not mind.

This looks okay, as far as the title of your degree is on Anabin, with the comment that it is equivalent to a German degree. Also your institution is graded H+, you’re good to go.

I’m curious about your job; will you be working as an engineer? There is the possibility that this falls under “regulated professions”. Please research on this, I’m not sure. If this is the case then you need the ZAB evaluation. If this is not your case, then I think the screenshots you shared are okay and the degree being awarded does not have to be directly from your university.

Please is it possible to file an appeal in Berlin court? If yes,
1. how can one go about it in the case of Family Reunion visa.
2. Must it be done via a Lawyer or By the individual?
3. What is the probability of getting a positive response after the appeal?
4. or the person should just reapply a fresh for family reunion again?

Am asking for my Brother that was asked to file an appeal at the Berlin court after his wife got a rejection letter from the Consulate. The reason for the rejection was due to the very late submission of his housing details etc in his city's immigration office. Your advice and recommendations will be appreciated.

honestly i have been seeing many rejections but no one has created a thread on how he/she appealed through berlin court. And how how long it took.

Using lawyer is ofcourse easier but we know it cost alot of money as well. I guess that what your brother is trying to avoid. This is where having legal insurance is a huge advantage in Germany.

If he has a good reason for not responding on time, I believe the probability of getting a positive response would be quite high. Previously, many who appealed in Nigeria, when the option was valid, got positive responses, I guess the criteria shouldn't be so far from that.


Just to know, when did she go for her interview and when was the letter sent?

Also, how long did it take the husband before he responded?

The reason for the rejection is quite weird....

Zab

I renewed my passpost with my new surname before my interview date. By the time of my interview, my old passport had even expired. So I took both passports to the embassy. I presented the old one at the gate as that was the one i used to book the appointment. Then i submitted the new one that had my new surname during the interview.

Thank you for your reply. She went for her interview around January/February 2023 ( am not so sure) and it took her husband up to one year to submit the documents requested of him (he had good reasons tho according to his explanations).

Please they want to know if it is the wife that will appeal from Nigeria or the Husband or both?
Is it better to use a Nigerian or German Immigration Lawyer?

If anyone here knows or can refer any good immigration Lawyer that can handle an appeal for family Reunion please kindly share.

Thanks @MedBose for the guidance. I really appreictae.

Please how long does a blue card take to process.

Hi all,

My physical appointment for the blue card is tomorrow. I already got my documents approved via the online portal previously. They stated that I don’t need to come along with documents that were already uploaded, except for original documents like passport, University certificate etc.

To be safe, I also obtained the following documents from the checklist on the official website: Letter of motivation, Signed employment contract, Evidence of previous employments, Courier envelope.

Besides the original documents requested, are there some other documents they may ask for that aren’t included in the checklist?

Thanks in advance.
