You don't need to v A1 b4 applying. Just apply first cuz it's a very long journey waiting for appointment date. You only need passport number 2 apply

OK thanks, will do that striaght away at their website.

Thanks so much for this explanation and insight.

knogbu:
The issuance of your visa is largely determined by the Foreigners office (Immigration) of the city in Germany where your spouse lives. The embassy only issues visa when the immigration office directs them to do so. Therefore, the most important thing is to find out if the Immigration has asked your spouse here to submit documents, and also if they have finished processing that here. I will recommend all who is waiting to ask their spouse here to do a follow-up from this side.
From observations here, there has been a slow response in getting appointment for 'Residence Permit Extension'. I know persons who applied since and their permit has already expired and yet no date for another appointment. Have in mid that since covid19 started, they now ask you to post your documents and only invite you for bio-metrics in rare cases. These same office handling internal visa extension for foreigners here are also responsible for approving 'long term visas'. The waiting period is also long if your coming to the state of NRW which has high population. you can only imagine how many persons requiring attention from this office daily. Turkish, Syrians, Chinese, Ghanaians, Kenyans, Ethiopians, etc all visits this office regularly. Cities like Essen, Bonn, Dusseldorf, etc have high populations and this affects the process.

Berlin is better because they have 3 offices and can handle crowd effectively. As we wait, we pray no to wait longer than necessary, Covid19 really has greatly impacted on this visa issuance.

Please, find out if your spouse has been contacted in Germany
