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.

Hi please I'm new here I just joined this forum, I have applied for my German Student Visa, I actually applied with my toddler last year. My application was in September and my son's Application was in December as his passport was not available during my interview.

My blocked Account has been fully funded, I have submitted all the necessary documents requested by the Consulate.

But up till now I have not received any response from the Consulate concerning my application. Each time I call they say they are still working on the application. The last VO I spoke with over the Telephone said that my son's Application was affecting mine as his own is a Family Reunion Visa.

Please what can I do, my University went as far as getting in touch with the Federal Office in Bremen to find out the status of my application but the FO informed my University that my application was yet to arrive to Bremen that they haven't received it.

I'm sincerely sad and I need help. Please if anyone knows what I can do, because it's been 6 months since I applied and yet no response.
