They cannot apply for student visa so they'll have to apply for the 3months Schengen visa which will last for 3 months only. And that is just in theory, i think bringing your family with you when going to study just gives red flags. gives them the impression that you don't plan on coming back
I just found out it is possible. Check the attached link

I don't have any experience. However, the little I have read about, you can first apply for your normal student visa. When u get there, application can be made for family, even as a student, as long as you meet the requirements. One major requirement is financial, they will expect u to have some specific amount depending on the size of family. Of course they will expect u to have the right size of accommodation for them naturally.
Like I said, I have no experience, but I've read something related to the question u asked.
And like someone just said, making your student visa application and at the same time making visa application for accompanying family,even if all the resources are available, might look like relocation to them.
Thanks.

When you get there as a student, your family down here will apply for family reunion visa....

The bottom line is having large amounts of money.

Hello, it is not as simple as stated in the information document of schools.

Let me assume you are female with kids and are going for M.Sc, asides your blocked account, you will be asked to block half of your BA per child and show plans for accommodation at your destination (so in total your BA plus another half of your BA for each child). If you are male and you are married with kids, you will be told to apply for family reunion when you get to Germany and this requires your wife to get A1 certificate from Geothe while you will be required to show funds enough to cater for their first year (half of BA per child plus full BA for the wife and an appropriate apartment to accommodate them).

If you are going for P.hD, you can apply to move the family at the same time depending on the terms of the P.hD contract. If fully sponsored then they will be issued visa that even allows the wife to work full time.

So yes it is possible but if you look closely, they stated that the right kind of visa must be applied for which is where the cog in the wheel is.

Wish you the best

How did you get the interview date?

Was it via the appointment portal or they replied you by email?

Did you book an earlier appointment? If yes, what happened?

Details will throw more light on the matter.

Anyways, try to get another appointment via the portal and also try via email to the embassy (maybe they will reply with what the exact issue with today's appointment)

All the best
Re: General German Student Visa Enquiries Part 5 by Globalstamp: 12:16pm On Feb 11, 2019
I applied through email initially but i didnt got any response, then i lucky booked the appointment online which they gave me a date of 22/02/2019 then the next day i got another email from them for another date which is today 11/02/2019 so now i have two appointments letter
11/02/2019 and 22/02/2019

So you book appointment in July, and embassy gave you date in December? Knowing fully well that you applied for winter semester, embassy will not give you a date in December if you applied for appointment in July. Something is still not right?



seems you are out as a policeman lol....... but if you read properly I said due to late booking of appointment as at July I was not on NL, immediately I saw that no winter appointment on their website then I gave up not until November a friend said I should book as summer applicant and explain to the V.O, now I booked and was given 12th of December and I was bounced back without even being interviewed on that day then the V.O before bouncing me back told me to write the school, which I did then I was sent that letter and booked immediately and got 28 of December. So if you still doubt, I will advice you if you are already in DE to come over to NRW by weekend and we will meet but if you are not then focus on your applications and try and get your visa and you would still meet me there
Thank you

[s]You should have gone with printed emails showing the entire communication and the fact that 22nd was duly cancelled for you.

Well, as it stands, you need to mail them to confirm if the 22nd still stands as they have made the error of not registering you for today or will they be giving you another appointment. You will have to persist and copy all their email addresses that you know to get a fast response. Make sure you emphasize the fact that they did the first booking and the rebooking and as such should proffer a solution.

In the meantime, try and get another appointment via the portal if you can.[/s]

I just read your initial explanation again and saw that you got the 22nd via online and 11th as a response to your email application. My best guess is that they saw the 22nd already booked and rescinded the 11th (without informing you).

Since the system has approved the cancellation you did for the 22nd, you do not have an appointment right now.

So, mail them and explain in details everything as it happened and request for their assistance so you don't miss your deadline. Copy all the email addresses of theirs you can get.

In parallel, email your school and ask for deadline extension as a back up plan.

All the best

And again, you used Winter Admission Letter yo apply for Summer Semester Visa Appointment, and the embassy gave you a date, then they bounced you back?

There was still appointment space on their website until like August Ending or Early September I guess. So if you truly got your admission in July, then... you’re still not telling us the whole truth.

You confused someone with your story... I took interest in your story because I need to made it clear to that person that things are not really way you expressed it. I already told the guy that Hamm-Lippstadt only admits in Winter for that course, so when you mention Summer.... the guy thought I was lying or something....

I don’t know your story, It’s your story...not my problem...but things you said don’t add up... I will appreciate if you are straight next time so as to not lead others astray.

Thanks

You know when I showed a friend this thing he laughed and said, I have been a fool trying to explain to you and I truly accept that cos its my fault, so guy if you like believe its your own cup of tea, if you don't like believe but don't mislead people with your disbelief cos it might discourage them like I was discouraged when I first started. Try and focus on yourself, trust me you would be surprised the exploits you would do. I ain't quarreling or fighting with you, my friend was like this guy might be bitter about success stories even though he doesn't even know the people but I think that's a lie, I just think you are someone that just believes only in what he thinks and is not open to receive knowledge about what he does not know. But bro my advice is you can do better and be open to know things you never knew before it would really help you, cos someone that might be in the situation I was, seeing this your comment might be discouraged thinking its not possible, how I strongly wish there is someone that can just indicate that he or she is in NRW so we can meet up and then he or she will personally clear the air on this in other to encourage others.
I wish you the best in all your endeavors
Thank you and God bless you

Check your cancellation properly. You may have cancelled the 1 of 11 instead of 22. Just to be sure!!

Hello i need advice from those who used xpatrio since
last year they refunded my money i am yet to get it. They told me my money is with deustche bank. I contacted Deutsche bank they said i should inform xpatrio. Since then they have been doing investigation for over a month. I really need to fund because i would soon start my visa application. I need help if there is anyone in berlin who could assist me because i don't understand what the delay is. They refunded the money i sent to a friend in germany to xpatrio. But the one i sent from nigeria i am yet to get it. I regret using xpatrio i wont lie. Very slow response no empathy to my situation i had to withdraw my late winter application because of this issue. What whould i do?

I paid the 10,000 for applying as well as sending to uni-assist. You make the payment to the bank and they'll give you a print out that you'll attach to the email you'll send for your transcript application to this email address (academicoffice@noun.edu.ng)
I only applied for them to send to uni-assist as I was applying through uni-assist. If you're applying to 5 schools I guess that will be 50,000 ( 10,000 for each school) and also in your application don't forget to enter all 5 schools addresses.

I think only the headquarters send out transcripts although I am not sure about that.
