Today is her proposed travel date. So yes, it has elapsed, and still passport has not been received since 3rd of March

Vee4:
1. Track the DHL envelope
2. Call/email the consulate
3. Hopefully she didn't make a mistake in her delivery address on the envelope.
4. Approval for her visa may have expired and the consulate requested for another, which is yet to come.
Just call them.

Msticks:
Hi

Approval has not expired. Her approval was given 1st of march, in my presence. The guy from ABH approved instantly when i submitted my docs, and few hours later, she was asked to submit passport in Nigeria.
Tracking shows that the package was successfully delivered, and return envelope tracking is not active yet, meaning the have not sent it

We have sent mails, no response. And when you call, the lady that answers call for the embassy is the rudest person in the whole world.
I am also sure her return address is correct.

VERASONDUBABE:
Good morning Sir, please did the ABH return your original documents immediately after the approval or they are still holding on to it.
So sorry for the delay, I believe she will receive it this week.

Msticks:


He just checked and gave it back. Everything, within 30-40 minutes

General info to all concerning Goethe exam reg.

Be informed that there were a lot of interested candidates who booked quickly after booking begins on their website so prospective candidates are advised to stay glued to their devices on their exam registration date between the hours of 9 am and 11 am.

Vee4:
This is crazy. I guess you have to patiently wait.
By the way, was she verified before the Approval email came?

Vee4:
1. Track the DHL envelope
2. Call/email the consulate
3. Hopefully she didn't make a mistake in her delivery address on the envelope.
4. Approval for her visa may have expired and the consulate requested for another, which is yet to come.

Good day everyone, I am new here. Please I need to enquire on how to go about a remonstration as regards my Family reunion application that was rejected. Also note that my application was rejected because we got
married after my spouse had travelled out to Germany for studies. Although, my spouse is still a student at Germany. I would be grateful to be properly guided on how to achieve a better outcome in my remonstration.
Thanks

I don't think your application got rejected because you married after your spouse travelled out to Germany for studies. Asides the checklist you are expected to fulfill for the family reunification, your spouse is also expected to fulfill requirements on his part.

For the family reunification visa: Requirements (Applicant)

- Application for family reunification
- valid passport
- current passport photo
- identity card copy of the spouse
- marriage certificate or proof of same-sex partnership
- Proof of German language skills (A1)

For the family reunification visa: Requirements (Spouse in German)
- Identity card, passport or foreign home passport
- Employer's certificate
- Proof of income to ensure subsistence
- Self-employed persons and freelancers:
- Business registration or written description of the activity (if self-employed)
* Certificate from the tax office (information in tax matters)
* Current tax assessment from the tax office
* Certificate of the tax advisor about the average monthly net income
- Health insurance certificate
- Certificate of living space and rental contract or purchase contract with indication of the square meter number
- Proof of existing health insurance as of entry for the subsequent immigration
- Certificate of residence (available at the Residents' Registration Office)

The above requirements also have to be fulfilled on the side of your spouse residing in Germany, most especially that of the income and living space. A minimum of 1,480€ after tax is expected as income for two persons (your spouse and yourself) and the living space where he resides has to be sufficient. The description to what "sufficient" is has been clearly described. Sufficient living space must be available for family reunification with a foreigner (§ 29 para. 1 no. 2 of the Residence Act - AufenthG). Further § 2 para. 4 AufenthG:

"The General Administrative Regulation on the Residence Act of 26.10.2009 speaks in No. 2.4.2 of 12 sqm and that ancillary rooms (kitchen, bathroom, WC) can also be used; a shortfall of this apartment size by about 10% is harmless. The term living space in the sense of the Living Space Ordinance also includes ancillary rooms such as kitchen, bathroom and WC."

It is crucial that your partner fulfills the above requirements before your application could be considered on the side of the respective foreigners' office in Germany. I suppose if your spouse is a student as you mentioned, he has no provable sufficient income.

Wilsonaire:
Thank you very much for your response, as it is quite enlightening.
The requirements listed for the applicant seeking the Family Reunion have been completely fulfilled. This was confirmed during my appointment at the Germany Embassy.
But it seems we are yet to fulfill the requirements for my spouse in Germany, because she is still a student.
However, the Embassy clearly stated why they are rejecting my family reunion application. Also, my spouse wasn't even contacted throughout the process till date.
Meanwhile, considering that we had our baby at Germany in 2023, I believe the Embassy should understand the need for my family to be together; so that I can support my family efficiently, and also ensure that our baby enjoys the benefits of having both parents present in her life. Especially now that my spouse is left to care for the baby while not having a job.
Please, my family really needs my presence with them. I need to support and be there for them. My spouse and I enjoyed the benefits of having both parents to care and support us right birth to when we became adults. This has contributed in no small measure to our turning out to be useful and productive adults, now couples and parents. So we are fully aware of the values and importance of parenthood and family. It would be really devasting for us as a family and society at large, if we are denied the opportunity to replicate that in our child.
At this juncture, I would really appreciate it if I can be pointed to the right direct that would lead to actualizing our dream of being together as a family, and our goal of caring and supporting our baby. As it's obvious that since my spouse is without a job at the moment, I would have to step in and step up to the possible requirements.
Thanks for your time.
Best regards.

Hello, please I need clarification on one of the checklist for family reunion as highlighted below:

Marriage certificates and divorce decrees of any previous marriages of the spouse

Affidavit* from a parent or the head of the family on the applicant's marital status (“Declaration of Spinsterhood/Bachelorhood”).

Is the b part applicable to married people? I'm wondering how someone who is married can still be declaring spinsterhood/bachelorhood 🤔

Yes it’s applicable to married people. It’s basically an affidavit which will be done by either your mum or dad (if they are both late then an older person in your family) stating that before you got married on (date of your marriage) you were not married to any1 before. The person swearing the affidavit will also attach their passport picture to the document
