Thanks a lot for this. Noted

Keinbock:
The NPC should suffice, since your children are under 5. And yes it is mandatory that you include all the schools they attended , as the embassy might want to investigate the accuracy.

family reunion takes about 6 months but you might be lucky and get the visa earlier. mine took only 2 months

Yes, that is what I meant - fast track procedure for skilled workers. Thanks for this, will definitely take you up on this. lots of the responses already are very informative.

timbs001:
Note that there is a fast track procedure for skilled workers: (https://www.make-it-in-germany.com/en/an-expert-explains-the-fast-track-procedure-for-skilled-workers). Is that what you are referring to?
In that case you can apply for the VISA together with your wife and children and the Visas will be processed together and you will be able to travel with your family.

IF that is what you meant, you can mention me here incase you have questions about that.

Biggybee:
Firstly, i do not think you need an agency. Or better still, i don't know if any agency can fast track anything for you. The German embassy deals so much on a personal level that i am not sure agencies help to give any "Special effect"

Let me help answer the ones i can.

2. Let your wife's father (mother or head of family if he is late) Go to any high court in your state and ask a lawyer to help with "Affidavit of Spinsterhood". The content will be that your wife has never been married to anyone else before you and before your wedding date.
At every point a person's name is mentioned in the affidavit , state their full name, age and address.

3. Do photo prints.. I made only 4 copies(showing that we were in court and the ones we took with parents and witnesses) but in the end i wasn't even asked. But do it, just in case they ask you.

4. Use their thumbprint.

5. If they ask for the hospital in the application form, write it there. But the NPC certificate is definitely needed.
b. Take them along just to be safe, it might not be needed at the end but take it.

6. This is based on so many factors. I remember there was a guy who had preapproval and it took his family 4 months altogether. For some, they had to wait longer. But maybe not as long as those that don't have preapproval.

Best of luck.

Alright, I will definitely do as advised. Thanks a lot.

Hello House,


My family and I presently work and live in Nigeria and I just got a job contract). The travel agency supporting my and family's relocation will process fast track. Please I have a few questions with regards to the documents needed for appointment:
1. Can someone please share with me template for 'Motivation letter'
2. For spouse application, they requested affidavit deposed by father stating no marriage prior - how do we go about this.
3. They also requested marriage and family photos - we only have soft copies of these. Can we print on normal A4 or should we do photo prints?
4. For children application forms and declaration- how do we sign since they are Under 5 years and don't have that, can we just use their initials?
5. Still on children, do we need to provide:
a. registration of birth of the hospital and name/address of the clinic since we are providing NPC?
b. all school records, nursery records and names/addresses of schools attended - are these necessary/mandatory since they are U5?
6. Lastly, how long will the processing for my family take since we are applying together?

Thank you very much as you respond.
