Hopefully next week?

Merryzu:
I was also told by the embassy that the waiting time is 1yr 6months. I hope it is not true.

When did you apply? July?

They cited the number of applications made and the shortage of staff.

Congratulations!!

First, immediately get international passport for your two kids. Use the passport number to book for family reunion appointment for each of your babies.

Secondly, write the embassy an email with the two booking references for your children. The embassy will merge the applications with yours and invite the 3 of you at the same time.

Since you booked August last year year, you’ll likely get an appointment mail next month.

Cheers

Hello, do we have July 2022 applicants here that has received appointment dates?

I need to know where I stand I applied around the last week of July 2022, nothing yet.

Just to add, last month we co tacted the embassy and they said waiting time is now over 1yr 6months as against the initial over 1yr they claimed. I hope this statement from them is just to make me get my mind off it, it's been 1yr 2months since application today.

The message I posted is as requested by ABH. The part of the contract that specifies the room size and amount you pay monthly is what is very important, its usually in the first two or three pages of the rental contract.

Unfortunately I cannot confirm what I have no proof to backup, but I believe its still 15sqm per person.

Thank you. This helps. For now though, my contract stated it was meant for one person, even though the size is beyond 30sqm, I am not sure if this would be a problem; I'm in talks with the Landlord though, if the clause could be changed.

When you rented the house, was your landlord aware your wife will join you?

I was not in Germany when the letter asking for the documents came. One of the documents is pension insurance information which took about a week.

You get travel insurance in minutes from AXA mansard website in Nigeria.

I did not translate any document.

Here are the documents requested in my case.

Passport in copy
- Copy of the rental contract indicating the size of the apartment in sqm (please do not send the entire
(please do not send the entire rental contract) and a copy of the monthly costs of the rent or the
(e.g. bank statement) - in case of subletting also copy of the main lease
copy of the main rental agreement
- Copy of marriage certificate with translation, if applicable
- Employment contract and employment certificate (not older than 14 days)
- A copy of the net income for the last 6 months and
Proof of health insurance with indication of the type and duration of insurance under
Indication of the employer
- Current pension insurance history (not pension information) and certificate of registration for social insurance

I hope it helps.

Ask further questions here(not inbox) if any and I will respond, it may help someone else that way we are helping the community.

Cheers!

Hello, Thank you for this information, it helps.

Was it the ABH that said you should not send the whole rental contract? Is it just the size part they need? Please can you confirm one person is still 15sqr meter, that means 30sqr meter should be sufficient for a couple?

Heyo!

Giving back. Here is our timeline.

I have the EU Blue Card and reside in Berlin.

Booked for re-union visa appointment 23/03/2022

Wife got an email from the embassy on 24/04/2023 for appointment on 16/05/2023 (verification fee was not asked, although she was with it, she did not bother to ask since we were even praying for that long process to be skipped….lol)

Received a letter from ABH on 15/06/2023, dated 9/06/2023 asking to submit documents (verification was indeed skipped)

I submitted the documents on 03/07/2023. I got a response from ABH on 10/07/2023 that my wife's visa has been approved and it is now on Lagos to issue the visa.

12/07/2023, she got an email to submit her passport, travel health insurance and travel date. We submitted all same day and she got her passport with visa stamped on 19/07/2023.

I hope it helps and gives someone hope.

Hello,

why did it take you close to 1month before you submitted your documents to the ABH? What documents were requested for?

Also how did you get your travel insurance for your wife?

Did you translate some of your documents?

Mopricelezz:
They are still on first week of July. Someone got today for interview in first week in October. I am July as well. It will come

Normally, they send invitation on first come first serve basis right?

I want to believe for EU blue card, their spouses don't need the A1 certificate right? Or has it changed?

When did you apply?

Tees23:
Have they start sending mail to July applicants?

Yet to see any. Have you heard or seen any?
