In my own case, I wasn't informed about verification neither did I pay. I only paid for the visa process. To my understanding, they have stopped verification, you are only required to pay for verification if they don't feel satisfied with the doc you submitted. That's my understanding. I will ask my partner to keep bugging them at the Auslanderbehorde

Is there any WhatsApp group for people applying for Germany Family Reunion visas?
I applied for FRV on 14 February 2024. I had my visa interview on 16 December 2025 and submitted my A1 German certificate on 24 February 2026.
Later, the visa office asked me to send my wife's renewed residence permit, which I sent immediately. Since then, I haven't received any updates or responses.
I have sent several emails to the visa office, but they have not replied. My wife also contacted the Ausländerbehörde, and they responded:
"Unfortunately, I cannot yet tell you anything about your spouse's visa application. This will take a little more time. I ask for your patience a little longer."
Has anyone been in a similar situation? How long did it take before you received an update or a decision?
