Hello house any update? Everywhere just quiet.

Optimisticprim:
Hmmm! No! And it's been 10 months after interview.

Hopefully they will visit you this month. Mine was 10 months too. I had my interview in January 2023 but I was visited at the end of October 2023.
I know it isn't easy for you but you will hear from your lawyer soon. Cyberhugs.

Mopricelezz:
Hi Sis. How did the verification with the lawyer go?

It went well. We thank God.🙏🙏🙏

MintyChoccochip:
We've submitted the A1 certificate for two weeks now and even ABH says the application is approved on their end. Who knows how long before the embassy sends AM?

Hopefully soon.

Sugiejay:
Wow
Finally
Thank God.
You stayed strong through it all, welldone sis

Thank you.🙏 German FRV application process isn't for the weak. The suspense is just too much.

UCEKE:

Thank you.

Mopricelezz:
I am so happy for you, sis. Thanks to God

Thank you.🙏

Mrsstephanieo:
Finally 💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻 so happy für you

Thanks Sis.😊. I can now smile.

My lawyer just called me two hours ago, that he will be coming tomorrow. It has been a long wait. I'm so exhausted but I am thankful to God.
This is coming at exactly 8 months and two weeks because although I had my interview in January 2023, the verification process began in February. So I was told by the embassy.
Finally!! I thank everyone in this group for giving me the strength to go on with their kind words of encouragement. We will all smile at the end.

Mopricelezz:
So sorry about that.
Perhaps your hubby should keep mailing them, especially in German. Maybe they'll tell him what's up.

Thanks so much for your concern. We will keep sending them mails . Hopefully someday I ll receive a call.

Sugiejay:
I think he should even visit the foreign office there, if they can probably mount pressure on the embassy here. This thing is super annoying. Since January for goodness sake

We sent mails. The foreign office said they haven't received my file/ information yet from the home office here.

Mopricelezz:
Hey Sis, anything yet from the embassy?

Nothing yet o😒

Optimisticprim:
Had my interview since February, nothing yet ... Called this morning, the lady on the call didn't even allow me to talk. She just cut me short, saying the consulate will contact me if they have anything for me. They need to work on their call center representative, especially the ladies. The males are friendly and attentive.

It's so sad...

I was told the same thing. They said they will send me a mail they if they needed my attention or if anything was amiss. 😓💔

Optimisticprim:
Dealing with lives and family and being complacent about it, is so unfair. Started application since 2021 oooh.

They really don't put anything into consideration. They do as they please. Has your Lawyer visited you?

No timeline update peeps? It's been so quiet in here recently. I still haven't been verified by my lawyer. 💔💔💔😓 Na wa ooo.💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔

Richykings:
Yes I understand your feeling, this isn't an easy process at all, but I believe your case will be settled before December runs out, just keep praying and keep believing

Yes
Hopefully. Thank you

Richykings:
Good evening house, please how long does it take for the embassy to send verification complete email? Its 3months already after the lawyer visited me, I don't know what's going on, anyone has any idea

Hopefully they will reply you soon. Just a little patience more .But at least you have been verified by lawyer. I applied in Nov 2021,went for interview in January 2023 up to this very moment as I write I still haven't heard from my lawyer. Not lawyer has visited me as part of the verification process. My frustration knows no bounds.😢

Mopricelezz:
Sis @FrauPosh how far? Has lawyer shown now?

I still haven't heard from my lawyer. No verification yet from any lawyer. At this point words fail me. Na look I dey look now.

MY TIMELINE FOR GERMAN FAMILY REUNION VISA (sorry it late been really busy)
My spouse was a blue card holder who became eligible for permanent residency just before my interview. Before my interview, my husband already submitted his documents to ABH and I got my first pre-approval with hopes that it will make things move faster but it didn’t.
1.Booked on the 21st August 2021.
2.Appointment email came on 16th Sept.2022
3.Interview was for 13th Oct.2022
4.I submitted my A1 result on 14th Dec.2022 (strategically delayed to avoid expiration before visa completion.

Then ,there was a prolonged period of silence for 7 months +. Calls and emails went unanswered. In February we called Bundesverwaltungsamt and we were told that a second pre-approval was sent to the embassy on 5th Jan.2023 and the lawyers verification was the only thing left for my visa to be approved. We were advised to have patience and stop with the frequent calls.

5.We started working with a German immigration lawyer on 11th may 2023 and he contacted the embassy, they replied him saying that the verification center had promised to do the verification as soon as possible and the lawyer should contact them by the first week of July 2023 to know the result of the verification.
6.Lawyer called for verification on 24th May 2023 and he came on 25th May 2023 and he was done by 31th may 2023.
7.Verification complete email sent on 14th July 2023 and it also said they were waiting for final decision from alien office. We called ABH on 17th July but was told the man in charge of our case was not available and they were yet to find someone to replace and handle his work. We emailed our lawyer same day and forwarded the emails sent by the embassy and ABH. He wrote them and was told the approval I got had expired and he also sent an email to ABH asking them to treat as urgent. Urgent efforts were made for an approval to be sent. My spouse wasn’t asked for any document or informed of the approval when it was finally sent.
8.Email to send passport, travel date and travel insurance 15th August 2023
9.I sent documents on 17th August 2023 from Uyo via Dhl and it was delivered on August 21st , 2023 to the embassy.
10.Passport received with visa August 28th , 2023 via Fedex to Uyo

Key Takeaways:
**learned patience,importance of privacy and how to pray more.
** persistent communication through calls and emails is crucial,even if responses aren’t immediate.Someone is seeing your emails.
** Advisable to complete A1 requirements closer to the appointment to avoid expiration before visa completion.
**Lastly we all might be applying for FRV but our cases/situations /Cities/application officers are different.

‘’PS’’: The lawyer asked for old pictures of me in secondary school and in family events when he came. Asked my parent about me;previous marriages if any, children if any, my educational level, how I told them about my spouse etc…

Congratulations.👏👏👏. Best wishes.

VERASONDUBABE:

Well said . It's just like you knew about my situation at the moment. So many tears shed , confusion and frustration. This month makes it the 8th month without word from the embassy. I have not even been verified or visited by a lawyer. I have personally called and written to the embassy. We hired an immigration lawyer right from the onset . The lawyer has sent several mails yet no response. Infact I'm so heartbroken.

olig:
Nawa o. This journey sef get as e be.
Thanks for your response.

The matter ehn! is not for the faint hearted. It keeps you stuck physically, mentally and emotionally .

olig:
Please, Is there a way one can collect back his/herdocuments/certificates from the embassy before they conclude everything? In case one need them for something else.
This one that they holding documents for almost one year in the name of verification. Will I get them back immediately if I need them?

I don't think they will release the documents back to you because you do not know when exactly the verification process will start. The only time you have to submit your documents is during your interview appointment. You are allowed to submit missing documents later but returning your documents before visa stamp is very unlikely. Your can also call the embassy to find out though. Maybe it could be possible but I doubt. My humble opinion.

VERASONDUBABE:
I feel your pain because am having similar issue with approval, but I believe we will all receive good news soon as long as our God liveth. Try your best as human and leave everything for God, He knows the best time.

I also wish you a speedy process. Thank you so much for your kind words.

VERASONDUBABE:
This Germans are making me to doubt their reputation, January applicant is yet to receive a lawyer for verification whereas an April applicant is through with verification just waiting for verification completed mail same thing is also happening with approval mail, Hmmm nawaoh

The matter tire me. I can't complain anymore.

UCEKE:
No

Ok. Thank you
