Write to who?
You dey give am false hope

What do you mean by false hope? is there any harm in trying ?
Some people have done that in the family reunion visa thread and were reconsidered.

My wife went through sch so I'm going through frv, she hv not been contacted yet I'm just asking base on someone talked about change of name

Your wife is presently a student in Germany right? if yes, she does not need to change her name to your last name. Her maiden name should be already in your wedding certificate. You should write the A1 exam a month before or after your interview, depending on how easily you can be able to schedule the exam.

Hello folks,
I need your please. I am a first-timer here. A friend directed me here. I applied in Feb 2025. I had an issue with my phone. I read my email a couple of minutes ago. I discovered that the Foreign portal sent me an email to confirm my email account 9 days ago. Fast forward to the message I read today, I discovered that my account has been deleted. How can I resolve this issue. Thanks

Write to the embassy and explain the situation to them. In your email, reiterate that you are still interested in pursuing the visa application.

URGENT PLEASE!!!

I received a mail from UKVI requesting for additional documents for a criminal clearance from NPF

Also, I have been asked to provide evidence cos my current spouse is different from the application I did in 2020. I have never been married nor had a child, the agent only filled that in my application to proof strong home ties. I am legally married now with proof and certificates.

Please, how do I respond to this email??

You can visit the Police Headquarters in the state where you reside to obtain a Criminal Clearance Certificate.

Your situation is quite delicate, so it needs to be handled carefully and tactfully. If your son were not involved, then Giselle's suggestion would likely be the best approach, as the embassy understands that some couples have only a traditional marriage.
However, the main issue is the son you stated you had in the 2020 application. If you now maintain a different version of events, how will you explain your son?
In my opinion, you have two options. You can either be completely honest about the entire situation, especially since this is a family reunification (dependent) visa application. Generally, the authorities cannot simply deny eligible dependents the right to family life without considering the applicable legal provisions. Alternatively, you could continue with the previous information you provided, but you should carefully consider the potential consequences if inconsistencies are discovered.
By any chance, do you have any evidence that an agent completed and submitted the 2020 application on your behalf? That could be relevant in explaining any discrepancies in the information that was provided.

luvhenry:
Thanks a lot. But do you think it is wise to reduce the expenses slightly when i re-apply? considering that they may make reference to this recent rejected application to see if i have stayed consistent

Yes, you can. Just make sure the total expense is reasonably and not more than 2.5 of your disposable income. or better still, reduce your own monthly expense, this will increase your monthly disposable income.

luvhenry:
Thanks a lot for your response. I would have thought the focus should be on the "enough savings in the account" (13m in bank account) and 10k Dollars in investment account, as against X3 of net income. I will reduce my days then.

They really do not have what they focused on, they put all in to consideration to make a decision. The onus is on your to submit a water tight application without loopholes. If your total expense for the trip is less than three times your disposable income, but will eat up a substantial part of your savings, the application could still be flagged.
My Opinion: reduce your total expense for the trip and also reduce your normal monthly expense so as to have a high disposable income. Then make sure the total expense for the trip is not more than 2X your disposable income, or highest 2.5X your disposable income. if you have landed properties, even if it just a land, declare it in your application and show evidence of it.

Hello House,

Hello house,

When the status of Passport application Menu indicates 'Produced' .. can one now go to the passport office for pick up as there has been no message or call from passport office for pick up. what next ?

...

Just123:
i'm at this stage myself, what did you do, did you go to the passport office before getting the mail/message?

It means your passport is ready and you can proceed to the processing center for collection

UchihaEbere:
Good morning,

I applied for a passport renewal and a Change of Data request (my first and middle names were mixed up) early last month. I selected the Alausa office as my processing center, but my application has still not been approved.

I heard that in some cases it can take several months, or even close to a year, for approval.

Please what can I do to fast track this thing

Did you upload all the required documents yet? because that is what the officer will vet with your application.
If yes, send an email to nis.servicom@nigeriaimmigration.gov.ng quoting your application and reference number and then explaining the situation or you can contact their helpline number +234-912-1477-092.
OR
Go to the processing office (Alausa) to get it approved and you can do your biometric capturing same day after the application has been vetted

Just123:
Currently at alausa for capturing, if you did yours online you'll get directed to where they will charge you 5k for "compliance".

Did you pay?

ezychoco:
My application has been like this for 2 weeks now, what do I do, I’m confused

On the document below it was specified the grading system has to be sent to uni assist. That means I need to contact my school to send my transcript and grading system to uni assist? Danke! uni assist did not say anything about certification of documents. Google too Dey lie

You need to contact your school to send the transcript directly to uni-assist, the grading system is usually in the transcript. With the information, uni-assist can convert your grade to the german grading system, which is different from ours. This german grade is what uni-assist will send to the schools you have chosen in your application.
For CV, there is no basic requirements or format. you can use Europass to create one, just google europass.

TooDapper:
Is this for a passport valid for 10years ?

5 years, 10 years is 208k

Hiploko:
yes I picked it up before 8-10 days

which office please, thanks

Majestybaba92:
Thanks
One last question! Do I have to certify my documents before application? And if yes where can I certify it ? Is high court certification accepted ?

You can also check www.uni-assist.de for the requirement for Nigerians, you will definitely apply to German university through uni-assist. What i know at the top of my head is that your transcript has to be sent directly to uni-assist by your school.

Sweetjam:
Good morning everyone pls I really need everyones input,I thought I won’t have to renew till July so my previous plan was to start paying salary into the previous account I used from this month and with that,I planned to apply with an account balance of maybe 7m.The problem now is that I have to be in London in 2weeks but the account I can use now is the one with a closing balance of close to 45m.My salary has been paid into this account since January.Can I go ahead with the account since the 40m deposit was made last year and I will only use statement from January till now.What reasonable explanation can I give for the closing balance for someone that earns 500k n spends 180k every month?Apart from the closing balance,the account has been clean ,the only deposits I’ve had is my monthly salary and a deposit of 150k in march.
I’m renewing for 2 years and the visa fee is a lot so I have to get it right.

This depends strictly on how you have used the previous 3 visas.
How many times did you travel on each visa?
How long have you been spending in the UK and does the duration corresponds with what you filled in the form? at least we can give allowance of +/- 3-5 days, if it is still within your vacation period you stated in the form and corresponds with what your employer stated in the letter
What is the closing balance of your bank statement for your last application and would you have saved that much between your last and present application?
Lastly, is it possible to get a letter of deed from your uncle indicating that he gifted you that sum of money?
based on your previous 3 visas, you have a good shot at getting another one. but if you are unsure, i will advise that you apply for a 6 months visa.

I hold a Bsc in industrial chemistry and I intend to do my masters in Germany. However I have not written any language proficiency exam like IELTS. For now I only have medium of instruction from my school registrar and hope to apply with that. My search for schools that accept MOI for a master in chemistry related course has not yeild good result just one school so far. I will appreciate anyone that knows some schools specifically that accept MOI. Nevertheless! If it’s compulsory I write any of the English language proficiency exam I shall begin my preparation

www.daad.de is your friend. filter for English speaking MSc courses in chemistry and related field. Mail the international offices of the schools that pop up from your search about your situation. you will definitely get responses

Hi guys, I’m currently in Warri and I want to confirm if appointment for capturing is in asaba because I keep getting that without any office in Warri for capturing , is that how it’s suppose to be?
I’m registering for the first time and seeing that next appointment is in asaba and not showing Warri is the reason why I’m yet to register . I need some assistance

If only I got an answer to this, I wouldn't have wasted transport and my time.
First of all, the immigration office I know is in Asaba - Onitsha expressway and I went there but was told by drivers that there's no office there.
I was directed to Asaba - Ibusa expressway.
Newbies please note if your center address is in Asaba, the address is Asaba - Ibusa Expressway ( don't be confused).
So when I got there, I was ask who brought me which I replied no one , I'm DIY.
There were saying so I'm among those that want to stress them. I was taken to a office and was told to pay more for fast tracking which I told them I wouldn't be able to afford.
They collected my documents and I was told to wait outside. Waited till almost everyone has gone, one of the officers ask for my name and started looking for my file. Later I was called into the office and was told that I'm at the wrong center.

The document showed Warri:Command Hqters, Ogwashiku Rd. Asaba

I argued that the document was showing Asaba but they brought someone's document to show me the difference.

My Center address is Warri and the Delta State immigration center is Asaba.

So If yours shows Asaba:Command Hqters, Ogwashiku Rd. Asaba , then your center is Asaba and if yours shows Warri:Command Hqters, Ogwashiku Rd. Asaba,, then your center is Warri.

Note the difference.

Also that address is supposed to be Asaba - Ibusa Expressway not Ogwashiku Rd, Asaba.

Mhennn I'm very angry right now.

So much for DIY.

Caveat: I copied this from another thread, i hope it will be helpful for you and others that might be in this same situation.

Hiploko:
ok thank you

Hello, have you been able to collect the passport? kindly update the members of this thread, to assist us in simulating a likely time to get the passport. many thanks

Hi Everyone,

which date are they now giving appointment to

I heard the embassy stopped at September 1st, 2024 today

Lordcrixus:
The embassy has reached July 14th, 2024 as at Friday 27th, February 2026.

As at Friday 13th March, august 3rd 2024 has received appointment

Singlefile:
Could someone please clarify this for me? For those who applied for a work permit visa with an employment contract, and due to the waiting period, the scheduled arrival date has passed, will the embassy request an updated work contract from your potential employer, or will they still accept the work contract used during the application process, knowing that the delay was caused by waiting for appointments, which led to the passing of the resumption date?

Updated work contract will likely be requested, so be in touch with your prospective employer for a new one or an official letter stating that you can still resume work anytime your visa is issued.

adebowale14:
Hi, please what type of incoming insurance did you use? My husband has received an approval email since the 17th of February, but all the incoming insurance we used has been rejected. Thanks

Why not use provist germany from Dr Walter GmbH, then use SEPA has payment method. when your husband arrives in Germany, then you cancel the contract and enroll to your own public health insurance as a family

Goodluck70000:
Hello good people in the house, gesille, cashmadan and others


Please the hotel I booked for my wife and children,is treatment to cancel the hotel, saying its no longer available,meanwhile I have submitted and pay visa fees on the application form,I have also uploaded all the documents and books appointment.


My question is can I get another hotel and go to computer center to edit the application form with new hotel address?

I hope it will not cause red flags?

Or cancel the entire application is way out, please what can we do?

Fill a new application form and input the details of the new hotel booking. Then at their biometric appointment, opt for assisted service and they will help them upload the new form on their profile and remove the old one. You can not edit the form because they have it stored in their system already and they will only need to scan a barcode to get all the information you have filled in the form.
Note that you will pay additional fee for the assisted service, if you don't want to pay, the next best thing is to withdraw the application and reapply.

The embassy has reached July 14th, 2024 as at Friday 27th, February 2026.

July 2nd, 2024 has received appointment for interview today

Bianca222:
What if one doesn’t have an ID of the declarant that has a signature on it. Would it waived or would you be asked to send any other means of identification for the declarant?

I submitted the affidavit of spinsterhood and I didn’t submit a mean of identification for the declarant because the ones I have does not have signatures (voters card and Nin of my mum)
Would I be asked to submit it like that or how does this work?

Has anyone experienced this before. What do I do at this point?

Did the embassy collect the affidavit from you without the copy of the ID Card?
Were you asked during your interview why you did not attach a copy of the ID card?
Were you told to submit a new one with ID card attached ?
If not, in my opinion i think you are good. if they need anything from you, you will be rightly informed.

Uma456:
I went for my interview on the 6th of January and my kids 29th. We have been asked to submit our passports and insurance.
