German passport/Visa Approval Update!!

Applied for family reunion visa 2nd Dec 2019.
Appointment mail 21st Dec 2020
Appointment with my 1st son 14th Jan 2021.
March 24th 2021 email came from them saying I should submit a Signed and completely filled out questionnaire for the document verification. (Reasons d submitted once was not properly filled and I forgot 2 sign) I submitted it and aft dat i started waiting for lawyer 2 call, it never happened. I got tired of waiting so on d 9th of June 2021 I hunt for my lawyer myself and i found him d nxt day, I called him and we fixed a date, he showed up 14th of June.
21st of June 2021 my spouse was contacted and asked to submit some documents.
Aug 11th 2021 verification mail drop and I was also asked 2 submit A1, all dis while i was thinking cuz my spouse is a German i will have examption from d A1, by dis time i was heavily pregnant so I can't even go to Lagos for d exam. My spouse called Ausländerbehörde and talk and talk, finally they asked him to appeal, which we did with supporting documents, I wrote A1 Nov 2019 i got 52points then I came bk 2 my base started another language school finished from there wrote d school exam and scored 62, we submitted d two results and my registration form.
I was praying and trusting God for d wave and booom they waved it. Ausländerbehörde informed my spouse on the 23rd of Aug 2021 dat it has bin waved and our visa has bin approved.
Me, i immediately sent our passport & 3 months traveling insurance 2 d consulate without dem asking, they collected it and kept it for me, LoL.
28th August 2021 I put to bed all my fear of starting a new process for my new child.
I never knew God will break protocol for me.
29th Aug i informed them that I just put 2 bed.
31st Aug they asked me to submit a readable scan copy of my son's birth certificate.
10th Sep i got another mail asking me to submit d original certificate I did, then we started feeling that, they might invite us to Lagos for d new baby's interview so my spouse quickly sent them a long email stating dat I can't travel 2 Lagos.
7th Oct 2021 I got an email saying they have applied for German passport for my kids in German Embassy Abuja. (Best news!!! no lawyer came 4 my new baby and no additional verification fee was asked)
I wrote Abuja they replied immediately and requested that my spouse go to Jugendamt or standarmt for acknowledgement of paternity for our 1st child (reason for this was bcuz I had my first son in May and our court marriage was in July) .So he went to standesamt in Germany and did it, they sent it out 13th Oct 2021 through Deutsche post and it got to our own Nipost, till today Nipost has nt delivered it 2 d embassy. my spouse got tired, went back to standesamt 1st Dec 2021 got another copy and paid for DHL .
6th Dec 2021 Embassy got it and wrote me that same day to send my passport and marriage certificate via email.
7th Dec 2021 I got an email stating things I need 2 bring and fees to pay for the German passport and as soon as I get everything ready I shd send them an email so an appointment can be fix.
That same day I told dem I was ready immediately an appointment was fix for 13th Dec 2021.
13.12.21 I notarize my declaration of consent at the Embassy & also submitted my children's passport application,
I applied for children's passport (Kinderreisepass) cuz it's Faster and they are below 13. It will be issued within 5 days.
I told Abuja ppl to plz inform Lagos, I also wrote them an email myself.
17th Dec 2021 I pick my children's German passport at the Abuja Embassy and I was told that my visa officer in Lagos went on leave Choi all my plans of dirty December in Deutschland crumbled. Lol
I started calling and sending German consulate mail everyday same story Madam b patient we are at the final Stage
31st January 2022 I received an email saying they are currently waiting for final response from foreign office in Germany, I was shock cuz that was done in August 2021. So my spouse called Ausländerbehörde and asked why, he was told dat it's over 5 months they work on my visa and it's a long time, so they want to know if he still has his work and if he can take care of us financially so he was asked to submit his 3 months pay slip which he did that same day.
28th February 2022 I got Approval mail
7th March I got my visa and documents back.
Arrived Germany 10th March 2022.
This whole process took 2 years, 3 months & 5 days.
God is Indeed too Faithful to Fail !!!

Wowwww congrats dear. Welcome to Deutschland

Keinbock:
You can translate it at kmk.org.
They are located in Bonn. But you do not to go there. You can send it through post

Ok tnkz alot

MolecularSponge:
Your story is very inspiring but I think there is something else you are not telling us. You got your citizenship in like 3 years. This amazing. Is your spouse a German or an EU citizen? If your spouse is a German citizen of course it will be easier

Her spouse might likely b a German citizen cos dat way tin are made "a bit" easier for u especially wen u hv B1 and u hv stayed up to 3yrs in Germany wt no criminal record , u r entitled to applied for German citizenship. Once u hv d B1, den every other tin is easy but for medical profession ,it's B2 u will nid to further.

Keinbock:
Step by Step on how I obtained my family reunion visa.

1. Got married in the church 07.10.2017 ( so my church marriage certificate was what i used to process my visa)
2. November 2017, I enrolled in german language school in lagos .
3. December 2017 ( I took the A1 exams in Goethe institute Lagos).

4. After the result came out, I started looking for appointment. I noticed that they are ususally no available appointments during the day. So i tried at midnight and i got one for 3.01.2018
Before going for your appointment, make sure you have all the required documents and 2 to 3 photocopies of each document. Appear at least 30-40 minutes before your appointment.

The visa officer might ask some questions in German. In my own case, I was asked my name,my address and the name of my husband. Don't freak out, they are jsut basic questions.

5. A week after my appointment, my lawyer contacted me and started the investigation. He went to my family house, he visited the place i was staying in Lagos, my primary school, secondary school, university, the church where i wedded and the hospital where i was born.

6. Feb. 2018. I got an email, that I should submit my passport to the embassy, but the passport should bear the last name of my husband.
7. This process took about 3 weeks.
8. 03.03.2018, I left Nigeria for Germany.


LIFE IN GERMANY.
1. After I moved to Germany, I added myself on a waiting list for a language course.
2. June 2018 I started my german course and by dec.2018, I wrote the B1 exams. (by oct 2018, I got a 450 euro job which lasted 3 months)
3. Jan.2019 I started my B2 and by sept. 2019, I wrote C1 exams and passed it.
4. With my C1 result and the my translated university certificate, I got a job in jan. 2020 in the finance sector.



5. March 2021, I applied for German citizenship and by July 2021, I got my german citizenship. Three years after i migrated to germany.

My story might be uncommon, but here is how i achieved it. I researched extensively , as i didnt have any guide. I put the horse before the cart. Learn German as much as possible. The possibility of getting a good job is higher, when you have the german C1 certificate, you can get high paying jobs and your chances of getting german citizenship will higher.

Feel free to ask me any question

Plz check ur mail .I wrote u ,I'll lyk to ask you some questions about translating ur university certificate to German here in Germany . Am hvin a little pblm wt dat . Tnk u

Aj79:
other nationals are going through this delays too...i am on a facebook group and some middle east countries take longer than nig

Abeg which national is dis, cos what I knw is dat this pple suffer we Nigerians I say so wt reasons cos two of my hubby's colleagues at work , one's wife relocated to Togo ,she was lucky to get their residence permit there, den started d family reunion process , there u dnt wait up to a yr lyk Nigerian own , she said u get to choose ur appiontment date ,even if u wnt it d nxt day dat it's possible , d other of my hubby's colleagues wife in Bangladesch started dis family reunion process October last yr, her visit came out yesterday , this and many more stories I hear and see and it's absolutely clear dat it's jst d embassy being wicked to Nigerians cos they knw there's nothing we can do

ewerejohn23:
Please House, can someone apply for German child passport, at the same time apply for family Reunion visa

Yes

Bonn2007:
Hello y'all,

Please has someone here ever applied for a Visiting Visa to Germany while awaiting a Family reunion visa for Germany?

Thanks.

Yes , I did while I was in Nigeria bt wasn't given, they asked me to wait for d family reunion visa, even though I didn't tell dem Abt d family reunion process, I tink it's all documented in their system. dnt get ur hopes high cos they "hardly " gv visiting visa to u if d prsn u r going to visit is family especially spouse, cos they knw dat we no go gree come bk after d visit. But u cn still try ur luck. Best of luck .

[quote author=Ejopee post=109088492][/quote]Am really sorry abt d delay ,I understand hw u feel cos I was once in ur shoes, I really dnt understand d reason for d delay bt I "hrd" dat d Ausländerbehörde in dis cities r short staffs "probably" cos of corona and all dat . So sometmyz u wldnt entirely blame d embassy, even though they even derive "joy" in d delay as they dnt wnt blacks especially Nigerians in their country because we don turn "see finish" . Even getting appiontment to register in d foregin offices in dis cities once u enter Germany is another story ,sometmyz ur 3mnths visa elapses b4 u get an appointment . Jst b strong. They cn only delay bt NEVER deny u ur ryt because once ur spouse is legally here and u both hv provided EVERY document needed, den u hv every ryt to join ur spouse for d purpose of family reunion .

Mrbigman1:
My wife did in May but nothing from embassy yet.

If there is sometin I learnt from dis delay is dat d embassy cn delay bt u also hv foregin offices in Germany here dat also delay lyk Bremen, Munich, essen ( dis r d ones I knw) . Their foregin offices cn delay u especially if u hv issues ,so in all u hv to EXERCISE ALOT OF PATIENCE , borrow patience If u dnt hv . Tnkz

Chessbaby:
Can you please recommend any hotel else close to the place?

Check for hotels in d island .there r many ,although vry expensive, den leave on tmy on d day of ur appiontment .

jbonito:
Please could you share the contact of the private tutor?

He's has relocated to France , he's no longer In nigeria

[quote author=jbonito post=108872246]Thank you for the response. Yes you’re right about it being needed eventually. But my spouse works six days a week and has little or no time to schedule an A1 tutorial hence my question.


Ur spouse will hv to mke out tmy, there's no short cut to it , i applied for a private tutor wen I did mine cos I was working den. I had my lessons on weekends for 2mnths, after which I wrote d exam and passed

jbonito:
Just for my own clarification please. I thought there was an exemption on the German embassy website for A1 certificate if the partner has a BSC or if the partner being joined in DE has a blue card. Did they change something at some point but did not update their website?
Thanks for your response.

D A1 is only exempted if ur spouse has an EU blue card but if u hv a BSC degree , u will nid it at d embassy bt I discovered dat even wen u enter Germany ( cos am in Germany already) , if u wnt to blend into d society ,u will still go to language skul here ,starting from A1 again . So to me it's still d same tin

Chessbaby:
Compliments of the season you'll.
I would love to know the closest hotel/lodging to the Embassy. I heard about the Army cantonment, who's been there recently?
How is it!

It's still under renovation, d last tmy I checked, check somewhrelse.

Since then I haven't heard from anyone. The embassy did not notify me that my verification has been completed. And they didn't contact
my spouse at deutcshland. I am so worried.

Anybody knows what I can do? I'm so. So worried! ������������

There's no nid to b worried, the embassy will still send u an email wen d document verification is successful. There's no nid to b worried . This process takes tmy

plz i wnt to ask a frnd sent her document to document to d embassy and she said she tried tracking it and they said "it has bin delivered to joda " plz who's joda is it oga Paulinus or who ?

Please I have a couple questions. I have an interview next month but I registered with my maiden name as it is the same in my passport. I have since done a change of name but I'm yet to make a new passport as I have 2 years left on it. Will this be a problem? Also do you pay the 150k verification fee for infants as well?

Lastly, I missed the deadline for the last A1 exam registration so I'm set to write in November, do I tell them before or during the interview? I'll appreciate a response pls

I don't knw Abt d passport or 150k for infant bt I knw dat u cn Go for d interview without d A1 bt hv it at d Back of ur mind dat they'll still ask u for d A1 much later. so jst write it and kip d result until they ask for it via email.
