Hello Fam. Please I need help here. Thank you.
1. "Affidavit of consent of the parents for the child". Is this supposed to be a written consent letter by the child's parents or the parents go to court to swear/declare it?
2. "Illiterate jurat".  Is this gotten from the court?
3. If ILLITERATE JURAT is declared, does that mean the lawyer will not ask my mum to fill the verification form? Or should I put my cousin on standby to help her fill the form?
4. My mum lives in kogi state but will be coming to Abuja for checkups. Can she do the court affidavits in Abuja or she MUST do it in kogi state?

EngrOsax:
Hello fam, my lawyer came for verification today but my mum couldn't fill her form and I wasn't allowed to fill for her because according to the lawyer we were supposed to do illetrate jurat for her in the process of the affidavit since she's the deponent or she has to fill for herself which she couldn't coz she can't read and write. Pls do anybody know what would be the report from the embassy?

Ganesass:
It has been over 3 weeks I sent documents to the auslanderbehorde and they replied that they have approved my family's visa. I have not heard anything from the embassy. Does anyone know how else I can get the embassy's attention or what could be wrong at this point? I call them everyday, apparently calling them does not work. What can I do?

BigBoy123:
Please did you submit your documents online or did you have to go to the Auslanderbehörde? And did the Auslanderbehörde contact you by email or call? I live in Düren NRW, I hope my wife's own will be fast too.. Congratulations once again

Aminattah:
Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!!
Your city office responded fast. Please what city is that?

Myfavour22:

Please how did you sort this out later, did she have to travel to lagos to pay?

Adegbeanna:


No it isn’t mandatory to book a return ticket for the purpose of family reunion. You aren’t coming back now so why book a return flight

Aminattah:
Hello.
My hubby is trying to register our marriage in his city in Germany. The city registry told him to submit some documents e.g our wedding certificate, passport data page etc and to fill the verification forms (same type of form that lagos embassy issues for reunion verification). He was also told that he will pay verification fee and they will contact lagos embassy to send a lawyer for the verification here in Nigeria. I understand this is the same verification process I would undergo after my visa interview later in the year. Someone once posted here that registering his marriage in his German city made the visa process faster for his wife and kids in Nigeria, that's why we want to try it.
My question is;
1. Will I be made to pay N150k for another verification or I can simply present the evidence/certificate of verification from my husband's city (it should be ready before our visa appointment date)?
2. Does anyone have an idea of how much it will cost him (the city office has not told him the fee yet. His appointment is next month)? We need to be financially ready.
3. Has anyone done this? Care to share?
Thank you.

Why do you feel you're entitled to that piece of information?

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

QueenieDar:


Thanks! I got the schengen visa and it was fast (7 days), though not from Germany.. thanks again this made me research deeper

Biggybee:


Thank you...
But No sir/ma.
My husband is NOT a DAAD scholar.

The only thing we did was we used the DAAD method. A spouse of a DAAD scholar here was gracious enough to tell me what the content of the letter they take to the embassy was. (SHOUT OUT TO YOU MA.. THANKS!!!)

My spouse then approached the HR at his office to give us a letter to the embassy.

They wrote a letter stating his name, his work capacity, how much he earns and that he is able to put me under his insurance , sustain me and put me in a language school over there. They also added that they would want me to join him by January 2022.

All of this was typed on a letter in deutsch with their own letterhead which we mailed the embassy with (this got us a date for interview). I also took a hard copy of same letter to the embassy for my interview, even though it wasn't requested(the interviewer was quite rude), i made sure i dropped it off.

I don't know how helpful this is but please if your SPOUSE ain't a scholar but works. PLEASE LET YOUR SPOUSE TRY AND APPROACH THE HR AT HIS WORKPLACE FOR A LETTER.

I don't think the marriage date affected verification though... Afterall, going through the thread has shown that marriage prior travel didn't stop people from the long wait or verification. I think since the letter from my spouse's workplace already called me his wife, they just agreed that it was.

Thanks again sir/ma.

Sidenote: Now that you bring up the aspect of no verification, can i ask for a refund? Cos i paid the 150k for verification o. Money scarce

Richard00000:
might be due to the A1,cos registration and writing it were a little problem,wrote it, 3 times before I passed it, submitted it late

Richard00000:
did interview sep 2020 got the mail November 20 2021 more than a year

Atopet:
Hello,

1. It depend on the type of vaccination. If the vaccination is recognized in Germany, definately it will be converted.
2. Do you live in Ruhr Area, I can connect you to a lady that translate my marriage certificate. She is a Nigerian and her service is very cheap



1. For full vaccination taken in Nigeria holding the vaccination card, on arrival to Germany, can this be converted to the recognized Vaccination Certificate
2. Please advice on how to go about Germany translation of marriage certificate obtained in Nigeria, where can this be carried out in Germany.

Thank you for your reply

Chessbaby:
If you've gotten an interview date. Write to Gothe institute they will give you an exam date. Its more expensivebut am sure it's cheaper than goingo Ghana

Hello house I just found this thread and I know that this thread will be useful to me for clarification and more understanding.My brother just got a visit business visa to Germany, actually he got this through an agent that was meant to give him a swedish visa but due to some constraints he wasn't able to deliver on that, so you know he got this visit business visa for my brother to Germany. So according to him he says when my brother gets to Germany he can move from Germany to Sweden or any other Schengen country,the challenge now is that on the visa in German when translated to English it says you are not allowed to work like this is just a visit business visa that doesn't allow you to work so my brother is about to book his flight and hotel reservation because the visa has a duration of 1 month which will start counting from on the 25th of October to 23rd of Nov.
My questions are number one how long will he stay in Germany with this Visa ?
Number two how much BTA does he need?Number three is it possible for him to enter another Schengen country and find work there because of course nah hustle dey carry am go. He is just in 200 level here in Naija. Please I need valid advise and answers from those who sabi abeg. Thank you guys
