@Mrbigman
According to my friend then she was ask the above � questions and much more like personal questions about her husband like favorite color, favorite good favorite dress, color of room, color of bedsheet, how much he earn, her relationship with the child the husband had with white woman before they got married, her relationship with the husband siblings, were she stay with her husband if he is in Nigeria, how much he send for feeding and so on! embassy also ask her a tricky question if she will go to Germany if they only Grant her visa and denied her 6 months old baby. According to her she called someone who had second interview that have cross over to Germany who told her the likely ask questions and she discuss them with the husband and anyone that both of them did not discuss and she doesn't know the right answer to it, she just said I don't know to avoid providing guess ànswer. She said second interview are usually tougher than first interview note: you and your spouse will be interview at same time make sure your answers correspond
If everything goes well with the second interview it doesn't take time before you are ask to submit insurance.
Above all you need prayer


Thank you very much brother. This will help.

I am suspecting is a second interview, did your home office also give you appointment for the same date? A friend of mine got such letter from the embassy last year. All you need to do now is to calm down and look for someone who has gone for second interview before to tell your wife the likely ask questions and also go through the copy of the Visa and questionnaire form she filled when she went for her interview. The letter means embassy is not satisfied with a particular area in her visa matter.

I just got a letter today inviting me for interview too by my foreign office. Same day and time with my wife.

Can you help me ask your friend what was it all about ? And how did it go ?

If possible, link me to him so he can gimmi some tips.

Thanks

I also suspected that it’s a second interview but needed to confirm. I have been in a heated argument with the Ausländerbehöde here for the past 3 months. So they didn’t contact me again. Alas they have responded the embassy.


Meanwhile, have anyone gone for a second interview ? What as it like ?

Secondly, how long from second interview to getting your visa ?

Thanks

There is no such thing as approval mail on the as the heading.

The heading would be your surname and a reference number generated by them.

Then Dear Sir/Madam,

In your above mentioned visa matter you are requested to bring your passport, insurance, courier envelope and travel dates. Meanwhile, they didn't request for insurance from me but I put it.

Your travel dates should not be earlier than 7, 10 or 14 days as your case may be.

Regards.

However, your case may be different. They may require another interview or need her presence. She should do as she is told.



Thanks, I just want to know the reason for the email. If they require another interview from her after 11 months, then it’s just funny how they treat us.

I mean, why would I need to verify my marriage? Why these suffering ?

This wasn’t like this 5 years ago, everything was easy and smooth.
I wonder what changed suddenly?

Hello Goodpm everyone
Don't know what is d delay all about with german embassy, appointment was November, Lawyer visited since january and am yet to get verification complete mail and they havent contact my husband as well .
Any idea on what to do , this long wait to hear from them is killing oooo,
1. One year to get appointment
2. Separating spouse, only God dey safe our marriage
3. And just putting us on hold without any response from them its really unfair to us

I have been waiting for 28 months now.

Took us 16 months to get date cos of Covid, now, my wife did interview since May last year, nothing still.

It’s been a hell of a ride.

Pls, ppl who have been contacted by the embassy lately for visa approval, did your email have an ‚Approval Mail‘ (AM mail) as the heading or embassy just asked you to come with your passport? And no travel insurance was also requested.

Again, was anyone asked to come at a given date or visa will be denied.

My wife got such manner of email today and it’s confusing what that means.

Just an email requesting her to come on a particular day and time.

Good morning people.

I have a situation at hand please. My interview was August, 2021. I submitted a DHL envelope with my documents same August.

Last week, I was asked to submit my passport and courier envelope. I only submitted my passport and insurance. I didn't submit another envelope because I had submitted one before. I can't track my envelope.

Please help me answer this question o. I'm so worried.

I called the DHL to help me but they said the envelope is obsolete and that I cannot use it again.

Has anyone used a courier envelope that is seven months old with the embassy before? Will they deliver my documents?

Or do I need to get another one?


Kindly send in another envelope or write the embassy that you can come pick up ur visa yourself. Tell them date. They have to reply you. The reply will grant you access to the gate

I have a colleague here in Germany who is from Tanzania and has been trying to bring his wife to join him, they face the same problem. Truth is Germany do this to everyone National that are not from the US, Switzerland, the UK and other European countries. It’s not just to Nigerians only.
And it’s mandatory for other Nationals that are not native German speakers to undertake their integration courses before residing fully in Germany.

This is not totally true.
Cameronians bring their spouses as fast as three months from application.

We are in the same situation. The Aüslanderamt said they have processed my wife's application since November 22nd. We have not heard anything from the Consulate since then despite several emails to them. I am having a feeling that they don't want to issue reunion visas to spouses of students. Ours has been pending for over 2 years also.

Seem so intentional and unprofessional from their end. This is a sad situation I must admit.

If you call the embassy they will tell you to contact the courier, when you call the courier, they won’t be able to help you without your tracking number which even if you still have it, it wont be valid anymore since it’s more than 6 months.
When you are too in a hurry with hot blood, you can visit the embassy during working hours so that man at the gate can give you cold water to drink.
But in all, I got my documents back within 21 days after submission. My advice is just be patient. You can book your ticket when you have gotten your visa.
Your visa is usually 3months visa.

My wife did her interview in May, finished with lawyer in June, however, I changed school and city and submitted everything back to Embassy in October. The Ausländerbehörde Said they were done with their procedure October but we re yet to get hear anything from the embassy. Is anyone having this issue?
We have sent email and embassy is not even minding us anymore.
What other alternatives does one have ? Any solution? It’s been 2 years of waiting

2. His date of birth( she asked this repeatedly)
3. What his occupation is
4. Where he works
5. The city he lives in
6. His house address
7. Where he was born
8. If he is a graduate
9. How much he earns
10. If he has any child
11. Where we had our statutory marriage
12. The date of our traditional marriage, white wedding and court wedding..
13. She also went through my pictures and asked who some persons in it are to me
14. She also asked how i met my husband, if we became friends before marriage or we married immediately we met.
15. She asked how often we speak on phone.
Questions plenty sha, can't remember all
Hope this helps

My spouse got appointment date after 15 months of wait. The link that accompanied the email got me confused. There is more like no pdf to download to fill in form, you would fill online then download. I want to be sure ist same thing everyone has or I am doing it wrongly.
Secondly, the checklist didn’t indicate investigation money just 80 euros of visa fee.
Pls how much is investigation money again ?

Please House N/L . I really need a help because I’m confused. I went to the embassy September 2020 for my interview (marriage visa ) . After the interview I gave my passport to the man who interviewed me , he said if there is any other thing I would want to use the passport for and I said no ,so I gave him the passport plus the documents . Last week I got an email from the embassy that I should come and summit my passport and print out the mail which they sent to me. 1 . My passport would expire May , is the message indirecting telling me that I have to do a new passport . 2 . I’m I going for another interview because I don’t understand why they want me to come personally at the embassy?


Most definitely yes, you can also email them for clearity and tell them your passport is with them. If need the old one to get a new one, kindly request for the pick up of old passport and do it ASAP

You are only qualified for a re-union visa, if you have unbefristet Aufenthaltstitel. This is not your case.

Your 18 month visa is only valid for you to look for job so that you can qualify for the Blue Card/ employment visa.

You are not going to get the 18 month residence permit issued at once, They will split your 18 month into two.

It is not wise to start any reunion visa process but your wife might apply independently for a German student visa.

Students do bring their spouses. I have seen many, so, the unbefristet permit you Said that is the only Qualifikation to bring a spouse is not totally true.

Good day ppl. I have some important questions.

I am done with studies but have not applied for my 18 months. However, we applied for reunion March last year, yet to get a date. From the look of things, it takes min 6 months for visa to be granted. Would this be an issue ? I mean, that I am done with school?

2. my wife has gained admission already and would be starting online classes with hope that she switches when she arrives to physical class. Is it wise to let either the Ausländerbehörde or the embassy to know about her plan to further studies when she arrives?

3. I plan on leaving germany at the Time she would be arriving, in a case where she’s needs to extend visa, can she be den recognize as a student or she would be asked to leave ?

Thanks for you input

Family / Re: Left Us. After Eight Years, He's Back And Had Nothing by Mrbigman1(m): 9:36am On Sep 29, 2020
Divanona:
Eight years ago, with tears in my eye, I held his hand, begged him to stay with me that we will struggle together and succeed, but he refused. He walked away living me pregnant. Now, he's back without anything.

We were friends from the University, I graduated before him because I was studying a 4years course. The very first time, we tried to take our relationship serious was after my graduation. We had s.e.-x for the very first time and I became pregnant.
The truth is, the guy have always been good to me throughout my stays in school.
I remembered that day he sacrificed his school fees for mine so I could be able to do my final clearance. But when I became pregnant, he walked away after convincing me to keep our baby.
I went through everything all by myself.
Since last year, he has been apologizing on phone, so last week, I asked him to come. He traveled down to my place. Without being afraid of anyone harming him from my family, he believed in me and came. He's around in my family house, staying in my brother's room for the past 3days.
He has opened up everything to me, my family members and have apologized.

now, I'm so confused with my life.

He couldn't graduate, he had problem in school after I left and all this years, he has been struggling, but now he wants to take responsibility and be with us, but he had nothing. No certificate, except diploma which he later did from another school, no job, no place of his own to stay. He had nothing. He wants us to get married and have a family.


I feel I'm about to add more burden to my already stressed life.
The only positive thing here now, is the excitement my son is having seeing his father and the relationship they're building.

A part of me wants to see this guy have a great life and have direction and not see him live like this, even if I don't settle down with him. because when I meant him, he was kind, a good person, he had dreams, vision and good plans.
But living us alone all this years, with all his explanations, I'm not contented.

Another part of me is confused, afraid and I feel ishould push him away and let him go back to his life and keep moving with my son because I don't have the strength to shoulder all these.

Please matured mind in the house, what do you have to say? This is my life and it's getting more confused.
What would you advise? What should I do?
I don't want to make more mistakes.

Sorry for my lengthy write-up


Don’t ever try take him back out of pity, pity is not love, he would leave again when head ways are not forthcoming.

He can come see his son and have relationships with him but pls move ahead. You can help him if you can but don’t kill yourself my dear

Hello all, my wife had her interview today. The interviewer told her that the verification by the lawyer is not needed because our marriage has already been verified (I changed my marital status here in my city earlier this year and it took 2 weeks before it was done because they verified it). Who else has had such experience? Thanks.

Please, how did you do that?

You just went to city with ur certificate to register that you were married or Ausländerbehörde?
Is there any other process you added save from submitting?
