In my opinion, I want to believe that he dumped Labour Party for APC because of Ifeanyi Ubah who unfortunately died on the same day he dumped LP.

He had no choice than to make a u- turn

Hello everyone, good day, the last time I posted on this platform, I was waiting for my German student Visa, after almost 2years of waiting I am now residing here in Germany. God has been good, it's not been easy but it's super worth it.

So now I am trying to bring my husband and my son to Germany as a student, we have almost gotten everything ready except for getting an apartment. But I still have some questions especially as to the financial proof for my family. When I wrote the consulate in Nigeria asking about the funds for my family I was informed that the sum for both of them will be €8400 for both of them.

So please my questions are to other students who have gone through the family reunion process;
1. Will I need to open another blocked account in my Partners Name or I can use mine?
2. Will I also need to complete my own Blocked Account for 1year as well to submit to the consulate when submitting my documents i.e (€11,200 + €8,400) making it [€19,600][/b]?
because I'm sincerely confused, as I have only been able to raise the funds for only them and I don't have mine just yet.


Please help a sister, Biko.

Congratulations on your student visa after a long wait.

You have to open a block account in your husband's name and block the required amount in there.

If you have no need for extension of your residence permit, there will not be a need to block for yourself.

My advice for you is to get a student job. When your landratsamt contacts you, they will ask you for evidence of income or block account. Give them your work contract and ask them how much more money you need to block for your husband and baby.

With this they will calculate and tell you the amount to block which will be very small to what ever you were imagining.

I wish you good luck

Thank you for this information. We the November gang are patiently waiting

nikdam:

25th August 2023 - We got an email from the embassy, informing us of her Visa appointment.

19th September 2023 - Family Reunion Visa Appointment

13th October 2023 - I got an email from the Immigration office in Germany to submit my documents

30th November, 2023 - I submitted all the documents

1st December 2023 - Got an update from the Immigration office that their response has been sent to the embassy in Nigeria

4th December: She got the Approval mail and was asked to send her passport and travel insurance

5th December 2023 - She sent her passport and travel insurance

13th December 2023 - Got her passport back.

We paid for verification, but none was done, and we're yet to get a refund. I got my Blue Card after her appointment but before I submitted all my documents. For those still waiting for theirs, I hope everything go well for you.

Happy new year 🙂

The information was from the embassy. I got similar email like the one posted by blackforester. Interesting, my wife also applied in November.

Thank you bro for your response. This is not a good one for me

Thank you for your response. I am just feeling pained. But what can I do

Blackforester:
The message below was received on October 30, 2023 (bold emphasizes mine).

Dear Applicant.

 

We are sorry but the waiting time for an appointment in her category is over one and a halve year now.

It is not possible at this moment to give a more precise prediction.

The reasons are the number of registrations and the shortage of staff.

I regret not being able to give you a better answer.

 

 

Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Best regards,

 

 

Consulate-General of the Federal Republic of Germany Lagos

I don't think there's any special consideration for partners of DAAD/Humboldt fellows anymore. The waiting time is now 18 months.

Merry Christmas to everyone

Please how did you get this information about the waiting period before 18 months?

I applied for a family reunion visa in November 2022, and I am hoping they call us very soon.

MeineMutter:
Exactly. Research! Don’t just do a few ‘negotiation’ with them and see yourself as a macho-man negotiator.
The carpenter guy is ready to swi.ndle you.

Don’t just throw your money at those people, except May be you didn’t sweat for the money.

I knew they would come after that post.
Few years ago I negotiated price for the installation of aluminium window in a project in Kajola, I was surprised with the quality of frame that they used for me. Unfortunately I had to start afresh.

During lintel I provided 12mm rod and allowed the so called engineer to continue with his work. After lintel, I was lucky to be there when they wanted to put additional blocks after the lintel.

Immediately they put blocks on the lintel, everything collapsed and threw the mason on the floor. After medical attention, we checked and behold no iron rod was used for the lintel. That was how we brought down the entire lintel not so surprising, they stole the iron rod and did my lintel without iron because I was not there and I had no one to supervise them.


With my two projects ongoing in the East,I only negotiate labour with them and buy my materials. It is better I spend more money and get quality than to give the so called artisans money to buy materials for me.

As always they will condemn what I bought but I will always tell them to use it or they should go.

I learned in a hard way and I can't trust them again with buying of materials for me.

Mopricelezz:
I heard they are still inviting August 2022 applicants.

This is serious.

Thank you so much

Use and dump

He has finished using them for the election.

When their number royalty threatened a particular region with the lagoon, most people thought he was joking.

Now he has unleashed his JuJu and many people are jumping into the lagoon.

Fortunately, the targeted tribe has been avoiding the lagoon since then.

May God have mercy

Nice information

On May 1, 2018 I was traveling from Lagos to. On getting to Ondo state, many cars were doing a U-turn and unfortunately we were on high speed

Our driver applied brakes and couldn’t control the engine. Our vehicle went off and the driver abandoned us and ran away

Lo and behold it was the Fulani boys.

I thank God almighty because I was given another opportunity to live.

Yoruba‘s should have had a better candidate in Osinbajo but they choose City boy.

I am seeing every odd against him.

What exactly did he come back to do?

When I thought we already had one problem less.

Anyways welcome

Nice update from you. I wish you more strength.

Far from your tribalistic mindset. He is Boring as a priest. He served in our parish under a Yoruba parish priest and Igbo dominated congregation singing Igbo songs, Yoruba songs and even Akwa Ibom catholic songs and even Edo songs and every one was happy.

Just a little over 2 years he was a Parish Priest he has started showing his true colors.

Igbo domination in Catholic Church has come to stay.

I and my family worship at Saint Monika Catholic Church Munich and our service is in Igbo language. Our parish priest is from Mbaise.

We sing, pray and preach in Igbo language and Oyibos join us when they wish.

Nigeria will never be ok with people like you and Priests like Fr James Anelu

Newton85:
He's a boring priest because he doesn't want the non-Eboes in his parish feel left out? How can your people be rendering services exclusively in Eboe when there are non-Eboes in the same church? Does it make any sense to you?

I know him from Our Lady Queen of Peace Catholic Church Ifako Gbagada.

I am not surprised. He is a boring priest.

Through Nairaland I got all the necessary informations I needed that helped me escape from Nigeria through Studies

I will never forget so many wonderful people who were ready to answer my questions then.

Thank you Nairaland

Op you did not mention tinted permit

Please what is the process of obtaining a tinted permit in Lagos

From the write up I can understand that the drivers are only interested in Uber and Taxify increasing the transportation fares so that they will get more money.

We are always selfish and I am very sure that this will fail from ab initio because as they leave the platform of Über and Taxify, more drivers will definitely get onboard and I am 10000% sure that the so called local app can never compete with the established companies

Nice one. Thank you so much

ndewogermany:
you have to be diplomatic as well. The German embassy is very cunny. You also have to play their games.
1. I believe you know what to write her. Just write an epistle of love story in MS word and later convert it to PDF
2. be very diplomatic here, Germans never answer questions directly cos of legal reasons. I do not know what you told them during your student visa, but most people always jam talk by saying they will further with PHD and come back to Nigeria to impact their knowledge. So the best thing to answer here should be that " at the moment you need your family to be close to you to enable you focus on your studies and long distance relationship is having an effect on your studies" . By saying this, your not being direct and they cant quote you out of context in the future.
3. Get a block account and send it to them.
4. Rent a bigger space. each adult is 12m3 . so do your calculation by the number of families you have . GERMANS do not care about the number of space. they care about the size of the apartment.

Ok thank you

Oriaku1:
Nooooo tell them you will leave after your studies.

Thank you so much

DHA10:
To me it's better you tell them you will leave after your studies. Cos they may not give you visa if you say otherwise. Many have been denied cos of this.

No wahala
Please do you suggest I tell them that I will leave Germany after my studies or should I tell them I want to stay back as requested in the number 2 item

Oriaku1:
Worried?? You shd be happy. Very happy, I think now the investigate u behind ur back which is best... Plz submit everything they ask u fast. All the best!!

Oriaku1:
