Finally the Lord has done IT!!!
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 !!!

It takes 3-4 weeks after your lawyer has submitted his report, for the consulate to send u an email dat ur identity has bin verify.

Now in the case of the foreign office, it does not have a specific time. Foreign office contacted my spouse 2 days after my lawyer visited dats like 4 weeks before I got the email dat my identity has bin verified. In some cases the foreign office invites their spouse aft the have gotten the email dat their identity has bin verified.

Josinobirian:
Please After the lawyer have returned the verification to the embassy how long does it take the embassy to inform you verification is completed

How long then will it take the foreigners office to contact my spouse ?

To YOU GLORY AND PRAISE FOREVER MY
LORD. My Timeline. . *Booked on January 17th 2020 *We went for interview on March 11th 2021 *Mail from the embassy on 17th march for my 2 sons to submit c1 German language certificate *Hubby hired immigration lawyer who wrote them on 25th march *April 9th Embassy waved c1 *Reason hubby is a citizen and the children did not need any requirement till they are 18yrs. *verification done on May 6th *verification completed mail June 6th and I was asked to re-do declaration of age and do change of name. *July 13th hubby received mail from foreign office for visa approval. *July 14th mail from Lagos to submit insurance, passports and date
*I submitted them on July 26th and
*July 30th our passports with visa stamp and our documents returned.
*To God be the glory.
Lessons Learnt pray and put your trust in God. Cos when we applied and found out that my boys will need c1 certificate I was totally down cos I knew it's a big problem. Even many of German teachers told me to cancel theirs and look for other means maybe through studies and pursue only mine. Reason being that the embassy will refuse us visa if the demand is not met .I almost yielded but my children refused insisted to go for the interview first. Till the lawyer wrote them I never knew that it was not needed according to their law. So my beloved people I wish every one of you good luck and pray that your wait will never be in vain. Always pray pray pray and pray it works. What God cannot do does not exist. At New 80 remain blessed forever for your's and every body's contribution.

Just as u said they used an immigration lawyer, dats d reason it went fast... My husband is a German too but we did Nigerian passport for our son 2 apply. whn we get 2 Germany we can apply for his German passport there cus d process is faster there. The embassy always ask ppl 2 apply 4 German passport 4 their kids knowing fully well it takes forever, your child has dual nationality so the child has d right to apply with Nigerian passport. Cuz is faster. A lot of ppl r in dis ship, applying 4 German passport from Nigeria is a long thing. May God help all of us!!!

Sorry abt this, it's so sad embassy takes forever to issue German passport, but I think is faster if u get a nigerian passport for d child and apply 4 d visa den whn u get to Germany u apply for German passport for the child cuz processing German passport from Nigeria takes forever.

@DHA10 thanks 4 ur time. my lawyer left 2 weeks ago, but I've not gotten any mail Dat my identity v been verified and my husband has bin contected .. So I don't know if d lawyer is done with me.




To my own knowledge, once they are through with his documents verification, the will send either approval mail for your visa or other wise to Lagos. Then the embassy will now contact you. The duration depends on how much documents the have on their desk maybe 1 or 2 months or even lesser depending. Just be very prayerful at this stage. Hope they are done with all your documents verification before contacting him?. Good luck


Hello,
Please how long does it take for d embassy to contact u after your husband has been and he has submitted everything they asked 4 in Germany , and what's next after that.
