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 !!!

Not everyone gets the verification completed mail. This does not mean they have not verified your identity.

As for your spouse, tell him to contact the migration office in his state. They will tell him the documents to bring.

You need to be very patient. The family reunion process takes a lot of time. For silly reasons too that is no fault of yours! Don't be too attached to it. It can lead you to depression. I almost entered one.

Ewatominiyi:
Thank you Sis
but my hubby haven't been called or mailed yet can he still contact the office in his state, and can i also mail the embassy here too.

Hello all and welcome to this thread. This new year, I believe a lot of people have resolutions and plans they intend to achieve this year and for the future. I am a strong believer in the saying "Knowledge (the right information) is Power" hence having the right information from people's experiences and legit sources can lead to the achievement of our goals.

Now, for those of us who are intending to migrate to Germany for work or family re-union purposes, it is very vital to get the right information on processes and guidance to successful acquiring of your visum (visa).

Here we go, first, it will be very important to visit the German Consulate official website, try to know the legit site as opposed to third-party, clone sites, or random Google site results. The official site of the German Consulate in Nigeria is https://nigeria.diplo.de, there you can find a lot of information regarding types of visas, booking appointments, and requirements.

I believe there are Nigerians out there in Germany who have gone through this process in the past few years that can share their experience with us, which is always helpful. I have questions and well as I can answer questions of my journey to this stage, I have also been able to share and answer questions on other threads that can help.

So let's begin this journey by helping each other one question and answer at a time for the right information is the power that will help us achieve our goals.

Thank you.

Ganesass:


People who have waited enough don't usually ask these questions lol

To answer you, your spouse should just walk in or email the auslanderbehorde in his city.

Ewatominiyi:
Thank you Sis

Has anyone here ever filed for an appeal at the Administrative Court in Berlin before? How long does it take and what is the process like? The immigration office in my city wants to deny my wife's application because I am a student despite knowing several students whose spouses have joined them on reunion visas. Has anyone (student) experienced such before? Your general advice are really needed right now as My wife and I are emotionally and psychologically drained
I have submitted a rental contract, unlimited work contract, payslips and even a blocked account confirmation of €10,300!. My city is Bonn!

Sorry about what you are going through.

If you don't mind could you specify what Programm those students who successfully reunited with their spouses are into?

From what i know, a Student going for BSC or MSC Programm can't file for a family reunion visa.
I stand to be corrected though.

From what i know, a Student going for BSC or MSC Programm can't file for a family reunion visa. A PHD Student on the contrary has that added advantage.
I stand to be corrected though.

Perhaps the acquaintances who succeeded in reuniting with their spouses, were all PHD Students or there are other untold key details in their Story.

All the best.

Hello, Good Peope,
Thank you for your contribution to this thread so far.
As anyone recently applied for the blue card with a job offer in tech(Fullstack software engineer)? but without a University degree in Physical science?
The salary is about 70k PA. I have my first degree in Microbiology, but I'm not sure if this qualifies for a blue card application and approval.
I would really appreciate any feedback or information. Thank you

bamdexfarms:


BSc and MSc students also file for family reunion as far as they are legally married. In fact, all the fellow students I know are either Bsc of Masters students.

Ahmed4002:



Regardless of what programme you are .

As Msc student you can file for family reunion and you would be granted.

But it's much easier if you hold any of the EU scholarship programme example DAAD.

A self sponsored Msc student family reunion is though very difficult without any of the EU scholarship, but still you would granted if you fulfill all the criteria.

Its time consuming and only for the strong mind's

BigBoy123:
Which Germany? Cause I know so many master's students that were rejected family reunion visa. Only PhD students get approved. If you find people, then it must not be Nigerians.

realjay2000:

Oh no, I personally know about 4 families.

One lady (Bsc) - her husband got her in our 3rd semeter in the heat of the corona sef.

One guy (Bsc)

And 2 guys (masters)

Their families are here with them today.
And all Nigerians

One thing with Germany is that's most factors are determined by who you meet, your city.
