For German embassy. You don't need an agent ,it is do it yourself. Go to their website and search for your own related visa information. You can also check Youtube you might get some info there too.Check if you have the requirements and all. If he needs to get A1 certificate.

Pls those who went/going through this route kindly assist this person. 👆👆👆

Hello!! I think your husband should reach out to his ABH and ask them. They may have so much work or the person that handles his file is on holiday. Hopefully, the request is on their desk.

I don’t really know much about German work visa, but what I do know is German embassy doesn’t work with any agency. No matter what they tell you, they have no influence on getting a ‘faster’ appointment for you. The most they can do is tell you the documents to gather, and that’s an info you can search for yourselves on your own by simply making enquires. If you have a lot of money to spend sha, you can use agent. I just see it as an unnecessary waste.

They booked appointment 19th of June 2022, and received their appointment email (containing their interview date) on the 11th of August 2023. I think that’s what he meant

Re: General German Work And Family Re-union Visa Enquiries by UCEKE: 11:20pm On Aug 16, 2023
Good evening,

Below is my update.

I applied to the Family reunification visa in Nov, 2021.

I received Appointment mail in Dec 2022

Had my interview on the 11th of Jan, 2023.

During the interview I was asked to pay for verification(150,000), which i paid.

I didn’t receive any message from the Embassy but in March 2023, KVR sent a message via post to my spouse requesting for some documents which include 12months house contract, Work permit, payslip, some documents from my spouse place of work and legalized marriage certificate.

We submitted the document on the 15th of March, 2023 and we didn’t hear anything from both KVR and the embassy.

In June 2023, KVR sent a mail to my spouse stating that we are yet to submit the document they requested for and asked us to send it via mail even though we had previously sent it via post but they couldn’t find it.

On the 25th of June, 2023, we sent all the documents via mail and we didn’t hear from them.

I called the embassy to follow up the issue and they told my the i should wait for my lawyer that they assigned a lawyer to me while my spouse kept calling KVR but we couldn’t reach them.

In July 2023 we received another from KVR stating that the legalized marriage certificate we sent was not what they wanted and we should send a legalized marriage certificate.

We became confused because we had our marriage at the federal registry. So because of the request they sent in March, 2023, I took the color photocopy of our marriage certificate to Ministry of Foreign Affairs to legalize it and also took it to a notary public lawyer to notarize it and I then sent it to my spouse but KVR rejected it.

When we received their mail in July 2023, the requested we send the legalized document according to German standard before 1st of August or our Visa will be rejected.

I called and sent a mail to the German embassy in Nigeria and the respond stating that I should tell the KVR that such condition is not applicable to us and that I have paid for verification fee but because we didn’t want to take chances, we contacted an immigration lawyer.

So in July 2023, we reached out to an immigration lawyer and narrated our issue after paying him. We shared all the documents we submitted and also the mail response I received from the Embassy. So he sent a power of Attorney for me to sign and he took over the matter. He contacted KVR and the Embassy in Nigeria. But before then we had already sent the mail from the embassy to KVR with our August house rent.

Note: During this period my language certificate have expired and I had to rewrite in July in case they request for it because I was told during the interview that if it expires, that I will need a valid one before they will stamp my visa. So I had to rewrite it and I passed.

Also, because they KVR insisted that the house contract must be a 12month contract, we had to rent another house to take care of that.

On the 3rd of August, 2023, I received requesting for my spouse resident permit and my lawyer was copied.

I respond on the 4th of August 2023 to their request.

On the 8th of August, I received a mail requesting for my passport, insurance and travel date. Then they also stated that I should come and collect the 150,000 that I paid. Note: my spouse if not a Daad scholar neither did we submit a blue card. They also copied my lawyer.

My lawyer sent a mail to the embassy on the 9th of August, 2023 stating that am not in Lagos and it will be expensive for me to come and collect the 150,000 and demanded that a third party should collect it. Then he attached a power of attorney which the third party will come with to collect the money. The embassy replied and agreed for a third party to come and pick the money upon presentation of an ID with the letter.

I submitted it to DHL of the 9th of August, 2023 and it was delivered to them on the 10th of August, 2023.

On the 15th of August 2023, my cousin went and collected the money on my behalf after presenting the power of Attorney and his ID.

On the 16th of August 2023 by 4:30pm, I received a call from Fedex that I have a package from the German Embassy and it was delivered to my door step.

This is a summery of my Journey.

It was not an easy Journey but am glad it is over.

All road lead to Munich

Over 7months no word from the embassy. No lawyer visitation since January.😓😓😓. This is so heartbreaking.

It maybe that the Home Office is the one delaying your application. Maybe the discoverer you don’t need the verification.

Ok but what does the acronym stand for? For example :
A-Ausleänder BH-Behorde.

Please do you also know why you didn't have lawyer visitation? Thanks for your response.

Of a truth, I don’t know.

I think what shorten the process towards the ending was the involvement of the immigration lawyer.

I was expecting lawyer visitation but I never saw any rather they started contacting my spouse for documents. There was no reason for no lawyer visitation.

Good evening,

Below is my update.

I applied to the Family reunification visa in Nov, 2021.

I received Appointment mail in Dec 2022

Had my interview on the 11th of Jan, 2023.

During the interview I was asked to pay for verification(150,000), which i paid.

I didn’t receive any message from the Embassy but in March 2023, KVR sent a message via post to my spouse requesting for some documents which include 12months house contract, Work permit, payslip, some documents from my spouse place of work and legalized marriage certificate.

We submitted the document on the 15th of March, 2023 and we didn’t hear anything from both KVR and the embassy.

In June 2023, KVR sent a mail to my spouse stating that we are yet to submit the document they requested for and asked us to send it via mail even though we had previously sent it via post but they couldn’t find it.

On the 25th of June, 2023, we sent all the documents via mail and we didn’t hear from them.

I called the embassy to follow up the issue and they told my the i should wait for my lawyer that they assigned a lawyer to me while my spouse kept calling KVR but we couldn’t reach them.

In July 2023 we received another from KVR stating that the legalized marriage certificate we sent was not what they wanted and we should send a legalized marriage certificate.

We became confused because we had our marriage at the federal registry. So because of the request they sent in March, 2023, I took the color photocopy of our marriage certificate to Ministry of Foreign Affairs to legalize it and also took it to a notary public lawyer to notarize it and I then sent it to my spouse but KVR rejected it.

When we received their mail in July 2023, the requested we send the legalized document according to German standard before 1st of August or our Visa will be rejected.

I called and sent a mail to the German embassy in Nigeria and the respond stating that I should tell the KVR that such condition is not applicable to us and that I have paid for verification fee but because we didn’t want to take chances, we contacted an immigration lawyer.

So in July 2023, we reached out to an immigration lawyer and narrated our issue after paying him. We shared all the documents we submitted and also the mail response I received from the Embassy. So he sent a power of Attorney for me to sign and he took over the matter. He contacted KVR and the Embassy in Nigeria. But before then we had already sent the mail from the embassy to KVR with our August house rent.

Note: During this period my language certificate have expired and I had to rewrite in July in case they request for it because I was told during the interview that if it expires, that I will need a valid one before they will stamp my visa. So I had to rewrite it and I passed.

Also, because they KVR insisted that the house contract must be a 12month contract, we had to rent another house to take care of that.

On the 3rd of August, 2023, I received requesting for my spouse resident permit and my lawyer was copied.

I respond on the 4th of August 2023 to their request.

On the 8th of August, I received a mail requesting for my passport, insurance and travel date. Then they also stated that I should come and collect the 150,000 that I paid. Note: my spouse if not a Daad scholar neither did we submit a blue card. They also copied my lawyer.

My lawyer sent a mail to the embassy on the 9th of August, 2023 stating that am not in Lagos and it will be expensive for me to come and collect the 150,000 and demanded that a third party should collect it. Then he attached a power of attorney which the third party will come with to collect the money. The embassy replied and agreed for a third party to come and pick the money upon presentation of an ID with the letter.

I submitted it to DHL of the 9th of August, 2023 and it was delivered to them on the 10th of August, 2023.

On the 15th of August 2023, my cousin went and collected the money on my behalf after presenting the power of Attorney and his ID.

On the 16th of August 2023 by 4:30pm, I received a call from Fedex that I have a package from the German Embassy and it was delivered to my door step.

This is a summery of my Journey.

It was not an easy Journey but am glad it is over.

All road lead to Munich
