okay. Is he also the one that investigate the files for forgery or is that the job of the visa officer

First, when applying for a visa, the receiving clerk checks if your documents are complete and all required fields are filled out correctly.

Next, they will look for any red flags, such as inconsistencies in your application or suspicious elements in your supporting documents.

They will then check various databases, including those from Nigerian departments such as Immigration and Police (and others, depending on the type of visa application), as well as international databases to see if you have been blacklisted, overstayed a visa, or if there are any other issues.

In general, they will verify the authenticity of your documents by contacting the relevant authorities.

After this initial screening, if you qualify, you will be scheduled for an interview with a Consular Officer.

The Consular Officer will make the final decision on your visa application, and you will be notified whether your visa has been granted or denied, along with the reasons for the decision.

Two weeks after the initial application or two weeks after being interviewed by the Consular Officer?

It is likely that your background check passed with no major red flags that would prevent you from being granted an interview with the Consular Officer.

A mutual friend was denied a study visa twice and was only granted it on the third attempt. I never asked why, so I have no details to share about that.

Just make sure you meet every requirement.

Which visa category did you apply for?

i applied for opportunity card..but i noticed something. Everytime they reject somebody they make reference to section 19f of residence act which contains ground to reject people based on differennt sections( "doubts visa is used for intended purpose". But opportunity card and family reunion were not mentioned. Does it mean if one meets all requirements for family reunion or opportunity card he cannot be denied visa for that common reason. Bear in mind job seeker visa was once among the various sections that were mentioned in section 19f, but job seeker has been annulled. I applied under opportunity card

Your application is straightforward. You are seeking an opportunity to go to Germany as a skilled worker, and right now, Germany seems to have a shortage of skilled workers and is actively encouraging and advertising to attract them.

Many people who get rejected want to go there for this reason but hide under the guise of other purposes. When discovered, it raises a red flag.

I believe you may only be denied if they feel you don’t have the necessary qualifications or the job industry you are targeting is already highly saturated.

Another friend, who went to Germany for work but used a student visa, is struggling to balance school and a job. If he can’t stay enrolled, he risks losing his visa.

At the moment, I believe he has stopped working to focus on his studies to avoid this.

Imagine having to pursue another undergraduate degree solely because of visa restrictions, and not being able to convert it to another visa type.

Just to clarify, my information about the German embassy and its processes isn’t based on firsthand experience but comes from what I’ve learned from a distant relative, two friends, and a few mutual friends .

I once considered moving to Germany but was discouraged due to the language barrier.

I can, though, pass your question to one of them and get back to you with an answer.

Anything in particular you are asking that I may not understand?

yes i understand. I want to share my screen and show you an observation. Then also seek your advise regarding what happened in my interview.

Hello house, Please I have a question to ask. My sister lives in Germany and she is pregnant and will be due in January, so she is inviting me and my 6 year old daughter to come and assist her for a month. However, my husband and I only married traditionally and have no formal marriage certificate, and part of the requirement for checklist is to provide a marriage certificate "if applicable". Does this really matter, and will my daughter's birth certificate suffice for it since her father's name is on her birth certificate? Please, your opinion will be appreciated. Thank you.

Savagethe21st:

I will have to ask.

Inviting you and your daughter?
Capital RED FLAG!
What happen to her mother? Mother in law?
If at the invita would fly , it has to be an elderly person (one).
Not claiming mother and child are coming to help.
Her Father and mother could fly, not two relatives.

This is wrong.
German embassy doesn’t screen you before calling you for interview.
You pick a date and show up for interview on the said date with your documents.
After filling a form online.
You can even cancel your application on the interview date because you are yet to pay.
If they check all the mentioned organizations said by you, why do some people get their visas in 2days?

Visa type applied for matters.

1. Everyone who actually uses German embassy knows students wait for Over a year to get appointment so definitely that wasn’t what this person was talking about.
2. Neither did he or she mention reunification.
3. It’s obvious that was a visit visa, rather than skip you went in giving wrong advice.
It’s the person taking the advice I pity.
