Good evening, everyone. Please, I have a question regarding change of name. I applied for family reunion using my maiden surname, which is the name on the passport I used for the application. However, I have now changed my surname to my husband’s name.

Do you think it’s advisable to obtain a new international passport bearing my current (married) name, even though my present passport is still valid for another 20 months? Also, can the visa be issued in my new name if I submit the new passport?

If you have done an affidavit for a change of name due to marriage and also have the newspaper publication, i think you do not need to be too concern about changing your name on your passport.
The visa will be issued in your maiden name

Appointment is faster for this last 2 months oh, we love it, maybe. there are not a lot of people that applied...

But we sha love it.
Re: General German Work And Family Re-union Visa Enquiries by KingThomas1(m): 7:13pm On Oct 20, 2025
Lol, yes oo. We applied this year so journey still far.

Would be great if perhaps they could put more effort in making the process / system a bit more transparent. For example, how many applications are currently in the waiting list?

They could also consider sending reminders to the waiting list participants. I'm sure there are some people that do not necessary need it anymore, that way it'd hopefully reduce the waiting time.

you are right, i think 2years ago they sent an email that if you still interested click this click so that they can remove the people who didn't click the link. it would be nice if they do it again so that it reduce the waiting list further.

Hi
Please have you been given your visa
Did that law firm help you get the visa on time?

Hello, all

I had my interview yesterday, this is the document checklist they currently operate with. You must arrange your documents in this order from the gate

No need to take photocopies of no. 1, 2 & 3. The man at the gate (not Paulinus) said they no longer ask for that
From no. 9 is where he started asking for photocopy + original

Also attached is an important notice for those who have their interviews soon

Re: General German Work And Family Re-union Visa Enquiries by drizzt27: 9:24pm On Oct 30, 2025
Yeah, I applied June 30th 2023, got appointment Aug 2025....
Got my visa today after much stress of bringing this and that document....

Pls take note oh. When asked to bring insurance, it is d number of months ur insurance is valid that u will be given visa.
For eg... U submit 3 months insurance u get 3 months family reunion visa, same for 6 months.
And if per adventure u submitted 3 months insurance, don't panic. So long as u are given family reunion visa u are okay. Just make sure u go apply for ur residence permit when u get into germany cos it takes approximately 6 to 8 weeks to get an appointment. So u still can extend ur visa validity no stress.
Thanx.
