Hello everyone,

I read above where someone said he’s been called up for submission and he applied July 31st. I applied 29th July and still on waiting list.
Any ideas on what to expect coming weeks and documents to get? Also the SL I submitted have expired, should I start getting another one from my sponsor?
Thanks @all.

Date of creation is different from the day you submitted. I hope you know that? Did you submit on July 29th?

@laryfrosh, I submitted two days after I started the application.
Pls any ideas on sponsorship letter expired? Should I start getting another one or wait until I am called for submission?
Thanks

I really don't know anything about SL. Just hang on the thread. Someone will respond to you shortly.

Your date of creation shows 29th of July 2025, but your last edit shows 22nd of January 2026. Your last edit is what counts as having joined the waiting list. So it's either two things;

1. You have been asked to do the preliminary review, which is why you were able to edit and your last edit shows the date it's showing OR;

2. You did not submit in July 2025 and you probably just submitted in January. Which means you've just joined the waiting list in January.

Yes, you should. You would get denied if your sponsorship letter is older than 6 Months from the date of collection (Behind the SL). Organize with your sponsor to get a new one ASAP before you are asked to submit.

Ah! Calm down abeg o 😂
"Last edited" always get updated whenever you confirm your application every month 😂

I submitted my application on October 30th but my "last edited" is 31.01.2026, which was the last time I confirmed that I still have interest in the process.

On another note, when did you submit your own application? And hope your visa interview went well?

@Missmarola, the edit was requested to keep my application in the system, standard procedure I guess. So I did submit in July 2025. Thanks everyone for your response and guidance. I’ve initiated the process for a new SL- our heart desires shall come to fruition this year Amen.

Nice. Try as much as you can to speed up the process because you are most likely going to get called in less than 4 weeks.

I Just want to let you guys know that i have been contacted to submit my application… i joined the waiting list 4th August

The same to me August 6th.

My people I submitted without health insurance, believing they will call my attention for it and please how long can I process it?

Good evening guys, my guy who joined the waiting list on August 3rd last year has been asked to submit his documents for preliminary review, I say make I update this honourable house.

August guys are up, if you fall within this group, get ready.

Cheers!!!!

I don't think health insurance is necessary during preliminary review. You can go with it on your interview date

Good, but it takes you just few minutes to get health insurance and submit it along. . Best of luck.

Our August applicants, kindly keep us updated time to time. 🙏
May God grant all our hearts desires.

My full-time work contract documents were rejected and I was just giving 2days to respond.
After all this time waiting and hoping I may scale through and currently the time is too short to make alternatives

Sorry to read about that. Did they give you any specific reason for rejecting it? Perhaps you could still fix the issue?

Not the category of my visa application

Please can someone drop the Lagos embassy email so I can reach out to them

The opportunity card is not for full-time. For work, they’ll only accept a part-time job that meets the salary requirement.

I understand but the short time frame is not helping matters.

Please I really need their email address so I can appeal for time

Chai! This is sad! 😢
How long were you given to submit your application? I think they normally give 14 days?
If you've gone through the thread, you would have spotted it out that full time employment can't stand for Opportunity card. How do you get a BA or SL within 2 days now? 😕


Omooo! After all the wait!!! 😢

I think you meant “long time frame”.

You can’t appeal for a shorter time in the opportunity card category. Processing time for a work visa is faster. I’ll suggest you apply for that instead.

I was even giving 30days, enough time to arrange for an alternative and submit my application.

Please someone help me with their email?

Now that the dollar and euro are dropping drastically, it would have been to my favor

Opportunity card processing time is faster bro
It's only the EU Blue card visa that is quick.

I did the two national D work visa and opportunity card visa and until now, no hope on that route bro. The funny part is, it doesn't have a waiting time period. God knows till when

Please someone should assist with the email address of the embassy. @Singlefile you can also go through the thread. I think someone has dropped the email before on this thread.

Thank you, I have seen it and emailed them, hope for a quick response

So guys, I applied on July 31 last year. About two weeks ago, I was notifed to submit my application for review. I submitted it using my full-time work contract, but it was rejected. My formal obligation letter (sponsorship letter) was also rejected because it was not marked “NACHGEWIESEN.”

I was then given three options: either provide a blocked account, submit a formal obligation letter that is officially verified with the “NACHGEWIESEN” remark and specifically marked for the Opportunity Card, or obtain a part-time work contract instead of a full-time one, with a monthly salary of around €1,200 — not significantly higher and not lower. Getting the sponsorship verification can take quite a long time, depending on the German state where the sponsor applies. In my case, it took my sponsor several months.

I eventually chose the blocked account option and have now rejoined the preliminary review stage. The blocked account is the quickest and most straightforward path at this point. If you can afford it, it is probably the best option among the available choices.

Hello, if the embassy says a decision has been made, how long before it gets to your courier? I reached out to my courier and they said embassy hasn’t contacted them.

We both are in the same situation,
Please what do you mean that you have rejoined preliminary review instead of waiting list that I am seeing 1year?
