Publicdust:
Some of my documents are not yet ready. Can I submit now using something like a placeholder and re-edit during preliminary?

Yes. Upload your passport data page in place of any document not yet available. Then gather them and keep, during the preliminary review, you'll now be asked to upload the correct one

Tifay:
Appointments are now available.

2 slots just opened in early June. Be quick about it.

Yes oo. 9th of June is the only available slots though. Just booked mine now

Appointments are available now if anyone is looking to book one. Also, does anyone know whether people who had their interviews around February and March have received a decision yet? The latest updates I’ve seen here seem to be from January.

Yes, someone who did interview in March has got decision. Visa Approved

Have you been called now?

Wow, that's crazy.

Were you given till yesterday as the deadline to upload missing documents? If so, after you uploaded the documents, did you press send/submit for review? Also, what time did you submit, was it early in the day?

@cyberbro

I was given 30days to upload missing documents,
After uploading the documents, I pressed submit for review
I submitted early in the day,like past 9AM

Take a look at the screenshot you uploaded. You submitted 4 out of the 7 required documents. Are you sure that's not where the issue is coming from?

From what you wrote, I am inferring that you submitted on the last day of the deadline - that's a major issue cos you don't know if the last day still counts. Also as someone pointed out above, did you submit ALL the required documents? The only time I've seen people getting kicked out of the portal is for incomplete submission or failure to provide supporting documents at the appropriate time.

Guess the best bet now is to mail the embassy and see what they have to say about your case. Most likely, you would be told to start over... hard pill to swallow, but that's a very likely outcome.

Brotherly I really appreciate your response,

I submitted my documents on the third day with about 27days left.

All documents requested were submitted.

They responded within the span of 12hours

Ok, that's a clearer picture. They must have kicked you out for reasons best known to them cos I haven't come across such before.
Best bet is to send them an email and ask why you were disqualified from the application portal.

Thank you so much,

I observed that in my application (VIDEX)

In the place of stay of purpose:I choose employment because there was no option for opportunity card.

Can this be a reason

How come your screenshot is saying 4/7 documents were submitted?

The purpose of stay in the videx (chancenkarte portal) is OTHERS, then you write "Job Search" or "To search for Employment"

That's as much as I remember from the last application I did on behalf of someone and it worked out.

Sincerely, I am still confused because I confirmed all documents before sending for reveiw

Damn it! Have you written them a mail yet?

Laryfrosh:

Yes, I have sent a mail

I'll tell you what I suspect to have happened having been through a deleted profile before.

First question I'll ask is where did you get the message or idea that you had 30 days left?.

It is likely that the 30 days is from the day they sent the response and not when you saw it.

The portal doesnt notify you immediately they respond - There is 24 - 48 hour window minimum before you get the email prompt. Unfortunately, you didnt account for this.

Another thing you could and should have done was to actually look at the comment in their response. They normally and would possibly put the date it would expire and be deleted there. It's very easy to miss if you dont actively look for it. Sometimes, the comment is in the additional documents section and not the compulsory one so you could have missed it. I will attach so you can see what i'm saying. We also learned this the hard way

I think your best bet now is to call and email them but I doubt that may be useful at this point as we've not seen them reinstate a deleted profile, maybe they have but no one here has mentioned it before. Your best option is to probably start again and also mail them with your circumstances asking them for a fast-track
