Please i am trying to understand something. So you went for your interview October 2019, and wrote your A1 Exam December 2018. That means as at when you went for your interview your A1 result still had about two(2) months validity? I actually thought once you go for your interview, as far as your A1 result has not expired on the day of your interview you are fine, even if the A1 certificate has less than a month to expiry on your interview day.

Because if i understand you, you wrote another A1 after your Interview, even though you took a valid A1 certificate to the embassy on your Interview date. They still told you to go and write another A1?

Exactly o l thought once l go for interview and d result is still valid ,I won't rewrite it..yes mine still had 2 months before it expires ..and it was only in September 2020 l got a mail that l should get a new A1 ..Goethe was still closed den ..had to send a mail and proof that it was really urgent ..wen Goethe started exams late September ,dey sent a mail l shud cum and write which l did and passed..got my certificate October 5th 2020 and l took it straight to d embassy for submission

asamwababy:


I thought i was the only one that noticed this.

To be honest this is gross incompetency on the path of the embassy.

I submit a valid docs to you in the course of an application with date of appointment of interview fixed at your own convenience, and you come back to ask me for another valid A1 again.

This is the height of it all.All this incompetence needs to be tabled before the consulate.

ndewogermany:


The truth is embassy does not want you in Germany. Family reunion to them is not adding anything to their economy especially for Nigerians. I put up a tweet and nobody retweeted that. When we are ready for a change, a change will come. We are not ready. The A1 certificate is just a way to frustrate you the more. By next year, they will introduce B1 certificate for family reunion to make it impossible to enter through family reunion. Then when you did not complain, they will reintroduce another B2 and so on untill you give up and never dream of going to Germany

For those of us that were asked to submit a new goethe certificate and have not been able to because of the closing down of the school, ghana starts their exam reg tomorrow, you can as well write the exam there cos no one knows when goethe would be ready to set another exam as for now.

doctormaliko:


Hi @nolia66, does this mean that the embassy has reached out to you again since after your lawyer reached out to do your verification?

If yes, that's some good news for those that did interviews post lockdown

BigBoy123:
Does having admission for a master's degree help in the Family Reunion process? I had admission for masters this winter but I deferred it till next year winter, should I add this to my application to my Family Reunion application? My appointment should come around January/Feb

Congratulations!!! @toystars

Where you called for interview at Berlin or documents were just submitted via mail due to the pandemic?

Alore:
House, please I am trying to apply for the family reunion for my wife and three kids that are all minor.

It seems I only need to apply for appointment date for only my wife with only her passport details. Can anybody please help me confirm that this is the right thing to do? I guess the children details will be in the form that will be filled and taken to the Embassy on the day of the interview.

Thanks for taking a time to answer my enquiries.
