Finally my documents, passport with visa stamped has been received. I can't believe I'm typing this right now. I used to pray and wish for this day and God has done it for me.

Hello dear. My
husband is also a DAAD Scholar.
We were also given the letter from DAAD which we took to the interview also. The letter highlighted that
I would do my Deutsch kurz in Germany on arrival with the amount stated for which I am to use to enroll even to the highest level of I want.
So here's my breakdown but have it in my that everyone's application is different.

Email to apply for Visa: 3rd March 2022
Email with Appointment was sent to me: 16th March 2022
Appointment Date given to me: 6th April 2022
29th of April I got a mail to submit Affidavit of reconciliation of names for my Children
18th May I got a mail to send 150k for verification. Meanwhile I went with the money on my interview day but was told because my husband is a DAAD scholar I don't need to pay. But to my surprise I was asked to pay for it after a month.
I waited for the verification and got tired.
The greatest shock I received was an email to bring an A1 language Certificate on 6th September. I wasn't expecting this requirement cause I thought I wasnt supposed to submit that one since DAAD already said I will do it on arrival. But they insisted I submit the certificate. I registered for a Deutsch kurz online for 2months.
August 10th I got a call from a lawyer but the lawyer refused to come. He kept giving me excuses and raising my hopes.
October 28 I got another call from a different lawyer and He came and finished the verification on 31st October. I went to Goethe to write my A1 exams in December and I passed. I submitted my certificate thesame month.
I recently got a verification complete mail on the 9th of January. They said they're awaiting the final decision from the foreign office in my state and would get back to me. So I'm still waiting...
German Visa process isn't a joke. Patience and Prayers in needed. Some people's process is faster than others. So just keep your fingers crossed and hope for the best. I wish you a quick Visa process.

Congratulations ma! I'll also be travelling next week with two kids . Please how was your trip with a child? The thought of the stress alone is giving me serious anxiety .

Good morning Landers...

I have come to testify God's mercy.... And tell how it all went..

June 2021... Booked for an appointment (i was pregnant,
Gave birth October 2021….. my baby clocked 2months, i booked for him as well)

July 2022.... We both went for interview...
.
Dead silence.... Until

October 2022... Got a call from the lawyer,

November 2022.... We met the lawyer...(he had already gone to the north to verify my primary and secondary school).. cos i was born and bred in KD State, then relocated to Onitsha...
( sometimes, Northern verifications is another factor for delay, some lawyers are scared to travel to the north for an applicants sake)
.
Silence again
.
February 2023.... Verification complete mail was sent...

March 23th 2023.... Embassy requested for our passports, travel insurance and date... Which we sent immediately..

April 3 2023.... Our documents arrived with stamped Visas

April 26... We left Nigeria and landed in Frankfurt 27th April 2023..


I must confess, this group helped me mentally, when i got to know i wasn't waiting alone, there was some sort of relief 😮‍💨....
May we all get what we've been waiting for, IJN AMEN 🙏🙏🙏

Thank you so much😁

FrauPosh:
Congratulations 🎉👏🎉🎉🎉

Glory to God finally God has done it for me.
I got a mail from the embassy to submit my and my children's insurance and travel date yesterday.
Finally I can sleep well after a whole year of processing this visa.

Tell your husband try and go to the foreign office to enquire and find out if your documents have been sent to them .

Akupeace01:
Good evening everyone, please how long do I still need to wait for foreign office to contact my husband? , I got my verification completed email since 13th of January, uptill now the foreign office are yet to contact him, I'm worried, they are not also picking up their calls..
Thanks

Hmmm it depends though...
I have a degree in computer science but the A1 was required. Its a thing og luck ooo. These people make their demands as they wish.

Ahmed4002:
HND is equivalent to BSc. If she holds a degree, the A1 Language would be waived.

And a degree certificate puts her high in the labour market and as well as the Visa process

The number on their website or the one attached on their address. My husband has used it to call them from Germany once.

Blessingudofia:
I've done everything they asked me to do but still no response from their end, how can I get their contact to call I don't have it.

Tnks@RitzyFJ.

Have you done everything? Like verification and A1 certificate?
My husband is also a DAAD PhD scholar too, and I am currently waiting. Even though they sent me a verification complete mail 3weeks ago and mentioned that they were now waiting for the final approval from the foreign office in Germany. So I'm in the waiting game right now. Fingers crossed and praying. You can tell your husband to contact his representative in DAAD to help reach out to the foreign office in his state,maybe this will help. It's really frustrating that after meeting all their endless demands, they still keep one waiting without any response. Don't relent sha, keep sending the mails and if possible put a call through to them maybe they will pick up.

quote author=Blessingudofia post=120508097]Good day everyone, I don't know what to do again, I applied for Family reunion visa early 2021 and I was given appointment one year after 04/04/2022, after which I was asked to send my husband's residence permit that the one I gave them is expired, after the delay from their end at Saxony Anhalt, eventually, we were able to get the residence permit and sent it to the embassy on the 21st of November 2022, since then we've been sending mails to the embassy with no response from them even at the fact that he is a Daad scholar PhD,pls I don't know what else to do again, I've been waiting since 2021 till date.[/quote]

This is beautiful news. I'm happy for you and your son. I wish your boy a speedy process. All the best!

Suzantry:
I am pleased to write you all that I got a response from the German embassy this afternoon😂 I am so happy and I believe someone from the embassy read all our write ups, if you’re working at the embassy and saw my messages and acted on it, may God bless you , may all your heart desires come to fulfilment and your expectations will never be cut short. I sent them an email yesterday stating the current state of my son, with an attachment of my previous verification mail, my son’s new reference number and my old reference number, my toddler will be having an interview next month, I’ve been away from my child for 4 month now, But now I can confidently travel back to Nigeria to take care of him and also run his appointment and all. Nairlanders thanks for giving me a platform to share.

I don't know which will be better. But you should make ur enquiries and see which one will be more effective. But I feel a lawyer in Germany will be better cause you can address the issue from there. The lawyer can help talk to the Alien office in ur state to get some form of pre approval for ur child to help push the embassy to listen to you. You can tell them ur child is left uncared for and in danger since the grandma is not too well and is unable to take care of him. Please don't relent ooo, keep sending the embassy mails letting them know ur child needs you
as he isn't getting the much needed care. Once they know ur child doesn't have proper care they might listen to you. Your little child shouldn't have to wait that long. The embassy is being so inconsiderate. And sadly they don't care about people's situation. Just try every possible way. All the best!

Suzantry:
Do you mean I should get a lawyer here in Germany or in Nigeria, thanks for your concern

I don't know if it is possible but Maybe you should get a lawyer to plead ur case since ur child is minor. This is so heartbreaking but be strong. I wish you all the best

Suzantry:
Hello Everyone please I really dont know if anyone has an opinion on what to do in my case,I applied for family reunion visa for myself in 2021,during this process I gave birth to my son,I received appointment date in feb 2022, but did not take my son in for interview cos he was still a baby, my lawyer came to verify me and my son , as well went to the hospital I gave birth ti my son in Lagos, a month later I got a mail from the embassy that myself and my son have been verified, but I only submitted my passport cos my son passport was not yet ready, due to the passport huddles in Nigeria presently, while waiting for my son passport I proceed to travel to Germany due to the fact that I was given 3 month visa and I do not want my visa to expire while still in Nigeria, i am Currently in Germany, done with my Ameldung and all, also I’ve been given my work permit. My son passport is out and I send a mail to the embassy in December 2022 informing them about the current state of my son and that his passport is ready and also that he has been verified, I got a response back to go and register him and also partake in the waiting period, my son is just16 month and also my husband and I are currently in Germany, i cant help this cos I know I waited for almost 2 years to be handed a visa, I really hope this will not be the fate of my child cos he is just a toddler. He is currently with his grandmother who is having health issues and too old to take care of him😭 . Please can anyone advice me on what next to do.

It is very possible. I applied last year march 2022 and got a date for April 2022

Mizfabulous18:
that not possible she probably got the date mixed up

I registered with a language school where I opted for the online classes instead of the physical class. But above all if you want to pass the Goethe exams, you have to dedicate personal extra time to learn and practice more. Don't rely only on the Lehrer's effort alone. I spent most of my time on YouTube learning more and practicing.

Can you please share the online Deutschkurse you used?

Please how long does it take to get response from the embassy after family reunion interview? My husband is a DAAD scholar and DAAD gave us a letter which I took to the embassy...I had my interview on the 29th November, 2022 and till now no response from the embassy

Never say never oooo. When I went for my Visa interview last year I didn't pay for the verification either and my husband is also a DAAD scholar but after 2months I was contacted by the embassy to send a sum of 150k for verification, that the Aliens authority in Germany requested for the verification to be done. You can't conclude anything with these people. Just pray for God's favour cause they make their demands however and whenever they feel like. All the best in your application.

Softy1407:
I am not supposed to be contacted by a lawyer because I didn't pay family verification fee therefore exempted from verification.
