This is not possible as I have to do the capture in person.

jbonito:
No, not yet. We applied last July, so my expectations are from end of June to July, we should receive an appointment. Her passport is out though, so that’s resolved.

When did you apply?

Hi everyone,

Today marks one year of family reunion application. Please when can I expect invite?

adeinfinit:
Thank you. I already have an affidavit swore by me. Can I use this or my parent would have to swear the affidavit?

adeinfinit:
Hello guys. My birth certificate carries just my surname and middle name (spelt differently as Ahmed). My other documents has middle name spelt as Hammed. Will an affidavit or newspaper publication suffice as supporting document?

Hello guys, in preparation of my wife's arrival, I have already included her in my family health insurance here in Germany. Will the health insurance certificate issued here be accepted as the travel insurance that will be requested when she finally gets her visa approval mail or will I have to do another travel insurance in Nigeria ?

Hi everyone,

My wife is currently filling the family reunion application form. There is a place where they asked her for references in Germany (Question 10).

Is it okay if this is left blank, because she does not have any reference in Germany?

Thank you all, and all the best in your applications as well.

Hi everyone, I am currently filling the family reunion application form with my wife. Her appointment is in 2 weeks.
Does anyone know what should be filled for the following questions on the form:
1. Intended duration of stay in Germany?
2. Do you have health insurance that covers the federal republic of Germany?

We'll appreciate your feedback, thanks.

Goodluck to everyone still waiting for appointment date.

Family visas collected yesterday to the glory of God. I will sign off of this thread but before I do, I will share everything I have learned from this process starting from the time we applied to the time my family got their visas. It will not be the usual interview transcripts, I believe there's enough of that already. When I have some time I will type it out and post it here.

Thank you to everyone who supported and answered our questions through this time. God bless. Cheers to a new dispensation �

Hi all,
I don't think there is any particular way for this procedure but I noticed most people here hear from their foreign offices after lawyers verification.

But in my case I got Approval from my foreign office then the next week the lawyer goes for verification,

I would like to know if it was so for any one.
As in Auslandsamt verification before lawyers.

Finally the Lord has done IT!!!
German passport/Visa Approval Update!!

Applied for family reunion visa 2nd Dec 2019.
Appointment mail 21st Dec 2020
Appointment with my 1st son 14th Jan 2021.
March 24th 2021 email came from them saying I should submit a Signed and completely filled out questionnaire for the document verification. (Reasons d submitted once was not properly filled and I forgot 2 sign) I submitted it and aft dat i started waiting for lawyer 2 call, it never happened. I got tired of waiting so on d 9th of June 2021 I hunt for my lawyer myself and i found him d nxt day, I called him and we fixed a date, he showed up 14th of June.
21st of June 2021 my spouse was contacted and asked to submit some documents.
Aug 11th 2021 verification mail drop and I was also asked 2 submit A1, all dis while i was thinking cuz my spouse is a German i will have examption from d A1, by dis time i was heavily pregnant so I can't even go to Lagos for d exam. My spouse called Ausländerbehörde and talk and talk, finally they asked him to appeal, which we did with supporting documents, I wrote A1 Nov 2019 i got 52points then I came bk 2 my base started another language school finished from there wrote d school exam and scored 62, we submitted d two results and my registration form.
I was praying and trusting God for d wave and booom they waved it. Ausländerbehörde informed my spouse on the 23rd of Aug 2021 dat it has bin waved and our visa has bin approved.
Me, i immediately sent our passport & 3 months traveling insurance 2 d consulate without dem asking, they collected it and kept it for me, LoL.
28th August 2021 I put to bed all my fear of starting a new process for my new child.
I never knew God will break protocol for me.
29th Aug i informed them that I just put 2 bed.
31st Aug they asked me to submit a readable scan copy of my son's birth certificate.
10th Sep i got another mail asking me to submit d original certificate I did, then we started feeling that, they might invite us to Lagos for d new baby's interview so my spouse quickly sent them a long email stating dat I can't travel 2 Lagos.
7th Oct 2021 I got an email saying they have applied for German passport for my kids in German Embassy Abuja. (Best news!!! no lawyer came 4 my new baby and no additional verification fee was asked)
I wrote Abuja they replied immediately and requested that my spouse go to Jugendamt or standarmt for acknowledgement of paternity for our 1st child (reason for this was bcuz I had my first son in May and our court marriage was in July) .So he went to standesamt in Germany and did it, they sent it out 13th Oct 2021 through Deutsche post and it got to our own Nipost, till today Nipost has nt delivered it 2 d embassy. my spouse got tired, went back to standesamt 1st Dec 2021 got another copy and paid for DHL .
6th Dec 2021 Embassy got it and wrote me that same day to send my passport and marriage certificate via email.
7th Dec 2021 I got an email stating things I need 2 bring and fees to pay for the German passport and as soon as I get everything ready I shd send them an email so an appointment can be fix.
That same day I told dem I was ready immediately an appointment was fix for 13th Dec 2021.
13.12.21 I notarize my declaration of consent at the Embassy & also submitted my children's passport application,
I applied for children's passport (Kinderreisepass) cuz it's Faster and they are below 13. It will be issued within 5 days.
I told Abuja ppl to plz inform Lagos, I also wrote them an email myself.
17th Dec 2021 I pick my children's German passport at the Abuja Embassy and I was told that my visa officer in Lagos went on leave Choi all my plans of dirty December in Deutschland crumbled. Lol
I started calling and sending German consulate mail everyday same story Madam b patient we are at the final Stage
31st January 2022 I received an email saying they are currently waiting for final response from foreign office in Germany, I was shock cuz that was done in August 2021. So my spouse called Ausländerbehörde and asked why, he was told dat it's over 5 months they work on my visa and it's a long time, so they want to know if he still has his work and if he can take care of us financially so he was asked to submit his 3 months pay slip which he did that same day.
28th February 2022 I got Approval mail
7th March I got my visa and documents back.
Arrived Germany 10th March 2022.
This whole process took 2 years, 3 months & 5 days.
God is Indeed too Faithful to Fail !!!

EngrOsax:
Hello fam, my lawyer came for verification today but my mum couldn't fill her form and I wasn't allowed to fill for her because according to the lawyer we were supposed to do illetrate jurat for her in the process of the affidavit since she's the deponent or she has to fill for herself which she couldn't coz she can't read and write.
