Please someone should guide me on this . Thanks 🙏

You were supposed to use the names on your port. If you already submitted, no problem as you can't book another one with same port number except you cancel and book again. Cheers.

Good evening all.
Please I need guide on the three pdf forms am to fill up for the family reunion visa. Do I need to print the forms out before filling it or do I need to fill them online?. I mean
The declaration form,

The questionnaire form for verification of documents and

The Application form

My interview is next two weeks.

Yes there will be an issue if you did not book your appointment with your name as it is in your port, you won't be allowed inside is stated there, please if you have submitted, you can cancel and rebook, it happened to me.
The mail that you will receive after successfully booking gives us opportunity to cancel wait and confirm that it has been canceled and rebook again. Is better to wait for some hours than to wait for another 13months.
Best of luck.

If you recently booked it (couple of days), better to cancel and rebook with your name as it’s in your port. The embassy generally may have no issue but the man at the door may unfortunately not let you in at all.

I booked with just my name and surname and didn't have any issues with the man at the gate. My port carries three names. Although I went with an affidavit of reconciliation of names because my some of my certificates carried my first name and surname while others had my first name, surname and third name. I wonder why they didn't create a place for a third name. I ll suggest you just get an affidavit of reconciliation of names stating your three names,that you are one and the same person.

Happychi19:
good pm, which date in June were you interviewed ? Anyway it all depends on your location too (state) all you need is to be very patience, after your lawyer comes !!!my dear E no end there, delay is too much , if ur documents are complete u should be expecting them ending of September or October, some lawyer no dey help matters, maybe embassy has given them documents, they will keep it oneside and be doing another thing, if you call the embassy they will tell you that lawyer verification takes 5months or more, so i advise you should be patience.

how far have you been granted visa? I believe so

I had no idea we are to add middle name to the first name. I booked for myself and our kids using just surname and first name, since there was no space for middle name. Do I have to go do an affidavit for the reconciliation of names for all of us? And please can I see a sample of the affidavit of reconciliation of names please. We booked since last year.

If you can not cancel and book again,then I think that's what you should do to be on the safer side. You get the affidavit from the court. They have the format. You will state that (quote the two names) is the same person as (quote the three names) as seen on the international port and all other documents. Just tell the court the issue. They know how to type the affidavit. Then you will have to do this individually for each child . That's is if you are far gone and can't rebook the appointments again.My one cent.

Thanks

Nothing to worry All you need to do is go filled your visa form and questionnaire form correctly as it appears on your port, that is what will be imputed on the system cos they only requested for your surname and first name during booking so you are expected to provide your full details during your interview

StarryStarry:



Thanks so much for your reply . Have rebooked again with my exact names on my port . Thanks

Even if u dont rebook nothing would have happened, Your first name and last name was asked at the point of booking and that was what u provided, u are expected to fill ur visa form and questionnaire correctly as it appears on ur port, it has never been an issue because u only provide the booking information as required, every one I knew who has gone for their interview never has issue entering so far ur port number is correct

Yes, went to the ABH in person with lots of documents as requested in the appointment letter. The document list I believe is different from state to state

Congrats!!

Please what state is this?

Schleswig Holstein

Please does anyone know which is faster, school visa or family reunion. My husband and I have done traditional wedding before he left last year (as a student), he wants to come back for white wedding. Should I wait and use the certificate to apply for my own visa or should I go as a student (masters).


Kindly advise pls
