Ahmed4002:


Please Hold on, until the embassy request for the change of name.

Don't complicate issues for yourself.

Ok. Thank you

Oracle12:


Go a head and process your change of name on port. If it comes out before you are asked to submit your port at the embassy, submit both, but let them know one is old and the visa should be on the new one. Its really a very easy matter, nothing to worry about.

Thank you

Nothing yet at mine too.

Na wa ooo😭

Children of God a friend of mine with two kids

Bonn2007:
Hello dear,

I have been meticulously following all directions but the system hasn't been releasing new interview slots for tourist visa at all. Upon enquiry they say they are fully book. Kind of confused. Can anyone please help??
Thanks.

You have to be there at the dot of midnight ( German time not Nigerian).

Thanks a bunch. Understanding that it is german midnight being referred to, is the catch. God bless you.

Please what is legalization of marriage certificate.

Ahmed4002:


Who is the family member exactly?

Did you put his name on your visa application form.

On the visa application form, there is a SPace for Family member to Visit.

did you put that person name?

It's a Tourist visa.

Try to file a declaration of commitment for the person.

Make sure the person have a strong ties back home, like a steady job, balance, properties, family ties back home.

For elderly ones, it's easy to bring them.

But, if that relative is just a young Chap and do not some thing at hand

Forget it.

If the document was issued in Nigeria, that is the whole essence of verification. Kindly refer to this from the German Embassy's website.

this was requested by the German Authority. I don’t even know again because am yet to get a lawyer, so I don’t know if they don’t need the lawyer again.

That cannot be correct. As long as you’re married by the date of interview, no one cares.

Hmmm alright. So she can use her current port and name to but we must be married before the interview and document submission?
Cause that is our plan as I'm currently in but planning to come back to do the needful late this year

Works all the time. That is your best bet to reduce the wait time.

Cheers!

Yea. As soon as you get married, let her do the change of name and get the new port carrying your surname before she heads for the interview with the necessary affidavits and newspaper publications. You’ll save plenty time.

Alright Awesome
Thanks
Will do so.

Goof afternoon my good people. Please I have a question which and I really need directions.

My wife had her interview on the 24th of April, she didn't submit her A1 exam because she was told she could submit later. Today, she got a call from a delivery man (dhl) that she has a message from the embassy. We are now concerned as to why are we receiving documents so quickly? Although we are yet to know the content of the message, she is also not present in the state where she can rush to get the documents. We are just anxious, please can we get clues as what may likely happen? Does anyone has similar experience?

Thanks in anticipation

This is not a good sign, seems like a rejection. You can appeal though if it is a rejection. Was it a family reunion visa?

What is your own resident status?

Oracle12:


We are yet to get hold of the documents up till now though. Yeah, it's a family reunion. I will be starting a full time work from next month. I just applied for my work permit, switching from study permit.

Hello house. Please has any January 2023 applicant for family reunion gotten a lawyer for verification yet?

No.. we only received a message from the home office in requesting for some documents from my spouse.

Is anyone waiting on the embassy after lawyer's visit? Lawyer came in March. Ausländerbehörde person says they are waiting for the embassy. Emails to embassy never replied.

Ok. I haven't heard anything yet too from anywhere. Thanks for responding.

[quote author=Bukky098 post=123362790][/quote]

I think you should receive the documents and confirm what’s contained (if we are speculating, it’s probably a rejection). However, even student’s spouses don’t get rejected for family reunion from Lagos, normally the determination has to get to the ABH in before they reject. This seems too quick. If a key document was missing, this would have been pointed out to your spouse during the interview.
You’ll need to see the content of that delivery to know how best to proceed.

Our senior colleagues. Where do we find our lawyer from bikonu. This is 6 months and counting waiting for lawyer. Make una help us oh .

Most of the lawyers are now doing social work in the UK through study visa. Gone are the days when they have lots of lawyers available to take up the job of verification. Insecurities are also cause of delays too.
If dem hold German lawyer for ransom na his family dey responsible o, not German embassy, so everyone is using their brain.

The lawyer that verified me said he’s no longer practicing, he’s looking for visa to travel now.
