Oh, my travel dates and health insurance have already requested and I submitted the documents about a week ago. My one worry is receiving my documents and port late or there being an error in my port, I don't know how common that is.

Oo ok i would suggest you work around a week or two weeks after your travel date submitted I.e if your intended travel date is 30th October you can book your flight for either the 2nd week of November or 3rd so you don’t miss your flight. Hopefully you get your visa(port returned back) before your intended day submitted (30th October)

There's not much talk on Ausbildung here, maybe some one can open a new thread here or whatsapp or whichever about Ausbildung to serve for now and future purpose 🤔

I second this. I‘d like to know where the embassy is at, as regards Ausbildung\ work visa applicants.

Yes I know. I’m saying that I want to know if they’ve started giving those who applied for a work visa late last year appointment dates.

No I don't think so

No they did not

Annie2059:


No I don't think so

If you have a work contract with pre approval you can get an appointment within 3weeks.
I don't think an employer would have the grace to wait for an Employee for over 1 year to get an appointment. They better tell us that the option for work Visa without pre approval is not viable.

We've submitted the A1 certificate for two weeks now and even ABH says the application is approved on their end. Who knows how long before the embassy sends AM?

9th February visa interview.
The V.O was so nice to my boys she even bought sweets and chocolate for them so that they can sit in one place. Note their interview was scheduled for 7am but they were at the embassy till past 2pm.
Got a mail that I should add 1500€ to the 14,100€ I blocked in my .
Added the money same day and sent a mail to the embassy
No message from the embassy for 4 months so i decided to mail them.
June 16th a lawyer called my hubby that he was coming for verification
Lawyer started verification from Abuja on the 20th of June from my children’s former school, hospital etc
No news again from the embassy about the visa.
September 22nd I ed the international office responsible for international students in my school ed my faculty dean. Both wrote a mail to ABH they said they were waiting for my embassy.
Note during this period of waiting I feel sick with depression started therapy and I was advised by my doctor to take a semester off school because I couldn’t cope again. I wanted to travel back home but I knew I will never return back to without my kids. My mom kept praying for me and encouraging me not to return.
The student International office ed the embassy and the embassy said they needed a power of attorney from me so that they can act on my behalf.
I sent the letter immediately.
September another lawyer called my husband that he was looking for his church were he did his baptism.
October 12th the studentenwerk sent me a mail to vacate my apartment if my family does not arrive before the end of October that other families too needs the accommodation and I was leaving alone for 1 year.
I forwarded the message to the student international office, the embassy and the ABH stating my frustration. ABH replied immediately that they are also waiting for the embassy.

The embassy replied us that we should give them one week that the lawyer would submit his report on a Wednesday
18th October verification completed
My hubby was asked to resubmit a spinsterhood affidavit and declaration of age because he signed it him self so the signature was different from his father’s own.

And my son was asked to submit any other document to show his year of birth because his news school wrote 2018 in their class instead of 2019. Thank Hod I had his immunization card with me in I send an express courier through Dhl on Friday evening by 520pm it got to Nigeria Saturday morning 9.15am and was delivered to the embassy on Monday morning.
Embassy informed me that my children’s visas were approved and has been sent to the alien office I should write them the expiate action. I wrote the ABH stating the urgency because of my accommodation..
25th October got an email from the embassy to send travel health insurance and date of travel.
Send it same day. Note I sent my children’s port ahead without been asked
26th my hubby got a call from the embassy to come and collect the children’s port or send someone since they can see that the kids will travel by weekend
I sent my cousin she arrived the embassy at 1pm she was not attended to because she was late. Collection closes by 12pm according to them
Next morning been 27th she went back but the Almighty at the gate said they don’t give ports with hand. This was 3 mins to 12 and by 12pm they stop picking calls at the embassy. I quickly called my husband to call the embassy luckily he was able to speak with them and she was given the port.

Straight to the airport she sent the ports to Abuja and we collected it after 2 hours.
Kids traveled to 28th October to the glory of God.

Note my husband’s visa is still pending because he was asked to submit A1
……

God uses some situation to bless you in disguise. It was a neighbour that reported that I have been leaving alone for the past one year while other families are looking for accommodation. I guessed they noticed because I am the alone black there. In all I give praise to God, the fight was not an easy one but God gave me victory.

Wow, we thank God for the victory. I am happy to read your story. Congratulations to you and the family for the breakthrough.

My own University accommodation cares less if my wife has ed yet or not. In fact, they even did not allow me to rent out my second room saying that the entire flat (53 sqm) is not too big for one person to stay alone.

I pray that God will perfect your health and give your husband VISA on time also.

Kind regards.

Pls is the pre approval different from the Erklärung zum Beschäftigungsverhältnis?

megaxart:


No they did not

Pls is the pre approval / Vorabzustimmung different from the Erklärung zum Beschäftigungsverhältnis? And what requirements did your employer asked from you to apply for that?

Greetings house,

Quick question please:

1. Do I have to submit an affidavit of bachelorhood if I have a marriage certificate?

Thank you

Thank you

Yes please. And it must be deposed by either of your parents or head of family

Is A1 certificate necessary for spouse's of daad scholarship holders? Please can anyone with recent experience answer this? Thanks 🙏🏿

I think it depends on whether the spouse holds a researcher status.

Pls for those who live in the north and want to book appointment is it still same Lagos because what I see on the Abuja page is only port and consulate matter.

Just book your appointment on lagos embassy page. Abuja is for government officials not for everyone. NOTE: for signature certification and consular purpose, you can book appointment in abuja if you are from northern states as a ordinary person.
