Spouse visa delay
Hello everyone,
I live in germany for last 4 years with residence and work permit. Recently, i got married in india and my wife applied for visa. Within 3 weeks, they asked for verification and we sent the documents for it. Within 6 weeks , they sent back the dcouments saying verification is complete. In the next 3 weeks , i got a letter from foreigners office to submit rental contract and salary slips which i did. Its been three weeks since and i havent heard from them. Totally, its 15 weeks.
My wife holds Masters and Phd in biology , so she didnt submit/complete the A1 certificate. When i contact foreigners office, they told me the consulate has to take a decision on the my wife language requirement.
Do anybody have similair experience like this ? i thought the procedure was complete, but still, my wife doesnt get a reply from consulate ? can anybody advice me on how long it will take ?

Hi Shilpa,
I am just over a month into putting in my application.
Did the embassy ask you to get in touch with the foreigners/immigration office? I was wondering if I should ask my husband ( a german citizen) to get in touch but I am not sure if this is frowned upon?
The embassy website says they won't entertain enquiries before 12 weeks has passed since the date of the application but there must be some way to track the progress?

My husband has only contacted german embassy after 4 months and in your case i think its only 1 month over so you should wait for some tme.And in the meanwhile get a A1 certificateie(basic german language certificate) if u already have thn no issue and according to my experience to get german spouse visa one shud have patience cz minimum it will take 6months and for me its 7months plus so wait nd hope for the best.
ALL THE BEST

Spouse visa delay
Hello All,
I applied for my spouse & kid visa in the month of aug2011 along with my application.All of us submitted the passports and then I received the entry visa but they received just the reference numbers. After that i travelled in sept2011 and received my residence permit in dec2011. Then i followed up in my local ABH and finally the immigration officer sent me an email on jan mid 2012 stating that he has given approval fr my family and they will here from the chennai embassy soon. But on end of jan2012 my spouse recived an email stating that the immigration office in germany needs a verification of the marriage and birth ceritifactes of my spouse and kid.so accordingly we submitted the documents in the end of jan2012 to the consulate in chennai. But our comapany's visa dept in germany again followed up with the immigration office in germany about the state as they felt very strange(we recived a mail clearly stating that we got an approval frm the immigration officer but the letetr which we received from chennai consulate states that it was requested by the authorities in germany). So again we received an email from the same officer once again in the mid of febraur saying that he didnt requested for any verification and he said that he will be writing an email to the consulate in chennai if there is an misunderstanding as requested by us. I also called several times to chennai embassy. every time they give different replies stating that a) 2 weeks back: they conveyed that it was requested by the consulate in chennai b)last week they said that it was requested by immigration office in germany. I am totally confused and not understanding who is doing the complete mess in my case. Is there any possibility to report my case to any authorities in germany so that they can take up with chennai embasyy or else is there any possibility to directly speak with the concerned visa officer in chennai who handles my case? early replies are highly appeciated....thanks for all in advance
