Spouse VISA Rejected
Hi,
I came to Germany in the month of october and my wife applied for visa on jan 2,2012. we did not submit the german language course certificate as there is an exception that if you are not going to stay in germany more than 5 years, you dont need the german certificate. But she recieved the rejection letter today saying "Please complete the language and re-apply".
I would like to know if this VISA rejection will have any effect when we apply for the VISA next time along with the language certificate.
Please help me.
Thanks.

You or your spouse are citizens of a EU member state of theEuropean Union (excluding Germany).
if your working for international company in which your stay in germany is for less than 3 years (deputation)..(the period should be mentioned in the contract
if your wife is having master degree eligible to get job in germany( this shall be based on decision of consulate
Your residence permit as
highly-skilled worker (§ 19 AufenthG).

Re: Spouse VISA Rejected
Hi,
If the visa is rejected due to some genuine/reasonable/understable reason (as in your case), the rejection is has usually no influence when you apply next time. Same happen with me too, albeit the reason was different. Just ask her to complete the course and apply again.
Thing is that the rule keep on changing without prior information to the applicant and my expereince says that result of the same application may vary from one consulate to the other.
All the best.

Re: Spouse VISA Rejected
Thanks to both of you for the positive reply. I was little worried but i am glad to hear that it would not be a problem.
I have one more question. Since I am from India, I learnt that the marriage certificate would be verified if its genuine by the VISA dept and it would take around 5 weeks of time.
I would like to know if I get my marraige certificate legalised or attested during the time my wife completes the course, will it speed up the process???

Re: Spouse VISA Rejected
@akh..
attestation probably won't help in anyway (fact is: Indian documents are not seen worth trustworthy, so how come they believe a mere attestation to be fair)
So far I have seen for my colleagues, if both your and your spouse have updated marital status and each other's names on your passports, then there are "relatively" less chances that they will call for a marriage verification.... else it becomes a high chance (specially in just-married cases) that they will call for verification, and it takes more than a month generally to get it thru!

@asc
Thanks for your suggestions. Even I found that they have their own verification process and getting an attestation is not going to change. However I am planning to add my name to wife's passport as she is in India currently. I hope that it would minimize the verification process.
@Neha
It was rejected in a weeks time and it was clearly mentioned about the german languange certificate. In your case, may be they are verifying the certificate or visa is getting processed with German embassy here in germany. Do let us know your experience once you get to know the result.
