Marriage verification time- spouse visa
Answer
11/4/14 3:57 PM
Hi all,

I applied for German spouse visa on 5-Aug-2014 in Bangalore. After 25 days I got a call from Bangalore embassy asking me to pay Rs2000 for marriage certificate investigation. I paid the fees on 5-Sep-2014. After a month i followed up with the embassy but the answer i got from them was " Visa is still under process". I am calling them every week but I'm getting to hear the same response everytime. It's been 3 months since I've applied for spouse visa. My husband tried calling the embassy in Germany but they are waiting to hear from Indian embassy. But till date no lawyer has come to visit me. This is really bothering me cos lawyer has visited almost all the applicants within 3-4 weeks since the time they have paid the fees for marriage investigation but in my case even after 12 weeks i don't see any lawyer visiting me nor I don't see any progress from Bangalore embassy. 
So I want to know:
1) Will the lawyer visit in South India?
2) It's been 3 months since I've applied for my visa. So can anyone tell me as to roughly how long it might take for me to get my visa.
 Awaiting quick response pls

Hi,

Can I know the proceeder to correct the mistake done in the application form? cos when my husband spoke to the embassy person in Gemany they have asked to get intouch with the Indian Embassy to correct the mistake, but I've not got any communication from Indian Embassy for the same. I even tried calling the embassy here and tried explaning the situation but they said that they would get back to me in case they require any rectification. 
So if someone is aware of the proceeder to get it right, pls share it.

Hello,

It is probable that the Lawyer has already got the investigation done and submitted his report.

But, it is really perplexing to note that, You have commited a mistake in the application form and want to correct. Could You please provide more information as to what has happened with with the application, and How You came to know about the mistake?

This will help us better answer Your queries.

In addition, as CEBIT informed, writing a cover letter to ABH to claim that it was a bonafide mistake will help. Please send a copy of that Letter to the Consulate also, where Your application is being processed.

Let us know your status, so that we can help out.

Hi,
According to German embassy it's a mistake. I really don't understand why they consider it as a mistake.

While submitting my application form, the lady who took my interview asked me that how long I would want to stay in Germany. I answered her saying more than three years. And she filled the same in column in the application form which had asked to specify no of years of stay ( I had left that column blank ). This was filled without informing me. My husband is a permanent resident. When my husband spoke to the German embassy they questioned him saying "why your wife has mentioned that she would stay for three years when you are a permanent resident here? " n they have considered this as a mistake and they have asked me correct it.Since they have considered this as a mistake, German embassy has sent mail to Indian embassy on 26th Aug asking to verify my marriage certificate. But till now they have not received any update from Indian embassy so it's clear that marriage certificate investigation is not complete yet. I'm really worried cos when I explained this to Indian embassy they say we wouldn't have accepted your form if there was a mistake and they say that we will get in touch with you in case we need any clarification.I really don't know what to do cos embassy here is not communicating anything but German embassy is asking me to correct the form. So pls help me on this

Thanks for the clarification:

It is a very generic answer (harmless answer) for You, but from the VIew of the processing officer, it is a mistake. Just imagine that, somebody is a Permanent Resident (Meaning, who can reside in the country permanently) and His spouse wants a visa only for 3 Years. Doesn't this arise any suspicion? 

The situtation as I understand is: The ball is in the Bangalore Consulate's court. It is the Consulate's reply, which is sought by the Auslaenderbehorde in Germany.

So, get in touch with them (Bangalore Consulate) and ask for the status update, as it has been more than 2 months after the Marriage Verification has been started. Visit in person and ask for the status update or any need for clarification.

@swati

having stated 3 years is NOT at all a problem, even though your intentions to stay is permanent. After all you have only requested and it is upto the ABH to grant it. You dont have to worry about it all. As long as your fill any thing more than 1 year it is not a problem.

Hi,

Thank you all for your response.

I hope it's not a problem but German embassy have communicated this to my husband clearly stating that it's a mistake. I call Indian embassy everyweek and explain this but they say that there is absolutely no mistake in the application form. So I'm completely blank as to what is happening. In case German embassy rejects my visa on this ground, how soon can I apply again?

Hi Swathi,
 
I applied for family reunion visa at Chennai embassy and i did the same. I asked the embassy staff when I submitted the application how much time I can fill they said it does not matter cause u get visa for 3 months and the office in Germany will issue the long term residency permit. In fact I filled 3 years like you. I paid for marriage verification on October 11 and still no one visited me for verification.

Hallo Swathi,

you don't need to worry much about. The date/month/year is tentative (consider application form). That was not a big issue. But what i am suggesting you is that, write an email to the banglore consulate about your findings and the informations that you got from your husband & alien office side. 

FYI: Do not compare your visa case with another. Every case is different. Depends on the individual it may change.

Your next step would be: Write an email to the consulate to ask about visa processing. If they dont reply you on time, which means it is all under process ( no problem). But as your thought, if they found anything unusual in the application form, they will write you immideatly with proper alternatives or you might get rejection letter too. So do not get harm down.


Note for you: Please choose the medium as email instead of calling. They won't respond properly in calls. And be in touch with banglore consulate not in Alien Authority (local alien office/ABH) in Germany.

Thanks

in your case: Once ABH got your marriage verification report from the consulate (where you applied), They need probably 9-12 days of maximum for to make decision/opinion (approval or rejection). You can expect middle of december.

Hallo Swathi,

i agreed with what cebit has said. You don't need to worry so much about the date/month/year was marked in your application. If suppose, your visa is to be rejected-you can remonstrate/appeal against the visa decision (which usually called as Remonstration letter to the consulate- you ought to lodge the appeal within in a month of time, starting from the date of rejection letter received) or with the rejection letter you can lodge a new application. But again you have to move through the same period of time (so called processing time around 3 months)

Note: Keep on write them. They will surely revert you back.

Hey menoncruz.

My case is also pretty close to Ali's
I submitted my case on the 8th september and three weeks later the alien office in hamburg sent a letter yo my husband asking him to submit his documents so to speed up the process. The lawyer visited me on the 24th of October and two weeks later I submitted my german result because I took the exam in November.
Now I have no idea where my case stands and my husband refuses to follow up in hamburg since he doesn't want to annoy them.

Once ABH/foreign office receive marriage verification report and language certificate from consulate (where you applied), they will check the documents from your husband and forward their opinion/approval to consulate (where you applied). Hardly, ABH need 9-12 days for their processing (once everything is ready)emoticon

You can ontact your consulate through email as medium to check your status of application/what is happening (Keep in mind: Do not simply ask the status of your appln)

Hi Raj,

Look at my case.Its even more pathetic.

Appeared Interview on18.08.2014.
27.11.2014:Received Mail asking for Marriage Certificate Verification-As evident the the mail came after 3 months 9 days.
29.11.2014: Documents and DD of Rs. 20000 sent.
2.12.2014: Documents delivered as per the Courier Service provider Website

Now the mail says the marriage certificate verification process will take atleast 3 months after the receipt of documents and demand draft. Does that mean, I can only expect some feedback from Embassy after approximately 7 months from the interview date?

I was supposed to travel wid my husband on 18.10.2014 and this is where I am today. All I can say is..Save me Lord.

Sorry to hear this.
If your spouse is in Germany than ask him to personally meet the ABH.
It may help to speed up the process from what I have read on this site.

My situation is also almost same like you. No response from any one at all. added to that they even never asked me to pay 20000 or marriage certificate document etc etc.
request you to tell me if you have any good pointers.

Hi,

What is ur visa application date? For me its 7 months now. I sometimes wonder..will I ever get visa. 
For me though, it seems the marriage verification is over and the report/documents have gone to Germany. Atleast that is what is informed by aliens authority people. 

The problem with my case is that the Marriage Verification mail itself came after 3 months 9 days from the Visa application date. Then the verification process took full 3 months and they returned my documents on 28.02.2015. 

This is definitly not a right place... to may be mention this..but still I would say that waiting for this dependent visa thing has been really traumatizing...and this waiting time has eaten up a very crucial phase of my life...and the funny thing is ..the wait is still on...

My visa application date is 9 th December 2014 and there is no reply neither mail stating that marriage verification is needed I wonder and worry now that after some days or weeks or months they may come up with marriage verification and again 3 months... It's already 17 weeks without marriage verification. Please post me u r updates. I will do so if I have any. And any pointers as to how will I know if they say marriage verifverification is needed after some days? And how did u know in u r case that marriage verifverification is needed after 3 months 9 days is it u got directly mail or before u enquired with anyone? Also just to mention I got my marriage certificate verification done personally from ministry of external affairs govt of india . Do u think this should suffice or it doesn't work. Request your inputs please

Dont worry..may be in your case verification is not required at all. Verificatin is not necessarily done for each and every case.
Consulate people send Marriage Verification mail if it is required, as was in my case. I did send many mails before that but there was no response and Marriage Verification mail also definitly was not a result of it.

I rather feel worried. As when i tried contacting Auslanderbehorde, they have clearly mentioned me that it is pending due to marriage verification documents pending from Consulate.
Whereas Consulate says if they require marriage certificate verification they would send mail to my wife or me asking for 20000 and submit marriage certificate.

And also informed me that since we didnt get any mail which means they dont need it. emoticon

I somehow feel that there is huge communication gap between Consulate and auslanderbehorde and i feel that now this process will not go anywhere except these auslanderbehorde guys waiting for verification documents from consulate and consulate guys waiting for an approval from ausalnderbehorde team.

I tried to explain to both but in vain, they are just saying what they are saying over last 1 week.

I am completely frustated and dont know where and how to proceed further..

Do give me updates in your case.

Hello,

Finally got visa approval mail after 7 months 1 week. 
The time taken for Marriage Verification need not necessarily be 12 weeks. I think it depends on the place n all where d marriage took place. I read it some where on this forum that there are agencies assigned for every region, however not very sure about it. If your marriage happened in Chennai, MV will not take too long also it depends on the supporting documents that yopu provide. Wish you luck.

Hi Wim and others,
I am a blue card holder, in the process of family reunion. I submitted all the docs to ABH after their letter. They told me 10 days ago that they have sent their opinion to consulate in Pakistan.

I asked consulate yesterday and they said they havent recieved any opinion till now.

The ABH said that they have sent their opinion electronically and it might be stuck in Köln. Have you heard such experience or how many days it takes for ABH to inform embassy about their opinion electronically?

Hi Swathi,

  I am in the same boat as you were couple of years ago. My wife applied for family reunion Visa on 13.02.2017, mariage verification was initiated on 27.02.2017 from Germany. They took my original marriage certificate and sent it to Bangalore. 

1) No officer visted us so far
2) When asked ABH in Germany, they said documents have reached India on 28.03.2017 and we have recieved an confirmation from India
3) When my wife asked the German embassy in Bangalore they say marriage verification is Done and the documents uploaded in the system
4) ABH in Germany tell that they need the original documents and doesnot woek electronically or they can not check the system. 
5) German embassy in Bangalore says my wife will not be required by ABH in Germany.

ABH tells me they have the sent documents they will post the process is complete. Question is the marriage verification done without visiting my family in India or my wife family.
If the system is updated with the verification status, it will be sent through Germany.
How long have I been waiting for this process?

Thanks and Regards,
Karthik
