Answer

Hello,
Recently I got a job offer from Germany Employer. So, I am planning to apply for work visa in Bangalore. I have few questions, which need experts help.
  1. After going through multiple anwers in forums, I believe first I need to book appointment for Visa consulate interview, then post approval I need to approach VFS. Is my assumption correct ?
  2. I am applying for visa along with my family. So I took appointment for Consulate interview for complete family. Is my family required for submitting the passport in VFS post interview/consulate approval ? Or can I submit on their behalf ? Where the biometrics are taken, in Consulate or in VFS ?
  3. Any idea what is the visa duration (Min & Max) when all family members apply for National Visa In India ?

Thanks,
Rakesh

Dear Rakesh,

Answers to your questions:
  1. After going through multiple anwers in forums, I believe first I need to book appointment for Visa consulate interview, then post approval I need to approach VFS. Is my assumption correct ?
Yes. You have to get appointment to the embassy for applying and then post approval, have to approach VFS for Visa stamping purpose.

  1. I am applying for visa along with my family. So I took appointment for Consulate interview for complete family. Is my family required for submitting the passport in VFS post interview/consulate approval ? Or can I submit on their behalf ? Where the biometrics are taken, in Consulate or in VFS ?
You can submit on their behalf. Contact VFS. They have a specific format for authorizing you to submit and/ or collect passport on behalf of your family members. This format contains information about your family members and you including some government ID no (like AADHAAR) of you as a proof, and to be signed by your family member.

  1. Any idea what is the visa duration (Min & Max) when all family members apply for National Visa In India ?
The standard duration is said to be 3 months. However, it varies depending on individual case.

Hope this helps
Regards
Senthilkumar
