Dear All,

My husband has been in Germany (Stuttgart) for 7 months now, he is a blue card holder since January 2016. I applied for a family reunion visa from Egypt on 06/04/2016 and I received a call a couple of weeks later stating that there is a missing document, I completed all the documents on 28/04/2016. I haven't received any feedback regarding the visa yet, and the embassy is not helpful at all, they answer absolutly no questions. Is there anyway I can contact the forgein office in Stuttgart or make the process go faster? My father in law has just passed away and I really need to support my husband. How long does the family reunion visa normally take to process?

Hi,

sorry to hear about your father in-law. The family reunion visa takes 3-6 months, as the German Embassy must do a complete background check. Depending on whether an applicant lives in a big city or in a remote town, the processing time can vary. So please have some patience and i hope soon you will be granted the visa.

Best regards,
Raj
