Hi All,

I attended visa interview for German National Visa for employement on Feb 1st 2019, as I got an offer from a company in Berlin. My name in passport is "SAMARTH HANDUR" while in my degree certificate, name is only "SAMARTH". Will this create any issues? Is this the reason I am still waiting for visa?

Seeking urgent reply.

@samarth : Which consulate have you applied ?

I have appied in Bangalore Consulate.

I don't think so this should be a problem as it's just a surname which is not present.

Can you please help me with below queries : 
1. Did you submit the proof of German public health insurance  at the time of visa interview ?
2. Did you submit the proof of Travel insurance  at the time of visa interview ?
3. In application what did you answer for following quesitons : 
i)  Intended place of stay in Germany
ii) How will you be accommodated?
iii) Do you have health insurance that covers the Federal Republic of Germany?

1. Yes I submitted a letter from the German Insurance company stating that I am insured from the moment I join the company, which my employer has given me.
2. Yes I submitted Bajaj Allianz travel insurance for 2 months (costed me around 2k INR).
3. Intended place of stay in Germany -- FILLED COMPANY ADDRESS
    ii) How will you be accommodated? -- Tick "Others" and write "Company will provide me initial stay"
    iii) Do you have health insurance that covers the Federal Republic of Germany? -- NO
