Blue Card Application filed at Mumbai Consulate along with spouse
spouse visa blue card marriage verfication marriage verification for germany visa

14.05.14 10:04
Dear All,

I have got a job offer from a German company with joining date as July 1st and I along with my wife have filed our application at German consulate, Mumbai on 08th May, 2014. 

On 13th May ( after 3 working days from application submission date ), my wife had received an e-mail from one of the officials of Mumbai consulate asking her to submit a DD for Rs. 15,730/- to verify the authenticity of the marriage certificate. They also mentioned that it will take 8-12 weeks for the verification to finish, post which the feedback of the marriage verification will be sent to German Authorities in Alien Office.

I am planning to submit the DD tommorrow and I will keep you posted on my case as and when I get udpates. Is there anyone who also applied for Blue Card at Mumbai Consulate along with spouse and are in the same boat, please do connect with me as we can discuss further on series of events. 

Hoping for the best.

Vfs germany website has all document checklist.

You don't need a visa agent. Visa agent will not add any value other than collecting documents from you.


Good luck

I totally agree with the above reply from cebit. 

I took all the documents that have been mentioned in the Checklist except Job Profile document as it was not required for the Blue Card Applications.

Once you get into the consulate, they will ask all the members to sit in an open area where the chairs are available. And, they will give you a document that has the order in which you need to arrange the documents. Please note that you need to write the name, passport number and telephone number on the backside of your DD. Total no. of photographs that are required would be only 3 ( 2 Photographs on aplication form + 1 additional photograph that they will ask you which will be used for scanning it to issue your visa once the consulate folks receieve the approval from German authorities.

Are you also applying it along with your wife ??  When did you schedule your appointment at Consulate ?

A quick update on spouse's visa is that I had submitted the DD at Mumbai Consulate via courier and they reverted to us with an acknowledgement mail mentioning that they receieved the DD and they also sent a PDF version of the receiept to us. We are hoping that the marriage verification will start now and get over as quickly as possible.

However, we do not know how much time this would take. Hope it gets through quickly so that I can travel along with my wife.

Is there anyone who is in the same boat ?

Hello Sachin,

No. I have not got any reply from the consulate yet. Is your application a blue card application ? 

Did you have pre-approval in your case ? If you have pre-approval you may get the visa in 10 days. But, if you do not have pre-approval you need to wait for sometime ( like me ... )

Wishing you all the best !!

Hello Sachin,

No, now it is not possible to get the approval as you have already filed the application. Also, in your applivcation form you wouldn't have entered the approval id. So, you just to wait now like me to get the status. We are travelling in the same boat emoticon

Hi Babu,

I really appreciate your valuable comments! Thanks emoticon

Fortunately I can correct you in this case ;-

It is still possible for the German company to get in contact with the local foreigner office and ask for their support/pre approval. It just depends on how good the relation is.

In my case (for netWalk IS) I did it and they did the approval in 2 days and faxed it directly to the visa office in India. A couple of days later the new netWalk engineer got his visa.

Good luck

Hello Detlef,

Thank you for the valuable comment. It is good to hear that there is a flexibility of doing this here. 

In my case; when I contacted the third party relocation agency, they said it is not possible. Anyhow, it is good to hear that there is such a flexibility. 

Detlef, 

A quick question to you...I have filed my applicaiton on 08th May and the hard copy of the application documents have reached Germany on 21st May. How much more time would it take to process my case ? Would you have any idea ? It is a Blue Card application with indefinite time of contract with a German employer.

Looking forward to see a reply from you.

Hello Santhu,

In the Visa application, you might have mentioned your contact details ( Email, Address and Telphone number ). So, they pick your e-mail id from there and send you an e-mail.

Hello Sachin,

To answer the above question, I have been asked by the concerned person who had sent the e-mail to me to submit the DD via courier to the address mentioned by her in the e-mail. I hope she must have mentioned something like that in the e-mail sent to you. If nothing has been mentioned, then I think it is better to go in person and submit it or give a call to the consulate and ask them for further steps.

Hope this helps.

Hi Cebit,

Thanks for the update. But one thing to clarify, this 2-3 weeks are including the work permit processing time or just VISA stamping time because I found that in the consulate website it is mentioned that 6-8 weeks is the WP processing time.

Thanks & Regards,
