Visa Questions

RE: Spouse Visa_Delhi Consulate_German Embassy_Sharing Experience

Alternar
Dear All,

Since this forum has helped me a lot preparing my wife's application for sopuse Visa, I would like to share my experience, may be it will help others like me.

So, as it goes with timings-
1. We got married November end 2014 and got our marriage registered at local registrar office (U.P) on 11th of December with all the necessary documents required to submit there.
2. Appeared for a visa appointment at Delhi Consulate on 15th December. Everything was in order, all the documents as mentioned on the Embassy website for North Indian applicants. Visa officer took everything without asking much questions and pasted slips on few documents (Marriage certificate, Birth certificate, 12th marksheet) stating that further verification will be needed.
3. On January 3rd and 4th, verification officer visited both of our houses and inquired about every little thing possible related to marriage & other (when, where, how, photos, honeymoon tickets-reservation-photos, ration card, aadhar card, neighbors etc..). I would suggest to keep them handy with you.
4. Coming to Germany I cntacted local ABH office asking if application has arrived, she said yes and needs 2 weeks of time to process bacause of backlog during christmas and new year vacation.
5. January 21st I called again and the officer told me what was needed more to submit (Job, bank, rent details). I forwarded them all on 21st itslef via email.
6. 29th Jan she replied back saying everything is fine and just is waiting for my PR decision (I had applied for it in November).
7. 3rd February I got my PR and forwarded it.
8. 4th feb my wife got an email to submit the passport.
9. She submited it on 5th and got the visa stamped without and problem

So, everythign went smooth and we got the Visa in less than 8 weeks including Christmas and new year break. Even we were surprised and were not at all prepared. But happy for sure to be together again so soon. The key is to have all the documents ready before you apply for the visa. Even if a single document is misisng they wont submit your application at consulate.

Once again, thansk to all for sharing your experiences in previous posts, it really helped us to make our application thorough. 

All the best to all who are in the process!

Regards
Punit
