Visa Questions

Passport collected during visa interview - German National visa Bangalore

Alternar
Hi All,

I have attended my visa interview for German national visa for employment (work permit long term) at bangalore consulate on 20 June 2017. I followed threads in this forum and it helped a lot to submit my application without much confusion. T

They asked me to keep passsport and degree certificate along with the application. I heard passport will be required only after approval from FEA. Any reason to keep passport during visa interview ? Also It is 8th working day after submission. I need to resign from current job based on visa approval status. Does it make sense to contact them for status ?

Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Vincent

Hi Vincet Joseph,

I have attended visa interview in Bangalore at 28 Jun, and I got the blue card visa approval and collected the passport at 30th Jun. For me it has taken only 2 days for visa stamping.
Yes it's true for my case as well, they have taken my passport & PG certificate during the interview.

Kind regards,
Chenna.

Hello Chenna,

Thank you for your reply. Congrats !!

Just wanted to know if your employer has provided FEA (Federal Employment Agency) approval for your job. Or you just submitted your work contract along with other documents? They told me 4-6 weeks of time it will take. Also, did they take the visa start date as the date you mentioned in application/cover letter.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Vincent,

I had my interview on the 30th of June and I called up the Bangalore Consulate today for an update. They told me that my passport is back and I can pick it up on Wednesday. I didn't have an FEA. My interviewer asked me as to when I would like to leave and made a note of that date. In the application, I had just mentioned July.

Thanks,
Saju.
