So as expected the whole Aktionismus died.....

No one wrote to me so far.

I got the following reply of my complained letter/query regarding my sister's visiting visa rejection and asked them how to procced and what extra document needed etc

"Upon receipt of your above mentioned e-mail I have revised the applicant's file.

Unfortunately, it is not possible to issue a visa, because the visa requirements are not being fulfilled at this time. With reference to the German Data Protection Law I am, however, unable to give you any further details regarding the reasons for the visa reject."

@ supersid

Well, during the years I made this experience very often. Unfortunately!

Nevertheless, when the 'Sommerloch' is over, I will try again to arouse some interest by journalists I know. I got almost 20 supporting emails and I feel responsible for the engineers who are working for my company, netWalk IS Ltd.

And I hate bureaucracy and stupidness!

I wish all of you a nice weekend
und viele Grüße aus Berlin
Detlef :-)

Hi Detlef,

Great to hear that you had already got 20 replies. Well you could forward them to me at gdizmunich@gmail.com and I could go through them to consolidate the problems and then send you back for a recheck.

Dear All,

was going thru the posts and wondered if there was any progress in the last months...I have a new story..since I was moving to germany for a few years and my mom is alone in india, we tried to apply for a long term visa, dependent...of course after 12 weeks, and some interviews, they rejected it...and then we applied now for a tourist visa..and guess what, they rejected that on the ground that there are insufficient reasons for return to India!!. Possibly the first application for the long term visa led to the second rejection as well...Now how do I get out of this?., so that we manage atleast a tourist visa.All help appreciated

@soorajith

If only you have researched on this subject before applying for a longterm visa, you wouldnt be in this situation. You shouldnt have applied for the visit visa so close after the rejection. That gives a doubt to the visa officer, that you are so desperate to bring your mother at any cost and she will stay in germany permanently after arriving.

Unfortunately there is nothing much you can do now. Since you cannot appeal the decision, just wait for a year and then apply for a visitors visa again. Maybe she will get it next time.

But take heart becos even if we have german citizenship we cannot bring our parents until it is an extreme hardship case.

@roundtheclock

Did you manage to get the visa for your mother.

Thanks

Hi,

It has been a long time since you posted this question, however, I am curious to know if your mother was able to get a long term visa...I am in a similar situation and it would be really helpful if you can guide me.

Thanks!
