Hi All,

I got a job offer from German employer and will be applying for German National Visa in the next weeks. 
While am planning to apply for my family visa together (under family re-union category), I am stuck with few questions:

1. In the spouse's documents checklist, one of the points mentioned is Proof of German knowledge (A1 level). My wife has not undergone any German language training. But she has already lived in Germany together with me earlier (on dependent visa) when I was on deputation for around 3 years. Moreover, she is also holding a post graduate masters degree from India. So will this be an advantage for her and considered as an  exemption scenario for German language requirement ? 
2. Verification of documents - Will it be required in her case for documents verification? As she has already been issued German dependent visa 2 times earlier, the documents like marriage certificate, birth certificate, etc should have been verified by Germany embassy already ? So in this case, the verification procedure may not be required ?

Please do shed some light on the above questions at the earliest.

Thanks
