Dear Visa Applicants & Others on this forum,

Thank you for posting some really useful information about the visa application and processing. This really breaks some stress associated with the application. 

I would like to understand, on an average, how many days does the German Consulate in Mumbai take to process the Work Visa (Category D)?

Though, I have read a few posts already that clearly states that this time period varies from 4 to 8 weeks. But, is there anyone for whom it actually took more than 4 weeks? And, if yes, what was the time period it took for your visa to have processed through Mumbai office?

And also, would you know the reasons for this longer processing period cos in most cases it has been around 2 weeks.

Sehr Danke in advance emoticon

Hoping to hear expert advice from the forum members.

Regards,
Vishal

Hallo Mr. Vishal shah,
Be cool. Dont know the reason for delay. So please wait upto 8 weeks. You cannot fasten the process anyways.

Sure you will get an approval email soon.#

All the best

Hi,

I got my visa approval yesterday. It took a little over 3 weeks for the approval to come through.

Hi Vishal,

Did you have a pre-authorization to work in Germany already while applying for visa?

Thanks,

Hey Ankur,

I did not have a pre-authorization letter from the German government/ Federal agency. I had a contract with my company in Germany which I had submitted for the work visa. That should suffice. Even though a letter from federal agency would mean much quicker turn-around time from what I understand.

Hope that helps.

Hey Charul.
I am still waiting for my visa approval. I apperead at the consulate in Mumbai on 2nd July '17.

I faced a problem during the interview, the interviewer told me that my ZAV (pre-work approval) was incorrect, and asked me to submit a revised copy of it. Luckily, the relocation agency that is helping me managed to get a revised copy on the same day. I submitted this new version via email, as instructed by the consulate. But I still haven't heard from them. Frankly, I am a bit worried because of the glitch occured during the process. 

Did anyone else had to go through a similar ordeal? Could you kindly share your experience?
Many thanks!
