Family Reunion – Pakistan – General info for all to avoid mistakes

By:
Abdul Majid Malik <majid.malik[@]yahoo.com>;
Dear Members Assalam-o-Alaikum,
I am writing this email to let members know few things about family reunion and some mistakes which must be avoided. If some friend is going to get married  in Pakistan, please tell him/her about these issues. Simple looking mistakes can cause big trouble and delay later in family reunion.
About Nikah Registration:
Registration of Nikah involves three people:  Nikah Khawan, Nikah Registrar  and Union council. UC gives a register with 50 leaves to Nikah-Registrar. Each leave contains Nikah Nama ” Form II” in quadruplicate. In one UC , only a single Registrar can have the register.  In usual case, Nikah Khawan goes to Registrar(if he is himself not a registrar) and gets a Nikah nama Form II (which has fours copies). One copy each (filled and signed) is given to  Duhla, Dulhan,Registrar and UC.
1. Take care that Nikah is registered at the same Union Council where Nikah has taken place .Address written on filled Nikahnama should be in the UC where Nikah is registered.  Any thing different to this created big problem for many ,especially those who did Nikha in a Marriage Hall and brought Molvi sahib from some other UC. If you made this mistake, count a delay of at least 3 months. Embassy will raise objection as the lawyer sent for Marriage verification would like to see your Nikah registered at the same UC as address written on Nikahnama. You may be to asked to change registration of your marriage from one UC to other through a court procedure in Pakistan.
2. Please closely check all the four copies of the filled Nikah-Nama for any mistake in names, ID card nr., date of birth etc. Check that all signatures are there at right place and stamp of Nikah-Registrar is present. Many take things lightly in Pakistan while filling forms.
3. Telephonic Nikah is big no no. You must be present there as German Embassy/consulate now checks it from entry and exit stamps on your passport. If there are some unavoidable circumstances, give a written power of attorney which has legal value i.e signed in front of Notary Public/judge or from Pakistani embassy/consulate (in case they deal with it) to your father to represent you during Nikah.  Better be present there. Your absence will complicate the matters and hence the delay/rejection as a consequence.
4.  Carefully read the requirements of Embassy for Family reunion. If any question arises, call embassy to get an answer. Don’t rely blindly on the info collected from here and there.
5. Some people I talked to have made mistake while getting online appointment. You mad a mistake in name, passport number or email address than most probably you will not be able to submit documents on that day. In my experience, if you decide to take an appointment for family reunion, you normally get it after 4 to 6 weeks. So missing an appointment can be source of further delay.6. The interview by lawyer or at embassy may involve basic questions from your spouse about you. Newly married; make sure he/she has all the basic info about you.

7. Spouse of a Blue Card holder is exempted from providing A-1 German language certificate. About this, don’t believe on what they say on phone :). If your spouse can’t manage to do a language course in Pakistan, present following reference of the concerned Law  as proof on your appointment day:

http://www.bluecard-eu.de/eu-blue-card-germany/residence-act/spouse.html 

http://www.gesetze-im-internet.de/aufenthg_2004/__30.html

8. In some cities, there were cases when Ausländerbehorde(ABH) objected that the spouse in Germany is passing through the probation period of job.  In some cities ,they ask for salary slips of 6 months while in others only for 3 months or just a job contract. Talk to other Pakistanis/Indians who have experience of dealing with the same ABH  so that you can proceed accordingly.

Please correct if I am wrong on any account. The info is based on posts of members on this forum, experiences of acquaintances and my personal experience.

If you know some other issues which you or someone known to you faced, kindly share on this forum. This will facilitate others in their family reunion.

    Dear writer,

    Thank you for the detailed information regarding the family reunion visa much appreciated. I recently moved back from the UK to get married to my Romanian national fiance who is currently living in Germany for the past 2 years and is self employed, we made a plan to get married in Pakistan as we want to have a family wedding.

    What kind of documents does she needs to bring with herself regarding the marriage and for me to apply for the visa later on ?

    I have dug some information which got to me a conclusion that she needs to come here and write a stamp paper deceleration that she is not kidnapped or being forced to get married (lol that’s just dumb what era are we living in) and then we need to get married with all the above mentioned nikkah information,

    Do I need to register my marriage with nadra as well? If so then do you have any idea on how to do it ? I found out you can get a form to do that after the marriage certificate is obtained, is it worth the trouble?

    Any kind of help will be greatly appreciated.
    And yes I’m living in islamabad.

    -Ali

    • Dear Ali ,

      Among other documents she would need her meldebeschingung etc. Full list of documents as mentioned on the German embassy website if you are to apply from Pakistan in Germany. http://www.pakistan.diplo.de/Vertretung/pakistan/en/06Legal/2__visa__longterm/1__Visa__FZ__Seite.html

      For registration , i think you have to visit your respective Town council. They would send your record to Nadra i suppose (like how they send for Birth certificate and such).

      Hope it helps.

      7 sep ko lawyer nay visit kiya hae or kaha hae tumahara sara case okay hae. Bus birth certificate doctor ki report kay matabak karwana agar tum ko embassy objection letter send kary gi..
      Abhi tak embassy nay contact nahi kiya meray saath or nahi ausslanderbehorde mei..
      My question is that..
      Embassy mera visa refuse kar sakty hae birth certificate ki wajah say or kitnay chances hei?
      Please reply me…plzzzzz

      • Ayesha

        same was my case, don’t worry. embassy will not reject unless your date of birth is same on all documents (passport, birth certificate, marriage certificate and nikkah nama and FRC).

        • fareeha butt

          Ayesha kiya mei aap say whattsapp par kontakt kar sakty hoon?

          • fareeha butt

            My all documents are to birth certificate…
            Kiya app ko visa mil gaya tha..?

          • roheel

            i got mistake with my father name, id of my dad its written that muhammad munir khan and on my all documents its written muhammad munir even passport, id, paper of marriage birth certificate but on frc its written muhammad munir khan,kindly let me know about this

          • Ayesha

            Yes, I got visa. Normally, lawyer do these things to put pressure and let one agree to pay bribe money. there is no such case to provide medical certificate as proof of birth. It happens only if a person died and the police wanted to verfiy his/her year of birth or someone has no previous record of birth certificate. Nadra or UC will not issue any certificate to let you go to any hospital. My lawyer was in Lahore and he was so irritating. But, then there was no objection from the embassy and i got visa in three months.

          • Mian

            @ Freeha..Birth Certificates k more then 60% cases ka koi na koi issue hota hey ..q k humaray akser late registered hotay hain… yeh koi serious issue nehi..ap ka case forward ho gea ho ga.Hope ap ka visa within nov aa jaye ga.

            @ Zoya Khan: it depends upon the number of applications daily received by Ausländerbehörde. normally it tk 6/7 week but nowadays due to Syrian Refugees its taking 3/4 months (specially in big cities like Berlin/Hamburg etc).

    • Usama Ahmed

      AOA Fatima,

      My wife with 2 kids applied for family reunion VISA on 23rd of June 2015. Local verification was quick and it was done the next month in July 2015. Since then we haven’t heard anything back from German Embassy Islamabad. 6 month is the processing time written on german embassy website. I also don’t know how much time should we wait before we contact them. My wife tried to contact on their landline numbers and found out numbers were not working. I will let you know incase if anything comes out.

      Thanks
      Usama Ahmed

  • Babar Baig

    Hey! I am going to apply for a Family Reunion Visa. However I am worried that there might be some problems as my Fiancee is still studying in University and I dont have a degree yet which I can use to get a good job in germany ( I plan to do my bachelors there though ) on top of this her father just lost his job a while ago due to disability and thus we are a bit tight on money.

    We contacted a lawyer who said that they cannot legally deny us a visa because of this and even their request for demanding the paper from auslanderbehorde which is only given if you are employed is illegal. She is going to write a legal letter to the embassy and I am going to submit my application in a couple of days. The standsamt has accepted the marriage and issued us the paper detailing the marriage date etc which is at the end of July. Do you think there might be issues with this ?

  • sana

    Hi admin what want ask something my marriage verification has been done by islamabad embassy someone visited to me from islamabad embassy and verified all documents and last month i visited karachi consulate and applied for family reunion visa my wife is there and she is EU member its been 5 weeks i have applied and how long does it take and i will have to go again for interview or what

  • Muhammad

    Dear Admin, today a lawyer visited our house at lahore. he raised an object on nikkah nama that it has to be registered at the same UC where nikkah was recited. secondly, he has asked to provide medical certificate as a proof of her birth year which has to be attested by an MS from a hospital. It happened because her birth certificate entry was ‘Late’. Do you have any information regarding the nikkah nama transfer from one UC to another one? how long does it takes and what exactly is the procedure?

    Looking forward for your kind reply

    • Babar Baig

      How long ago did you apply for the Visa until the Lawyer physically visited you?

      • Muhammad

        It took almost 5 weeks. Do you have any information regarding my query?

        • Babar Baig

          It shouldnt take that long honestly…just the paperwork is tedious and will take time :/

        • Babar Baig

          It gonna delay you around 2 months I think because they will want to verify the new documents all over again. What kindof questions did the lawyer ask you ? Was it like a mini interview of sorts ?

          • Muhammad

            but do you know, if my wife would really have to transfer Nikkah nama from one UC to another through the court? because the lawyer said, he will write to embassy that nikkah was taken place at another place. however, embassy might over-look this, or otherwise they would contact you with the objection letter.

            He mostly focused on getting medical certificate for age verification.

            You are right, it was a mini interview; mostly the questions asked were related to family members. Like their name, number of children, their date of marriage. Many questions doesn’t makes sense. And the lawyer was also keep on saying that in some cases it also takes years and then people are required to hire a lawyer who then spend 2-3 Lac Rs to fix the documents. He was discouraging like he was already prepared to send a negative report to the embassy. Although all documents are originals.

            It was such a bad experience.

          • Babar Baig

            Well Lawyers are trained twats mate :) She could have argued back with her documents from school along with Form C Form D etc to establish herself but if he really wants to be an ass then what can you do. I have heard the thing about the Nikah nama about it having to be registered with the correct UC …so that is a valid mistake you have to correct. I dont think a lawyer is needed as long as you have some contacts and money for mithai :)

          • Muhammad

            moreover, the lawyer was rude. Actually, my wife went to the hospital for tests, so that she may get birth year certificate attested by the MS. Dr. said, they do not issue any such certificate only if its a police case or if it is requested by the court.
            To her surprise, she called the lawyer that she needs an authority letter, he replied “hum noker nahi hain German embassy walo k, k ye kaam bhi kerain”. He also said, that we are not allowed to pick up private calls. His attitude is totally un-acceptable. Don’t know if the lawyer needs bribe or what.

            is it possible to change the lawyer? Does anyone here has such an experience? I really want to complaint about the lawyer directly to the german ambassador to pakistan via a Fax/ letter or even through a German lawyer. Any suggestions?

    Dear sir mara nikha October 2015 ko hova ha mare wife german national ha hamara nikha hotal ma hova butt molive jes na nikha parhwaie vo mare wife ke jes UC ma stay ta vaha sa aya ta or odher he mara nikha register hova or same address nikha nama per lekha ha.kya ya wrong ha? Or mujy 20 din phaly visa lawyer na visit be kar lia ha. Mujy nikha kya hotal walie UC ma change karna pary ga? Plzz tell me. Mujy abe tak embassy sa koe reply nai aya. Mujy visa lawyer na ya kal phone per bola ha ka ma nikha dosree UC ma change karwao. Kya ma us ka kahna per asa karo ya embassy ka reply ka wait karo. Plzzz help me plzzzz

    • Ali Raza

      nikah nama or marriage certificate dono ek UC main registered hone chaye hai now wait of embassy answer.

      • Ali Raza

        if lawyer said then do it, dont waste your time cos if they submit case then need wait of answer

        • Muhammad

          But, how is that possible to transfer nikkah nama to another UC without having any written remarks. Lawyer only said on the telephone. now if, the lawyer submits report to embassy with negative remark and meanwhile the nikkah nama is transferred to another UC without any objection reference then it might create problem? or? because then the embassy will find ambiguity on second verification that previously the nikkah was in another UC and now it is in another UC?

        • Ahmad

          Lawyer na mujy phone call per he ya bola ha to ma ak call mean us ka kahna per apne UC change karwa lo?? Butt jo file ma na already embassy ma jama karwiea ha or jo German ma be pohanch gai ha. To ya to wrong nai ho jay ga?? Jub tak mujy embassy nai boltie mujy wait nai karna chiay ya ma lawyer ka kahna per he UC change karwa lo?? Or ak UC sa dosree UC ma change kasa ho ga or katna time laga ga plzz tell me??

          • Muhammad

            the file is already in Germany? or only your record is here?
            if they have already sent the documents to Germany, then there should not be an issue. Otherwise, why would the home embassy send incomplete/doubtful documents to the ausländerbehörde?

            your wife submitted papers there in ausländerbehörde so here must be same papers so dont try change papers that create problem so you need to wait of embassy answer if you change papers they will accept marriage or make objection on papers

          • Ali Raza

        Dear mara nikah nama or marriage certificate dono ek UC main registered ha bas nikah he hotal ma parhwaie gai ta bake dono cheezy ak he UC ma registered ha

        • Muhammad

          I am facing exactly the same issue these days. and I am hearing different stories. some people are saying, do not transfer nikkah nama until we get objection from the embassy. and then we can file a case in the court based on the reference document from the embassy that we want to transfer nikkah nama as per Embassy requirement. As of domestic law in Pakistan, nikkah can be registered at any other place. however, international law can be different. At the moment, we have nothing in written to proceed.

          I am facing another problem of Birth Certificate. The lawyer has asked my wife to submit Medical Certificate signed by Medical Superintendent. However, none of the department in Pakistan either NADRA, UC or Hospital are helping to issue that certificate. Lawyer from the embassy is pushing us to the wall, we are totally blocked. So, I have double trouble. Perhaps its better that we get written objection from the embassy, so that we may carry out the process legally through the court.

    • Ali Raza

      if you have same UC papers then there is not problem at all then why lawyer
      saying change to another UC that might be big problem cos lawyer need collect info and verify papers and that is embassy job to decide not lawyer just try convince lawyer assure him all douments are true and complete thats it

      • Ali Raza

        best way to marriage forigners is court marriage.

  • Ahmed

    – proof of sufficient basic knowledge of the German language
    proof not required by:
    – applicants whose spouse is an acknowledged asylum seeker or refugees according to the Geneva Convention for Refugees if the marriage already existed at the time when he or she established their main ordinary residence outside Pakistan
    – applicants whose spouse is a Blue Card holder
    – applicants who apply for family reunion with their spouse who is a citizen of a EU member state other than Germany
    – applicants who apply for family reunion with their German child

    Salam,
    I was going through this site. I didn’t fully understand the point below.

    “””Embassy will raise objection as the lawyer sent for Marriage verification would like to see your Nikah registered at the same UC as address written on Nikahnama. “””

    For example, in my case, the molvi sb! who solemnised nikkah in the marriage hall wrote address of my wife’s home, and the nikkah is also registered in the same municipality’s UC where her home is. Now, do we have to transfer our nikkah nama to another UC close to the marriage hall? In this case, nikkah will be regsitered to UC A, but molvi sb! was regsitered to UC 1? will that not create ambiguity?

    Now a days, many people like to solemnise nikkah at Badshahi Mosque Lahore, for example. but they came far from places. They bring molvi sb! from their area, they put address on nikkah of their area, not Badshahi mosque and they also register nikkah at their very own area. In such a case, I don’t see any reason from the embassy to raise objection. If so, do we have to silently transfer the nikkah file, or we can hire a lawyer to defend our case?

    please advise.

    • Ahmad

  • Sara

    Hi, I am going to apply for Family Reunion as my husband is a german national. I just wanted to know that do i need to pass the A1 german language test as I am a qualified person and done my Mphil from a renowned university. Because few websites mention that in some cases, this language test is exempted.

    • Babar Baig

      Hey…I think you should be fine as long as its really an international standard university.

    • Naqqash

      Sara if you are intended to apply Family reunion visa then you must pass A1 exam because in Family reunion visa case you will submit only those documents which are related to you and your spouse not your educational documents so I recommend you that as soon as you can pass the A1 exam and be calm . Because I have submitted my Family reunion visa application just a month ago and I am also qualified Person and also pass A1 exam from NUML Islamabad ?

    • Hello,

      It doesnt matter what your qualification is. IF your spouse has a Blue card Or is a german national, then you are exempted from German A1 otherwise in ALL other cases you have present a certificate e-g from Goethe

  • Saim

    Asalam-o-Alikum. How much time it takes for visa approval after lawyer inquiry? Thanks
