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.
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.

Please Give me the solution My Wife is Proper German from birth i need to apply family visa can you please tell me Can i Do A1 Certificate Course ?
off course you have to proof A1 certificate to embassy and bro i stuck in same problem, even my wife is also german but i couldnt pass the A1 test so i am gona go again in test next month
yes you can do, Its quite simple and easy Test, if ur qualification is bachelor or higher then u can pass it in first attempt.
What is the procedure to change Nikah Nama from one UC to another ??? Can anybody please guide me.
Dear Ans, you would have to file a suit for declaration in the Family court. it’ll get registered at the union council concerned through a courts order. But, I have a question? why do you want to do this? Did, you already get objection from the embassy? If, transfer of the nikkah nama has been told to you by the lawyer, then don’t do anything. Wait for the response from the embassy. Otherwise, if its an embassy call, then there is no way to escape.
No i have not yet applied… Appointment is on 25th Jan.. But I heared the case of two people in which embassy raised the issue… so I though if I can make the correction beforehand. My wife already had visa issued on the same Nikah from Saudi Arabia .. it is also attested from Saudi Embassy … so should I change it before visa interview or ask my wife to appear for interview with same Nikah Nama ?? If suppose I have to change it then how much time is takes ??
Well! I would say, do not change it. Because, at the moment, you do not have reasons to change it. I mean, you do not have any written proof or a valid document stating that it should be changed. Otherwise doing so, will make your documents even more doubtful.
My wife was also asked by the lawyer to transfer the nikkah nama from UC-A to UC-B. But it was all verbal communication. And, only a way of getting bride money. We waited for the response from the embassy. However, the embassy didn’t raise any objection. Her visa got approved.
Iff, you get objection from the embassy then the process might take up to 3 months. But, in some cases it may also take one month. it depends how well UC co-operates with you guys.
How did you get your nikkah nama changed from one uc to another can u guide me the whole process? And did u make a new nikkah nama or something ?
@Muhammad , the same case is mine.i had the same issue of union council though neither embassay nor lawyer has objected. I applied in first weel of februray and lawyer came after 2 weeks.. still am waiting for visa.. what should i do

Hey, Sarah, you are from which city? I have also submitted documents in December, but I have not received the lawyer call yet. May be there are not much cases of my city
dear admin i want to know something that me and my wife had our nikah on telephone nikah was made by molvi who have no stamp and than i send documents to my wife through dhl post she sign and send me back than i asked the laywer to make my nikah register he get a molvi of F/8 which is other uc on my nikah nama also the option who did nikah and who rigister in who did nikah option we put the name and id card number of the molvi who have no stamp and on the register nikah option the one who did rigister nikah he put stamp and sign and than he also get us a marriage certificate which i send to my wife in switzerland and she got her family multiply visa can i apply for family visa on same nikah nama and marriage certificate she is coming here in 2 months and we will celebrate walima
after how much time the lawyer contacts after applying for family reunion visa/
mostly between 4-8 weeks
I have submitted my documents on 14 of December, but I haven’t received any cal from lawyer, what should I do? Should I call to embassy
nowadays visa processing time is 5/6 months. U should wait more. The lawyer will definitely come, may be he don’t have enough cases for verification of your city. Also Applicants are not allowed to contact embassy b4 (06) months for any visa related issues.
Okay, Thankyou ,
I applied for a spouse visa in Dec and in Jan the lawyer came and did the investigation I haven’t heard anything after that I wanted to know how much longer I have to wait and can I call the embassy to check the status if yes then on which number
nowadays processing time for family reunion visa is 05 months, so you should wait till May, Also applicants are not allowed to contact embassy before 06 months.
Okay can you guide ma what will be the next steps
but ur husband can visit rathaus and easily check the status of ur case.
i don’t think if Rathaus can tell the status of visa. Rathaus is like our union council . only Ausländerbehörde is concerned authority to reply about visa related matters.
Hallo admin..
I was applies family reunion visa in august 2016 but start of December embassy raised that I must change my nikah Nama to one union council to another who nikah had done.
I had change through court and submitted court documents to embassy in 15 January 2017..
Now how will be wait more to get visa call from Embassy..
Please anyone share experience..
How did you get your nikkah nama changed from one uc to another can u guide me the whole process? And did u make a new nikkah nama or something ?
Phd student’s spouses are also exempted from german A1.
I applied for a spouse visa in December and a few days back my husband received a letter to submit some additional documents at the ABH so I just wanted to know how much longer will it be now that I will get my visa call and can they reject my visa now
i think 3 weeks more if all will b ok. Actually your husband have to prove them that he hv enough resources to support his family in Germany (i.e. proof of income ). There is relaxation for German nationals but for foreigners if their income is not according to requirement of ABH (i think at least euro 1400) then visa can b delayed.
He is a blue card holder and has been in Germany for more than 3 years now will that help
yes.. i think so
Are there still chances that my visa could get rejected
Mostly with a blue card holder , the visa should arrive soon.
Hallo admin. My husband has residence permit for unlimited period .. Mean ( unbefristet) and have job earn money 900 euro per month..
Has Chance to reject my family reunion visa for germany for reason of little job..

An income (net) of EUR 1,579.02 is available.

Hello raffay did you recive any kind of response from embassy because i have also submitted my documents in april
your husband need at least 1250 Euro.(min calculation is:- 450 house rent, 600 living expense for two persons and 200 other expenses (i.e. utility bills). this is least, but for smooth processing you need 1600.

bro there are two ways to get birth certificate from UC, First one is shortcut like fill up form attache prof of birth certificate (mostly matriculation mark sheet) pay some money and get ur birth certificate in few hours. in that case UC don’t show the file to anyone and also this way of getting birth certificate is not acceptable by embassy anymore.
2nd is fill up form, secretary of uc will mark to dc office , dc office will mark to District health officer, Distric health officer will ask for medical examination from any Govt Hospital for verification of age, after medical examination you can get birth certificate from UC, this procedure require at least one month. this procedure of getting birth certificate is acceptable by embassy. if you hv followed 2nd one then you need not to worry, but if you hv gotten birth certificate through first one then there may be some problem. in that case you have to go for re registration and then cancellation of first one from through court.
please be noted registration through 2nd one(as mentioned above) is called (late registration By Laws 2015.)
Nono my file is there in backup and all documents are complete like affidavit daee affidavit in which hands i was born affidavit of parents and mark sheet of matric but as the people in that office really don,t want to look record because it take sometimes days they just said to lawyer that all if fine with this person and his entry is done after aproving of chairman of the office and also chairman stamp on my birth certificate and sign it

Helow admin i submitted my paper in embassy on 23jan and yesterday lawyer was came to embassy for my document verfication n he done it and took some pics and more proof to me n gone, i wanted to ask how long it will take to send paper in germany for verfication of my wife n my visa approval? I had been in language test twice but couldnt pass n i am going third time now, is it gona put any effect on my visa? Or they will approve my visa to germany n send it in embassy n then wait for my language certificate, is it possible? And what if i couldnt pass language test in 5 attempt in 1 year then what is gona happen?

I have a query and its urgent. I applied for family reunion visa in 1st week of february at karachi German Consulate and lawyer visited after 2 weeks. Its been 2 months i hadnt heard from consulate about visa/ interview.
I have read people queries about problem related to union council difference in Nikkah nama i.e. if nikkah nama has different union council than the area you are living , it creates problem and one has to get it corrected via family court..
In my case the union council of my / husband’s area of residence is not same as in nikkah nama. Does visa gets approved without going through the changing of union council process as i havent been objected by the lawyer or consulate.
At what stage the council informs.does it inform initially?
Confused and waiting..
Nikkah registered in Bride’s UC not in Groom. if your husband lives in different UC then it wont be any problem, also if you did not receive any objection yet then why r u worried??
Yes i didnt get any objection. I am asking.
● If such mistake is made of union council… when does the consulate informs you?
● in my case neither union council falls in my or my husband residential area. Will it create problem. As usually many people have but some dont have and get visa approved.
AOA……kea koi bataye ga family reunion visa k lea travel insurance kitni amount tak ki kerwani hey ?? insurance companies k different packages hain, 10000, 25000 and 50000 dollars. Embassy kon sa accept kerti hey

Sana u need to make polio certificate n travel insurance, so make those two papers n bring them with ur passport to embassy, this is all u need to do, how long embassy took in ur this process? Is it ur spouse visa or student?
@ sana. your visa is ready so it will take one or two hour to stamp your visa. on the day of appointment you will submit your passport and 90 days travel insurance. They will verify online whether your insurance is ok or not. on insurance you have to mention your date of travel.. Your visa will start from the date of travel. now its up to you when you want to travel.
How long it takes to grant visa to you ? How many month
