Title: Appeal : Family reunion visa to Germany
Post by: sukanya29 on February 17, 2015, 09:26:10 pm
Dear All,

I hope to find answers to some of my queries through this forum. Many posts seemed very helpful and I am looking forward to your help.

I am an Indian citizen pursuing my PhD in Germany with a scholarship. My husband applied for a family reunion visa (as my spouse) to Germany but his application got rejected after three months. We would like to file an appeal against the decision. I have a few important questions :-

1. How long does it usually take for an appeal to be processed? My husband is a citizen of Bangladesh. So, he would be submitting his appeal at the German Embassy in Dhaka.

2. Does one also have to submit his passport along with the appeal? I am concerned because that means he would not be able to move anywhere, not even to India, without his passport until a new decision is reached.

Thanking you all in advance.

Regards,
Sukanya.

Appeal decisions usually take 30/60 days, but some embassies do not respect this time frame and take as much time as they need. No, you should not attach your passport to the appeal. With you good luck.
