I read on your website [https://handbookgermany.de/en/family-reunification-for-immigrants] that babies up to two years old are not counted in the space requirements for the family reunification process.
Is this information confirmed and applicable across all German states? And are the staff at immigration offices and embassies aware of it?
I'm asking because my apartment is 35 sqm, and I'm trying to bring my wife and 1-year-old son to live with me here (I have a Blue Card). My wife is pregnant, currently in her 4th month. If the unborn child is considered in the space requirements, then the 35 sqm won't be sufficient (12sqm x 2 and 10sqm x 2). But if babies under two years old are not counted, then everything is fine.
Thanks, that's very helpful! that's great news, my 1 year old son is still far from turning 2, so I suppose that 35sqm will be more than enough :)
I live in Hamburg, and my rent contract shows only one field of living space, which indicates 35sqm.
