Hello, my husband is Pakistani and lives in Islamabad. I am Turkish, have a German passport and live in Germany. We want to live together in Germany.
He applied for an appointment for Family Reunion Visa for Germany at Islamabad embassy in January 2023. How long is the estimated time until he gets an appointment? He still hasn't gotten an appointment. Thank you. Kind regards
Hello Blume2024, thank you for reaching out to us.
Unfortunately, we cannot tell you how long the waiting time for an appointment is. Did he apply for family reunion to a German citizen?
Unfortunately, there is not enough staff at the embassy, and the visa processes can take a while. If it takes too long, sometimes it also makes sense to contact a lawyer and see what the issue is. You can also contact the association for bi-national couples https://www.verband-binationaler.de/beratung
Please note in order for you husband to join you in Germany, he will need a valid passport and A1 level German, he will also need to show the marriage certificate as well as a certified copy of your passport.
Depending on the embassy they might ask him for additional papers.
If you have further questions, please do not hesitate to ask us.
Best wishes.
