Immediate family members reunification

Hello @nooriii11 thank you for reaching out to us. It's great to hear that your father has obtained the necessary documents for permanent residency. Congratulations! Family reunification generally applies for immediate family members, such as spouses and minor, unmarried children. Based on the information you provided, you and your sibling are unfortunately to old to be considered for family reunification, except if there are humanitarian reasons apply. In such cases, it is recommended to explore other visa options that are suitable for your situation. Depending on your circumstances, you may need to apply for a separate visa, such as a work visa, student visa, or other appropriate visa category. Here you can find the different types of visa: https://handbookgermany.de/en/immigration . To apply for family reunification, the family members will need to book and appointment and submit their applications at the responsible German embassy or consulate in their home country. The process typically involves providing certain documents, such as passports, marriage certificates, birth certificates, proof of family relationship, and proof of accommodation and financial means. You can have a look at the requirements here: https://handbookgermany.de/en/family-reunification-for-immigrants#faq_7… Please note that each embassy have slightly different requirements of documents that have to be submitted. If you tell me the city or the next big city your wife is currently living, I can check the needed documents for the application. Please let me know if you have further questions.

Hello thanks for getting back to me and my apologies for the misunderstanding. . Indeed, if your father is recognised as a person entitled to asylum, “resettlement refugee” or a refugee under the Geneva Refugee Convention, he can bring his immediate family to Germany. Please note that there are easier requirements if your father applies 3 months after he receives his recognition as a refugee/person entitled to asylum in Germany. With an application for family reunification within the first 3 months, your father doesn't need to show a secured livelihood or enough space in the flat to accommodate his family. However, an application for family reunification to a refugee/person entitled to asylum still means that this applies to his spouse and underaged, unmarried children. If his children, as you mentioned, are over 18 years old, there are unfortunately, only hardship cases possible. Therefore, it is very recommendable to consultate a migration counselling and also get legal advice to discuss all the options. . In case the 3 months after his granted status are over or your father receives a permanent residency, he will need to meet more requirements, such as - Secured livelihood: He cannot receive any money from the Jobcentre or the Social Welfare Office. The exact level of income he needs to prove depends on the size of the expected family. The Immigration Office will check his income. - Your fathers flat must be big enough to accommodate the family who will come. In principle, the calculation is 12 square meters per person (aged 6 and over). In exceptional cases, a flat can be a bit smaller. - There must be a health insurance for your father and all expecting family members. There is also the possibility for a "family insurance". - German language skills: Spouses need to prove that they speak German at least at the A1 level. Usually, the spouse needs to present a certificate from a language school. Children between 16 and 18 years old need to present a language certificate with the level of C1.

Dear @nooriii11 thank you for getting back to us. Unfortunately, the waiting times, we know of, are more about a year until you will receive an appointment. My apologies for the bad news. Please make sure that you applied for an appointment through the German embassy in Kabul. You can find the link here: https://service2.diplo.de/rktermin/extern/choose_realmList.do?locationC… Through the registration process you need to decide were you want to submit your documents, in Teheran or Islamabad. Unfortunately, you cannot register for both places. There is an exception, if your mother and your brother have a residence permit in Pakistan for at least 6 months. Then they will be eligible to apply through the regular appointment system of Islamabad. Lastly, please make sure that you registered through the website of "Auswärtige Amt" to make sure that your "fristwahrende Anzeige" was registered in the first 3 months: https://fap.diplo.de/webportal/desktop/index.html#start . It is very recommended to reach out to a migration counselling center or additionally get legal advise who can accompany your and your families case through the process. Unfortunately, I cannot find Schlitz as a city. Could you please tell me the zip code of your fathers place? Alternatively, you can look by yourself on the website of BAMF: https://bamf-navi.bamf.de/en/Themen/Migrationsberatung/ I hope that you and your family receive appointments soon. Happy to get your feedback.
