Try a different consulate or German embassy in another country!

Hello,

I'm from India. I had my Job seeker visa appointment at Mumbai consulate on 19 Dec 2017. My application was approved, the verification was complete and the report was submitted to the consulate. It is mentioned that it takes 8-12 weeks for the visa but now it is 17 weeks 4 days. When I call the Mumbai consulate they ask me to send email for seeking update. However when I send email for update they send auto-replies. I sent 3 emails on different dates and I got the same response. I have an interview invite from a company in Germany and this delay in the visa arrival is causing me to be more impatient.
Anyone has faced this delay or has any idea of such problem, kindly share.

beppi

It seems the consulate is so flooded with JSV applications that they cannot cope.
Maybe you can get another kind of visa (e.g. normal tourist visa) to attend the interview. A JSV is not needed for that!

trupti0607

Thank you for your reply. Is it possible to apply for another visa(Travel Visa) when a National visa is in process?

beppi

I think yes, but you better confirm with the embassy.
You could also get a Schengen visa for another EU country and travel to Germany with that.

aneesh

I don't think you can apply another visa type to the same consulate while one application for another visa type is already in process. But yes, as Beppi suggested, please do check with the consulate.
Also applying for another schengen country (is a good idea) at the same time, can be a bit risky as all the schnegen visa systems talk to each other.

trupti0607

Thank you Aneeshks and Beppi. I shall call the consulate and ask the queries. Alternatively I believe walking in to the Mumbai consulate and asking update on my JSV will be better before I proceed with the next step.
Thank you for your advice.

Rakesh0870

The slots will be open at 12 am Germany time , and the slots will be open for few seconds only

Hi

I have a job offer from Germany and would like to apply for a National visa in Chennai consulate. This consulate only takes online appointments and it seems no slots available for the next 3 months.

Any clue on when new slots will be opened or how I can secure myself an appointment? or if I am eligible to book a slot in another consulate (if I am from Tamilnadu)

Hello

i am also experiencing difficulty with getting an appointment for jsv from Chennai consulate. Once it opened up and showed a date and time. On accepting, i was asked to fill in details. There is a field asking for Travel agency details and was with an * mark. I am doing it by self. I tried leaving it blank and i was not able to submit. Again i filled in as NA and by the time i finished and hit submit the slot wasn't available.

Also the checklist says that the passport should have atleast 12 months validity after the scheduled return. My passport expires on Jan 2020. Does that mean i should be back by Jan2019?

ferdijosy

Hi Baabu
