How to convert a student visa to a family reunion visa?

[swapnadip 1]

My wife is currently studying in a German university. She wants to convert her visa to family reunion as my dependant (I am not an EU citizen).

Is it possible to convert a student visa into a family reunion visa? If yes what is the process?

It is possible. Call ABH and they will direct you. Usually , you need to provide 3 months salary slip, and rental contract of sufficiently large apartment.

If you are not yet registered as a couple , then they may ask you to do a marriage certificate verification.

@jubinjohn What's the process for marriage certificate verification? Does she have to return back to her home country for that?

In my knowledge ,some govt institution is doing that with a fee. Auslanderbehoerde will direct you therr. You can try with an interpreted copy of your marriage certificate at first , may be they will accept it. 

 

I don't think she needs to go back to her home country just for verification .
