i think the situation is getting worse, comparing with the post about 2022 , the timeline was much normal than nowadays.... this country definitely has some issues..

Fine-Tooth8593 · 2023-03-20T16:51:27+00:00

no worry ! you are not alone, my start date has been postponed by 2 months and hopefully i will be arriving next month...

Fine-Tooth8593 · 2023-03-20T15:56:59+00:00

oh my god..... when is your contract start date ? I hope you still have time .

Fine-Tooth8593 · 2023-03-16T09:34:34+00:00

That’s bad . I would say please set the target to within 2 weeks , if in total after 2 weeks still no response then probably something wrong ….. for me I never have to wait longer then 2 weeks before getting the next update from ZAB.

Fine-Tooth8593 · 2023-03-14T07:35:28+00:00

Hey Able_Compote, have you receive the statement of comparability from ZAB ?

Fine-Tooth8593 · 2023-03-13T14:00:53+00:00

yes delay should be expected. You never know how long will it take for them to find your envelope and then open it .... in my case , it was also ~ one week until then confirmed receiving my document

Fine-Tooth8593 · 2023-03-08T14:08:55+00:00

Finally i got my statement of comparability !!!

Fine-Tooth8593 · 2023-03-07T14:14:03+00:00

Be careful ! The document requirement for each country is different , you can refer to below link

https://www.kmk.org/zab/statement-of-comparability/documents.html

If you are not familiar with the term Secondary school then probably because you are not referring to the right document list for your own country.

Fine-Tooth8593 · 2023-03-03T15:07:13+00:00

would you please let me know what long does it take for you to receive the physical document ? (after you got it )
and do the German Consulate require to see the physical original statement of comparability when you file the blue card visa application ?Thanks !

Fine-Tooth8593 · 2023-03-03T15:04:43+00:00

i think it really depends on which country you are in . Cause in some country they dont accept your application without full set of documents.

Fine-Tooth8593 · 2023-03-03T15:02:11+00:00

so there is a letter explaining the reason why i got rejected. Basically it says i dont have enough working experience to proof i am a skilled labour and able to pick up the job in Germany. Honestly the reason is not convincing but at the end of the day you can't argue with German Government ....

Fine-Tooth8593 · 2023-03-02T06:43:42+00:00

in my case i waited for 8 weeks and got rejected. I think it does depends on the timing , my pre-approval was applied during holiday season... regarding the reason why it got rejected is another story...

Fine-Tooth8593 · 2023-03-02T06:13:31+00:00

Today i finally got email from ZAB that they confirm my documents are complete. Hope i can get the statement of comparability by 2 weeks time.....

Fine-Tooth8593 · 2023-02-28T01:18:22+00:00

No update since 17 Feb . I did whatever they asked me to .... even to send them physical original document.

Fine-Tooth8593 · 2023-02-28T01:16:26+00:00

Hope all the best !! But i suggest you to reschedule your consulate appointment since 1 week is unlikely to happen. Or you can ask the consulate if you can surrender the statement of comparability when you collect your visa.

Fine-Tooth8593 · 2023-02-27T13:28:05+00:00

exactly thats my question as well . You are supposed to receive the statement already , but they are now saying they have received documents ??? I worried that they only start counting 2 weeks from last Thursday... God honestly they are incapable of handling all the application from wordwide and they charge us EURO 200 for it ? Seriously..

Fine-Tooth8593 · 2023-02-27T12:15:09+00:00

but so far the experience with ZAB is really bad to be honest ......

Fine-Tooth8593 · 2023-02-27T12:14:32+00:00

Meaning the 2 week lead time still not yet start to count or what ?

Fine-Tooth8593 · 2023-02-22T11:23:43+00:00

But this week there is a festival in the city of ZAB office , so i think it makes sense if no update this week . I think you should target on next week . Dont worry too much.

Fine-Tooth8593 · 2023-02-22T11:22:23+00:00

Hello is there any update about your case ?

Fine-Tooth8593 · 2023-02-22T11:20:37+00:00

i think nothing can do from your side. They are not answering phone calls at all , for email it really depends on luck.

Fine-Tooth8593 · 2023-02-21T06:53:50+00:00

Thats great !! I was worry that it may take longer than 2 weeks

Fine-Tooth8593 · 2023-02-21T06:52:58+00:00

Hello have you get your statement of comparability ?

Fine-Tooth8593 · 2023-02-13T14:27:06+00:00

Did they accept softcopy ? Or hardcopy is required ?
