Have a good day. Can you help me with this question. I had two employers for ferienjob program. And all of them already submitted documents to ZAV. So does it have any sense ?

Hallo Ms Anna, Thank you so much for sharing good knowledge. Over the recent years, I have been battling with paper work to submit to the Embassy.

I received a contract for Parcel Delivery Driver however when my employer applied for the Pre-Approval Letter, It was rejected citing that courier deliverers are not recognized as Professional drivers in Germany.

When I contacted one of the Federal Employment officer to explain my grievances, he advised me to request my employer to issue me a letter of guarantee that training to attain a EU drivers license shall be granted so I can submit to the Embassy which he did.

Just yesterday, I had a long awaited appointment, prepared to submit all my documents, unfortunately the visa officer didn’t concentrate much on the letters issued by the company but requested for the pre-approval letter, hence rejecting my application until I receive it. The consular upon closing my application had advised me to obtain the Application for Pre-approval from the Employer, but changed saddenly and instead requested for the letter.

My employer has initiated the process of acquiring the letter but I am still troubled whether I will receive it.

In brief, Can a pre- approval letter be issued to drivers particularly in the Delivery of goods using small vehicles? Kindly help shade more light Anna. Thank you!

Hello Janna,
My relocation agency requested the federal work agency for ZAV approval along with couple of documents via email and federal work agency replied back that as per the details "companies do not need approval from the federal employment agency because of that is is an employment without consent according to 18b" and residence act in connection with the employment ordinance. So my agency is suggesting to submit email copy of this at the time of visa

Will this work as zav pre approved or do they send and document
