Actually your tax return is overdue. Deadline for 23 was August 31. Will not make the best impression but good luck.

I didn't have to turn my tax papers in.(Frankfurt)

Perhaps they think there is something fishy about your documents.

Applied on the 8th of October in Frankfurt. Just got approved today.

Documents handed in:

1.Employment contract from 2004 and my added Remote work permission from 2020 All on company letterhead stating HRB number and Tax number .

2. Account statement from September plus account activity statement for October.

Financial Overview with a list of all my assets

Salary slip for September which shows year to date income as well.

3.All the other items passport,

Photo , current location proof have been uploaded as well.

Additional Consulate request:

Upload photo again. Too unclear.

Current statement from employer that I am working there.

That request was a little funny for me.

The company's name is my family name(not common).

On the company's letterhead I am listed as the CEO and they had my September payslip.

Ok so I wrote them a statement myself on letterhead.

Thanks everyone for their input. Applied today. Let's wait and see.
