According to the German Embassy website, all students are respectfully asked to register for an appointment only if they have collected all required documents. Since there are still a lot of entries on the appointment queue for the winter semester 2022, students must keep in mind that the embassy/consulates are unable to check who is in possession of a still valid admission from a German university.
However, visa applications will now require additional paperwork. The action was performed only to expedite admission and visa processing.
