So what information did you have to provide in the end? And how long did the whole application process take?

My wife got another job offer in another town not under the Jurisdiction of the Bremen state, so we went to the to ABH in the city, who directed us to someone at the registry office who was asking that we need to legalize our marriage certificate before they could continue, we tried to explain that the wording on the visa signifies that it was OK with the Embassy that was why they issue me the visa in the first place, the woman at the registry office was convinced after seeing the wording, she rang the head of the ABH( Auslanderbehorde) after who said so long she is ok with the certificate he to is.
We went back to the ABH now and the man directed us to the EU section, the lady took copy of our passports and just booked an appointment for the 31 of July, and ask to bring my wife insurance and employment contract with a bio metric passport photograph, handed us the right form to fill in to be brought back on the 31st.
We attended with the documents, before we arrived she's been doing something on her computer, I found out the passport photograph I had used to apply for the entry visa back in Ghana was on her computer with my details, we handed the documents to her and then she checked and photocopied and took my finger prints for the Aufenthaltskarte, she said it's been issued in Berlin and that I should come back yesterday for a letter to confirm my residence. When we arrived she handed us the letter which says thus: This is to confirm that Mrxxx born on xxx is a family member of Eu burger and has been issued a residence card starting on 31.7.12 expires on 30.07.17, and that the Aufenthaltskarte has been order from the Bundes printing office in Berlin and could only be picked up at a latter date.
Someone at that same ABH told me I had to pay 28 Euros for the card and I thought well may be it's normal and it's just 28 Euros I didn't worry much, but this woman made no mention of such fee, am still wondering if she will ask for this money when I will be picking up the residence card or is just completely free? |

I also understand there is a charge for the card. You might be able to push back, though I am not sure it will work.
How long between when you booked your appointment and the 31st?
Glad it all worked out!
