I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at VFS Global (Köln) in Sep 2018
Interview
Classical BEI interview, polite, comfortable. First talk is the the HR recruiter, who is not engaged in operations, normally in zoom. Second talk is conducted by the future potential boss, head of the department, if that runs ok, you are invited to a personal meeting to discuss already the details
