When one Kadamb alumni opens a door to Europe, often the whole family walks through. Five multi-generational Kadamb stories — sibling pairs at TU Munich, married couples in Berlin, father-son intakes at TU Dresden, sister duos in Italy, and parents reuniting on family visas.
4.9/5 from 340+ Kadamb reviews | 500+ students placed | 96% Germany visa success | 2,500+ visa cases 2012-2026
Indian families do not migrate one at a time. They migrate in chains — one bold sibling first, then the next, then the spouse, then a parent visit, then permanent reunification. Kadamb Overseas has now placed 47 sibling pairs, 23 married couples, and supported 12 parent-reunification visas across Germany, France, Italy, Netherlands, and Belgium. Below, five Kadamb family stories. Each one shows how a single application, well executed, can extend into a family life built in Europe — and how Kadamb maps not just one student’s admission but the family’s 5 to 10-year migration arc.
Sibling pair — both M.Sc. Mechanical Engineering, TU Munich (2022 and 2023 intakes)
Munich, Germany
“Rajesh (older brother): I came to TU Munich in October 2022. My sister Pooja is two years younger — also mechanical engineering, also wanted Germany. Saumitra Sir at Kadamb deliberately structured my application strategy with Pooja’s 2023 intake in mind. He said: “If Rajesh succeeds, Pooja’s application becomes 5x stronger because the admissions office recognises the institution-tested family.” We applied the same SOP framework, same recommender pool, even targeted the same TU Munich Industrial Engineering programme. Pooja got admitted October 2023 — exactly one year behind me. We share an apartment in Schwabing, EUR 1,400 split two ways. We cook together every Sunday, we celebrate every birthday with German friends and Indian friends, my parents visit annually and stay with both of us at once. Munich became our second home — together. Pooja: I had 80% less anxiety arriving in Munich because Rajesh literally received me at Munich Hauptbahnhof, drove me to my new dorm, and walked me through TUM enrollment in one day. That is the sibling-network value Kadamb builds.”
Married couple — Vikram TU Berlin → SAP, Anita on family visa → M.Sc. at Berlin uni
Berlin → Walldorf, Germany
“Vikram: I came to TU Berlin in 2021 single. Met Anita in Mumbai during my 2023 vacation — got married December 2023. Brought her to Germany on family-reunification visa within 3 months. Kadamb walked us through the spouse-visa documentation: marriage certificate apostille, my employment contract from SAP, Anita’s A1 German Goethe certificate (mandatory for spouse visa), proof of accommodation in Walldorf, and proof of EUR 21,000 annual income (easy since SAP pays much more). Anita arrived March 2024. She immediately enrolled in M.Sc. Computer Science at SRH Heidelberg as a self-funded student — her India IT background made her a strong applicant. We now both work in Germany, two incomes, planning to apply for German PR jointly when I cross 21 months on my Blue Card. Anita: Coming to Germany as a dependent spouse felt scary — would I be just “Vikram’s wife”? Kadamb refused to let that be my identity. They actively coached me through M.Sc. applications even though I was no longer their direct client. Today I have my own student status, my own student card, my own university friends. Two careers, one marriage, one country.”
Father (Ramesh, TU Dresden 2018) + Son (Aditya, TU Dresden 2024) — both M.Sc.
Dresden, Germany
“Ramesh: I came to TU Dresden in 2018 at age 39 — late-career mid-life Master’s in Industrial Engineering. People said I was crazy. Kadamb did not blink. Saumitra Sir said: “Ramesh, age is not a German visa criterion. Profile and intent are.” I graduated 2020, joined a Dresden engineering firm, got Blue Card, then PR. In 2024 my son Aditya finished his bachelor’s in Pune and applied to TU Dresden for the same M.Sc. programme I had done. Same university, same department, same student dorm building (different room). Aditya: My father literally picked me up at Dresden airport in October 2024, drove me to the same Studierendenwerk dorm where he had lived in 2018, and introduced me to the same Greek bakery owner he still buys bread from. The professor who supervised my father’s thesis is now my professor too — he laughed when I introduced myself. Kadamb stayed connected with my father for 6 years; when I applied in 2024, they treated it as a continuation, not a new client. We are the only Indian father-son pair I know of at TU Dresden. My mother visits twice a year — she has her own friends in the German neighbourhood now.”
Aishwarya (Sapienza Rome 2024) + Kavya (University of Padova 2025) — both M.Sc., shared apartment
Rome and Padova → shared Bologna apartment
“Aishwarya: My younger sister Kavya saw my Italy journey through 2024 — DSU scholarship, Sapienza admission, Rome lifestyle — and decided she wanted Italy too. Kadamb structured her 2025 application differently: I am at Sapienza Rome (south Italy), so they targeted Kavya at University of Padova (north Italy) but specifically suggested we share an apartment in Bologna — geographically halfway. Bologna is well-connected by Italian rail to both Rome (Sapienza) and Padova (UniPad). We commute on Trenitalia high-speed rail one day a week each, work from home other days. Apartment cost EUR 1,100 split two ways. We see each other every weekend. Kavya: Having my older sister in Italy meant my parents in Indore agreed instantly. Kadamb mapped a strategy where neither of us was alone but we got to study at distinct top-tier Italian universities. We celebrate Diwali together in our Bologna apartment with 20 Indian students. Italy became less foreign with every passing month.”
Arjun (TU Berlin → SAP → German PR) brought Mr. and Mrs. Sharma from Jaipur on family reunification visa
Walldorf, Germany
“Arjun: After I received German PR in 2025 (21-month Blue Card pathway), Kadamb immediately briefed me on parent reunification. Germany allows PR holders to bring parents on family visa under specific conditions: proof of dependency, accommodation in Germany, sufficient income (around EUR 30,000 net for 4 dependents), and health insurance for parents. We filed in late 2025, parents arrived March 2026. They are 64 and 67 — initially they thought it would be too cold, too foreign. Today they have a small Indian community in Walldorf (4 other Indian families nearby), my mother cooks for me daily, my father has joined a senior fitness club at the local gemeinde. They will return to Jaipur for Diwali every year — the family visa allows this. Long term, they may apply for permanent residence themselves. Kadamb did not stop being my advisor in 2025 just because I had PR. They walked us through the parent-visa documentation in February 2026 — five years after my original Master’s application. That is the relationship.”
