Type C Schengen visa refused after a failed application for a spouse visa
I am a PhD student in Germany and I am married. Actually, at first I came to Germany by visa that was for a master and then after 6 month I succeeded to get acceptance from another university for promotion. But for extending my visa I should do it before my previous visa being expired.
I applied for a dependent visa for my husband twice. One of them when I was still a master's student and another time since I am a PhD student. Unfortunately the application was rejected each time. The first one because I was a master's student and the second time because I don't have any kind of grant or scholarship (I am self-funded) and my finance documents were insufficient.
But since I am here my husband visited me 5 timed through visa type 'C'. And since he has a high-ranked job in his country with reasonable bank balance he didn't have any problem getting this visa. But unfortunately one month a go he applied again for a type C visa again and today the German embassy told him that they are not sure he intends to leave the Schengen area after his time runs out.
I don't know where and how I should complain. My husband has been to Europe 9 times before.

Per the commentary on your question...
To complain about a refusal, you need to prepare your complaint as a letter and send it to the consulate that issued the refusal. If you send it to a higher authority they will simply forward your letter to the consulate.
Complaints cannot be escalated unless the original consulate has had the opportunity to examine it.
Based upon what you wrote, and the commentary provided by "Relaxed", it's likely to be a pointless exercise. From their view, your husband has been building up a private life in Germany and they want to avoid the situation where Article 8 becomes engaged. Also based upon what you wrote, the consulate made a good call.
If you want to make a really effective complaint, you can instruct a solicitor who has a practice area in Schengen.
