Huh? What do you mean finish the application?
Well, German bureacracy does have its logic. This visa is exclusively the permission to enter Germany but not the permission to live in Germany. The next steps will be to find / move into your place of living and register it at the registration office, make an appointment with the immigration office of your city and apply for / pick up the residence permit. If you fail to do so yourself, your immigration lawyer or relocator will help you.
