Congratulations

Hello friends, so I had my interview today and i need to share, will just go straight to the point and highlight the distinctive and uncommon questions and events.

Firstly, i think the embassy has updated its question base and it is important to elucidate prospective applicants; so apart from the common questions that we all know, questions like your Project, what results you had with the project i mean concepts derived or propositions, your project supervisor?,may be asked

And this is the most interesting one for me, (i was like, are you for real) Mention names/titles of Books used in your undergraduate Study?(are you kidding)

The political party of the president and the chancellor.

The website you found the course? imagine if i had to call out (daad.de/deutschland/studienangebote/studiengang/en/)

And before i forget PLEASE go with three copies of your Statement of Purpose/Motivation letter even if you won't have to use it, it will save you time, and especially deliver you from the claws of those guys at the car pack. Apparently, i didn't see anybody who wasn't asked to produce it.

Anyways, all the best guys(i didn't mean that as a sexist).

My bad. Most regulars here, already know how it all started.

I submitted form A along side other documents to Fidelity Bank on the 4th of July. I transferred €8090, was debited on the at 320/€.

The alert from DB was taking forever to arrive. We decided to scrutinise the telex copy, and boom, the IBAN number for the transaction belongs to my prospective University (the IBAN is on the admission letter for semester contribution payment).

I rushed to Fidelity bank that same day, 22nd July, and they initiated an amendment, sent it to Citibank group, the following week CitiBank confirmed the receipt of Fidelity bank request, and sent theirs to the recipient Bank in Germany.

After more than two weeks, CitiBank was still waiting for a response from Germany.

On the 3rd of August, I decided to write to my school, and sent all necessary documents to them. They agreed to assist in retransferring the funds to my DB account.

And this morning, the alert dropped.

Fidelity Bank messed up though, but no hard feelings.

Cheers!

Danke sehr!

Had my interview today...

reached embassy sha, by to 6,..got to the queue only to confuse myself with the words of dos security men, and what he was telling guys arnd dt morning .. say na 3 visa app forms, nd i was with 2.

rushed over to the fotocopy stall, and initiated it at 400N per page(like say na blood of Jesus be d ink), anyways i printed only the last one for signing and Fotocopied d rest, met up with Casper Nl dere, went back to d embassy to start arranging in d Paulinus acceptable Way.

then I joined the already shocking long queue,we were sha ushered inside to follow d green paint on d floor like Gta V road mapping mode, to the door of d interview room, downfloor of d main building,..

we all went into diff rooms sha, according to d chair movement nd speed of d Vos in d room, to do our biodata capture, and submit our docs, she asked for Mletter, i gave her(typed and printed) she had no issues with it, funny Nigerian woman, after asking meaning of my surname if i was from lagos, i said nope,( Imo state! do or die!!) .. she was like what's the meaning, i said i don't know.. she lafed nd said if I could speak igbo, i said i m trying, she den shook her head and asked if my parents were igbo, i said dey r, and it's nt dere fault i can't speak (i have always been home away from home since jss1), she den asked wat about yoruba, i said yes(Iffa hear).  she collected my courier envelope and checked my passport details via d Barcode scanner on d keyboard (that almost pulled a bad stunt, but she sha knew how to fix it). So we waited, (i have never waited so long bfor)

we were to do it in d respective room, we submitted our docs to, and my the V.O in my supposed room..really took her time

anyways after everybody don do, leave.. na only my grp remain two,.. i had to b ushered into d room beside her, and i met a naija lady too.

Hi Guys,

Please who else got the shocking response from the embassy that there is no more space for appointment and its also written boldly on their website?

Please if anyone got this email and later got an appointment pls how did you go about it.

I have read many questions about this in previous pages but no answers yet.

Thanks.

I have only heard of one booking since that message appeared on their website.

I don't think they are backing down on that decision. Very unfortunate!

To the best of my knowledge, scholarships are "more accessible" when you have crossed over. Even then, it is just a handful.

I think it is because the education has already been subsidised.

Loan from banks? The pressure no go be here o.

Good luck bro.

If your enrollment deadline is still far like that of Rhine Waal or enrollment by post, you can specify with evidence along with your documents when booking for visa interview.
I think they don't wanna give appointment to people whose deadline is just few days after the interview. Mind you the latest appointment they gave someone as at last week was September 15th.
People are still getting appointment, few tho.

I got the reply for the first time . But you have to check the enrolment dateline of your school . Mine is November 15 . I wrote to them again attached the neccesary documents and explained that my dateline was still a little bit further . Luckily they gave me an appointment . Days after that second mail .

That's good. Unfortunately, very few schools enrol until November.

Although, I still don't think it is all about enrolment deadline. Previously, people still booked appointments from the time that massage showed up on their site. I mean, this is just August.

It's a pity really.

Thanks GottsieDank, WardChris and all.

Keeping fingers crossed.

Please Abuja peeps that have done the new blocked account opening. Please tell us the requirements. Have been on this issue since nobody who has been to the embassy recently has provided a legit answer.

Db details just dropped. Opened with the old form. How much am I expected to pay into the account though db quoted 8090 euro considering the new form and timing

Congrats.....pls what date did you open the account at the embassy?

Keji74:

Yes oh boss, congrats first
when did you open because i opened since july 18th, nothing yet

JogahBonito:


No, it isn't. Book the next available slot for DB account opening that corresponds to when your bank statement will be available. As you step out of the consulate, scan the receipt and book an appointment. To make it faster, save your admission letter and the biodata page of your passport, all as pdf files, as a draft message in your email. Once you're done from the embassy, scan the receipt and add it to the other documents in that draft. Immediately send it to the email address written at the back of the receipt. You should get a response email. hopefully, before the end of that day. The earlier you initiate the process, the safer it is for you. Good luck.

Brotherly, how far? I really don't know how to use pm on nairaland. Email me on ajekwer@yahoo.com
