hello guys! i've gone for the interview today.. I was interviewed buy an old German woman upstairs. Everything went fine except for the fact that the woman flares up whenever i gave answers she didn't seem fit for the questions being asked.

I guess the way we interprete questions are quite different from the way the Germans do. I also noticed the Germans to be direct, they don't like being flattered or reminded of their achievements. All the german men i saw at the embassy were very nice, smile at you, help you with stuff that you're not familiar with.. etc., but the woman almost changed my perspevtive about them sha.. she was kinda' rude. I almost attributed her attitude with racism but i'm not the kind of person the jumps into conclusion so i'll settle for "rude".

I got all her questions right except when she asked about how the structure of my program is, i thought she meant modules so i was telling her the courses i'll be doing lol.. I just hope that this alone won't affect the visa approval anyway. My passport got stamped and she said they'll get back to me. I took off immediately!

Bottom line is that it went fine (or so i think), thanks to all those that wished me luck.

well, if that's the case i showed humility and respect oh.. i was calm all through. Even after the interview i told her "thank you and have a pleasant day". Her response was cool.

naijaobi: @TOPEJIS and GODSON... Before u jump and quote me wrong, why dont u read back to see wia d conversation started..
JOHNYEMMY was saying dat D7 is not a problem dat universities in Nigeria accept it..and i was strongly against it by telling him dat its nt true...dat probably its only some unserious private universities in Nigeria can eva admit u with D7.. Y'all should go back and start reading from wia one guy asked weda D7 is acceptable, then u will no weda am against it or not...
my bro i will advise u write English test and dont bother seek admission with a grade of D7 in Germany cos it's gonna be a day dream.

Fill it in using the computer and then print it out. Leave the part for the signature to be signed at the German embassy (that's what I did) when you go to have the passport copy and bank forms authenticated.

Pls bro which one is bank form authenticated?

@dmitroka,
I was interviewed by the same woman.i guess she has alot to do within a short time.she prefered yes or no answer and she doesnt want ur compliment.

I was fortunate to understand her before the interview.even the receptionist there says her interview is very fast.

@all pls dont go to german embassy without adequate preparation.

Her question was based on the following
-purpose of travelling.
-study program,structure and curriculum.
-your sponsor(occupation)
-location of your school.
-intension after studies.
-accomodation.

The program is Msc economics or Bsc finance for instance, structure is the number of semesters,(Msc is three taughtsemesters and one semester for the writing of thesis), curriculum are the courses you'll be doing(check your course website for these).

Are you still coming to university of freiburg?

Yes but only 670 euros per month for one year. So if you use up all the 670 euros in a month and want to withdraw more money from your account within that same month, you won't be allowed to do so until the following month...that's why it's called a blocked account.

I paid the fee and did biometrics at the woman's place though. She was too blunt

About the accommodation ish,during my interview i was asked the same question and i simply told the lady that i am going to stay in an hotel firstly pending the time i get a nice and suitable accommodation which i think will work well for everyone,since Germany is a new place to you and probably you told them you don't have a family or relative in Germany,then are you suppose to be stranded?
