osurvey: this ''PROPOSED PLACE OF RESIDENCE'', ''DO YOU INTEND TO MAINTAIN YOUR PERMANENT RESIDENCY OUTSIDE GERMANY'' and ''INTEDNDED DURATION OF STAY:FROM -------tO -----'' on the visa form is still confusing me. @ abiegirl, bebee5000 etc pls throw more light on this. Thanks

bissiejoe:

If you read the page where you quoted this statement very well, you wouldn't need to ask this question again.
But I will help you out....Aiico insurance is 23k for 3 months while IGI is 14,500 for 3 months. When I went for my visa, I saw a lady brought GNI insurance and was obtained for 15k(according to the lady, our ruthless and fearless ibo man @ the gate gave her the contact) and from ur quote, mutual benefit is 16,800.
I used IGI and I took the insurance from IGI office @ Adeola hopewell on VI, it took less than 20mins.
NOTE: don't take anyhow insurance paper to the embassy, the guy's will bounce you.

futurewise11: please can you help me in getting some food stuff while coming?my city is 1.30min to your school.

Teflon1:

edufabulous:

@uchezdedon, I fink she used blocked account, she mentioned that in one of her responses on page 342...

Nimakor:
Congrats Abie!
When are you leaving? I could be joining you in Mannheim (Hochschule Mannheim) by March.
Gute Reise!

beebee5000:

When I was also searching for tickets I found Iberia and royal airmaroc cheaper, but my last experience with royal airmaroc was nothing to write home about, the inflight service was poor, terrible food, and no entertainment on board. So i decided not to fly with them again. Then I checked Iberia, it was good but you are only allowed to check in 23kg baggage and your hand luggage, and that's not enough for me. So if you choose to fly Iberia check and crosscheck properly.
Having said that, the closer your travel date the more expensive the tickets become. Be wise oh!!!! I should have bought my tickets earlier but I wanted to be sure of my visa first before doing so and as a result i payed dearly for it .
Anyway, it ended well.

Deutschland ist schön. Aber für einen faulen Man geht es langwelig

beebee5000: Finally in Deutschland, wishing everyone here waiting for visa, admission speed in receiving their good news.
Please let's refrain from insulting each other. You can deploy diplomatic tactics to reply someone who's trying to bully you.
Please everybody drop the hatchet. *********White flag flying************
First time I came to germany via Frankfurt I was impressed with the immigration officials, today via Nürnberg they were still efficient just like last year. NB **********ko si ere ni germo.***********

Ndyoo:

Next time you ask such questions, wait for a reply. You don't have to flood the thread. Otherwise go back a few pages to get your answer...

GTB Bank : Go to any GTB bank or diamond bank and open an Euro Domicilary account(a type of current account). Usually you need referees for you to open with GTB. Someone that did with Diamond told me it was much easier thats why I mentioned them. Getting referees can be hard because they require current account holders. Once you present the referees, the account opened for you will be activated for transanctions.

Go to the Local markets (Those that change money), make sure its a trusted seller. Euro is currently between 225 - 227 depending on the seller. I bought at 225. Exchange the money equivalent of the blocked account in Euro in your current account. Then go to your bank and transfer. Take note of the IBAN number during transfer because it surely matters. Your bank will give you forms to fill and You transfer by bits due to CBN policy. After transfer, do collect the Telex copy as proof of your transfer. Wait for like 3 - 5 days, the deutsch bank will send you a confirmation that your account has been credited.

IllCheez:

Very good you got accepted at Uni Mannheim. My friend was rejected at FAU too; I was told to write an addtional 2 paged essay to attain the treshold of 70points needed to be admitted. The only issue now is the fact that the search for accomodation isn't looking sexy in Nuremberg. Hope you are finding yours easier.

damsamty16:
Any reason for ur rejection?

IllCheez: Greetings House. Is anyone heading to FAU Nuremberg?

beebee5000: Please house help me praise the lord ohh. Finally I have received the much awaited email. My visa has been approved and was asked to come with 3 months travel insurance. I want to thank you all for your advise and good wishes.
For those also on the waiting list, you shall rejoice and share your testimony too.

Ndyoo: Brothers, If anyone think you are advising he or she wrongly, let them do as it pleases them. I wonder why anyone won't read the thread from beginning to where we're now. The young woman has really shown the stuff she's made of. I wonder why someone won't disappoint her with this kind of attitude.

Nimakor:
Touche!
Hope you have received your Sperrkonto details?

Nimakor:
I think the problem of GPA conversion and equivalency has been profusely adressed. Since you are still on page 101, I say your verdit is not so currect.

DAAD scholarship has many red tapes.
As Beebee rightly said, the language of the courses is German, although I think some of the courses are english taught. Other hinderances include:
1. Limited number/specialty of programs.
2. Employment status/experience; usually should align with your MSc pursuit.
3. Sign to return after studies. etcetera.

papilon89: please Abie......what are the properties of the passport you used......also must the head cover 80% of the passport? please educate us...
