Please how long ago? What course did you apply for?

tosenj:


Positive response has been received from Leuphana in Lüneburg

Please are there people that applied to Lüneberg or Magdeburg or Hannover that have received response from any of these universities?

Please guys,

Which courier company is the cheapest (excluding EMS of course) to post documents from Lagos to Germany?

Thanks a lot bro

SSamuelo:
200 naira per page,but if you have many you renegotiate look for Bar.odetola his the man doing the stuff at Ikeja within the court premise,avoid those touts at the gate.

Hi all,

Please how much does it cost to notarise documents at Ikeja or any High court in Lagos?

Same thing happened to me. It has happened to a lot of people here. In my own case, I had to call their Foreign Affairs in Berlin but before then, I sent several mails to the Embassy without any reply. I sat at the embassy from 7am till 2pm before they brought out my passport. Usually, if you sent your passport by courier, they will take forever or may not even open your mail until you go there.
So if your travel date is close or has passed already, go to the embassy. Just pack your things and go to Lagos if you are not there already. Go before 10am. Dont make any issues. Just tell Paulinus that you are traveling that day and you have called and sent several mails already.

Meanwhile, we need to report this matter. I have the email and contacts that we can report this matter to in Berlin.

sleekch1c:
What could be the cause on not returning one’s passport after Am even when it’s almost travel date?
Anyone had such experience? It’s already a week

For those who are in Germany and those who have gotten their AM, I have a question.
When you received your AM did the Consulate/Embassy wait till almost the date of your trip before posting your passport? Are there those who have experienced this?
Because it is very insane that even when you give them over two weeks to post your passport, they still hold on to it till almost the date of traveling. This is after sending emails and phone calls.

Also, who else has experienced that very rude Nigerian customer service girl who answers the phone?

All 28th January people dropping some good news. Welcome to the club. Congratulations.

Ogoonna:


You going for bsc right?? Can u please post ur I text transcripts bro?? Id really appreciate

Thanks.

I submitted it during the interview. Yours will come soon. Don't worry.

Perhaps the reason why mine came early May be because I had been to Germany twice in the past and lived on Switzerland for some time too.

Jagabanbaby:
Congratulations! Had mine same day too. Please when did you submit your means of sustenance?

Hello guys,

I have been somewhat of a silent reader, contributing sparingly. Anyway, I received my AM today. I had my interview on the 28th of January.
I want to appreciate those who keep helping and encouraging others. Also those who share their good news here. It really helps to keep the hopes high and positive and I hope mine will do the same to others who are processing and expecting theirs.

Meanwhile this is my third Admission cycle that I have been offered admission in Germany since 2012 but did always put it off and I hope it will be a memorable journey.
I would also appreciate some contacts or connections around Hamburg/Kiel area.

But that's not a bad thing. It shows you would like to gain some experience before returning to Nigeria.

Voltron05:
I told the VO that I plan on taking up an internship position after my masters, after which I would come back to Nigeria to start up a company or take up a job.

Bro, if you really like the programme, why not email the school or the department to know if they can fix the problem?

Ndkings1:


This school FAU erlangen-nürnberg is a nonsense school my application is supposed to be winter oo but due to the their technical faults it turns out to be summer with a very close deadline for submitting of documents. That's why I am running helter skelter on how to send the document before the deadline which is 28th of this month.... I for kuku use nipost..... I'm seriously considering not going further with the application by boning the documents submission.....

Hi guys,

Please I have a question about this age declaration thing. That part on the checklist that says
"Birth Certificate from National Population Commission or Declaration of Age deposed to by head of Family (Please note that an NPC birth certificate may only be accepted if the applicant is born after December 13th, 1992)".

What am I supposed to do exactly if I was born before 1992?

eastafro:

are you guys from cs background ?

Me, yes.

hillshark:
Please house i urgently need to book for appointment for summer 2019. Can someone who recently did help out as it seems the email route is not functional for the summer term.

Exactly midnight. That's when the date and time is released.
So you have to be fast about it.

domkach:
Is there any school that the application is ongoing now for Msc Data Science/analytics?

University of Magdeburg
And University of Hildesheim

I have been trying to book an appointment for interview at the Embassy but I can't seem to get one. I have even sent a mail to the consulate but they said I should do it on the website.

Please who knows what's going on and how I can resolve this?

They requested for another Bank statement from me last Friday. Another waiting continues.

Marcopolo65:
Abeg nothing new?? Please is there any news??

Nawa oh! So nobody else has still received a decision till now?

Victoriordaah:
Guys I had my interview on 28th August and up till now my application is still waiting. I used out some money from my funds but have replaced it. Is it okay?

Is the replacement from your sponsor? Do you have an explanation for the source of the replacement? Because you may be asked this when they ask for supplementary documents.

Congrats bro. When did you apply and when did they request for supplementary documents?

Dear XXXXX



This is to inform that the decision on your residence permit application has arrived at the Embassy of Finland in Abuja. The decision can be collected in three ways.



1) Personally with a passport.



2) Authorizing another person to collect with original signed authorization letter with the applicant’s customer number, a copy of the applicant’s international passport and photo ID (international passport, National ID, voters card or driver's license) of the one picking it up.

3) Using a trustworthy courier service (such as FedEx, DHL, TNT, UPS). Send us a copy of your international passport’s data page and a signed authorization letter (with the applicant’s customer number to Finnish Immigration Service) as an email attachment (pdf). After that order the courier company to collect the decision from the Embassy.

Kindly print out this email to be presented at the gate if you are picking up personally or authorizing someone to pick up on your behalf.



The Embassy of Finland is open for collection Monday to Thursday 2 pm to 4 pm.

No mention of new SoA!!!

kofoironic:
Just did, thank you.

What did they reply you?

kofoironic:
What email address did you send your complaints to? Because I have also sent an email but got no reply. I will definitely be calling tomorrow. It has been two months now. My waiting period is over and my patience don turn to vexation.

Write to them to request for the 'New estimate of the processing time' for your residence permit application.
According to their website, you have this right as quoted below.
Use the heading "New Estimate of The Processing Time"
Don't forget to add your application number and other details.
You may not be able to reach them on phone as I have tried severally.


"If you have applied for a residence permit, EU registration of Finnish citizenship, you may write to us at migri@migri.fi and ask for a new processing time estimate. Add your customer number to your e-mail. When you send a message to this address, you will receive a reply that states that the agency does not answer e-mail inquiries. Despite this, we will send you a new estimate of the remaining processing time. Unfortunately, you cannot get any other advice from the address migri@migri.fi."

I applied on 19th July, yet nothing. They requested for supplementary documents on the 22nd and I sent it the next day. I emailed them last week and the said my application has been transferred for finalisation only to ask when it was transferred for finalisation and they said 28th August. Since 28th August they are yet to finalise. I wonder what they are finalising.

kofoironic:
I am calling migri tomorrow. My patience has ran out. Since 23rd of July fa.
