Anyone know how to appeal for Schengen tourist visa application

The email address to send it to will be helpful too

Lol...

I just saw this thread now and remember that I took Zenith aptitude test and it's been close to 2 years with no response from their team.

God had better plans for me sha

P. S I was checking my inbox and spam regularly then, I even sent an inquiry mail then. Lol

There's a certificate of english proficiency that universities give that states that your Bachelors was completed entirely in English. Most schools in Germany accept this as alternative to IELTS

EpicOracle:
So I've made up my mind that by God's help I'll be in Germany this year, however I need guidance as I already made the first mistake of going for verification without an application to any school.
I have a few questions please.

1. I have a relative in Ulm, Baden Wutternberg who says to look for uni around there so accommodation won't be an issue. Please who knows any school around Baden Wutternberg that doesn't require IELTS?

2. After verification of documents, what's the next step and how does one use Uni assist?

How much do they pay in their graduate trainee program?

Did you get one reference from a Volunteer organization?

Did you do the Video Interview?

Because I am wondering why they are sending some people reminders on that and you this

Wokegirl:
Just got a mail saying they've filled the position of the wealth management role but I can apply for something else.

They wouldn't know, the best thing would have been to cancel appointment when you have move to better place or no longer interested.

I can imagine the number of people that have probably moved to UK, US or Canada that did not cancel their appointment. It creates a backlog and is not good for everyone

oseremenifidon:

Don't mind them, they are giving appointments now after frustrating people for years. Them they find people now ba..

So many have lost interest and moved on, a lot in Canada and UK, if not for money those countries na option..
Make them chop their appointment.

Wait...This job is yet to be announced since then?

Mobil567:
I want to encourage you about north Cyprus, are you interested? Excellent destination

If you’re bored in Sweden, go outside and touch grass and also build your network.

You have dropped your advice, if they like they will take…Stop countering everyone who has positive thing to say about their experience.

Mobil567:
Yawns ****
Nothing to read here but you’re welcome

The way you’re so dedicated to this thread, yet your comments are mostly discouraging about the subject country. Not nice though

Mobil567:
Keep lying to yourself fam, though I advise you to live your truth this 2022

At this point, you expend so much energy trying to discourage people from coming to Sweden but in reality your first issue came from the fact that you started out by searching for the cheapest option in terms of university to study and I bet you were also looking for any course that’s easy to gain admission…That’s the first misstep people do when they are desperate to get out of Naija.

If you’re leaving Naija to any non-English country (including the English ones) you should look out for the schools prestige and the course should be viable…Yes everyone will struggle but you won’t compare doing a finance or international management degree at a top 3 uni to studying sociology at the 20th university in ranking. A finance guy will probably have more options if they put in the work.

Also if you’re moving to a Scandinavian country don’t be expecting Eko lifestyle, drop that at the airport.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but the GT trainee program is an amazing experience and if you're taking their assessments take it a bit more seriously. Always be prepared for interviews, be composed and don't be in hurry to answer a question immediately you are asked you can always take a few seconds to think about it.

Training school proper is not a walk in the park but if you get through assessment best believe that if you put in work in TS you will be successful, have little more faith in yourself and you will not regret it. Remember it's not a competition when you get to TS, teach people and learn from your colleagues where you lack.

Goodluck to you

Don't give up just yet, send them a follow up email stating the whole situation and reference the previous email by 8am tomorrow

Goodluck

I didn't find solutions oh and I sent them an email they didn't reply and the time have expired

Visa Interview Transcript
Date of Interview 24th August, 2021
Category A.
Date of Approval Mail: 26th August, 2021.

First, I must state that this is more like a testimony (of course I will give a detailed interview questions and answers as I can still remember) to the GLORY OF JESUS because it is very clear that I'm not more qualified than anyone here or there. Jesus showed me mercy and made my little work fruitful.

Yes...now, to the transcript proper...

I arrived the embassy quite early though my interview date was 9AM. I think that helped as I used that time to spend 8k for photocopy. Foolish me.. lol. Didn't check well to see that every document must be in TWO SET except where otherwise stated.

At the embassy, I met a guy I supposed is an Erasmus Mundus scholar. We waited together but then he first entered the ROOM 4 for the interview. And in about 20mins later he came out. It was now my turn to face the VO.

VO: Why are you here?
Me: visa application interview
VO: which category?
Me: Category A
VO: what qualified you for this category?
Me: scholarship
VO: pass me your award letter, passport and certificate.
Me: I did. (She checked it and asked, "how much is it?" I answered and she highlighted that part of the award letter. Then she went out to go and confirm it, I guess, and returned in few minutes).
VO: did you block your account?
Me: yes, I blocked the deficit.
VO: pass it on to me. (She did some checking and balancing and confirmed that everything was in order financially.
VO: lemme have your visa application fee
Me: I passed it.
VO: I will take your finger prints now
Me: okay (in my mind...wow na so ein dey be ?lol)

(She took every information and filled into the computer before here)

After about 15mins,

VO: let's now start the interview... please be quick in answering the questions she warned.
Me: eweeeeh.....so interview never start self...kaii
VO: tell me what you know about Germany politically?
Me: answered (please the answers are easily found online....I can share my summary note I prepared for common facts about Germany with you. Dont wanna make this so long. Thank you for your understanding)
VO:. What are going to study?
Me: answered
VO: why not Nigeria, US or Canada? Why did you choose Germany?
Me: answered
VO: What did you do in your bachelor's research thesis?
Me: answered.

(VO got angry saying "why are you saying this research topic like I understand what you're saying...so fast? .....me: in my mind, but you called for it. VO continued... please spell!)

Me: I spelt the field related terms for her.

VO: what's your occupation?
Me: I teach chemistry
VO: where?
Me: I mentioned the name of the secondary school.

(VO paused and then I saw a paper being printed out from her computer. She passed the paper to me. Men and brethren.. behold it was 3 theory Chemistry Questions oo)

I was like, science question in an interview? Never expected that at all. But then to the glory of God, I have an idea in the all 3 three questions, even though I was later going to realize that I answered one wrongly)

Me: solved quickly and passed it on to her
VO: with such a disappointing look on her face, "is this the best you can give me?
Me: I can still add something. Collected it and add more info to number 3 question and gave back to her.

VO: alright. How much is your salary?
Me: 43K
VO: What?! What can that do for you? Are you married.
Me: no, single
VO: can you even marry with such amount?
Me: actually, most private schools pay that low
VO: what about public schools. How much do they pay?
Me: for my level, something around 60k
VO: okay.(she then passed my passport)
Me: my heart wasn't at rest seeing my passport coming back to me. I believed they'd retain it, afterall I'm a scholar lol )
Me: ma, am I going with my passport?
VO: yes. Let's see. Be checking your email...she mentioned my email to get a confirmation.
Me: Okay. Thank you.
....................

That was how my interview went. I got my AM in TWO days and sent back my passport for stamping.

My recommendation: God can actually do anything for you. Just keep believing as you work. If you can apply for scholarships, please do. It's a great Plus. I was in Cat B last year. With the scholarship, I booked for interview on 11th August at 17.00 and got date that same day at 18.00.

Also, spread your net. I did the same. I had even forgotten about Germany but then saw the scholarship and applied and it came through.

I am now in Deutschland Friends. Everyone must succeed brothers and sisters. It just won't happ at the same time. So while we wait for our goodnesws, let's keep clapping for others. Shalom

People in Category B that have left for other countries or changed plans should actually cancel their appointment.

What do they actually really do in that German Consulate

OdogwuEkeke:
Lol Embassy is not even available to give a certificate for fintiba oga ooh

No appointment booking for legal and consular matter this month and next month sef.

I have 2 questions, anyone with answers can kindly let me know

1. When you cancel an appointment with the German embassy, How long do you have to wait to rebook?
2. When will they refresh their system for the year cause for people who want to book for September next year?


Thanks

Yes they did this week

Hooluwharsegun:


Have they sent offer letter to those that passed the interview?

You should appeal the decision

chika0072:
Got A.M last week and few days later SHOCKED

A rejection letter.

Cited age gap BTW had my hnd in 2014
Age
Work experience not relating
My previous course not relating to intended course (computer science no relate to international business information system?)

In a working country, I don’t know who does recruitment with this level of uncertainty for over a year
Recruiting process was poor then this, very unproductive nonsense because a lot of people don’t have options.

I hope you people that is going to eventually take on this job do better when you’re in a position of power

For others, there’s a lot of possibilities out there don’t limit yourself and you don’t need connection to get a decent job in this country
I know this firsthand, keep striving and keep pushing, you’ll get there

They contacted people that passed the 2 stages of interview
Program to start next month

Stay patient, some people have even forgotten that they wrote the test but when it got to them interviews and everything was ran under 2 weeks

If there’s direct contact of someone in the email you can call them and ask politely

Graceabby:
But those of us that hasn't gotten any mail after documentation, does that mean we were not qualified or what?

For people who have started training school was anything said about remuneration numbers before starting? Or was it later

This thread don long

Some people go don marry finish

Not entirely true
You can’t switch if you’re on tourist visa but other Visa’s you can if you meet certain requirement and won’t need to travel back to home country

If it were not possible how then do students change their visa status when they find a job after their studies?

It’s left for him to research that, he can find more info from the German Federal office site
Search relevant key words on Google too

abdquadr:

Hello, maybe you didn’t get what he was trying to explain properly.

If he travels to Germany on another visa status other than Study, or family reunion or asylum, he will have to travel back to his country of residence to get the get the required visa for study.

ohswagz:
I have been on this journey since 2020, had all my applications rejected for one weird reason or the other. I'm grateful for this thread cuz I really learnt and am still learning a lot. Thanks to those active few who take out time here to explain and answer others

If you’re CAT B and you have already gone through another route or don’t want to proceed biko help us dey cancel appointment make the queue dey lessen ��

A private university might ask for deposit after they might have offered you admission and they give you time for that

However the website you posted looks like scam web, notice how it starts with ‘web.’ a copy to the main university website that starts with ‘www.’
Also the number that’s calling you have a UK dial code +44 instead of German which is +49

I think this is the correct link to the school site https://www.berlinsbi.com/admissions/postgraduate-application but then if it is truly the school then understand that this is applicable to most private uni, the non-refundable first deposit towards school fees or you can call it commitment fee
It is usually subtracted from the remainder of the school fees you need to pay

vicwealth:
Hello guys, I m new to this thread. Has anyone applied to Berlin school of business ? https://web.berlinsbi.com/bsbi-all-programme-2?&utm_source=Quora&utm_medium=cpa&utm_campaign=BSBI-Quora-LKA-Africa-Image-V2

Is the website genuine or is it a scam to siphon money from international students ?. Is it possible for a school to be asking for €2000 to in order to keep your admissions spot opened. You will be told to make a minimum of €1000 deposit just to keep your spot opened. Does anyone here know about the school ? Is it real or a scam ? This number has been calling from the school +442039270271. Pls I need a genuine response from anyone that knows about them. Thanks

If you cancel an appointment
Can you rebook immediately?

But seriously what happened to the visa booking link on the German website
