Thank you

All applicants to be screened will be expected to come with fully funded BA from November 1st.

There is therefore no implication from funding before interview. Intact it is more dangerous to not fund before an interview as is the case with cancelled AMs or delays in getting AM.

Guy just book on October 1st. So that you can get placement on time

Thank you for your promt reply, once i get my AD, what do i need to take along to the embassy, other than my admission letter and blocking confirmation, do i need amymore documents?

Also, what do i prepare for, i mean composure, questions likely to be asked. I have been for an interview once with the American embassy and i pretty much failed woefully.

Any heads up?

I don't see any complications about blocking before AD. You just need to keep pushing till you are thru and by that I mean trying to get an appointment date

Ok, thank you so much.

If you don't get a date before Sept 30 on October 1st book for another appointment.

Thank you so much.
Are there any serious complications for blocking without an AD?

I will cancel at the end of this month if i dont get a date and book a fresh one.

Thank you in anticipation.

Good you got an extension.
It's clear that it's best to fund your BA after you have been given a date by the consulate.
SL is Sponsorship Letter - this applies to you if you are using it. And its issued by the authorities in Germany to a legal resident (citizen or foreigner) who wants to sponsor someone to study in Germany. You going the BA way anyway.
V0- Thats Visa Officer. the person that will interview u on the date you are given
AM- Approval Mail. This comes to your email after a positive decision has been made on your visa application

Fom all i read, embassy might reset their system by end of this month. If u dont get a date before end of month, it might make sense to quickly cancel(if theres anything left in their system to cancel) and rebook first thing in October. Since u already have an extension till March which we can already call a summer admission in my opinion.
You will sure need to send your blocking confirmation to the embassy and of course have with you your admission letter and the document confirming you are allowed till march to enrol.
All are just my thoughts.

I will wait till 1st of October. So you are simply saying i should cancel by 1st and book a new session?

What are the implications of blocking as i have misatikingly done with an AD?

These thread and posts have been really helpful, thank you to everyone here for the support. Straight to my point. I booked category B since July for an admission which is to commence this Spetember. I got a confirmation from the embassy saying it would contact me before resumption in approxiamtely 2-3 months, but got nothing.

The school asked if i had blocked, which truly i had done even without an appointment date(hoping the date would come in time).

Anyways, the school has given me an offer of extension till next year March, saying that if the embassy does reply me and give me a date, i should put in for March.

I already made the mistake of blocking before my appointment date is issued. My questions are:

Do i cancel my appointment and book a fresh one or leave the exisiting one in play?

What are the implications of blocking without an appointment in view?

Do i need to have any documents with me other than the blocking receipt and admission letter for my interview? ( if i am eventually given a date)

There are so many terms i do not understand on this page..such as VO, SL, AM etc. Can someone please break the terms down.

Please i am new here, my question goes thus. I have been selected from a Bsc programme to kick off in October i Germany. I have read so much here today and i found out, it was advisable i booked an appointment fast as time is running out. My issues include the following.
I chose category B long term visa for more than 90 days. I have a second class lower degree. Did i choose correctly or i should have chosen category A. If so do i cancel the appointment?

Also i read that i needed a general health insurance upon appearing at the embassy, how do i go about this? I have no idea.

The travel insurance is also a document i need but must it be among the documents i take along to the embassy? If yes how do i also go about this?

Lastly, i made a mistake with Fintiba as to the account opening, i chose fintiba plus instead of a fintiba basic. I already sent a mail to the effect, but is there any other thing i can do to rectify my mistake.

I hope i posted in the right section. Thank you in anticipation.

what's your phone number Mr adalassey
