also guys concerning schorlaship options, is it only daad schorlaships that are cat A OR any kind of schorlaships offered by the school itself? especially for masters

Any type of scholarship that comes from public funds from Germany or EU
So your school scholarship too will suffice for Cat A

good day does anyone know anyone that has gotten appointment through opportunity card. And also the portal says waiting time is at about 1-2 weeks. so how to book? cos i got an email earlier saying i should go to the portal to book an appointment since i am on the waitlist.

Go to the new consular portal and book I guess
Did you book through the consular portal or the normal appointment portal

Ayo1011:


Do you have any idea if they've been able to reschedule solely based on Blocked account/ Sponsorship Letter issues or also admission delays?

Yes someone was able to reschedule for a week later with proof that he was still trying to send his SL from Germany

Good afternoon everyone.

So my wife got daad scholarship to study in Germany. During the application process she was asked to upload our marriage certificate and we did all of that.
What I want to know now is - are we applying for our visas together? And how long would it take for mine to be approved as her dependent or whatever it is called.

Germany doesn’t do “dependent visa” instead they do “family reunion visa” which is roughly about 21 months.
She’ll have to enter the country first before you can go over.

Please advice if someone need to reschedule their appointment because of no admission yet, should the person mention it in the mail or what will you advice the person to say In the email for rescheduling?

Oh thank you. And yes I’m aware that she has to go first. I was hoping that it would be faster than 21months.
Is the family reunion visa certain?
I just want an idea of what and what to d or prepare for.

Good afternoon everyone

I was given an AD this January which I went for, so after a few questions on my interview.
I was asked to get another get another SL because my present SL has expired and I should write to them.

Now I have another new one and I wrote to them that I have a new one.
The issue now is that I go a reply from them that I should apply and wait for my turn.

What will I do now
Please I need guidelines on this.


Thanks

If you have a previous admission, add it and state that it's expired and because of the waiting time, you're waiting for a new admission. Now I hope you have applications that have been made already. Attached proof of such applications too

@Hananania, please I also fall in this category. I have been waiting for years and my AD is fast approaching without any valid admission. I got admission last year for winter. Please I don't understand according to you(I hope u have application that have been made already) Pls kindly help me with the mail of the embassy so as to tell them earlier that they should postpone my AD till around June/July.

From my brothers experience, they said if he had sent an email before the interview day he would have been rescheduled. But because he attended the interview, he was asked to reapply and send the block account confirmation when he receives it. he was given his old application number to reference in his email. He got a new date after 2 days. So I think you need to reapply and then send the document ontop of the email confirmation with some explanation. Looks like you need to have an active application in the system they can work with.
You shouldn’t worry you’ll be rescheduled in no time. All the best.

Check last pages or two, I posted the emails. Wait until you get AD before you message them. Also, make applications and show them proof that you're waiting for winter admission because AD did not come earlier due to the waiting time

Except the embassy speeds up the process, it won’t be faster.
And yes, people get approvals on the family reunion visas.

@Hannania, Thanks for your response. If I wait before AD, will they considering to reschedule me again because of d number of applicants on the queue? As regards application, I already applied and gotten application ID already.

My friend went for her interview in January, her block account was not confirm at that time. So he went with the payslip of the transaction. He showed Mr. Paulinus and he was cleared. However, the visa officer, refuse to interview him, because the block account was not ready. He pleaded that he will send it as soon as it is confirmed but didn’t work. The following day he got the block account confirmation and he send it to them.
Now, they´re asking him to re-apply.
Is he going to wait for two years again?

Any update on AD from the new portal anyone?

Since it's not your turn yet, they won't respond to a reschedule without a sure appointment. They're rescheduling you because you don't have complete documents. That's because they won't interview you without complete docs

He should email and copy all the other consulate emails and inform them his docs are ready.

I suspect she already told him to reapply on that day and he said yes. We've said it here since January that you should not go to the interview with incomplete documents rather send them an email. Many people got rescheduled here but People want to try their luck. All the best to him

Thank you for your insight. I will patiently wait till my AD arrives before sending them an email for them to reschedule me if I have not gotten new admission. Please, we I also copy when sending them mail
I really appreciate your kind guidance.

Please is this for those that booked appointment in April 2023?

hello everyone, please who applied to university of Passau or has applied before. I need clarity on something.

I did last year

Which of the payment options on expatrio is the fastest for someone sending from the UK, please?

Good Afternoon all,please its like they've moved all Categories for student visas to the consular portal(the new digital portal). What of those that applied via the old portal and are patiently on the waiting list? Is ours still valid?? Do we need to make a new appointment via the new consular portal?
Someone with a valid idea should please kindly clarify this. Thank you!
