Really? We are waiting for u. Are you the person June talked about?

Let me share my personal experience I got with regard to my student visa at the German Embassy.I got my bachelor in 2013, during my interview that took place on the 9 may 2016 ,I told the visa officer that sometimes after my bachelor I got involve into business, why I mentioned that was because I wanted to make him understand that I wasn’t just staying inthe house doing notting at least I kept myself busy.I didn’t give detailed explanation to the consular officer as to why I got involve into business.I did that for 6 months in 2015.....I didn't know that this information I'm giving could make the visa officer think otherwise!!!.After answering series of question from the visa officer I left the embassy confident that I would be given a student visa.
After 3 weeks I received an email from the embassy ,it was a refusal letter.The refusal was on the ground that the German Embassy doubts my intention of studying and my language certificate isn’t reliable (this is the attestation I obtained from the language centre I was enrolled ).I was very shock...I calmed down for 3 days. After which I start preparing to write a remonstration letter (even though people were discouraging me not to write because according to them the embassy will not reply to it ,instead they were advising me to go for german classes and take the ZIDAF exam befor reapplying,for me it didn't make any sense as the master course I'm admitted is taught entirely in English and german proficiency isn't a requirement for enrolment. In 2014 I did English classes to under take the international English language testing system (IELTS) in view to apply for my master course. I wanted to acquaint myself with german language before travelling to Germany, so I went for german classes as well and completed level one.I attached supporting documents to my remonstration letter and went to deposit it at the German embass.6 days later I received a call from the german embassy requesting me to come the following day .After,the call I started thinking on what to say why I got involve into buiness since the embassy thinks I want to use my student visa otherwise. The following day at 7 am I was already at the embassy, I got in and sat in the waiting room.my name was called and I got up and move to the box where heard my name.To my great surprise 3 visa officers where already waiting for me,all were female.let me call them lady1, lady2, lady3.I sat down my blood pressure started to increase.lady2 was beside lady1 with an A4 paper on it were series of questions and photocopies of my course content my heart rate started increasing because i wasnt prepared for an interview,I thought that they will instead discuss with me the reasons for my rejection and what i wrote on my letter of remonstration,lady3 had the remonstration letter and the supporting documents I summitted to the embassy earlier.lady1 asked the first question I answered then lady2 asked I answered then lady1 switch off the microphone and was conversing with her colleagues, after conversation she switched on her microphone and lady3 tick first question on her A4 paper. Same thing happened through out the interview.After bombarding me with series of question they went into my course content,the fact that I was afraid , my heart beating rate increasing and being interviewed by 3 consular officer intimidated me ,confusion started I wasn't coherent when explaining my course content because I wasn't at all prepare for that.Finally last question lady1 asked.....u had your bachelor in 2013 what where you doing that you decided to apply for master studies in 2016.I explained she then asked for evidence and I summitted. I was then ask to go into the waiting room and that they will call me back in 5 minutes,I went as requested and after 10 minutes I was called.I set to myself that these ladies won't change their decision there r still going to refuse me the visa and maintain my rejection.I sat lady1 started saying........ I would be very open to you (just that statement made my heart rate to increase) compared to other master student you were very weak in explaining your course content (I new it was finished with me), she then said however (Just this word "however" made my heart rate to drop) to us at the embassy we say yes to your application (all 3 ladies smile but I wasn't smiling with them at all) but the final say is from the competent authority in Germany and the procedure will take upto 2 months. If you are refused a visa(she spoiled everything again and you decide to reapply master your course content and certain technical aspect before applying....she continues to smile while saying good luck and I wish you the best,lady2 and lady3 were smiling also then lady2 told me....I wish you the best in your master thesis.I responded by saying thank you.while leaving the embassy I was kind of surprised that they didn't discus with me the reasons for my rejection and I too didn't mention that because they didn't ask,I was waiting for them to talk about it before I could say something .since this interview my days and nights have not been the same,I'm always refreshing about this interview and wondering if I will be granted this visa.

Please anybody that has come across such situation or anybody reading should please give me his or her opinion on this matter and if I stand a chance for my visa to be granted. Thank you

@pepson, I must confess in this situation worry or over-thinking is a waste of time and does nothing. Just pray and believe. Good they also gave you some hope.

Nitori Olorun, what else do you need? an angel from heaven wearing a red chief cap to tell you u will get your visa. Three consular officers say to you congratulations on your studies and that they say yes to your application. bros na wa for you o, what else do u want ni? U are saying they didnt tell u reason for your earlier rejection but they did ni, and even if they didnt. whats the point bro, wrong or right, good or bad. What matters is that you are getting your visa. So cheer up and dont be so twisted and negative as if there is no God in heaven. Relax bro, I am confident you will get your visa. You already took the bold step of writing the remonstration letter. Now u are in the clear. Just relax

Abeg, who in the house has sent mail to Deustche bank by filling their contact form to inquire about account details? Cos I did that to inquire since I sent my forms almost two weeks ago and the reply I got was dat my documents hasnt arrived at their deparment. Even when UPS tracked and gave confirmation that it was delivered and signed for.

Hi guys, thanks for ur useful informations so far.
Ve been following since part 1 but recently a friend of mine share a link with me which is saying one can't be admitted to an undergraduate course in Germany with just O' LEVEL results and that OND is not recognised that I have to submit transcripts from HND or uni alongside with my O'LEVEL result. How true is that?
I need details please.....

You have been following this thread from Part1, and you asking this kinda Q?

You must hate reading, ja?

Your friend is right. So na to do the needful.

Thanks.

Sorry to be the harbinger of bad news but it seems the blocked account money is now 8640 euros
I did my form A transaction a few weeks ago and about a couple of days ago I was debited but I still didn't receive any confirmation so I sent them an email via their contact form...I got this reply
Dear Sirs,

the amount mentioned in our confirmation of account opening has not been
credited completely until now or there is no credit entry.

After the whole amount has been credited you will receive the confirmation
as soon as possible.

If you want to change the blocked amount we need a new signed
"supplementary form" from you in original.

Please send documents only in original by postal or courier service to our
address.
I was even thinking maybe I needed to add an extra 50 euros to make it 8090..But I decided to send them a message on Facebook to confirm
They replied immediately informing that as per the new guidelines from German Embassy in order to cover living costs, the new blocked amount is now 8640 euros

I just hope I don't have to start sending another supplementary form to change the blocked account like they suggested or that this is just a misunderstanding from their FB team
But either way it doesn't look good

who has just filled the Deutsche bank block account form? how much was stated to be blocked? is it 8050 or 8640?

dprinz99:

It is really hitting us from all corners. Naira floating, blocked account opening fee hike, Visa fee hike, and now an additional €600 to be blocked?

This German dream meeehnn. I go wake up o

Lol...Stay strong brother

It appears the German embassy here is never up-to-date with some of these pronouncements.

Even on the Student visa checklist, the amount to be blocked still reads €7908 (minimum).

Worst is, if you write to the visa section about specifics, they will more often than not refer you to their 'not so updated' website.

The embassy should be our 'information box'; pro-active, accessible and reliable. Sadly, the opposite is at play atm.

Rorschach619:

cant say, but did u specify your country when u asked on FB for the new amount?

Touched by @Pepson's post, I have decided to throw my own personal ordeal to the house here and see if anyone has had a similar experience. I hope to receive advice from you guys.
Errm... Ok, I applied to 3 Universities for Master Program in 2016 Summer . I was admitted to the University of Koblenz-Landau (Environmental Sci). The summer program began on 01.04.16. I had my student visa application interview on 29th Jan, 2016 and I received a mail from the embassy an hour after the interview stating that I should fund my account and send the confirmation to them in order to complete my visa application. The other guy we had the interview same day called me a week after the interview that his documents was posted to him in Kano with a rejection letter (despite say the guy don fund even before interview oh). I became afraid I would also be denied but I didn't get any message from the embassy at all. To spoil it all, I had difficulties funding my blocked account then. As the enrolment deadline drew closer, I decided to send a mail to the embassy in the first week of April (before enrolment deadline @ Koblenz) telling the embassy to withhold my visa application. I explained in the mail that I had written to my prospective university that I would like to re-apply for winter '16 (this winter). I also explained that I want to learn some Deutsch at the Goethe Institut with my free period before winter (which am currently doing). I didn't get any reply from the embassy. I feared that my documents would be posted to me with a rejection letter in the courier envelope I submitted after interview. I kept tracking the self-addressed courier envelope online everyday, yet nothing!‎
Finally, winter applications for Master Program opened and thank GOD I had many certified copies of my credentials so I didn't really need my original documents (wey dey for embassy since January 29th interview date). I began to apply afresh for winter with my certified copies of credentials.‎
Now I have admission letter from that same University of Koblenz-Landau (wey I use do interview), and I also have admission letters from ALU-Freiburg, JLU-Giessen, University of Duisburg-Essen and also awaiting from Uni-Bremen und Trier. I'm presently in a position to fund my blocked account with Form-A.
Now my question is this: ‎
After I successfully fund my blocked account, do I have to book for a fresh interview at the embassy again oder Should I just send the DB blocked account payment confirmation with the new Winter Admission Letter from Uni-Koblenz (since I used the summer admission letter of same University for interview)?
Is there anyone here that has been in this kind of scenario? Pls advise because man no fit sleep oh. Danke schön.‎

Oh no! Why is all these happening at the same time? Exchange rate is higher, now an additional 600€ ?. Hmmm... Devil, you are a liar!

biglord:

No I didn't specify..But it was on FB so finding out couldn't have been that hard for them...
Based on what they said though they are just the social media team so they just act as a sort of FAQ to guide pepple
