SoftAnn25: Good day please can someone interpret this for me? I'm sure I submitted all my documents, but got this reply from my school, and they didn't indicate the documents, which I have written to the school demanding for the missing documents, ( As the Ausländerbehörde Siegen informed me, there are still documents missing, but your case is worked on.) But what I don't understand is that can a visa be denied because of missing documents? I'm anxious and traumatize,I did my interview since 30th of August and embassy didn't request of any documents, wrote to alien office in siegen, No response.. please I need reply.. This German people can be funny. Why should the alien office tell you that instead of contacting the embassy directly? .I would advice you to just take the matter to God. You've done your best. If your school responds, then you know what to do. I wonder what could be the missing documents? I tell you dear, that you will scale through this. I tell you solemnly again that you will smile soon, for the light will shine at the end of this tunnel. Just believe. You will remember this when it happens. 4 Likes |

I'd count it "Sinful" to migrate to DE and completely ignore this house that made me. This is my base. Yes i'm still in my first month anyway. So i'm pretty new here. I came here because i got a few stuffs to share...just for those who didn't know already. 1. When you enter here with Block Account, Anybody that is legal and works in Europe can give you Support letter for preceding extensions/renewal . Yes. You don't necessarily need someone who lives and works in DE for that. NB: This is the case in Bayern where i study and live.... 2. Before you come here......L E A R N G E R M A N. Not as if you will die if you don't. But imagine being hungry and don't know how to order for food? Imagine not being able to read signs like "Entrance and Exit, Rauche oder nicht Rauche?" the list is endless... Imagine being in a train but don't know how to tell someone to remind you when you get to your station? Because the "computer" announcing Bahnhoffs says it in German! Imagine stepping on someone but can't say "tut mir sehr leid"? Imagine missing your way (Which is common) and don't know how to ask or take directions? You can't yell bro.. Imagine going to grocery stores and don't even know how to ask where you can find certain thing? Or you can't read or guess-read what's on label? Your mom wouldn't be there to savage. But once you can say "Entschuldigung Sie" a typicall Deustche will reply "Bitte" then you wrap German. It might take a little for you to hear their own German, but at least, you can express yourself with your crude german and they can understand you....that's communication ![grin](https://www.nairaland.com/faces/grin.png) 3. Most of the time, the people that discriminate you (Racist) are not Germans. I can bet my rent on this. Other nationalities who came as you came do! Germans are pretty simple people from my experience. They are supper warm and welcoming....Always asking "Was kann ich fur Sie tun? Brauchen Sie hilfe? 4. If you are like us that have finished school many years and starting over....mehn....start reading again. Re-activate your brain. I mean, read reasonable stuffs that really revamps your brain. Not some Instagram posts. You need to come up to par. It will help you when you come here. 5. Normally, what's actually different is "Method". The lecturers here are fast...kinda. But you'll be fine trust me. If a dumb ass like me can answer questions in Maths, Physics and Statistics classes (Even though i had a HND in Mechanical Engineering from home) while those whites mop at me, then you should do better. Key: Don't be intimidated, don't be proud either. All of us de hustle. 6. If you are coming here with SL, Come with money that can sustain yo for some months, couple of winter suits (If you are coming during winter) and food! Yes. I regretted buying clothes from Nigeria. It's personal. Though a bit expensive (Even though there are cheap stores), stuffs here are of standard. But imagine me coming here with no single maggi cube? I burnt cash already on food since i came. It will take you little time to discover the economic way of feeding here especially if you are like me who doesn't have someone here to show me the way.... 7. Be nice. Don't spoil the reputation of Nigerians. If you do, they will reduce our slots and God no go forgive you. Here.....things work. The system is organized and kinda of ordered. Germans are courteous and sehr nett. Don't come here and block another person future abeg. Don't be notorious. Its nobody's business you Say?, Hell no! It's our business how you behave. Save the innocent Nigerians reputation. 8. Studying Engineering and trying to hammer at the same sequence is almost too hard. You go fail for class. Take it easy. Don't come with high-false-hopes of "Once i enter, i am hammer ![grin](https://www.nairaland.com/faces/grin.png) ".Tell those you borrowed from to chill a while biko. What you can earn here is about 450 Euro per Month which can cater for your basic needs...as poor man wey i be. Once you finish and land a job.....then yo can Ronaldo all you can. 9. Get prepared for the hustle. It's not what you see in pictures. Get your mind prepared. Come prepared. No one has your time here. No one cares about your show-off. Even the Mercedes that dropped me from train station to my place was intimidating. Cars are toys here unlike in 9ja. 10. About chasing women or men.... well, i haven't seen any woman yet that can take my baby's place. As long as it lasts...i will try and control myself. Ain't marrying any shitty white wife even though i am still single. It's my choice and its very possible to stay sane. Girls will kinda be nice to you (what we call green light in Nigeria) but that does not necessarily translate to them rushing you.. nahhhh. But sha if you don't have a babe down here that loves you and you love back...don't commit yourself yet. Reason is...once you land here, your taste for woman go change and almost any 9ja babe you toast with plus+four+nine dialing code go gree... u see? But sha the winter is real mehn....Chukwunna biko! 10. Pls share your experience here. Let us have many Nigerians here....the more the merrier! I didn't have anyone pick me from Frankfurt....so that was the first point of "This is Lagos" in Germany. I had to find my way anyway... imagine i couldn't say shit in german? habatically ![grin](https://www.nairaland.com/faces/grin.png) I learnt german on my own anyway... i got books and audios. Don't use "Geothe is far" as an excuse. Find someone to speak to. Ignore translators...(i have my reasons.) It's better to start learning by speaking nonsense than using translators.. find someone who can learn with you or speak with you. Find and join German learners group on Facebook,...use your spare times productively instead of watching unclad women on Insta or trying to impress your Hushpuppi (for ladies) or Kimkardianshan (for guys) with poses and posts (I am saying this to those whose passion is strong about migrating and surviving here). Set your priorities and take it one at a time. Surely when you come here...you will change..positively (maybe). You'd become more simple and more open... Its really irrational to blame Nigerians. Youths especially. What we are or have today as Nigerians was what was made available to us and what we were exposed to. Things are really shitty in Nigeria. Come here and refine your mind. Come here and become better. Nigerians are strong people. We've learned to survive the impossible. I can't imagine spending about 30years of my life only in Nigeria and Africa....

Ask your questions. Believe me, when you ask people to indicate, you will hardly get a response. If, on the other hand, you simply post your questions, people who had applied and got admission to RUB will gladly answer.
Personally, I was admitted into the M.Sc. in Economics Programme at Ruhr University Bochum. For reasons best known to me, I declined the offer.
Kindly post your questions, people will help you out. 1. Does Ruhr Uni use uniassist? Didn't see them on the site. 2. If no, how Peculiar is their application process? Didn't see anything on their site other than the fact that application is now closed. 3. Acceptance rates. |

Re: General German Student Visa Enquiries Part 5 by Nobody: 4:56am On Oct 07, 2018 |
SooCute: I'd count it "Sinful" to migrate to DE and completely ignore this house that made me. This is my base. Yes i'm still in my first month anyway. So i'm pretty new here.
I came here because i got a few stuffs to share...just for those who didn't know already.
1. When you enter here with Block Account, Anybody that is legal and works in Europe can give you Support letter for preceding extensions/renewal . Yes. You don't necessarily need someone who lives and works in DE for that. NB: This is the case in Bayern where i study and live....
2. Before you come here......L E A R N G E R M A N. Not as if you will die if you don't. But imagine being hungry and don't know how to order for food? Imagine not being able to read signs like "Entrance and Exit, Rauche oder nicht Rauche?" the list is endless... Imagine being in a train but don't know how to tell someone to remind you when you get to your station? Because the "computer" announcing Bahnhoffs says it in German! Imagine stepping on someone but can't say "tut mir sehr leid"? Imagine missing your way (Which is common) and don't know how to ask or take directions? You can't yell bro.. Imagine going to grocery stores and don't even know how to ask where you can find certain thing? Or you can't read or guess-read what's on label? Your mom wouldn't be there to savage. But once you can say "Entschuldigung Sie" a typicall Deustche will reply "Bitte" then you wrap German. It might take a little for you to hear their own German, but at least, you can express yourself with your crude german and they can understand you....that's communication ![grin](https://www.nairaland.com/faces/grin.png)
3. Most of the time, the people that discriminate you (Racist) are not Germans. I can bet my rent on this. Other nationalities who came as you came do! Germans are pretty simple people from my experience. They are supper warm and welcoming....Always asking "Was kann ich fur Sie tun? Brauchen Sie hilfe?
4. If you are like us that have finished school many years and starting over....mehn....start reading again. Re-activate your brain. I mean, read reasonable stuffs that really revamps your brain. Not some Instagram posts. You need to come up to par. It will help you when you come here.
5. Normally, what's actually different is "Method". The lecturers here are fast...kinda. But you'll be fine trust me. If a dumb ass like me can answer questions in Maths, Physics and Statistics classes (Even though i had a HND in Mechanical Engineering from home) while those whites mop at me, then you should do better. Key: Don't be intimidated, don't be proud either. All of us de hustle.
6. If you are coming here with SL, Come with money that can sustain yo for some months, couple of winter suits (If you are coming during winter) and food! Yes. I regretted buying clothes from Nigeria. It's personal. Though a bit expensive (Even though there are cheap stores), stuffs here are of standard. But imagine me coming here with no single maggi cube? I burnt cash already on food since i came. It will take you little time to discover the economic way of feeding here especially if you are like me who doesn't have someone here to show me the way....
7. Be nice. Don't spoil the reputation of Nigerians. If you do, they will reduce our slots and God no go forgive you. Here.....things work. The system is organized and kinda of ordered. Germans are courteous and sehr nett. Don't come here and block another person future abeg. Don't be notorious. Its nobody's business you Say?, Hell no! It's our business how you behave. Save the innocent Nigerians reputation.
8. Studying Engineering and trying to hammer at the same sequence is almost too hard. You go fail for class. Take it easy. Don't come with high-false-hopes of "Once i enter, i am hammer ".Tell those you borrowed from to chill a while biko. What you can earn here is about 450 Euro per Month which can cater for your basic needs...as poor man wey i be. Once you finish and land a job.....then yo can Ronaldo all you can.
9. Get prepared for the hustle. It's not what you see in pictures. Get your mind prepared. Come prepared. No one has your time here. No one cares about your show-off. Even the Mercedes that dropped me from train station to my place was intimidating. Cars are toys here unlike in 9ja.
10. About chasing women or men.... well, i haven't seen any woman yet that can take my baby's place. As long as it lasts...i will try and control myself. Ain't marrying any shitty white wife even though i am still single. It's my choice and its very possible to stay sane. Girls will kinda be nice to you (what we call green light in Nigeria) but that does not necessarily translate to them rushing you.. nahhhh. But sha if you don't have a babe down here that loves you and you love back...don't commit yourself yet. Reason is...once you land here, your taste for woman go change and almost any 9ja babe you toast with plus+four+nine dialing code go gree... u see? But sha the winter is real mehn....Chukwunna biko!
10. Pls share your experience here. Let us have many Nigerians here....the more the merrier! I didn't have anyone pick me from Frankfurt....so that was the first point of "This is Lagos" in Germany. I had to find my way anyway... imagine i couldn't say shit in german? habatically ![grin](https://www.nairaland.com/faces/grin.png) I learnt german on my own anyway... i got books and audios. Don't use "Geothe is far" as an excuse. Find someone to speak to. Ignore translators...(i have my reasons.) It's better to start learning by speaking nonsense than using translators.. find someone who can learn with you or speak with you. Find and join German learners group on Facebook,...use your spare times productively instead of watching unclad women on Insta or trying to impress your Hushpuppi (for ladies) or Kimkardianshan (for guys) with poses and posts (I am saying this to those whose passion is strong about migrating and surviving here). Set your priorities and take it one at a time. Surely when you come here...you will change..positively (maybe). You'd become more simple and more open...
Its really irrational to blame Nigerians. Youths especially. What we are or have today as Nigerians was what was made available to us and what we were exposed to. Things are really shitty in Nigeria. Come here and refine your mind. Come here and become better. Nigerians are strong people. We've learned to survive the impossible. I can't imagine spending about 30years of my life only in Nigeria and Africa....
You have the right to thrash this....It's 100% your freedom.
Alles gute. Great! Great!.Great!.Great!....The good Lord will protect and guide you...#Amen!! |

jesujoba001: Good evening Nairalanders, for those that submitted their passport and insurance during the last week of September you can track your parcel. I just discovered mine left the embassy yesterday for shipment. Please when did you submit yours? A friend submitted his 25th of September and still no response. Thanks |
Re: General German Student Visa Enquiries Part 5 by Nobody: 5:20am On Oct 07, 2018 |
For those that Certified at German embassy,
Looking at the fact that the courses I am settling for,are not yet open for application for 2019/2020,,
will the German Embassy certify my documents without a printout(application form) from each of these courses being included?..

Who said you cannot finish with first class in Germany? Yes you can, not that it really matters anyways, but you know how it goes. Your skills and papers speak for you in Germany. Over two years ago, I was a silent reader on this thread, full of valuable information, kudos to the creator of this thread. You guys are changing lives. For the new comers and the guys in the middle of their masters here, just know everything is possible. What you put in is what you get - garbage in, garbage out. I'm here to encourage you to " risk been seen in all of your Glory ". Never give up, but ensure you put your best or don't do it at all. Before end of studies, I had very nice job offers, processed EU blue card directly even before my final master defence. Germany is tough, yes! But it is not necessarily tough, as long as you are tougher, but don't be rude. The Professors are very nice, but do not let them tag you "unserious", else you ll be seeing 3.3 on your grade sheet every semester - they don't care too, if you don't care about your grades. If you are involved in group project, you can't hide behind the middle finger! They know if you are not working, they are not stupid! Don't be pushed back because of the color of your skin, lead the group and understand you are as equal as them, but don't rub it on anyone's face! Quickly avoid the Professors that doesn't like you, Yes there are! Don't take their courses if you can avoid it! Very mean and crazy, with the way the Nigerian government dealt with you before you leave, last thing you need is a another witch or wizard in DE. Make good impressions - the Professors profiles you from your write up, yes I know , I was an HIWI with one. If you are to write a paper, please read a lot of journals and write sound report, put in your best and don't copy!!!! All you need is that first impression - it happened to me. I was just in the studio one day and the Dean walked up to me, she asked: "Have you been a lecturer or been writing research papers before, could you join our academic commission?" -> I told you, put in your best in all you do! Don't give your friend to copy your work, I know it sounds selfish unless he\she paid half of your block account money for you. But hey, if its going to hurt you, don't do it. Else, you ll enter the black book and the mark is good to be divided by the number of 'copiants' - I saw it happened!!. This is not Nigeria, anyone that wants to copy your work is ... need I say more? In my school, the exams are very tough. 10 - 18 questions within 60minutes and you need over 93% (Some Profs 97%) to get the highest grade - 1.0. In short, you should be highly prepared for the exam before you register for it! Don't gamble! You can always write it when you are ready, next semester - but don't let it be too long. Ironically in my school, the further you push your exams, the lower the possibility of securing a good grade - it happened to me, I was shocked! I pushed Remote sensing and Photogrametry to the 3rd semester, I got a shock of my life! (I hate the course, but it was compulsory). Not that your CGPA is the most important thing in life anyways - which is true. If you value relationships and social life more, go for it - we all need connections. But for some of us, we'd like to finish what we started with remarkable evidence ![wink](https://www.nairaland.com/faces/wink.png) There are plenty things to say, but the post is getting rather too long.

SoftAnn25: Good day please can someone interpret this for me? I'm sure I submitted all my documents, but got this reply from my school, and they didn't indicate the documents, which I have written to the school demanding for the missing documents, ( As the Ausländerbehörde Siegen informed me, there are still documents missing, but your case is worked on.) But what I don't understand is that can a visa be denied because of missing documents? I'm anxious and traumatize,I did my interview since 30th of August and embassy didn't request of any documents, wrote to alien office in siegen, No response.. please I need reply.. MisMissing of document does not leads to rejection, in case of missing documents you will be notified by the embassy via mail 1 Like |

There are plenty things to say, but the post is getting rather too long. I'm sure you understand what I mean - YOU CAN BE WHATEVER YOU WANT TO BE - TAKE YOURSELF VERY SERIOUS - NO ONE CARES.
With greetings and warm regards..
@"last thing you need is another witch or wizard in DE" pls wat do you mean by this ![grin](https://www.nairaland.com/faces/grin.png) |

justwise: Here is the part 5.
Part4 is here https://www.nairaland.com/modifypost?post=58760455&redirect=%2F3941544%2Fgeneral-german-student-visa-enquiries%2358760455
I really have to thank those who stayed back to help even after getting their visas and despite their busy study and work programs in Germany.
I also have to thank those who shared their experiences right from visa journey to life in Germany as foreign students.
For newbies your German school search starts here https://www.daad.de/deutschland/studienangebote/en/
The following steps will help newbies (Thanks to CassieV for the tips)
Most of the schools in Germany are tuition free even for international students, you only get to pay a certain amount as semester fees say between 100-400 euros and most times the semester fee comes with a semester ticket to aid in transportation in your city or town. However, before you're granted a student visa, you have to prove that you can take care of your living expenses with one of the following means ; 1. Block account: The estimated living expenses for a student in a month is 720euros, when you multiply that by 12 months, you get 8640euros. This is the amount you're required to block in an already opened account with either Deutsch bank, Fintiba or Xpatrio. It is called a block account because you will not be able to withdraw everything at once, only 720euros will be released to you every month. 2. Sponsorship letter: If you have a relative living and working legally in Germany, they can get you this letter. They'll have to visit the alien office in their city and will be required to provide some documents and pay a certain fee. The letter will be sent to you when they receive it so that you can go with it for your visa interview. 3. Scholarship: This is usually the best if you have the scholarship, your visa will be granted in under 2 weeks after interview. So try and look for scholarships you can apply to.
Now that you understand the financial situation, let's go into the application process. To search for schools, click on this link https://www.daad.de/deutschland/studienangebote/international-programmes/en/?p=l&q=&fos=0&lang[]=2&fee[]=0&sortBy=1&page=1&display=list filter your search to make it easier, there are English taught courses there. Generally, the very important documents needed to apply to schools in Germany are; 1. Transcript 2. English Proficiency 3. School Certificates (Degree, Waec, etc) However, depending on the school, some other documents needed are as follows. 4. Curriculum Vitae 5. Motivation letter 6. Reference letters 7. GRE test 8. Etcetera.. Visit your prospective school website and find out the documents they need from you. Note: You don't apply with your original documents, you have to make photocopies of them and Certify them in High court or a Notary public. If you stay in Lagos, you can certify at the German Embassy too. You'll have to book appointment for that. For those planning to go for a Bachelors course, you need a 100level transcript from a university to apply for a BSc program in germany. WAEC alone will not be enough and No, OND will not do, you need a HND.
For the application proper, it is always important to go through the website of the schools you want to apply to, you'll get a lot of information form there concerning how to apply. Some schools do only online applications, some requires that you send your application documents to them by post after applying online, some you send your documents as pdf to their email address and then you get the uni assist crew. Like I said earlier, it is important to go visit and read the websites.
When you get your admission letter, open a block account immediately(that is if you don't already have a sponsorship letter) and as soon as you get your account details, send an email to the embassy requesting for a visa interview date. You need these to get an interview date: 1. Admission letter 2. Block account/sponsorship letter/scholarship letter 3. International passport data page(scanned) Then your Full name and Resident address.
Prepare for your interview Go for your interview What if I have no relatives and sponsor and only have a waec certificate, can I study there? I mean sponsoring myself and all that. 1 Like |
