The letter is for summer semester not winter...and they are the o e that told me to send my documents, why all of a sudden they turn cold feet!
The first email they sent you, you honestly didn't answer the question.
The second email they sent you looks like one for booking a fresh appointment.
Let for me, I suggest you defer your admission and reapply for a fresh interview.
Appealing might take a while and you may even miss out on school work.

Also, just to add, when the embassy asked you if you want to appeal or book a new interview,your response sounded like you just wan travel.
Giving them the right to decide for you.
Be more firm and choose an option with a set out plan.
My suggestion shaaaaa

To God be the glory, I've joined the league of our brethren who have done their interview and are now waiting for the good news �

As is the culture here, this is for those yet to do theirs.

First off, ensure u have ur documents the way they ought to be (one original, two photocopies). Then, make sure u obey Mr. Paulinus' instructions. If u do these, u'll be checked in without any form of embarassment.

In no particular order, I was asked the following questions:

My intended course and level of study
The university (full name)
Why I chose the course
Why I chose Germany
Things I know about Germany
Why not Nigeria
Why not the US, UK or Canada
The admission officer of the uni
One thing led to another that made the VO ask me who the current minister of mines and steel development is.
My undergrad thesis title

That should be all. I wish y'all the best!

Hmmm, the VO wan get back at u but u are cleared even if you don't know it, na everything person go know about Germany?

Hello group i need help if anyone can render with an idea!. I did my interview on the 25th October and had issues with the admission letter sent from sch, even the vo told me to contact the sch and tell them them that the letter wasn’t complete and i shoud send them the complete letter by email, I contacted sch and send them the letter i had byt got rejected with reason “ you couldn’t provide a valid admission letter from a german university ( although interview went well) “ so i start again to contact the sch and they agreed they would send me another complete letter this tome but only 5weeks before admission date! Which is 29jan, so I forwarded the the sch gave me to embassy letting dem know d status, then during end of dec i go the complete letter this time and even a map of my state and so on! Then emailed embassy asking for them to review my application nd for a date of a new interview date cos no space on website, the replied saying “ do you want to appeal the decision of the embassy or do you want ro register for a new appointment”
I replied, i wanted a date so i can meet up with my time. ( I didn’t want to appeal not to take chances and the time factor of 4weeks don pass).
I got a reply few days later saying “ thank you for your email, send your name, adress and documents as attachment to students@lago.diplo.de”. This was on the 2nd of Jan, when i got the email and I quickly replied, that same day nd sent them everything( but this wasn’t the email i was using to
Communicate with them
) but since that 2jan I haven’t heard any reply or date given to me yet!.
I emailed them again and still nothing and my time is fast approaching. What can i do??
I also attached that last email i got from them.
Any suggestions will help a long way really. Thank you

Rebook for an appointment with ur email u with, you should be able to get a response within 72hours. I still believe there is something not complete with what u sent or not presented well. Hope you captioned the email title well?

So what exactly is ur point? Haven't you noticed the declining rate of answers given even from those in Germany, simply because the questions d see are continually repeated and no one likes to repeat himself forever.
I am not against questions asked, I ask too and answer the few I know, but some u read and pissed with like someone asking you how to go about raising block money etc?
We need more of interview transcripts, Germany experiences and tips as much as we need relevant questions or confusing issues asked.

My first time here. Been a guest and seen the thread from part 1-5. Lovely thing you folks here are doing. It's an encyclopedia here, for those who like to read.
Before NL, I took interest in Rhine Waal university of applied science in Kleve against winter 2019. MSc Mechanical engineering. They want IELTS/TOEFL by force. Then there this exam I've never heard of TestAS. Making enquiries told I could write it at Goethe institute Lagos and if Lagos isn't a center, Accra is the closest.
I never read anything like that here. Anyone know what the exam is like? Past questions or something? I've also not seen or read any other school making it a requirement.
I won't mind any info as regards this TestAS.
Also, on this school, I'm looking at a PhD outside Germany later on, will I qualify? I read outside NL that some schools MSc in Germany don't exactly qualify to go in for PhD. Please if you have info as regards this also, I love to know

Finally, I'm also looking at Technical University of Munich - MSc Computational Mechanics for winter 2019. If there's anyone along that line, we could have a lot to share.
Danke




TestAS is usually for undergraduate studies. Please reconfirm the requirements for your intended program and explore other options. Try to apply to nothing less than 4 schools if you can afford.

1. It is not a must.

2. With germans, up to you. With Africans, its complicated, especially the French speaking Camerounians.

3. Irrelevant question. Is rent off campus in Nigeria cheaper than school hostel?

Thanks for your response. I also felt that exam should before bachelor's. If I can drop that school, I will.
I will surely consider TUM and Ruhr University for 2 different courses. I hope for the best for the winter. Cheers

I am sorry this is coming late as I am just seeing this post. I would have posited that you appeal. The reason for this is because for one, the appeal process would have been really quick (max 2 days) because no process had started on your application due to the incomplete admission documents from the school. The simple solution would have been to write a letter of remonstration (appeal) stating the issues with the admission letter and the solution you found to it. Attach the new admission documents to the letter of remonstration and email it to them. This would have been treated immediately and if all suffices, your application process started. You would have just had to wait the regular waiting period for visa issuance. Asking for a new date with the back log of applicants seeking interview dates is a bigger ask in this case and the bad part is that the embassy will not advice on this matter.

I would now advice that you respond to the initial mail asking you to choose to either appeal or get a new interview date, state that you want to appeal and that the appeal letter is attached with supporting documents and copy all the email addresses you know.

Hope you get a resolution soon.

All the best

I actually do get ur point... was just saying, you know people will always ask questions. relevant and irrelevant. Won't bother to read a little.
I have personally researched on every city and school I plan to apply to.
The Indians have gone far in providing information for their people. They have YouTube videos on every aspect of moving to Germany for studies (I have watched a lot)
Hoping Africans... Nigerians can emulate that

Cool. Please how can one go about that?? That seem to be the way out for a "satisfactory" initial BSc grade.
Re: General German Student Visa Enquiries Part 5 by Fabcol(m): 6:45pm On Jan 14, 2019
Same way you apply with your 100l transcript(I believe you know how this works)...just that this time your are sending the full transcript.. Yea also applying with with your full transcript gives you a wider course option meaning you can apply to a course totally different from what you studied in your first degree..I dont know if applying with just 100l transcript would give you this option
