johnmattew: I went to make enquiry about form A in 2 banks,zenith and first bank today.suprisingly, zenith bank said form A exchange rate is 347 per euro while first bank said 407.both banks are located in Ikeja......I thought form A rate were equal I experienced same thing. Zenith told me #352/euro in Benin. Go to their HQ to confirm, I was surprised. Tho a friend of mine who works there said they get majority of the forex released by CBN into the country. |

Thanks bro. Like when should one look forward for enrolment deadline. I'm in my final year here and I want to do a fresh bsc but schools are even on strike here. And do you know if hamburg accepts letter of proficiency ? Finally, are you in hamburg ? Thanks Deadline varies from course to course. As at last year, IE application deadline was May 31st (winter only) and they do accept proficient letter. However, I will advice you to inquire directly from school, things can change anytime. I still de naija. |

INTERVIEW TRANSCRIPT BELOW Admission Letter: Arrived around august 2018.
Date of Interview: 8th Jan 2019
AM: 25th Jan 2019
VISA: 12th Feb 2019
School: Bahaus University Weimar (Computer Science for Digital Media) and Masters in Research and Computer Science Ilmenau. (I'm still not decided on the best option in terms of stress of study, accommodation and job opportunities)
Background:I didnt know about this thread until about 3 weeks before my interview so I thought i could only use Deutche Bank for the blocked account therefore i had to spend 3 months trying to get an account and funding it. By the time i realized i had other options for my blocked account, time had been far spent so my option was to go for summer semester (April 2019). After funding i couldnt get a date for visa interview so i had to pay one lady close to the embassy 40k just to get me a date. ![cry](https://www.nairaland.com/faces/cry.gif)
I work and live in Lagos mainland but i decided to get a hotel on the island because i had too many delays during this process of schooling in Germany and i didn't want to take any more chances.
I got a hotel at Igbosere road for 5k on the 7th of Jan. I didnt need to go to the embassy because i had been there severally. After booking i hung my suit arranged my docs as specified in the checklist. I practiced all i had read on this thread and heard from peeps in DE.
After that i called my babe to come keep me company at the hotel room after she closes from work by 10pm. I went out of the hotel room to get some food, beer and smoked one wrap under the bridge at CMS.
I returned to the room to remember all i had learnt about germany, Weimar, and my school. I could not sleep that night cos i was very restless. I kept checking my time and reading about Germany.
When it was 3am i got up and took a shower. I asked my babe to request taxify for me. By 4am i was on my way to the embassy. In 10mins i arrived the embassy and i saw the usual touts there. I didnt even bother to reply cos one guy assumed i came for US visa and i didnt bother telling him i came for German visa. I allowed him to waste his time before asking him to get a decent job and stop scamming people.
The main gate leading to the embassy gets opened by 5am. When it was time a soldier opened it and we all entered. I was the only person going to the German embassy at that time. I went and waited at the security post. The security man came and asked me to leave until 30 mins to my time.(7am). so i left and went to use the atm to top up the cash i had in case the exchange rate fluctuates.
I came back and stood on the line and waited till 6:30am before the arrogant and uncouth Paulinus started praying which lasted a few minutes (I think a petition should be written against Pulinus, he doesn't deserve to be there) then we were asked to come with our appointment letters and passport.
Student visa applicants were 3 that morning and i was the first. The key to having it smoothly is getting all your documents arranged based on the checklist even tho Paulinus might do his own rearrangement. But just be ready to provide your docs and photocopies as requested by Paulinus.
After the arrangement i was ushered in. Just after being searched, i dropped my fone and i didnt go into the main building. I did my interview standing close to the exit hearing all they were discussing outside but i didn't allow it distract me.
The VO was a young lady who types slowly. Shes very polite (as it should be).
MAIN INTERVIEW
VO: Hello
ME: Hi, Good Morning
VO: **inaudible**
ME: Sorry i didnt get that (note that there is a bullet proof glass between me and her so she was not so audible)
VO: Please pick up the fone
ME: **Picks up the fone**
VO: Which School
ME: Bahaus Unversity Weimar
VO: Course
ME: CS4DM
VO: **Checks my docs and asks me to sign if my info is correct**
ME: **signs**
VO: why this course?
ME: I answered
VO: Why germany
ME: Inconsistent academic calender in Nigeria, cheap education comparatively etc
VO: why not US or UK
ME: Cost
VO: What do you know about Germany
ME: i told her all i had been reading on wikipedia
Note: she was typing slowly, so i was dictating carefully, i didnt rush her and she didnt rush me. it gave me time to think of more points
VO: What do you intend to do after studies
ME: Return to Naija and lecture
GOD: Stupid liar
VO: What is your present house address
ME: wrote it on my form and signed
VO: Okay, we are done. Do u have any questions?
ME: When do i get my originals certificates back?
VO: I cant say. Expect an email from us anytime. We will contact you via email
ME: Ok thanks, Have a nice day.
VO: Have a nice day too. bye
So she handed me my passport and i left to go and get my stuff from the security and they were asking me to please give them something. In my mind i was wondering if they dont get paid or must every Nigerian in a public space beg like cops.
I did as if i didnt hear and i zoomed off. I went out by 7:45. Interview lasted about 30 mins (standing). I was the first to go in and first to come out. Others were asked to go to the back if they couldnt provide their docs quickly. The queue was still much when i was leaving.
If i had known the thread earlier it would have saved me lot of time and money. But better late than never as they say. For those preparing for interview. Please read all past transcripts. Thats sufficient with respect to what you will expect. make sure all ur docs are complete and you have photocopies. Follow the checklist strictly and have 3 copies of ur CV(one original and 2 copies). I wrote my letter of motivation on a plane sheet. About a page and half in length.
Right now i'm waiting to get my AM so that i can resign and jet out. I'm also working on getting accommodation in Weimar cos accommodation apparently is an issue for German students.
EDIT---------------------------------------------
So my AM and VISA has arrived.
Never loose hope
I wish you all success. Cheers ![cool](https://www.nairaland.com/faces/cool.png) 20 Likes 2 Shares |

It’s not compulsory.. I really don’t understand why you’re complaining or who you are complaining to. You’re just wasting peoples’ time to read through relevant informations, what’s ur problem? Just go to UK or US! its like you left sense of reasoning in 2018. Did i call your name? I am just sharing my anxiety and some guys are in the same condition as me.. Awaiting admission..

It's possible to air or counter an opinion without having a rude undertone or being aggressive upfront. The thread is no man's land. Do what you can to help and leave the rest. If a question or opinion seems silly to you, addressing it politely or skipping will save a lot of stress. |

[quote author=Reichtum post=74804768]
I wonder who you are trying to favor over 80% of German student applicants are on NL. This is like a father teaching "survival of the fittest mentality within his own family". This what Mystique20 and some of us are trying to correct. Last winter application was messed up for some people. I had Admission letter in June, applied for interview the following day but i was given interview date 3 months after.
Let us be orderly please, "NA WE WE".
Actually that 20% (according to your statistics) are probably only aware of the website booking system (which bypasses admission) as the email system is depicted as being exclusive to scholarship students on the website. Thanks for the info on the advantage of filing with small cities though. |

My advice to those of us who have multiple admission letter is to have your interview with admission letter of schools in smaller towns. Visa processing in some big cities takes very long time. E.g Dresden is 6 months, Hamburg is 3 months. my 1 cent advice sha.

Re: General German Student Visa Enquiries Part 5 by 0pinionator: 9:28pm On Jan 16, 2019 |
Mystique20: I do understand your need to educate others on the other option, however, don't you think it'll serve everyone better if only those with admissions booked? When an applicant finally decides to cancel, don't you think it'll be too late for whoever would have gotten that spot? This might be a faceless forum, but people take the advice they get from here seriously, therefore if we encourage the culture of booking when admission is given, it'll save everyone the stress and help hasten up the process.
Idealism can be counter-productive AT A TIME LIKE THIS. I remember a guy in 2018 who booked with a letter from the institution he applied to stating he had applied. At that point, his admission wasn't guaranteed yet he was granted a date. And he got admitted before the date, thankfully. At least that's a precedent. There have also been people who were granted canceled appointments which became available and they were able to make it because they were prepared. Please don't be too quick to label a contrary perspective selfish and unreasonable. Point taken regardless. Shalom. |
