Hi,

I am 31,recently married (8 months),i have a job now in Nigeria that pays 170k monthly. I recently got a scholarship to study for my PhD in Germany and a Visa to resume Sept with full insurance and stipends for myself and my wife.

I have never left the country and I feel somehow about it. The uncertainty and all.

If this was you,would you take it?And why?

Good question!

For me the answer is even objective rather than subjective!

I will say yes without hesitation!

I don’t think you have anything to loose especially with fact that you are on scholarship.

In three years your value will exponentially increase. As a PhD student your stipends should be enough to forget that 170k..lol..

The benefits of studying can never be overemphasized.

Exposures, knowledge and practical skills concatenated.

The only thing difficult to deal with is that u will miss ur wife which u can even invite him over for reunion ( 3months Schengen visa). Take her round the world just like you promised her when you were dating. Over 20 countries to explore without additional visa. You can even travel from Germany to some countries for 2euros.

That being said. Monopolize the offer my guy. There is more to life than 170k. In four years time that company may not afford you and u can afford to bring ur wife over.

Schönes Wochenende!

Hello All , Please Are there student visa interview transcript for peoople going for Studienkolleg or freshman programs?

X36DD:
Okay so I just had the sweetest Interview ever.

I was interviewed by the visa officer in room 4. A black really nice guy!

So I got to the embassy at 5:40am waited until 6:30am before Paulinus came. As soon as he came you’d know he’s the one immediately. His opening line was “it seems this people are not ready to stand on the cue. On the cue was a guy going to the same school as I am, Bachelor’s. So we got acquainted and started reviewing interview questions including the mayor of our town and population of my city. This two guys came from no where and said they were previously on the queue since 4am so they must be first. (There’s no first anywhere so just enjoy). Until one forgot his appointment print out and had to go reprint.

Paulinusattended to short stay visa first then us. The man be wan show himself for my side when he asked for certificate I placed my transcripts instead. He said i should remove it, later came again and asked why have I not put my university information, does he want me to send me to the back of the line? I just Jejely put it back. (I was just praying).

I cleared him, kept my phone with the security guys and entered. Followed the green line to the waiting room. I just sat down and was requestioning all the visa questions in my head.

I won’t lie to you I was pressured, really pressured and when I was ushered into room 4, I could barely hear the guy through the glass and kept asking him to repeat everything until he probably noticed my pressured self and smiled at me. I felt really calm and took a deep breathe.

Now he looked at my application form and I had accidentally wrote my city instead of my state and he nicely asked me to correct it. Gave me the form to sign for incomplete transfer amount. (I partly funded). We know some people would like to help but please let’s apply wisdom. I asked a question about what fintiba documents to submit Transfer documents or opening confirmation and someone said opening confirmation. Please and please if you are not sure don’t answer because thankfully if not I had a nice VO, He painstakingly showed explained and went to bring a transfer Information document to show me what it looks like. Gave me a form and Instructed i submitted at the gate(paulinus) before 10am.

Why checking my documents he asked me what school my name course? I told him Industrial Engineering, he asked what about it he Maintenance and operation attached I said yeah there are types of industrial engineering. (production) and maintenance and operation. Explained what the later is.

Interview proper.
Do you speak german?
Ans i am currently learning A1,
he said wrong and repeated.
Ans: No.
Why this course?
Language of instruction?
Do I know anyone in Germany?
Do you have any relatives?
Plans after study?
What school?
Why germany?
Why not Nigeria?
Why not English speaking countries?
What do I know about Germany?
He cut me off and asked why I didn’t complete my education at 400L as I seem to be a very intelligent person.
Asked if I have any questions
Said he enjoyed our interview and I said the same.
I forgot my passport and he called me back. And reminded me to deposit the transfer documents at the gate.
Sharply printed and gave to paulinus
Spent 4K printing and photocopying

He was also particular about the category I booked.

Bro reply your mail, I sent a DM already

Guys and ladies I don't have a primary school certificate as i moved from primary 5 to jss1 as dem dey do then. What do I do?
Also this transcript thing how do I get it from my school unilag. They don't send it to individuals. ?
Also I was born before 1992 so that NPC certificate do I still need it as I have my original birth certificate?
Thanks

In general cost of living is usually same except for rent and semester ticket. NRW isn't that affordable when it comes to accommodation and semester ticket. The good news is what you loose in accommodation you gain from touring the entire state.

You can't compare NRW to places like Schleswig-Holstein (kiel to be precise). the semester ticket in kiel is 115( for FH-kiel) and u can get a 2 person WG for 170euros pro monate (last i paid in kiel was 194euros ). be guided there are more expensive ones. u can switch if u re on a low budget after some months.

There are little or no professional jobs in lippstadt/Paderborn and most require good german skills. NRW is the biggest state in Germany. Most people speak good german in the west. there is a local airport there too.

You will be fine, there are student jobs to pull you through during the course of studying.

Thanks alot

Hello Guys, another quick question

Someone told me to certify my documents in High Court before going to the Embassy?

Please is this compulsory. I honestly don't understand what he was talking about, I just said OK.

Truthsayer009.......No it's not compulsory and it's not true. I haven't heard of that before. Please disregard such information. Pls prepare for your interview and take your documents along. All the best.

computaholicGoc:


Not that necessary. just find out from ur school. Apart from the embassy, u have other options Notary Public and the Fed High courts.

the FHC is the most available if u don't live within the metropolis of lagos and/or the school doesn't ask for that specifically.

Also note that the embassy is limited. i can't categorically say how many copies u can certify at the embassy.
Notary Public is the most expensive

Please which of this is the most affordable. Federal High Court, Embassy or Notary Public

Congrats! receive your AM soon in Jesus name (Amen)
Please which item exactly are you referring to in the comment.... "Now he looked at my application form and I had accidentally wrote my city instead of my state and he nicely asked me to correct it."
Is it
1. Place of birth?
2. Contact address?

Thanks

Contact address. Let’s say you live in Maitama, i listed full address and maitama at the end.
Then the next line where you have post code and place, i put maitama post code and maitama again instead of Lagos.

DeutschMariano:

Bro what category did you book?

Category B going for bachelors

computaholicGoc:


You missed one more.Notary Public.

tho its expensive but its good to find out what your school needs. during my time the FHC (fed high court ) CTC sufficed for all the school i applied.

Yeah notary public. When I went to the high court a notary public certified my documents so I had no idea they were or could be separate.

Who wants to send docs to uni-assist from Abuja?

If you don’t have a primary school certificate you have nothing to worry about. For Your transcripts you can get the student copy, or if you have anyone working in any company to help you pick them, you can send it to them. If you were born before 1992 then you need to do a declaration of age.

@Mishydoo
This economy can dwarf whatever your pay is because it's not entirely about one's pay. A lot surrounds it.
This decision is ultimately yours. Decide wisely.

Philfit:

Thank you. I ask particularly about transcript as I have been offered admission but during enrolment wont the school need to see the original transcript.
The declaration of age thing I just go to a course house right.?
Thanks

My brother it's really not easy, most of those who crossed still have the thread at heart but no time.

Germany no be Yankee or Jand. Most of us faced that confused state the first day/weeks of class. And it restarts your whole system.
It takes some ppl weeks and others even years to settle. ( in terms of the right course and school. So ppl keep changing schools and courses, na that person you want to come say HI for here) So dont take it that way.

No be beans for here.
Las Las it will end in praise

More blessing....

I understand you perfectly well sis but i know some nairalanders who are fully settled but don't come here to update

May our struggles end in praise sis
