*****

After next day after the contact with the uncle , I made up my mind to apply to Germany...with faith o! Because there was no money to fund my Block Account or even hope of getting!

So I started with applying for my undergraduate transcripts and certificate from my school! (Btw, I didn’t get it till 2 months later). I also wrote the IELTS exam and had a 7.0 score.

With all my documents set, I started applying for schools. They were about 7-8 and got admission to all but 2 schools. This was towards the end of June and early July. By now, I had gotten an appointment date at the embassy and was preparing.

All hands was on deck...Affliction must not strike a second time!

My interview came and it was beautiful! And as God will have it, I got my approval Mail 2 weeks and 6 days later! It was an amazing feeling! Along the way, I got a Sponsorship Letter from a relative in Germany and submitted to the embassy with the other requested documents!

To the Glory of God, Visa came back exactly 3 weeks later!

The look on my mom’s face was priceless! And I’d forever cherish that memory!

So now that we are here now, let’s talk about my preparations!

From Friday and a week to my travel date, I’ll start giving out day to day updates of my preparation and experiences! And yeah, I’d be adding pictures too!

Stay glued to this thread...we would be having so much fun!

You truly started from the bottom, I'm glad your dreams finally came through. But I'll like to confirm something about the USA denial from you, I've heard of cases like that, infact I've heard of cases whereby the applicants gets a denial notification that same day after being approved at the embassy in person.

Where you on Administrative processing to confirm some of your documents or what lead to the denial, was it indicated on your denial letter?

Sorry about how the Dubai processing went south after paying. We can't tell if your family friend was involved and got their share or they didn't know anything and started acting brand new towards you cause of shame, I can't judge them.

lastly, congrats on your Germany visa approval. before I opened this thread, I don know say Hadampson must be surely present . If you're using a sponsorship letter, must the person be related to you, like if you get babe for there, you fit use hers?

Hadampson:






That's certain, you know Deutschland ist mein Traumland

MidEastPrince:


Hello tiptoe1,

I believe the case of denial after approval became more pronounced last year! I can say with a level of certainty that the scrutiny was tripled around this time. 6 months prior, it wasn’t that bad! Infact, I met some other guy who got denied same day too!

About being placed on Admnistrative Processing, I wasn’t at any point! It just went from issues to rejected! And when I picked up my passport, it was handwritten that I was denied under the regular 214b section! I still can’t wrap my head around all that day even happened sef!

About the Dubai processing, I don’t know if my friend and his mom knew about the whole ish, but they must have known that this man was just leading me on cos up until now, they still haven’t called to sympathize or ask if I had gotten the cash back! But all glory to God!

Using a Sponsorship Letter has requirements that your intended sponsor must fulfill before the letter would be issued. A lot more on this is present on the Nairaland German Student thread! Maybe I’d like that write about this subsequently. And yes, your babe can write you a Sponsorship letter!

Thanks a lot for the well wishes. God bless you.

Steps To Study In Germany (Part2)

Hello guys,

So yesterday, I dropped the first part of the step by step process of studying in Germany. I tried my best to make it as simple as possible to follow! Had to build on a content from a particular group member who shared the updated version. (Let’s say thank you to this person )

Moving on, you’ll find below the most important parts of all this waka! Infact, without a means of subsistence, one can’t go anywhere, even after getting AM!

Hope you enjoy the read!

:::::::::::::::::::::

5. MEANS OF SUBSISTENCE
i) Funding your BLOCK ACCOUNT (BA) through Deutsche Bank, Fintiba OR any other efficient German bank to deposit €10,236 (minus bank service charges on both ends)

OR

ii) Get sponsor who is a German resident eligible to issue a VERPFLICHTUNGSERKLARUNG – Sponsorship Letter (SL)

OR

iii) Get a Scholarship from a German Institution

6. Interview
Subsequently, I’ll drop some common interview questions for anyone who would like to have an idea of what to expect! It is majorly a conversation and some questions about Germany. For Bachelors degree applicants, the embassy has recently introduced tests to go with the interview.


7. Waiting Period for ApprovailMail (AM)
This is one of the most crucial stages of this whole process. You would really be hit by a multitude of emotions. Waiting time can be between 4-12 weeks! It all depends on the discretion of the Visa Officer and the foreigners office in the city you’re headed! I have seen some who got their approval mail earlier than 4 weeks though. Infact, mine came in 2 weeks and 6 days. I have seen 4 days too! So it all depends.

Good news is, once you get this mail, you’re closest to the finish line! Except something dramatic happens after you send your Sponsorship Lettter or Blocked Account Confirmation or your passport.

If you use BA, you’ll get your Passport with visa under 5 days! If you use Sponsorship Letter, it could take a month. This is because the embassy would need to verify the document.



8. The A.M mail drops...Congratulations!!!

9. *Get travel insurance and book flight ticket whilst you send it alongside your international passport (if not collected on interview day).*

10. Safe Travels


That’s it guys! Thanks for reading.

Kindly like, share and comment! And don’t forget to ask your questions.

MidEastPrince:


You will find useful information on the German Student thread here on Nairaland!

And if you still don’t get what you want, you can ask on here, I’d try my best to answer to the best of my knowledge!

Thank you.
