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 a date of 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 advise you to get another interview appointment but before that make sure you get the admission differed to summer from winter because the embassy will not grant visa for winter again since the semester is ending soon and you won't be able to meet up.
a letter from the school stating that you can start your study in summer is ok without such letter, you will have to provide another admission letter for summer.

Hello my good e-fam,
I applied for Visa interview since Last year for winter semester.
My document is still at the embassy.
The foreign office responded to my last mail that embassy will soon contact me.
My problem is that the semester will end this week. Though the school said I can transfer some credits.
Will I have issue at German immigration on arrival as they may say that the semester is over?
Will my last year enrollment be accepted or they will need additional document?

Secondly, my supervisor in the office got a Visa for PhD in Berlin but I noticed that the flight she booked is Dusseldorf instead of Berlin.
She said her in law lives there and she wants to spend some time before heading to Berlin.
Will that not cause problem for her?

I don't know if I read correctly, some people say you should just head directly to school before branching. I was telling her she should have booked to Berlin and use train to Dusseldorf.
What do you guys think?

Please no vex if the question is childish

The semester is already ending soon, The embassy will certainly return your document without a visa with the excuse that starting the winter semester is no longer possible.
I will advise you, if you have enrolled already, to contact your course coordinate that visa is delayed and if it is possible to start in summer.
If it is possible, ask for a letter from him stating that you can start your study in summer. with that letter you will use it to apply again for another interview for summer if the embassy returns your documents.

Please who knows what's going on and how I can resolve this?

Keep trying every now and then
Appointment dates were made available yesterday around 2 pm.

Thank you bro, I did yesterday.

Which date was available for you?
Did you book at 12 am sharp?
I am trying to book but not available.

Uche9:

The appointment booking system is ur best bet, I think. When I emailed them, they referred me there but I had to stay awake refreshing the appointment booking page continuously until past midnight for two days before succeeding. Some other ppl have the same testimony. Good luck!

Please we’re you able to book the appointment? And which date did you get?

Hello Samajayi
I will be coming to Münster
I sent you PM, let’s connect

Please do we have those studying in Munster who give me information on how to get accommodation in Munster? I am coming next week but don’t have accommodation yet.
Any information about the cheapest hotel too that one can spend some few nights before accommodation is sorted out?
Danke!

Hello Nairalanders.

Interview Date: 06 Sept.
Funded a month before interview.
AM: 04 Oct.

I sent my passport on Thursday but unfortunately it got to the embassy this morning and my enrollment deadline is on Thursday. The school doesn't was to extend. Please is there any way i can get my passport from the embassy on Wednesday?

how did it go? Were you able to get your passport back on time?

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


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
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.

I love this piece! It’s superb! Thank you for your contribution.
About the cold someone has advised that anyone coming this winter should go to Okrika and buy cotton female leggings and wear it under the trousers, especially those that have much hairs on their legs.

Hey guys! I want to fund my Blocked Account (Fintiba) I was asked at GTbank to open an Euro(€) Account, Transfer Naira into it and then transfer it into my Fintiba Account. It sounded kinda complicated. I no go lie I feel like the guy doesn’t know what he’s saying. Please those of you that funded from naija especially GTBank or FirstBank how did y’all go about it.

You will open a euro account with GTB,
Buy euro from Aboki, fund the account and then the transfer will be done from your euro account to Fintiba.

[quote author=Isoiso post=73066328]Hello guys,

I trust God you are all good and healthy.

Concerning the student visa application checklist. I have all the documents ready, except;
1. 2 identical passport pictures according to biometric specifications.
2. Primary school leaving certificate.

And I really do not know how to go about these.

Please, your kind advise and suggestion(s) will be highly appreciated.

Thanks.
You will need an extra passport photo so go with more than 2

Please how long was it before they sent back your passport with visa after AM dropped?

Good evening everyone
I really thank God for everything.

Had my appointment/interview on 29th August, and after a long wait of over 8weeks, got my AM yesterday 29th October 2018.

The wait was not easy tho, buh still worth it.

I advise we should always be calm and patient. The guys at the Consulate are actually on their best, buh that shouldn't stop your reminders through emails, and calls. Most times the hold up is usually from your destination alien office, cos mine took almost a month for them to reply. I was able to get their office line to call them, I was then informed that the lady in charge of my file was on hols, I had to wait two weeks extra. She finally resumed, they were so kind to give me her desk-ext number, so I called her for three straight days without any response, she finally picked on the fourth day, and promised to treat my file.

I had to call again the next week, and she told me that one of her colleague who was meant to be part of taking a decision on my file was sick, buh she'll try and convince others so they can reach a decision before the end of that week (This Phone conversation was on 22nd Monday last week). I still didn't get the AM all week, so on Friday 26th, I sent an email to the Consulate, and called her, and she informed me that they had responded to the Embassy on Tuesday 23rd Oct.

Yesterday, my AM dropped.


I pray for those waiting; just be of good faith, and always be sincere.

Once again, thank God for everything.
