Thank you for taking the time to respond despite having asked a duplicate question. I do appreciate.

Kamps:



If you've been reading through the threads you won't ask this question.. @Sassy, just did justice to this particular question of yours 1-2 pages back..

it should be handwritten and 2-3pages is fine, just make sure you state all your purpose in it.

WISH YOU ALL THE BEST!

Hello,

Does the letter of motivation needs to be hand-written on an A4 paper or you can type it and print it out. I'm a little confused. Also, how long should it be? Thanks.

Thanks for your response. Do you mean that I should read it from part 1? I can see there are now 5 parts to this thread.

Deustchemann:

1. You can attend your interview without funding. If you've gone through people's transcripts here, many go without funding, and they were told to forward the funding confirmation ASAP. Some even get AM without funding, and they submit the confirmation alongside their passport before visa is issued.
2. Go to playstore and download Fintiba app. Register for a blocked account via fintiba basic. Fill in the required details and upload the required documents. Your account will be opened and you'll get the documents you need
3. You must take your passport to the interview. It will be returned to you after the interview, if you have it in Lagos.
4. Read through the thread from page 1. There are tens of interview transcripts for your consumption.
Please make sure you read. It's for your good.

Jah bless

Hi, I have a couple of questions please and I apologize in advance if it has been answered in any of the threads.

1. Does the blocked account need to be funded before you go for your interview. Would the application be rejected if not
2. What information do you need from the bank you use for blocked account
3. Is it possible to submit your passport after your interview or you must submit it on the day of your interview
4. Can you please share possible interview questions

Eldeee:


Go ahead and apply. some peeps applied today and was given a date. send yours tomorrow morning with the right details as stated here and the necessary documents. all the very best. cheers

I have sent them a mail this evening, I will resend tomorrow morning. Thanks.

Linkzy:


You've funded the account or yet to find?

No, I'm yet to fund. I was told that it doesn't have to be funded to get an Interview date.

Highbeeyajibola:


Forget the message on the site, some people got dates today.

I have sent the email. Hopeful for a positive response. Thanks.

Has anyone booked an appointment lately please?

I just got my BA and just to notice that they are No more Vacancy for Visa appointment for Winter Semeter. Please any thoughts on what I should do?

victree007:

I haven't funded yet at all at all
If you are yet to book for appointment I'll advise you go with the BA even though it hasn't been funded. Later on you can either fund with 8829€ not 8640€ or you can make use of SL.
According to the VO that interviewed me, anyone is fine

THanks

@victree007 Please I have a few questions.

Was your BA fully funded with the 8640 euros? and do you think one should have both BA and SL to be on the safer side?

victree007:
Hello House,
I had my interview this morning 06/07/2018 in Lagos and thought it wise to share my transcript. The interview lasted less than 15 minutes. The multitude that came for interview today sha. It didn’t get to my turn until 9:20AM
So here is how it all went;

VO: Have you funded?
ME: Not exactly. I haven’t exactly decided whether or not I will use a BA or SL as my uncle is currently processing an SL in Munich for me. So the outcome will determine if I’ll be using a BA or SL

VO: Okay. Please read the information on this form and sign
NB: It was a form containing blocked account confirmation details…

So I read and signed the form then passed it over to her.

VO: Why do you want to study in Germany?
ME: I want to study in Germany because the country has some of the world's top universities for geosciences, which are ranked based on their reputation and research in the field. Also, the educational system is high-class and combines theoretical teaching and practical training with the goal of ensuring a lasting/perpetual innovation. The caliber of scientists and geologists that the country has produced over time is a testament to the quality of education currently being offered in Germany. This is why I want to study there.

VO: Masters or Bachelors
ME: Masters

VO: What is the name of the course?
ME: Masters in Sustainable Mining and Remediation Management

VO: What is the title of your BSc thesis?
ME: Hydrogeological Study of Ekiadolor and Environs. I quickly asked if I should spell “Ekiadolor” for her and she said yes. After typing, I asked her to please repeat the spelling of the same (E-K-I-A-D-O-L-O-R) to be sure it was well spelt and she did.

VO: Why do you want to study this particular course?
ME: The Sustainable Mining and Remediation Management programme is a critical aspect of Geology in which I want to carry out a geoscientific and an environmental research. This area of investigation is a build-up on my undergraduate thesis in Hydrogeology and it will give me the opportunity to conduct a research on the geochemistry of acid mine drainage and its impact on water and earth resources particularly around mining exploration communities. The skills and knowledge to be gained from this programme will readily make me become a better environmental hydrogeologist.

VO: Why not study this course in Nigeria?
ME: The level of infrastructure and the quality of education offered in my home country cannot be compared to that in Germany especially when you consider some of the modules and internships involved in the programme and the fact that a teaching experimental mine is at the disposal of whoever studies this programme at TU Freiberg. Also, the unpredictable nature of education in Nigeria does not guarantee the completion of this kind of programme in record time.

VO: Why not study this course in US, UK and other English speaking countries
ME: A key motivation for me is the level of flexibility of university programmes to meet the research needs of students as well as the affordable nature of education in Germany.
NB: Me and VO go back and forth about this question before we finally agree for this response sha o
If she asks any question that doesn’t carry Germany in it, she will ask you not to mention anything about Germany in your response as well. I no know how to explain the thing pass like this.

VO: What do you know about Germany?
As we reach this question, for my mind I say we die here[b][/b]

ME: Germany is located in the central-western part of Europe
Its capital and largest city is Berlin
Germany has a largely temperate seasonal climate with population of about 82,8 million people
Germany is the most populous member state of the European Union and the second most populous after Russia in Europe
Germany is one of the world’s largest technologically advanced economies and It is both the world's third-largest exporter and importer of goods
Being an eco-friendly nation, Germany is currently researching about ways to transition from mainstream energy sources to renewable energy such as solar and wind energy.
Then she cuts in and asked me to wait for her to type…

ME: Can I continue the story telling?

VO: Yes please go ahead

ME: Okay. Germany operates a federal, parliamentary and democratic/representative system of government where Frank-Walter Steinmeier is the president and head of state while Angela Merkel is the chancellor and head of government in Germany.
During the period of Allied occupation, two German states were founded: West Germany, formed from the American, British and French occupation zones which formed the federal republic of Germany and East Germany, formed from the Soviet occupation zone.
Which also formed German democratic republic
On October 3, 1990, the unification of…..

VO: It’s okay It’s okay It’s okay. You want to fill up my computer with what you know about Germany, I can already see you know about a lot embassy.
For my mind I come dey say aunty na you say make I fire down like caro nao.

Eventually we both laughed to her “You want to fill up my computer” comment and then she told me that’s all, we are through with the interview.

ME: Can I ask you a question please?

VO: The interview has ended nao what else do you want again?

ME: That form you asked me to read and sign which contains the blocked account confirmation details, does signing it invalidate provision of sponsorship letter?[i][/i]

VO: No it does not. You can forward us either your blocked account confirmation or the sponsorship letter. Anyone is fine.

ME: Thank you for satisfying my curiosity. Have a nice day
NB: VO didn’t even ask any information regarding the sponsor I mentioned I have in Munich

I made sure I asked that the last question because a lot of people have been coming here to say once you sign that form you can no longer use SL in place of BA. I doubt if any of such people ever asked their respective VOs this same question before arriving at that conclusion.
Well there you have it from the horse’s mouth – Signing that BA confirmation form does not invalidate SL in anyway. VO’s word, not mine.

Thanks alot for sharing

You should have opened your blocked account before now.

Just go open your blocked account and send the opening confirmation for now. You can fund it before or after your interview.

you can open a blocked account with any of these banks Fintiba.com or Xpatrio.com. Pick one of them.

You do things one after the other, once you get your admission letter God ahead and open a blocked account with Fintiba, Deutsche Bank or Xpario. After then you send email to the embassy as directed on the link sent to u earlier

I have someone who offered to sponsor me. He works in Germany. Do I still need to open an account please? Can you please give me information on what I need to do or what the person needs to do. Thanks.

All the best

Thanks for your prompt response. I don't have Proof of financial means (either scholarship of a federal German or EU organization, Verpflichtungserklärung, opening confirmation or blocking confirmation for a blocked account). Will I still be granted an interview date or I should get that first.

Hello, I'm new here so I apologize in advance if my question has been answered before.

I would like to know the process to obtain a student Visa to study in Germany. A friend of mine said I have to send an email requesting for an interview date and attaching my admission letter while I saw online that you have to fill an application form. Please can anyone please help me with steps on how to go about this. Thanks
