hey guys
interview done and dusted, 5th octbober.!

Arrived 5;30 and was the first person on the queue. Tough guy(paulinus) came around 6:13 and called us from the queue by 7am. just 3 students visa applicants (not too sure), one of us didnt keep to his instructions so he decided to keep us all on our toes . as usual i flowed with his pace and in the end he took my documents personally and even helped arranged them(i dont even know how it happened). but i i think he's not real;y a harsh or a difficult personality only that he wants you to follow his instructions and you good to go. so don't panic at all.

i was the first student to be interviewed. so i met this white german lady(late 30 or so), very friend,nice and cool. she took my documents and visa fee.did biometric verification and gave me a question paper to answer some questions;

1.name of school and course
2.why the course?
3.why Germany?,why not other english speaking countries
4.whose your sponsor and where he does he work
5.do you speak german, for how long?
6.course structure
7.do you intend to come back or stay...(You guys know the usual drill here)
8.do you have friends/family in germany? name them
9.have you been to germany
10.how have you been preparing for your studies

then she told me to pick up the phone lets have a talk

VO;you said you've been learning german for 5 months
me: yes ma
VO; so can you speak well and which means did you use to learn
me: at most A2 but i had to stop for two months due to my exams. i used youtube.
VO.; (smiled)very good. so why did you choose this course
me; sustainability is a mega trend, making valuable use of natural resources to optimize standard of leaving. nigeria is gradually buying into this idea and i will like to be among those who will contribute to the realization of this dream.(i just want to be brief)
VO; (smiled and nodded her head in affirmation). so tell me why you chosed germany
VO; Germany is a hub of technological excellence, they offer sound academic training in theory and most importantly practical which is more relevant to life(saw a big grin on her face, nodding in affirmation) and its tuition free so you can devote most of you time to study
VO: (impressed) thank you very much...so tell me what you know about germany
me: Germany dont need any introduction when it comes to automobile production.(this one registered very well and she started to chuckle in affirmation and thanked me too.) . they have a top class transportation system and a remarkable history in football,especially soccer(my favourite).
VO: (still recovering from the chuckle) thank you...who is the president/chancellor?
me: frank walter stienmier/ Angela markel (i was sure of the pronunciation not the spelling)
VO; thats right...that will be all for now,we'll contact you by email.
me: ok thank you very much...hunged up the phone

i was about leaving, then she called me back and asked(my heart skipped a bit here)
VO; how do you pronounce your surname...i pronounced it for her, but then she said ''no'' that she wants to try it herself. i let her try and after some funny trials, i helped her a bit and she finally got the pronunciation(with a grin on her face). she did the same for my middle name too.

she gave me a print out to cross check my passport data page and everything was in line.
VO: is everything correct
me: Yes ma
VO: ok you can go now and have a nice day. tchuss!
me: you too ma..tchuss!

i was leaving the security check point when i saw the other two student visa applicants just entering the security check point, around 8:50 or so, yet to have their interview. their cloths were soaked with sweat,probably resulting from the heat of the tough guy,Paulinus

i will remain grateful for meeting a good and cocky friend here,Yusuph lanre ! blessed be the day i first met you!
Thanks to this wonderful family too that gave all informations for free, all the way from part 2 where i started and to some of my favorite lazy newbies . i appreciate you all! we shall all smile together in the end

Stay tuned for the next success story


#CHEERS!

@olarenwaju92 hi Broooooo how many days does it takes the embassy to send you passport and docs back you after you have sent it to them via courier?

ochelayzie:
I am so sorry if I end up posting this as a reply or a quote...

I've been following this thread right from part2 since May 2016, and i must say i have really got all my questions answered just from reading every single page. This is my first post.

I got my admission for winter2016 SEMESTER at RWTH University Aachen last year. I was so excited, went for my visa appointment 5th July 2016, the visa interview went well.
Unfortunately when i was ready to fund my blocked account forex started going up, the more I struggled to fine money the higher it got. After exploring all other options to fund I ended up withdrawing my visa application to avoid any negative report on my file.

It was heart breaking to see all the hard work,time I invested during the application and visa process fade before my eyes. But I had to pick myself up and start preparing for winter2017.

TESTIMONY

Got admitted(Same school /course) = 13th June 2017
Appointment date = 24th August 2017
Funding = funded before my interview
Am mail = 21th September 2017

I will like to appreciate everyone that has ever answered questions, you are helping more people than you can ever imagine. And for those that couldt get vosa appointment for winter2017, don't give up!!!

I'm seriously Interested in Learning German, But I have been searching for schools, language centers or even Private lesson teachers in Akwa Ibom State that I can apply to, so far I have gotten none. A Copper friend once told me that there's a center for European Languages around Ibom Plaza in Uyo where one can learn German (Deutsch) as well, but I have searched for it and asked around as well, I can't find it.

Please anyone with any info on where to laern German (Deutsch) in Akwa Ibom State should share the information with me.

Thanks!

Have you checked your fintiba account online to know if the complete money has been credited? You can do that online. Shalom

Karch:

No worries then, it will still suffice. The reason I gave the VO mine was simply because she asked for my grade during my project defence. It's not a mandatory requirement so please don't get yourself bothered about it bro.

ritzyvic1:


Let me answer the first question, school documents can't be used as a biographical old document according to Mr paulinus. However, that requirement is not really of much importance from my own experience. But if you can lay hands on such, then do so. Better safe than sorry.

Karch:

Don't forget to take your uni transcripts just in case the VO requests for it.
