Dear Consular Officer,

Immigrant visa was approved in June but was unlucky in picking up Visa packet due to visa regression not until October when priority dates became current.

I received mail from embassy stating to resubmit medicals to authorize issuance visa.After that was done I received another call to come for finger printing.

I wish to find out why AM i requested to refinger print since my last is just six months old.Do finger prints expire? THANKS MAM

Dear sir,
I'm not too vast in that aspect of visa issuance, but one thing I can tell you is this, if you meet all the requirements, you will surely get your visa. Again, with all these factors you mentioned to your advantage, you have a better chance than someone who doesn't have them at all.
Now, how to you start?
It is pertinent that you make serious research on their requirements. cover every aspect of what they require and prepare thoroughly for the interview after gathering all the likely questions you may be asked.
..I will help you out in my little way on that path once I subscribe to my internet bundle.
God bless you.

i shall be very grateful if u do cos it will definitely go a long way and any other contributor shall be most welcomed.

@esdajo
I think you have nothing to loose by attempting to confirm if you have been banned. Amidst all these, they might not be obligated to tell you that you have been banned but I think they might be obliged to tell you if you make a request. Then you can make your next move like deferring your admission.

Yes you are right and I just finished typing the letter I will be sending to them by tomorrow and I asked them the whereabouts of my passport and the penalty my passport has attracted (if any).

kelly4top:


I am sorry to hear this news. You can see appeal is replied thru mail and not e-mail as I told you.

I am sorry to inform you again that you have no right to appeal again, to the Embassy the 2nd time but your next move is to appeal at the court in Berlin Germany and hire a lawyer here to represent you and they charge per hour ( i heard is about 40 euros per hour) and I can tell you to forget that Berlin appeal issue cos them dey delay die and Germany no dey use ear hear anything fake even if na person stamp am put for you.

So as I ADVISED BEFORE, try other countries as this guys might have placed your enemy on ban and they wont inform you. Make sure u forget that passport that has put your enemy into this shit and ensure you let your travel agent that did that rubbish know what it has caused you.

Can't write much now as am just coming back from work and need rest for tomoro church service but i insist you don't waste your precious time with the court in Berlin.

Oga Kelly, I am still waiting to hear from you. I am very sure you are back from church so advise us sir!

Hello peeps ! I have been a visitor on this thread since January ...though I have commented and asked questions in recent times and have also gained a lot...courtesy of all of the wonderful guys in the house eg Eke et al. My major turn off and challenge is sponsorship/money for block account. Please I need you guys to give me advice, assistance or and motivation on how to source this money or letter. I believe that their are people who had this challenges I'm having now but today they're studying in Germany. please I need your advice and motivations.
Thanks

Hey guys. I certified my documents at court of appeal, it only bore stamps and no emblem. Is this an issue?

I really don't get how this thread works anymore? Now, the question are selected before answer as opposed to before that you get an answer or at least a referral.

@XketchDesigns

U r too funny.......I didn't certify my documents.....but if am right....people that did, did so at the high court.....and I think it has to have an emblem.....some one once said in this forum that he demanded that there must have to be a seal or something and it was done for him at 200 per copy....others pls help out.......

@justcare

D Lord can provide.....ask Him then believe just start get every other things ready....one step at a time. Do not wait until you have the letter or blocked money just start and God will perfect the rest.....u will share your testimonies indeed.....Amen....

People don't want to answer questions that have been answered over and over again. Its frustrating. If you had read just 2-3 pages back, you would have seen Eke's post where he discussed on the issue.

esdajo:



Oga Kelly, I am still waiting to hear from you. I am very sure you are back from church so advise us sir!

First find out if you were banned or not before i can advise you on next step to take. The outcome will determine the best decision to take...so am waiting to hear from you.

A simple referral would suffice. Thanks anyway.

I went through is posts and all.i saw where he explained how to certify documents at the high Court, and the costs. Which is entirely different from what I asked. It is as a result of that post that I asked the question.



I said I have already sent my documents with just stamp in it as certification but no emblem. I will like to know if this will suffice?

Hoping anybody with experience, myabe they too have done this before and it wasn't an issue? Or should I go to high court certify with emblem and send again.

General question.
TOEFL or IELTS, which is easier?

I feel IELTS is easier in everything.....and you can get their material for just 4k....and can pass even without any material.....I have not written toefl so I can't say about the exam itself...but looking at what have been said in the past about agents dulling the process and the price....I will go for ielts....cheers

Like clandestine and Belly213 rightly pointed out, the first quote below lies just 2-3 pages back. My advise is that, you don't just visit the thread whenever you have a question, follow it bumper to boot because you might never tell......
As per people selecting questions, there are so many things involved as the forum does not have an automatic answering device neither do your pictures or biodata appear on the thread automatically. (I). people will answer the question they are very familiar with and sure about to a certain degree (ii) they will likely ignore questions that has just been answered over and again (iii) At this point, many resourceful peolple we had have left for studies and are just settling down in Germany while others are facing serious school work, while for some, this thread was a means towards achieving a goal which they have achieved and had long moved on. So, in essence, the number of contributors have depreciated very very significantly. That is why we must appreciate the ones that still visit. (iv) sometimes, its sheer luck, it just happens.
I myself have not find it any easier than you do getting answers to my question, trust me, sometimes, I had to politely bring it back with serious pleading. The last time, it was clandestine that raised the issue on my behalf and the answers started flooding in.
So in essence, calm down! nobody is persecuting you because your username is XketchDesigns.

Eke40seven:

At the Ikeja high court where I did mine, it bore a stamp saying "certified copy of original', the signature of the person certifying it and; a stamp bearing the emblem of the Lagos state coat of arm and not just a text stamp. and I made sure all the pages were stamped for multi paged documents since I was charged for it, because they left it out initially. I was charged N200 per copy
I was at the embassy yesterday, although I didn't see the format for stamping, they now charge N1,200.00 per set of documents as against before when it was free. Someone who stamped at the embassy can fill you in more.
Hope you find it useful
Good luck.

In the quote above, you can see the statement, " A STAMP BEARING the EMBLEM of the Lagos state COAT OF ARM and NOT just a TEXT STAMP"
Read between the lines and you will know it means that it is a STAMP which has a SYMBOL/SIGN and not just ONLY words.

So, if the one you have conforms to what is stated above, then I think you are good to go.

Please people in Germany how do you send money to Nigeria? apart from Western Union, is there any way you can send money by paying into a bank account in Nigeria? what are the charges like? thanks
Waiting for answers pleeeeeeeese

Pls how do they certifiy waec @ embassy ...tank u

Your answer is almost in the question sir.Go to the embassy in Lagos on between Monday and Wednesday by 7-11 am.Tell them at the gate you want to certify your documents.Please,it is very important that the sequence of your original documents is in sync with the sequence of arrangement of the copies you want to certify.....I am assuming it won't be just WAEC you want to certify and it's the German embassy you meant.Finally....I got wind that they now charge about 1200 naira for certifications.You could take along far more to be on the safe side.You r welcome sir/madam.

This question is for those already in Germany to answer plz and it's about extending the 3 months visa to a 2 year resident permit before d 3 months visa expires.

My last statement now brings me to d last and most important question.

A Nigeria guy I met here WO is a bsc student but married to a German told me I will still av to provided prove of fund for my second year to extend my permit for two years and considering wat my Turkish mate told me that she got a year extension cus her daad scholarship was for one year and she will av to go back after year one to show prov DAT she got it extended based on her performance before she gets permit for year two.

All these things dey rack my brains so plz all dos already in Germany who av experience in all des stuffs I tink we need to discuss this.

IELTS is 6k more expensive.
Anyways since I'll be taking GRE, and aiming to do well, I shouldn't have a problem with TOEFL I think.. As GRE analytical writing is harder than TOEFL.

Here are your answers.
1) if you came here with a blocked account, you will have to show proof of financial sustenance for another year again before your visa can be renewed. And its complicated changing it to a verpflich....... it can be done but i don't know how.

2) Yes you have to pay for conversion of your 3 months visa to a resident permit. i dont know how much because i didnt pay in my city and i was even lucky to collect a 50€ Gutschein....lol.

3) This 3rd way is relativ, some city accept it and some dont, if you have a contract that pays you about 650€ you can use that for visa renewal, but like i said not all city accepts this.

So be fast in doing this, because you have to book for an appointment which doesn't come easy.....no let your 3month expire for your hand before you go..........otherwise dem go send you back and dat na another GOBE You will have to return to Nigeria and apply for another Visa

So brother be wise ohh......lol

Welcome to Deutschland..........

Abeg peeps in Nigeria how true is this? http://www.tagesschau.de/nigeria-163.html

Was any German killed in Lagos or Ibadan?
Because the way the writer just composed this news he was not nice at all, really painted Nigeria to be very Dangerously place.

I studied chemical engineering, my CGPA is 2.66 on the German scale, anybody that can help with schools I can apply to for my MSc. And if there are other related courses I can apply for this summer.

Thank you

Obiwannn:
Good day everyone.... Particularly my ogas @ d top.
I just have one question... And yes, I go soon read the thread from beginning to the end, but I'm currently preparing for GRE...and combining that with NYSC is really difficult.

The question is what's the advantage of certifying one's documents at the german embassy instead of at a high Court...
And if I certify documents at the high Court, would it bear the below listed requirements?

1) a remark confirming the certified copy corresponds to the original?
2) the signature of person certifying the document
3) official seal and not simple stamp?

Thank you.

Have you done the certifications?

I got a mail from my sch today stating that I cannot be given further extension because enrollment for the winter semester is no longer possible. Is there any way I can convince my my school to still make room for me by giving me an extension? and is it a wise decision for me to delay a bit while I keep trying to convince my sch dat I have being granted the visa and all I need is the extension? kos I intend visiting the embassy on wednesday.
