AD dropped, what a wait! Thank God.

Initially applied on 27th June used 1st Oct as Start of study date.

But as AD was rolling in on 26th July, I still didn't get a date, so I decided to take the bold step of cancelling my former application and rebooked on 26th July (midnight) using my enrollment deadline which is 15th Nov and today I got 9th Oct. Yippee.

AM alert!!!

I give all glory to God for guiding me to this path! Also, let me thank you, the ever-supportive Nairalanders. I learnt a lot through this forum.

Course: MSc IT Security Management
School: Arden University Berlin (through GISMA Business School Berlin)
Interview: 5th April
BA confirmation: 29th April (Re-sent with Visa application receipt number in May 17th. Still I didn't get any reply or acknowledgement )
AM: 29th July

TIMELINE (all within this year, 2019):
Jan 23 - Applied for the course
Feb 7 - WhatsApp video interview
Feb 13 - Received Admission Letter
Feb 19 - Received Enrolment Letter from the school addressed to the German Embassy, Lagos for Visa applications. This is upon the payment of €2,000.00 deposit. Balance of €10,000.00 to be paid instalmentaly throughout the course duration.

After this, I spent about 3 weeks almost everyday having sleepless nights (10:30 AM to 2:00 AM in average) clicking and refreshing on the Booking appointment page to get a date for the Visa Interview.

Finally...
April 3rd - About 11:17 PM, Got an interview appointment date for 5th April. Just 2 days interval! I was in panic mode...!!! Should I cancel or not cancel? How do I get all the documents ready? What of flight from South-South to Lagos and back? How do I prepare for the questions?

I posted my confusion on NL and guys encouraged me to go for the interview - nothing happen! grin Thanks aduku1, Armstrong34, tsmith1.

April 4th:
- I couldn't sleep after getting the appointment date, I woke my wife up and we started to arrange my documents and pack... The following morning was printing stuff and photcopying "up and dan" - Visa Application Form, CV, Declaration page, etc. Ha!...No, Primary School Certificate..! I ran to court to swear affidavit...just in case! Na there I parked my car and task force came to carry the car away. See stress! cry I spent the next 2 hours running up and down to recover the car. I pity my wife, she was running up and down to ensure I meet up with time. Lastly, went to do the passport photo. I couldn't remember the passport spec sef. I just told the guy, do the one for USA...! Wrong number!!!... I had to cough out N1000 to snap the correct one at the Park close to the Embassy that interview morning! It was there I also got the pre-paid Courier envelope.

It was almost time for the check-in at the airport. I rushed out of the shop where I was printing the passport photo. Wahala... my car refused to start oh! My wife, sharp woman, started to rebuke the devil and sharply arranged taxi to the Airport. I was lucky to get a seat in the only flight to Lagos for the day!

April 5th - INTERVIEW DAY!
- I got there around 6:05 AM or so.... So, this is the popular Mr. Paulinus!
As we were arranging the document, the man asked for Biodata of 5 years or earlier. I told him it was not in the Checklist. The man looked at me and said I was not serious. "Those other people that have, you want to tell me they don't know what they are doing? Why is your own list special?" I stood my ground oh... Mr. Paulinus saw the checklist I printed from the Embassy website. Na im the man cool down...Lol! But he later got me, when he saw that I didn't have photocopies of my Letter of Motivation. He just packed the documents I had arranged, use rubber band to hold them together and gave them back to me. "My friend get out of here! I can see you are not ready... Shebi you are Mr. Meticulous. So, you didn't see that you are to have 3 copies of all your documents... Don't tell me sorry. You have not offended me" grin. He gave me a small note where he wrote the time I should be back or lose my appointment. Guys, I hurried to the Park and made the photocopies oh. I think it was N100 per copy.

The interview went well and easier than I thought! I was interviewed by the sweet lady in dreadlocks. She is very smart but seemed to be patient with me. They were normal questions we've been seeing here. Don't let me bore you with those... But she told me I would have blocked before coming. I told her it was in process that I didn't know I would get the interview date so early.


THE LONG WAIT FOR AM...


On June 16th, when it was like 10 weeks after the interview, I called the Embassy. The lady that picked said, I should just forget it once I have done my interview. That I should wait for their email. Well, that sound hopeful wink! You don't receive email if your application is rejected, you simply receive your documents back! As at July 1st, the Alien Office in Berlin replied the email I sent to them that they don't have my records. Na so, I told myself, let me just shift my attention to other things I am doing. It is far from easy though!

So, it has taken 16 weeks and 3 days for the AM to come finally, finally!!! It was not easy waiting at all. But God made it to end in praise!!!

So my NL people, please don't give up. Those who are just waiting for AL, they will get it! The AD issue may seem all troubling, confusing, depressing and disconcerting, this too shall pass and you will get your date. And, your efforts will be crowned with the good news of your AM landing in your email! We go dey alright las las in this Germany waka! Thanks all!!!

Hello wonderful Nairalanders, I was at the German embassy yesterday for my interview. Yesterday was also my birthday and quite hectic for me hence my inability to drop my interview transcript.

I am on the road now travelling back to my base in Warri.

I had a fine interview and will drop details later today.

May God crown all our efforts with success. Amen

Shout out to those of us who got admission since May and booked for appointment in May. Yet no appointment date. I just want you all to know we shall achieve our dreams wherever we end up in the world. Stay strong! it is not easy to wait 3 months for an appointment date but we shall SURVIVE and achieve our dreams in the end.

Anyone interested in guidelines about Canada & Norway applications should send me a pm. Giving up on the German application is not an option but my friend, 3 months no be joke! time to apply elsewhere.

This is not your first time posting this kind message.

Please if u are tired and have given up, just leave silently na, is a per head race.

Am quoting u because I have seen similar repetitive post from u and is not healthy here, u can cause people loose focus and give in to despair.
Then, more importantly, the 2 countries u posted there are not easier than even the Germany u are running from.
I know the cost of the 2 is grossly bigger than German BA sef.
I believe in having a formidable plan B, which could include u re-strategizing even for Germany. Just today, people got appointment, even in Category B which gives credence to my testament that there's just something u have not acted well in.
Don't just sit in this perilous time and think is still status quo. Times have changed bro.

Good luck sir. *Please don't discourage people*
