TLD20:
I just received my second rejection letter from another Germany university This is devastating.
I wish I can also be added to any available Whatsapp group on admission matters so I can know what am probably not getting right.
Meanwhile I have three offer from UK already but can't process because of the huge fee.

Hey Guys,
This German VISA forum is a very important support group for everyone try to get a german visa in Nigeria. From what I can see it has helped so many people, and there are so many knowledgable people here. But the only limitation I have with this forum is the fact that one cant easily access keywords regarding certain problems.
I'm proposing that in as much as we have this group, we should also have a telegram group that one can easily search for chats with specific keywords.
Below is the telegram group link:
https://t(dot)me/nggervisa
Feel free to join and send the link to fellow aspirants and alumni of the visa process, we need their wisdom and guidance.
Thank you

The link doesnt want to come out fully so just scan the bar code to enter the link for search for NIGERIAN GERMAN STUDENT VISA ENQUIRIES on telegram, its a public group

But masters or bachelor degree is not showing on the appointment letter….you can use any admission for category B

Molly24:




That is what happens if you don't read well. Cat A and B has been explained consistently on this wonderful platform. Yes you are a victim but to laziness and incomplete research.

MrCadu:

Yes. Inbox me

okennamos:


Please, can someone use the category A to book an appointment for a category Visa application, since the Category A is treated as priority and appointments are issued faster on that one. Got an appointment date with a category A but I’m a category B applicant. I need to know if it will work at the embassy.

Lol..dem go just ban you from booking appointment

Hello!

I figured it might help someone if I shared my visa interview experience, so I hope this is useful. Please feel free to ask any questions that arise or make corrections as needed. For reference I applied using Category A, first class received from January 2019, although after March 31st 2022, this category can’t be used anymore. You’d have to have a first class certificate received from January 2020. I also got a sponsorship letter from a relative. I did NOT use a blocked account.

I applied for the interview online, pay close attention to the categories so you don’t make any mistakes. After submitting the application, I got a confirmation email some minutes later with my application number. I was given my appointment date and time in another email the day after. Please Note that you will need to print out the email with your appointment invitation, date and time.

Up until the interview date, which was about a month after my application, I spent time studying. Yes, studying. I was warned that the German visa interview process can be very detailed. I did not want to be caught unprepared. I’m happy I did.

I had my interview last week and honestly, if you’re not careful, it can be tedious. First of all, avoid everyone at the entrance and the digital centre as much as you can. They want to empty your pockets. Download the checklist and arrange your documents yourself, you don’t need assistance. If you’re sure of your passport picture size and quality, don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. You do not need a coloured copy of your checklist. See, just avoid anyone at the main entrance and head straight to the actual gate. Don’t be like me, if you have a small bag and phone, take it inside with you, you can turn it off and drop it in a locked safe for free!! Don’t pay 2k for a safe that does not even have a door abeg.

My appointment was for 10:00am, I got there at about 7:30. I don’t regret it. At the actual consulate, your time of arrival will be written on the printed appointment email and stamped by the security guard there. Please wear a mask. He’ll sanitize your hands and tell you to sit on the queue. Another man will ask you to arrange your documents according to their own list. He’ll staple them and hand them over to you.

PS: The DHL prepaid envelope is important, do NOT get it at the embassy, they will empty your account. Go to one of their head offices. It was N2550 when I did mine.

You’ll be directed inside after he’s done with you. He asks a few questions, (what are you here for, what category of visa {student/work}, what school…etc.). You’ll pass through a security check, smile at everyone abeg, they seem to be going through a lot, be courteous too.

I waited for a whileeee before I actually had my interview. It was done by one of the front desk officers. So please take a book or something to keep you busy, since you won’t have your phone. Anyway, they won’t have the most friendly disposition towards you, but don’t be nervous, raise your shoulders and speak with confidence. Here are the questions I was asked that I can remember.

What’s the purpose of your visa request?
What’s the name of your school?
Where is your school?
Have you been enrolled online (which apparently equates to have you started lectures)?
How will you be sponsoring your stay?
Why did you choose your course?
What do you plan to do with it after?
What does your relative do? How old is he/she? Where does he/she live?
They may also ask you random questions developed from your answer, eg, I studied history and international relations, I was asked whether I could speak French.

You’ll be asked to pay and the cross check a data form please actually look carefully as there was an error the first time with mine. It could cause issues if the data that was inputed by the consulate is incorrect.

Here are some tips to avoid wahala as well:
- Sign your Behlarung declaration forms and your application forms on the day of the interview. They stressed me a bit because I signed them on the days I filled them in.
- it’s really important that you answer confidently, no matter what. That’s why adequate preparation is advised. Over-prepare sef. HMU if you want a list of things I studied before I went.
- I repeat, avoid the digital centre and the vendors outside the gate. Avoid them o!
- Be honest with your answers, if you’re not fluent in Deutsch or if you don’t have a certificate, don’t say you can speak it abeg. Duolingo doesn’t count.
- Arrange your documents from home, staple the pictures onto your form, two photo copies of every original document is very important
- take extra passport pictures.
- hold about 40k in 1000 or 500 naira notes (2022)
- Be punctual, answer clearly and audibly. Ask them to repeat questions or speak clearly, this woman was really whispering to me through glass window �.

I think I’ll stop here, it’s a really long read. Open to answering questions and clarifying anything.

How can I contact you? If you don’t mind, can you share what your appointment letter for the category A visa looks like(crop out your personal info)? An agent booked an appointment for me within a day and it seems fishy.
