Applied for family reunion visa on the 31st of December 2021 for my hubby and 3 kids.
13th January 2023 got mail for appointment date
9th February visa interview.
The V.O was so nice to my boys she even bought sweets and chocolate for them so that they can sit in one place. Note their interview was scheduled for 7am but they were at the embassy till past 2pm.
Got a mail that I should add 1500€ to the 14,100€ I blocked in my account.
Added the money same day and sent a mail to the embassy
No message from the embassy for 4 months so i decided to mail them.
June 16th a lawyer called my hubby that he was coming for verification
Lawyer started verification from Abuja on the 20th of June from my children’s former school, hospital etc
No news again from the embassy about the visa.
September 22nd I contacted the international office responsible for international students in my school contacted my faculty dean. Both wrote a mail to ABH they said they were waiting for my embassy.
Note during this period of waiting I feel sick with depression started therapy and I was advised by my doctor to take a semester off school because I couldn’t cope again. I wanted to travel back home but I knew I will never return back to Germany without my kids. My mom kept praying for me and encouraging me not to return.
The student International office contacted the embassy and the embassy said they needed a power of attorney from me so that they can act on my behalf.
I sent the letter immediately.
September another lawyer called my husband that he was looking for his church were he did his baptism.
October 12th the studentenwerk sent me a mail to vacate my apartment if my family does not arrive Germany before the end of October that other families too needs the accommodation and I was leaving alone for 1 year.
I forwarded the message to the student international office, the embassy and the ABH stating my frustration. ABH replied immediately that they are also waiting for the embassy.

The embassy replied us that we should give them one week that the lawyer would submit his report on a Wednesday
18th October verification completed
My hubby was asked to resubmit a spinsterhood affidavit and declaration of age because he signed it him self so the signature was different from his father’s own.

And my son was asked to submit any other document to show his year of birth because his news school wrote 2018 in their class register instead of 2019. Thank Hod I had his immunization card with me in Germany I send an express courier through Dhl on Friday evening by 520pm it got to Nigeria Saturday morning 9.15am and was delivered to the embassy on Monday morning.
Embassy informed me that my children’s visas were approved and has been sent to the alien office I should write them the expiate action. I wrote the ABH stating the urgency because of my accommodation..
25th October got an email from the embassy to send travel health insurance and date of travel.
Send it same day. Note I sent my children’s passport ahead without been asked
26th my hubby got a call from the embassy to come and collect the children’s passport or send someone since they can see that the kids will travel by weekend
I sent my cousin she arrived the embassy at 1pm she was not attended to because she was late. Collection closes by 12pm according to them
Next morning been 27th she went back but the Almighty at the gate said they don’t give passports with hand. This was 3 mins to 12 and by 12pm they stop picking calls at the embassy. I quickly called my husband to call the embassy luckily he was able to speak with them and she was given the passport.

Straight to the airport she sent the passports to Abuja and we collected it after 2 hours.
Kids traveled to Germany 28th October to the glory of God.

Note my husband’s visa is still pending because he was asked to submit A1
……

God uses some situation to bless you in disguise. It was a neighbour that reported that I have been leaving alone for the past one year while other families are looking for accommodation. I guessed they noticed because I am the alone black there. In all I give praise to God, the fight was not an easy one but God gave me victory.

A1 Zertifikat exam result is out for those who sat for it.

You want to know if his scholarship covers for the language requirement request?

kingsoncj:
Hello fam,

I had my interview 4 days ago at the German embassy, Lagos. I just received an email now requesting for A1 certificate. My husband is a daad scholar Germany.. anyone with this experience?

WOW...Congratulations anyway

You can cancel the appointment since its no longer needed so as to help free the appointment time for another applicant.

somto234567:
I got my appointment date today.

I Applied 21st of January,2022.

Unfortunately, I just paid my tuition fees for Uk. Today. So I don’t need it. And I won’t be able to give more feedback on my application.

Thanks for the Insight.

Considering the current Nigeria VISA situation and for someone that might be travelling around July, do you think A2 language level is okay for a start?..as that is possibly the most achievable between now and July.

Oye50:
It has been a while since I came here but then I have time today so I want to encourage you guys with a short story (my story of the German adventure). I started checking this thread in 2012 when I read almost from the beginning to the end. However, during those times I remember many people complained that those that travelled to Germany do not come back here to give updates on their life during and after their studies. I and many others made a commitment to come back once in a while to update those willing to take our path. I came back on this thread about two years ago when I got a job here in Germany to talk about it but here today, I would like to talk generally about my path in Germany. I hope this would not be too long and boring for you. My journey started in 2015, when I came to study Agricultural Economics (Masters program), without a scholarship, To tell you plainly, it is not easy as a self-funded student in Germany, although very doable. Many times I remember I go for a night shift and resume for another morning shift the following day so that I can pay my bills. Now, Imagine what it would be like now for students when prices are skyrocketing. That is why these days, I try to help students with scholarship information and that was the reason why I shared the video I quoted. Moving forward, I graduated with an above-average grade and immediately after I got my first interview, I thought life is so easy. The interview went excellently well but I never heard back from the company despite sending a few more messages. From that time, it took almost 6 months to get the next interview after paying for different professional CV editing services. Still no show. It took 1 year and a few months after I finished before I finally got a break. Mind you, many of my colleagues already left Germany for the US and many other places because their 18 months expired and for many other reasons. Fast forward to 2022, I applied for a permanent residence permit because once you have worked for 2 years after studying here you are entitled to it. After several bureaucracies, I got the permit. With the permit, the possibilities here are endless, you can even become self-employed. My advice for you when you are coming are:

1. PLEASE LEARN GERMAN LANGUAGE if you are really serious about coming here. I had 2 interviews in the past where I missed out at an advanced stage because I couldn't speak German then. It is better and cheaper to learn in Nigeria before coming to face the ever-moving life here.
2. Another piece of advice is please do not come here just because you want to leave the country, make sure you research about your course of study very well before coming here. Some programs are designed for you to go back to your country and develop it not to stay here. If you come for such a program, your chances of getting a job before 18 months are limited
3. Try to apply for scholarships if you can, it will make your life easier when you get here and your grades can be enhanced.
4. There are many opportunities for you here if you can associate yourself with the right group.

That's it. I am talking too much already and I apologize for that. I just realize that for me to also try to catch up since the last time I was here, there is a need to paint the whole picture. So guys, all the best

Finally

sholape1500:
Somebody that booked for appointment January 5th 2022 has gotten a date in March 2023. I guess they have started giving people in January. Thank God

Not sure but I'm aware that the passport will be requested for upon Approval Mail.

Pls when did you book and when did you get AD?

Kratos14:
Please what are the documents needed to be taken for an interview ?
Will all the documents be collected down and passport after the interview ?

I'm not sure exactly how but i know of someone who was interviewed haven't not blocked yet but was given timeline to block and submit details. I think you can just show your account opening document on the interview day.
They've recently denied some rescheduling requests as well due to short notice.

Did you book in Dec 2021 or Jan 2022 and when did you get AD pls?

QueenKaycee:
Hello people,

Please how can I reschedule my appointment date. It should be next month but I don't have the BA or SL so I want to move the date till I'm ready. Is this possible and how so?

Thanks all

In line with my observation on this thread, I don't think it is implicating as long as your admission is intact.
When did you apply?

To all, is it true that AD is mostly dished out on Fridays?

Divwake:
I booked for bachelor's appointment. Whereas I am going for Masters. Hope it won't be an issue?

Would like to know..
Was your AL for summer semester and did you differ or started courses online?

somto234567:
Thanks for the detailed post. I got my Admission Letter 21st of Jan 2022, and I applied for my interview date as well on that same date. I am in (Category B). Based on your report, I am hoping to get my Interview date-mail by the end of Jan 2023. The mistake I made was waiting till I got admission to apply for an interview date.

I haven't gotten any mail to re-register my appointment. I hope this doesn't mean my appointment is not valid.

and you did exams online right?
I'm aware the flexibility varies from school to school.

Also, is your regret for not learning the language from Nigeria with respect Job offers?

Mosunmadez:
Yes i did. I usually register for 1 or 2 courses because I had a full-time job in Nigeria.

Mosunmadez:
Hi everyone,

I am hoping I will be able to help some people with their questions on this thread based on my experience.

I got admission for summer semester in Jan 2021 and also applied for the visa under category B same day, I did my enrollment and my admission was intact. Exactly March 30, i got an email that my application had expired that i need to reapply by April 1st 2021.

I reapplied but did not get any invite and I also sent several emails which I did not get response to. Anyway, Jan ending 2022, i got an invite on a Friday and my interview was supposed to be on a Tuesday.

The race to block my account started on that Friday, thank God I already opened a sterling bank account before I got the invite. Monday morning I was at their head office in Lagos and I was told form-A is now online and I have to fill the form online, upload my documents and write a letter.

I noticed people are filling Form-a without going to the bank or sending email to their account officer to acknowledge that they made the request. It will not be processed if you don't let them know that you actually made the request.


I was not debited by my bank before the interview, so I didn't get block account documents but I went for the interview regardless. When I got in for the interview and I was asked about my block account by my interviewer and I explained my situation. I was not allowed to do the interview but she advised me to send an email immediately i get the documents with my reference number, passport number , my previous date and attach my block account documents in pdf format to it and request for another date.

I was given another date after 2weeks of sending the email.

So if you have gotten a date before and for whatever reasons you could not make it for your interview date or not allowed to be interviewed, send an email with all the above information and the documents that you need to present. 2 people I know got a new date like this.

After my interview i waited for 4weeks before getting approval Mail.

The process can be frustrating sometimes but be patient.

One mistake i made while waiting was not going to a language school in Nigeria.

Been in Germany for almost 5months now

Did you take courses online within that waiting period?

Is the issue the fact that you no longer have an admission in place? You should have reapplied if that's the case.

Oladeniaremu:
Pls I really need advice on this cos am in a tight corner.. I have appointment in 2 weeks time... My admission letter carries 2021 and the school refuse to renew the documents for me, cos they said the criteria they use for last year admission as been changed.. pls help me out. Thanks

How many months for senegal?

UPDATED2020:
I will advice your to go to neighboring countries for your permit process,but please steer clear from Ghana or Cotonou, because you have to wait 6months before you can use it to book appointment.

Ayomide002:
Hello, who stays in Aachen or Bonn or studies in either of the universities located in these cities?

A brother needs help

I have admission offer at Aachen. Do you as as well?

Please I need clarity on this. I have been offered admission for the winter semester of 2022.
It is stated on the website that AD will only be given at least after a year. Upon booking for AD, do input my original start date or do I pick a date later than 1yr since the application will be canceled after the study start date?

100Paul:
I blatantly disagree, Sir

Please, I need clarity regarding this..

1. Does this means one shouldn't bother applying for appointment in Nigeria?

2. How does someone get residence in cotounu without having relatives there?

3. How easy and how fast is getting an appointment date in cotounu?

Abover1:
We have hausa, yoruba and igbo in cotounu and yoruba language is common among cotounu people, If you are asked if you can't speak french, simply tell them no because you stayed among one of this for six months(hausa, igbo or yoruba). Your residence permit shows you had stayed for six months. It is has never been an issue in germany embassy.

Hello, I'm new to this thread on Nairaland.

I was recently offered admission into a school in Germany tuition free. I have a number of questions that i would appreciate answers to.

The 1year waiting time for appointment for a category B is a thing and i'd like to advised..
1. In a case where my admission cannot be deferred, what do i do as enrollment end on Oct. 31st and it seems classes are reverting back to physical?

2. Do I enroll, wait for whenever i'm given an appointment date and hope my admission is not reversed?

Hanzzyyy:
Exactly, people should check ONLINE and do proper research before giving opinions. How can Ausbindung appointment be 3 weeks from appointment application date?, No please!!!
