You will be doing yourself a lot of good if you can read few pages back.

Williamso:
Seems all gurus that used to be on this thread are on vacation

It has been said that education in Germany no be small thing, so its expected for most of them to be absent when school is on.
If you've taken your time to read pages back, you will know your question as been answered extensively from people from different cities.

Mwhile:
Good day guys, please how long does it take to get a confirmation for blocked account details? Awaiting info on this

Two to three weeks

Hello house, I just received the long awaited email after waiting for 6weeks.
All glory to God Almigthy there is no better way to start 2015, and a special thank you to everyone on this thread who helped one way or the other.
In my subsequent post will take time to share my experience (from missing winter opportunity till date)
#teamSummer#

DANNIEmore:
Its a good response from them bro. Listen, whether you had said the truth or lied about your previous application,I bet they know it themselves. I was also rejected in March last year after waiting 6 weeks though it was on the ground that * maintenance not ensured* . Actually used a sponsorship letter. However, my sponsor newly bought a house then in Stuttgart and was paying usual returns monthly alongside that she just divorced then. Had no choice than to find cash for blocked account, did another interview in November last year and just TODAY, was asked to come with 3 months travel insurance. ..All is really well that ends well.. in all, the earth's the Lord's and its fullness thereof...!!! Thanks to everyone here and God bless us all..Stay Positive always!!!

NB; That woman that replied your email, Letitia wolf, is same woman that interviewed you ok? The Asian looking woman..

Congrat bro

@esdajo
Please which email didi you send the mail to... Been trying to contact the embassy too.
But bros you get mind ooo, laying emphasis on the asian looking lady is like indiating her. Guess your mind is at rest now with the response

correctguy0900:
thank u for ur response. I can tell u dat my intentions r clean. in fact, my old babe who has been in d UK sent me invitation many times, didn't go coz all I want is to be in class once more. I just want to dedicate my next 3 years for studies and not coz I must b in Europe mentality.

plz, what is d interval for deir deducting 50 euros. because wen I first sent d cash in September, dey deducted which was clear from d onset. but last month December, dey did again and sent me papers which I couldn't fully comprehend. thanks

Really? Thought it was the 1st normal charges. You can write to them to query why your money was deducted.
Just be positive... I believe you will get the visa.

correctguy0900:
oh please, I am having dis problem. last year 2014 September I applied for a visa, but for almost 7 weeks, d foreign office delayed in giving d embassy dier reply, in d end, I had to withdraw d application myself before dey refuse me because d school gave me d final deadline dat dey said was not possible to extend.

also worse is dat d school doesn't v summer session and d admission can't b defiled to another session. everybody I knew dat were interviewed with me dat day got. was down but managed to quickly apply to another school for summer. dey said I should b patient for d admission letter dat I was selected.

why patiently waiting for d letter, d Deutsch Bank is gradually deducting my 8k euros in my blocked account. they v deducted almost 50 euros.

plz, should dey refuse me in dis last shot, where can I download d form for withdrawal of my cash.

again, since I withdrew d visa myself, do u think I should write in d visa application form dat I v never being refused visa before?

thank you so much. God bless u

Of course you have never been denied since you withdrew your application willingly. Deutsch bank isn't deducting your money gradually, the bank charges 50euros for their service. And why been negative? they wont refuse you once you have good and clear intention to study.

OlaoChi:
I intend submitting my application to uni-assist this week...but the schools have set their deadline to Jan 15th..do you think it's a good idea going on wit the application to this current semester or shifting the application to the coming Winter, considering before uni-assist processes the application it would have long passed Jan 15th

If you can use a fast courier service (max 3days) you are still on point. Once your application gets to uni-assist on or before Jan 15th you are okay, uni-assist will know how to sort it with the school.

marcyemi:
please well wisher. where can I print out the admission form from.

Sorry your question is kinda vague

@princetutu
Replied ur email and I didn't hear from you again. How is it going

princetutu:
yap and u? if yes, can we talk pls.

No shaking

XketchDesigns:
I just checked their website nothing like that, where did you get that news. Besides it says application has not yet opened.

Anyways, I meant when do they start offering admission not the closing date for applications. Thanks

Rhine-waal as joined uni-assist for real, I received this email from the school.
Dear applicant,

We are very sorry to have to inform you that your application for the 2014-2015 Winter Semester could not be processed on time.
This semester we unexpectedly received an overwhelming number of applications from abroad and found ourselves unable to individually process them all before the final enrolment deadline of November 15th.
Unfortunately, we cannot continue to enrol students for the current Winter Semester after this deadline.

In order to better address the large number of international applicants for our study programmes, the university has decided to work together with the application processing service Uni-Assist.
This means that if you decide to apply again to our university in the future, you will need to do so through Uni-Assist – but you will still receive official notification from the university directly.
You will find more information about the application procedure for the 2015 Summer Semester on our website (under “International Students”) by mid-December 2014.

Once again, we apologise for not being able to address your interest in studying at our university and we hope to able to welcome you in Kleve or Kamp-Lintfort in the future.

With kind regards,

International Office

Hi all. I still dey o..I no fit forget this house.

Pls check ur email... I need to contct you urgently.

i was at the embassy to certify my documents today, i met a chinese woman, she said she said she wont certify it unless she see my admission letter frm a german skool, i was trying to explain tins to her but she was adamant, i waited for some minutes and i latter show her my application forms, she stapled all the docs and certified the 3 set of docs. To my suprise i asked how much am i to pay she said am nt to pay any dine....but it is only d docs at d bk she certified, hope dat is sufficient?

That's how its done in German Embassy. Mind you she's not chinese, she's a chinese looking German woman.

madridista01:
also can one certify documents at the embassy for someone else. .or the owner of the documents must go himself? ??
also please read the other reply which I copied u
thank you!

1stly, its not a most the certification as to be in emblem, ordinarY stamp will do the magic (that's what I have been using and my appliction as never been rejected because of that).
2ndly, u can't certify in proxy.

atrapon:
Greetings...pls house am such a confused man...am applying 4 msc chemistry wit GP 3.65 buh D7 in English lang in waec,really dont if dat can really hamper my admission/visa.tank u & remain blessed

TO my best of knowledge, once you have English in another exam(neco or another waec) you can combine results and it won't hamper your chances of admission since its Msc you are applying for. Some uni won't even ask you to send your o'level and as for the embassy, what's more important to them is your motive of going to Germany.

P.S. Except in cases where there is stiff competition and admission is restricted.
*I stand to be corrected*

madridista01:
Bros hafa u naw?
y u just de enter Me this hot afternoon?
I read the reply then asked another question because some of my school application forms never come out yet and some of these schools de use online application and would only need the documents once you've scaled the initial application process.
I no wan go lagos twice...the money no go easy. I wan go once and for all..
now u get y I ased the second question?
so please try to give a possible suggestion to my problem and no just carry enter people any how just because u want to gain cheap popularity.

Bros going to Lagos in the 1st place to certify is a waste of time and money. From my personal experience,where you certify does not in anyway influence your chances of admission. In most schools, your cgpa contribute close to 40%, Motivation letter 30%, CV 20% and references (where it applies) 10%, to be admitted you need to have at least 70% (P.S. This value is not absolute, it might vary among schools).
My advice; Walk into any High Court closest to you, certify your documents, concentrate your energy on important things that will boost your chances of been admitted, send your application on time and pray & hope for the best.

cc: tayoslayer and all who can help

as regards document certification at the embassy, is this the right thing to do?
"going there with my originals and photocopies of the documents i intend to certify-in my case six copies each of the original, since i intend to apply to six different schools"
do i also need to go with the completely filled and signed application form of each school?(some schools' forms are not yet out)
and is the fee 1200naira per each set of document certified??
thanks

yeah... That's how to go about it. Without the signed application form the embassy won't certified for you and its 1200naira per each set of document.

naijadove:
This is not always the case in every uni in nigeria. I would advise you check your course registration slip. The units differ in some semesters. You can have 18, 21, 24 or 30. So depending on your course and uni you might end up with 180, 210 or 240. So confirm from your school.

My 2 cowries

Bros, I m sure of wht I said earlier, a semester in Nigeria is 30ECTS in Germany. I am not talking about Nigeria course unit which varies.

XketchDesigns:
^^^^ thanks man

please what is the ECTS we use in nigeria? is it 210 0r 240? thanks

Each semester in Nigeria is 30ECTS and since we spend 8semesters in all.... Its 240

XketchDesigns:
Hi guys, I used nipost, and yesterday makes it 1 month it has not yet reach uni assist. I had to use DHL in order to meet d deadline.
What is this registered mail you guys talking about cz, I want to send an application again. DHL too cost!

And abt conversion of cgpa, most schools ask for 2.5 German scale. Now for that dude that converted 2.86 how dd that give you 2.6?? Using the formula 3.5 on Nigerian scale gvs u 2.5 on german.

Just tell them at the post office you want to post using registered mail.
2.9 in Nigeria gives you 2.5 in Germany while 3.5 in Nigeria would give you 2.0 in Germany.

emerald14:
the visa fee was still 12,500 as of last week

thanks for the response

honourableseyi:
Phase 1 completed, activating phase 2 und 3 simultaneously. It has been God and my wonderful people here all along. Success awaits all of us in Jesus name.

Please do you have any insight to the question I pose above?

adenjnr:
Good Morning House,
Please, as anyone been to the embaSsy of late, how much is the visa fee? It was 12,500 the last time I was there. I believe it would have increase due to the recent free fall of the Naira.
Secondly, as the embassy changed the application form for long term visa? Its use to be application for residence permit but all I see on the site now is application for a national visa. Is the two actually the same? Thanks

Please still waiting for a response

@all..i am so sorry i have not been here,i feel guilty cos this thread helped me a whole lot but i have not been able to contribute my own quota here.
I will like to advice you all prospective applicants to RHINE-WAAL UNIVERSITY OF APPLIED SCIENCES to make sure they have all the requirments and also I repeat to try and get admission into some other universities in berlin,breme,frankfurt or liezpeq cos this Kleve na village o........nothing here,and so boring..I am planning to transfer to some other universities uptown in the next session....you cannot get a good job here.
But if you are someone that likes a very quite environment and live a triangle life i swill recommend this place for you...
But i will also advice you to apply here and transfer later,if you find it hard to get admission into some uptown universities...
LEARN GERMAN LANGUAGE O,SOME GERMANS DONT EVEN WANT TO TALK TO YOU ONCE YOU SPEAK ENGLISH,THEIR ENGLISH IS BAD SO THEY WONT WANT TO FALL THEMSELVES HAND...SO THEY IGNORE YOU....
i will be posting here every sundays of my experience here.....i am so occupied wwith class work,tests,and assignments.....i misseed alot of classses cos i came in late....one love people

Its good to read from you, it goes a long way. More of this will be appreciated.

stanogb:
hello house, i wish to apply to university of bonn. They require i send my transcript together with my particulars online. The problem is that my school does not issue transcripts to students. What do i do?

Try and read few pages back... This issue as been treated

Plz gurus in the a friend of mine as student visa interview dec 12 nd e wants to knw the likely interview questions to help him prepare well. Pls help a brother out.

igwejay:
why not use courier service like FedEx
at least, you will be guaranteed

Of course you can use courier service like FedEx and the rest if you have the money but if you don't have such amount, it is advisable you use Nipost registered Mail. It only time and price that differentiate Nipost registered mail and other courier services.

ogompaul:
I appreciate everyone in this thread for d selfless contributions. please houz, I posted my application using unregistered mail and I was advised that registered would've been better. Now I went to NIPOST to mail my application and I told them to register it for me buh they said that the mail won't be delivered to them, that the school will have to come to their office and get the application themselve. I'm confused now, I don't know which to do now. pls I need urgent assistance. Thanks nd One Love.

What nipost said is not true. I have used registered mail times without number (to UK and Germany) and they always deliver to the address I gave.
My advice ignore what nipost said and send your application using registered mail. Thats your best shot if you don't want your documents to get lost.

Lchimes:
Good morning Y'all pls I have. An issue with the german embassy and need help to get me out of it. I was recently rejected a student visa and the lady suggested I make an appeal to the consulate. Please can anyone help with advice on which is best to go about it; through email as the lady suggested or through a direct postage to the consulate. And I really need help how to go about it!
Thanks

On what grounds were you rejected? Was ur interview bad?
