Complements of the season!
But fight just full everywhere...
Dolpaz and obiwannn hmmm...Hampy and the rest
.ok oo!



Have you called the alien office in charge of your documents in Germany? That should be your first task. Bombard them with calls and mails, because the embassy's hand will be tied if the alien office fails to respond in time.
The other area where you will now gear your actions towards will be on the side of your school. The best they can do for you now is to give you a letter of extension.

Once that is done, send it to the embassy. Forward the mail or attach the letter to be sent to them as a reply to the mail they sent to you requesting you to fund your account or just quote your reference number as the subject of the mail and inform the embassy of your extension so that they can have that update with them.

If that is done, then you are in safe hands, please, don't wait till january 6th biko, get the extension letter now!

The problem now though is that schools might be on break till 6th or 7th.....but just get to work!

Adexhat:
Hallo alles, compliment of the season to everyone. Please who has an idea of when embassy will be going on break and if or not they'll observe public holiday declared for next Monday, 28th?
Still waiting for the a.m. mail, enrollment date 6th of January 2016 (2weeks time). The Alien office has already sent approval for visa but embassy saying stories... confused about my enrollment date as October. They sent a mail yesterday not via d normal email (after interview) but via info@lagos.auswaertige-amt.de that i clarify the date issue, i replied Immediately yet no response since then.
I hope and pray it's not delayed by God's grace.

Anyone with similar issue as well?

Wishing everyone a lovely Christmas ahead.

Hi good afternoon. Pls I need your advice.

I have a school to apply for in Germany and the MSc programme is taught in English. The application am looking forward to is for 2017/2018 session, that means application starts in January-July 2016. Please I want to apply for DAAD scholarship, I cant find my course but among the general faculty it is under Engineering sciences. My course is Petroleum Engineering.

Please can I apply? If yes when does DAAD scholarship begins?
Also, I saw from the requirements that IELTS band 6 is required for English Structured courses, so no need for German A1.....etc? If I have DAAD, do i need that 8040 i. my account?
Lastly, is DAAD Development related fully funded......Please thanks in anticipation for your counsels......BBM ME @: 7EE69203

So, I went to the embassy at Abuja to open the blocked account, the form and a copy of my passport was stamped and a receipt was given to me.

I sent the complete form - signed and stamped, a copy of my admission letter and the stamped copy of my passport by courier service the same day and I was tracking it till it was delivered on 12th of this month, I sent deutsche bank a message yesterday and the reply was that the documents were not properly authenticated and should send it again

Please what could the problem be? Did I inquire too early? Cus I read it takes nothing less than a week(often longer) for them to finish the process and give you an account number and other information..I was hoping not all cases
Or is it that the embassy of Abuja isn't recognized?
Or my failure to send the receipt I received from the Embassy for the authentication?

Sorry friend, those people can be funny with their 'clueless' response. Well i really don't know about Abuja process but i will give the following advice IMO.
1. Fill another online enquiry to see if the response will change
2. If possible/feasible find your way to Lagos embassy to do a fresh one, since the bank said it wasn't authenticated correctly & you're not sure if going back to Abuja embassy will produce better result.
3. You can also forward their response to the embassy if sth can be done.

All the best!

OlaoChi:



Could it be because they already have an original with them before? You know from the last one you sent

Rayhut:

There is high possibility that they got the db form you sent to them via Nipost. I was lucky that my school extended my enrollment deadline, my visa is out, I will travel next week.

Rayhut:

Ok, that is new development from them, all of us here that was affected in August for not signing the last page of db form sent our forms again to them via courier, even on the message body that db sent to us it was stated clearly that we should sign the form send it to them via courier, scanning and e-mailing the form to your friend in Germany to send is new development, the problem you have in your form is it that you did not sign the last page or you did not tick a place where they write are you a citizen of US, because even Nigeria banks don't accept a scan signature in account opening form. Also I thought that you are contemplating whether to send a scan copy to your friend to send or to use a courier to send it. You suppose to have use one option and wait for the outcome instead using the two option at the same time.
congrat fund your account immediately, November is running fast.

Rayhut:

DB will not accept it, send the signed copy via courier to them.

OlaoChi:

I'm sorry I have no answer to this..as I have no experience with the db but I did this with one of the schools I applied for and they didn't complain

I just went to the embassy at Abuja today for the db account, I was surprised it was returned to me (only with official stamps on it) to send to the bank in Germany. . I thought with the 20€ the embassy would handle that. Pls is this normal?

The pig is even cheaper in aldi or lidl I think

sirkells:
It been God all the way. As at when I went for my Visa interview, I didn't have any hope of raising the money. Finally today the AM matter from the embassy arrived just after 48hrs of funding. Thanks to everyone who helped me. And for those still waiting, never Give Up. See you at the other end

Degovmob:


@Adexhat,you are good. Thanks a lot. More God's blessings upon you.

Degovmob:


I read those things as well. I am yet to apply,but the two professors have agreed to supervise me and the international offices,after checking my credentials and qualifications, have confirmed I am eligible to do PhD research in their Unis. I have been asked to apply formally by sending my credentials via courier service to their address.

Cindino20:
@Hampy,

Bros to be honest I would ve loved to ignore you but like the sayin goes,,na person friend dey tell am say e mouth dey smell...

Baba you ve nt handle this situation well....I tell you something, Sometimes we re faced with tough situations as young pple...our approach to things at that moment becomes the deciding factor.

I really dont know if things have changed but during my time you have to get to the embassy early..even if your interview is scheduled for 8am because you ve to been cleared and your documents checked..so you have to be there by7am or so, some persons get there by 5am man so you ve no case, by 7:45 you were late already so dont even go there claiming any right.

This thread has recorded abt 90% success rate ..Germany student visa is as easy as a,b,c ..get admitted, fund accoun,t go for interview, swallow some chill pills (waiting period) and boom visa ..If truely you wrote a letter to the UNHRC immediately after your interview that again is a no brainer bro..is this crack gettin to me or I find your story funny ..Like srxly you wrote a letter to the UNHCR,the Nigerian National assembly to complain poor treatment in a consulate for lateness abi dem nor gv u chair to sitdown..I guess your interviewer was nt sitting down too if you had to stand to do your interview...why nt politely ask for a seat there and then like pls can I get a sit or something...I m nt comfortable pls I need to sit my ass down ..you didnt..you went home to write a letter to UNHCR ..so when next you decide to write a letter complain abt hw our education sector is in rot hence the need for the exodus.

You see Eke07..that guy there advising you, I ve great respect for him you know why? is the way he keep his cool,IF i remember correctly last yr something went wrong with his sponsorship letter at the 11th hr..he didnt budge..he kept his cool and was encourgaing others..this year he has done his interview for over 2 mths and even when he had issues with his blocked account he kept his cool and till date he is still encouraging others ...thats the spirit of a successor..you dont achieve great things by playin the victims card..NEVER!

I hope your visa is granted in due time my broda but do us all some good by leaving some of these ***** at M.M intl airport in lagos..

all the best Man

Please who has sent money to db recently? What bank and branch is the easiest and cheapest? Thanks in advance

mostyg:


This problem is peculiar to almost everybody that submitted the application document on the 3rd of August, 2015. I received this mail today
" Dear Sirs,

thank you for sending us your account opening documents.

We regret your account cannot be opened because the documents are not completly filled. You did not sign

the "Depositor Information Sheet"

A signature on all marked positions at the documents is mandatory.
I got the same mail!

The actual valid form is available for free download on our website.

Please fill this writeable PDF document completely and exclusively by computer and sign it in all spaces
with the description "Signature of account holder" and "Acknowledgement of receipt by the depositor".

A confirmation from the German Embassy is not necessary.

All information can be found at
https://www.deutsche-bank.de/pfb/content/privatkunden/konto_international-students-en.html


Please send the account opening form in original by postal or courier service to our address".

After reading through the mail, I checked the form I submitted at the embassy. I remembered signing all the spaces marked with 'signature of account holder' at the embassy and I never saw anything like 'Acknowledgement of receipt by the depositor' on the form.

I put a call through the phone number on the DB website and was told I cannot be helped unless I fill and send the form as instructed in the mail. Feeling helpless, I downloaded another form. Alas, the form was different from the one I submitted at the embassy. There is a separate page titled 'Depositor Information Sheet' where the space to sign the 'Acknowledgement of receipt by the depositor' is.
Surprised, I checked the date I downloaded the one I submitted, it was on the 28th of July,2015. So I guessed the application form must have been changed in the first week of August as at the time I submitted the 'old one'.

The new form has four spaces where the account holder would have to sign unlike the 'old one' with just two spaces. In addition, you cannot fill the new form with ink/pen, it must be 'Type-filled'

I am now left with no choice than to send another form to DB but not through the embassy.

If you have sent your application with the old form and have not received notification from DB, I will advise you fill the new form and send to DB address ASAP.

sirkells:
Good morning everyone. Abeg my fellow 3rd of August 2015 account openers (hope my english correct) what is the way forward? I have sent mail severally to db but no response yet. Has anyone been able to get any explanation for the delay in the account numbers. Or has anyone contacted the embassy in lagos for info? Me i have called someone in Germany and he called the bank. They asked him to visit a branch close to him and give my details that they should have a better explanation. They even told him that its not suppose to take more than three weeks to send the numbers. Would brief you guys on their response when he gets there today.

With the way this trend is going, I see Germany taking over from UK, Canada and USA as the top most destination for international scholars in few years time. Assuming i knew about what Germany was offering earlier, by now i would have started my MSc, I was always focusing on UK alone which is even too expensive. Germany is the largest and the most important economy in the euro zone even better than UK, so also in terms of renewable development Germany leads the race and even USA is behind Germany.

Renewable energy at University of Oldenburg. They told me to submit an English proficiency letter from my university, that they were fine with that. so i didnt use ielts

pompey4:
Thanks Adexhat. Have u started your programme already?
