Guys I seriously need some advice.

A friend of mine in paderborn told me how problematic paderborn ausländerborhorde is but don't believe I would have some problem.

I got some more questions from Nigeria embassy from the aliens office.

I need to know the motives and some tips on what to say. Though some questions here is personal and I know what to say. But seriously need your input.

I think I answered all this question during interview. But this one's coming straight from aliens office. Some question I think is unnecessary


with regards to your visa application, please be informed that the Aliens Authority of your future place of residence would like you to answer some additional questions:



1. During the interview, you stated that you are going to finance the stay in Germany on your own. Please specify how you will come up for the requested financial means.

2. Why would you like to deepen your German language first and then study in English language?

3. What advantages are you going to take for your personal future by studying in Germany?

Regards

Thanks everyone for keeping this thread alive. I must confess, I've had a swell time reading through all the infos, suggestions, and opinions of everyone. Good job guys.

I am looking forward to starting my Phd in Germany this year - specifically at the University Of Hamburg. Luckily, I got a Professor, who agreed to supervise my research. I later (around October last year) put in for a scholarship/research grant through DAAD. Few hours ago, I got a mail that my application has been turned down. So sad!

Not to feel bad, I have made up my mind to go ahead with the application self-sponsored (I can't afford to miss this opportunity of getting someone to supervise me, its priceless). Because, from my findings, tuition is free, I only have to pay semester contribution of about 300Euro then other living expenses which I think I can pull through considering the fact that I'm gainfully employed here in Nigeria and I'm due for a study leave with pay (meaning my salary would continue while I'm studying). There's also a huge possibility of getting a job (as research assistant or something related) over there while the programme is on. I also intend to apply for several funding opportunities during the course of the programme.

I intend to submit my application online over this weekend.

My questions are:

1. The cash I'm going to deposit into the blocked account, can it be withdrawn in full later? (Assuming I borrowed the cash into the account and I need to return asap).

2. Do you think its advisable I use my establishment as my sponsor? (Since I don't have anyone over there in Germany that can stand as a sponsor); I mean for the visa application.

3. Do german school/embassy accepts employee as sponsor?

4. Lastly, my babe is also planning to apply for her Masters. She has HND but currently running an online Top-up programme through a UK Uni (meaning to convert her HND to Bsc.) Does German school accepts either HND or the online stuff?

Thanks people. Sorry for the long essay. I say make I pour everything out once and for all.

Hello house, I have been asked by the German Embassy to come along with my passport and 3 months Travel Health Insurance. Want to use this opportunity to thank you all for your support most especially to Kelly4top or Kelly and some other people right from the old thread just before this new one who has been very supportive by giving useful pieces of advise right from when I was initially refused the visa and had my passport seized and sent to the fraud department of the Nigerian Immigration Service. Where grace abound, every other thing will definitely fall in place. Thanks to God Almighty who made this a reality as without Him we can do nothing. Its always good to know what we want and be very stubborn about our goals in life. I thank you all once more and I will continue to contribute to this thread to assist others coming from behind.

For the veterans in the house, how can I get a genuine but very affordable 3 months travel health insurance? Money no dey down so I need a pocket-friendly one. Thanks in anticipation.

@sekinatmi, why not write GRE/GMAT and apply to schools in U.S that will guarantee u full funding till ur PhD sef? coz this 1st class in stats going to Germany might not really be the best sis, menial job dey but...ermmm..that degree will work wonders in U.S wit ur 1st class.. if U have a high score in GMAT, ul be guaranteed full funding in many schools in U.S and take ur kids along instead of Germany..

Try go for post grad like Machine Learning(really needed in states now, av little programming experience) coz in states with ur background in stats(hope u know how to use Octave, R, Matlab), im sure ur life will change oo..and I can bet my $100 on it..but if its cash constraint still do GMAT/GRE, apply whenever u r in Germany or start from now from Naija..apply to U.S skls..ul get funding sis, and ur kids will assimilate easily..

U av banking experience also;that surely fits well with stats..Permanent Residence(PR) in beautiful English speaking countries should not be ruled out also..Sister do ur homework and u will smile looking back at this.


Always have at least a day in a week to browse the web, gather info, form ur own opinion, check forums, ask(but dont take all suggestion coz person wey dey advice sometimes their IQ level is not even average oo..lol)

Hope you look into this

@tossbal4real congrats to u,am trying to apply to Bremen for ma Msc program and I was told dat I needed a GPA of 2.5 is dis an equivalent to German grading system or a general grading system irrespective of ur country and please wud need some advice frm u as to how I need to go about d application and oda tins pls.

seun407: please gurus help out. Do I still need to provide IELTS/TOEFL since dey said English speaking counties are exempted.

nevilbot: I got that same mail that I should be patient with them and its exactly a week today, I'm fed up sef cus its affecting my plans

Numerouuuno: hi guys,
are M.Sc students allowed to stay in Germany for employment after the two years of the program has elapsed?
if yes, for how long?
also ,what is the equivalent of 2.5 GPA to the naijas 5.0 scale?

Eke40seven: There are different visa requirements for different countries and some times, those general information do not apply here in Nigeria. I will advise you forget all those, instead, Google German embassy in Nigeria for details. That's is the more reason why you should stick to this thread and study it like you are preparing for your final year exam.
Since you are new and would need a little 'spoon feeding', I will advise you stick to 'DAAD International students' and this thread. Read from 320 or even before and follow up what's trending now or you may find this whole thing confusing and may cone back here asking irrelevant questions.
Good luck!
