Please help a brother out.

Many thanks

Please do so now!!!!! But get your entension letter handy afterwards

Ojabostine505:
I love this explanation. Please do we need to add extra documents like study leave and recommendations letter to listed documents for interview. Thanks

Can be added to support your application but definitely not compulsory

glopatra:
I have been wondering why some people still get rejection after German visa interview (Considering the fact that Germany intentionally waved tuition to encourage international students). And these are the questions running through my mind. Elders in the house pls assist with answers to help us learn from thoes who have experienced these things before.


What are the exact information the VOs usually send to the Alien office?

Do they forward all your documents to the Alien office for further verification?

If your work experience as highlighted in your Cv is not really directly related to your chosen Msc program is it a problem ? And do the VO forward your submitted Cv to the Alien office?

And what are the possible rejection reasons people have received before.?

1. All information you give to them are sent to the alien office....interview and document info

2. Yes they forward all your documents for consent (99.9% of the time you are sure it was forwarded comes with an approval)
3. It may not be a problem but I advise you always twick it to ur course

3b. Yes they do.

99% of rejections I have seen so far will be to the following reasons
1. Course taught in German and no adequate German knowledge yet
2. Going for language courses alone(even people going for language course than proceeding to university, I always advise they do nd complete the language course here in nigeria before applying for visa)
3. Going for a different course than what u did in ur undergraduate( with no substantial and convincing reason said in ur interview nd Motivational letter)
4. Bad visa Interview or Bad Motivational letter
5. Sponsorship Letter (financial power of d person giving the sponsorship letter not adequate)

The remaining 1% I cannot fantom the reasons

bjayNL:
After 2 rejection mails, I got a AL from TUM sustainable resource management.

I've gotten the form for health insurance as TUM doesn't accept travel insurance.

I've opened blocked account with Fintiba and fully funded.

I've paid Student enrolment fee the 129.40

I applied for my Visa on Sat 10pm at night.

Got a reference code too to wait for 2 months

Now I'm looking at the website and they say no more AD.

Haaaa...

Any hope or a work around... What happens now?

When is your enrollment deadline

Eldeee:
Bros abeg no put fear for the guy body, Lol. The usual practice at Abuja embassy is they collect your passport after interview and return all your documents to you as opposed to what is done at the Lagos consulate. This has been the practice over the years as far as I have known.

As regards the stamping, it's normal if you travel to our West Africa neighbors with your passport, people who don't have to pay something to be given a pass. And moreover I don't think embassy will be is interested in such as its not schengen countries or some other high profile countries of the world.

Thanks for the info....but I do not think verifying stamp will put fear into anyone Sir.....my opinion doh...Thanks once again

MicroMo:
Just the normal Ghana togo, benin, Ivory Coast stamp... that was when I travelled by road last year to ivory coast, and yes they retained my passport

They want to verify those stamps..

MicroMo:
My interview transcript
Arrived at the embassy in abuja around 7am.
Friendly security men and staff.
I didn't know the woman waiting to interview me will be something else.

So fast forward to the interview

Immediately she saw my passport photograph with Red background, she change am for me o
That my application will be rejected. I sha begged her, and she said if it gets rejected, that I am on my own.
Pleaded with her to let me send another set of passports after the interview, she said no. And you know abuja na, before you even see where to snap passport, you go Don Waka taya, so I decided to just go ahead with the interview

She arranged my documents herself.

She checked my originals, and gave me back. But kept my international passport.

So the interview questions were the normal stuffs

1. What's your course of study
2. Why did you choose this course
3. Of what benefit will this course be to your career
4. What do you know about germany. I told her a lot about german economy, she then said I should say something about Germany politically
5. What do you intend to do after your studies?
6 who is sponsoring your studies?
7. Have you funded?
That's all.

Guys that woman in abuja isn't friendly.
I asked other people at the embassy, and they said the passport photographs doesn't matter that since they took my biometrics, i'm good.

Na God hand I dey so. God help me.

They retained your International passport?
Do you have any other country passport stamp on it?

Elisha111:
Am a Nigerian but I schooled in Ghana.i graduated with a cgpa of 2.8 of 4.0(70%).i have plans of doing my masters in Germany but I have some challenges
1 the agent said I can’t do my Master’s with my grades,that it’s too low.that I need to top up my grade with a 1year degree program
2 the amount the angent is charging me for processing is too high
3 I would love to do it myself but I have no ideal how to...

Please I will really appreciate it if you can help me with any link where I can get list of schools or if you have any school in mind that I can apply to . I read business management in school and i want to study international business management or project manager for masters.

You cgpa in German scale is 2.2(if what u stated above is ur Ghana cgpa scale) so u are way qualified as most schools in Germany requires 2.5 downwards...

Please still on the declaration of age issue:
This was how she wrote it;
"that at the time of his birth, his birth was duly registered, but his birth certificate got lost and all efforts made to trace same proved abortive, hence this sworn affidavit.

Please how best should this line be put?
Please @tommynaku ,@southhomiemob, guys please reply to this

That at the time of his birth it was not officially registered in the birth registry, hence this affidavit"

Who is deposing it for you, ur dad?

seungold1929:
Good morning guys, please I have some questions regarding the documents to take for interview:

1. Is the hand written motivation letter the same as the one I used to apply for admission at the university? Is there any format? How many copies?

2.should the visa application form and signed declaration form be hand filled or typed?

3. Should My certificates and transcript be certified? If yes can it be done by notary public? How many copies each?

4. What is the size of the passport photographs to take and what color should the background be?

5.can my mother's passport photograph be used for my declaration of age?

Thank you your response, may your knowledge never run dry.

1. You should make some adjustment to it, remember for the school you wrote on why u should be given admission but now u are writing on why you should be given visa to study in germany

For tips check. https://wanderwisdom.com/misc/How-to-Write-Your-Statement-of-Purpose-For-German-Student-Visa

2. Either handwritten or typed any one is permitted

3. For visa interview your certificates do not need to be certified, just submit the original and two photocopies of each

4. Requirements for passport
The photograph specifications for any short-term Schengen visa application are:
Two identical photos. Not older than six months.
Photo size: 35x45mm.
Background colour: White /light grey
Head should take 70-80% of the photo.
Brightly colored background. Light grey is suggested.No patterns.
The applicant should be looking straight at the camera.
Neutral face expression. No smile and mouth closed
Avoid uniforms or colors matching the background.

5. if you mother is the person disposing to the affidavit of declaration of age than u can include her passport on one side then urs on the other side(optional nd not compulsory)

chimax1:

After getting your AM, kindly print it out directly from the Mail, in order words, copy the mail to Microsoft, showing the receiver and the sender.

3. Put everything inside the envelope.

4. On the envelope write: From: your name or any other person's

Harrycul:
Hi Everyone, good morning.

To gurus in the house, I need your advise the below issues.

1. I have gotten my masters admission from Kiel University (Quantitative Finance, to resume 1st of October 2019) but I'm currently trying to raise the blocked account money of 8867 Euro as quick as possible. Pending when I fully raise the money, do you advise I go ahead submitting my visa application now due to how long the process, then before my interview date would have paid the blocked account money? Are there any negative implications to doing this?

2. What blocked account company is best to use, Coracle or Fintiba, bearing in mind that Coracle gives free travel insurance, do not request for health insurance payment till you get to Germany and do not deduct any monthly charges.

3. What is the best travel insurance you advise I utilize?

4. Trust I can obtain a birth certification from Lagos High court.

5. What's the best time to send in your student visa application? and which is the surest application route on going it?

6. When is the best time to apply for accommodation?

1. can go to the interview with just you block account opening confirmation and fund same after the interview its no problem.

2. Fintiba has also stood the test of time but though Coracle is upcoming as they just started their block account platform..still recommended though

3.Coracle as they offer free travel insurance in so far as you contract to be their customer for your health insurance when you get to Germany

4.No you cannot but instead you can do a declaration of age at the high court which is also accepted by the embassy whether or not you were born before of after 1992. Note it should be done by your head of your family i.e your father or mother and in the case where both are unavailable you can use you elder sibling(if you intend to use your elder sibling for the age declaration include a clause in the affidavit stating that he/she was present as at the time you were born or he/she was to by ur parent that u were born on.......

As soon as you get you admission, the embassy says you can apply 3months to your resumption but many people have applied even four to five months to their resumption which is even safer The only route is the german embassy in nigeria and also stages of education are okay e.g BSC, MSC, or PHD, the only one we wont advise is goingfor language school alone without admission added to it because we have seen many of such cases refused and most times referred to goethe(a german language school in nigeria) studies.

6.Imediately you get admission because spaces get filled fast especially in big cities e.g berlin u may have to even apply like 7months to your resumption date

Larrylrkay:
Good evening guys. Pls. I need an information from the senior men in the house. I want my wife to come for 2weeks visiting in DE, pleace, what are the procedures for visa application?

Goethe institut isn't open now

Graceville school of Language 75k Onipanu, Yaba,Lagos
Foursquare school 80k. Fadeyi, Yaba Lagos

dailydolar:
bros the mail is straight forward either you provide extention with the first school or present another admission with same school once you are changing school you must withdraw the first application then re apply with the new AL and pay another visa fee
Hope this helps

he said he didnt, shouldnt we believe him...sometimes embassy can also make mistake, they are not God. Haba

Justarandomguy:
Noo I havnt. I have just been waiting for AM since.
The only thing I know I had a problem with was my SL and it has been settled

If you have not sent them or the school anything as to change of institution, do not waste time send them a mail attaching this mail u were sent and explain to them that you have never had and will never any intention of changing institution.

It may likely be a mistake or something so act fast, if it is possible write a letter and send to the embassy also, if u dont get a reply to your mail

alaafyn:
Brothers and sisters, pls kindly provide me questions asked at the embassy for SL. This will help me to know what I'll ask my sponsor, make man no Bleep up.
