Hi. I booked category B student visa yesterday but I wasn't able to schedule an appointment because I wasn't given a link or a calendar to select appointment date and time (like they do with UK visa), I only got a mail which states 👇🏾

I decided to come to nairaland to seek answers (maybe I registered wrong?) but this your your comment makes me a lot more confused. Do they really mean the 1 year wait period literally?

Yes! 20 months waiting period if you are not a recent first class graduate, Phd Student or secured an EU scholarship! This is the German waka! Cheaper but very slow

Anybody using Expatrio who want to share invitation Code?

Kennie28:
Hello can you see you sent me an email but I can't find it in my inbox please can you resend it

Was Just a notification! So you can come online to Nairaland.com and see the info I left for you

Appointment Mail: 22nd March, 2024
Interview Date: 15th April 2024

Thank you very much for the Updates @Hannania and others...God bless you all!

Make I rest from my friend wahala 🤣

Hey guys, please is anybody here or knows anyone who booked for category B from 20th July - 24th July 2022?

We want information on those who will get appointment tomorrow so we know the progress and where they will stop.

Kennie28:
Please how long does it take uniassist to send your documents to the school. My school deadline is on 31st and I uploaded yesterday

Not necessarily! Deadline for the sch is same as for Uni-assist! So if you upload on the 31st you still meet the Deadline!

Once the Deadline is reached, Uni-assist will change the Status of the course to application not open! So Uni-assist will have some weeks after the Deadline to transmit all application for the particular course to the university for issuance of admission letter.

Good luck to you!

Bimpe20:




Hi! Have they sent your passport and documents back to you? If so, how long did it take?

If you read my messages I mentioned it not me directly! But it takes average of 2weeks above.

Abebi010:


Thank you. What email please and have you gotten your AM please ?

Berlin has the largest inhabitants...why cant you be Patient! Every email we send causes more workloads for the embassy!

MzChee:
Hello everyone, is it possible to switch from job seekers visa to student visa in Germany? Also is German entrepreneurial visa issued to Nigerians?

If you get admission and Enrolment you should be allowed. You can research more online on these things. Sites like 'makeitingermany' and 'i am an expat' have articles on them

Goodluck97:
Greetings everyone,

My appointment date is approaching in few months from now. How many months is it advisable to block the said account?...and how can I open a blocked account?..Thank you for your assistance!

My advice is to Block when you get appointment date. You can open online on Expatrio or Fintiba. However keep your funds in foreign currency due to Naira Fluktuation.

MzChee:
Good evening all, please is it possible for a family friend who is a Deutschland citizen (white) to do the SL for a Nigerian? Also is it possible if the person is in different state from where the Nigerian will school. I look forward to your responses. Thank you.

Anybody can do SL for you so long as they qualify and where they reside in Deutschland doesnt matter too. SL is used all over Germany

Hello everyone, I have a few questions I'd really appreciate some answers to.

Firstly, the stated dimensions for the passport photographs to be attached to the visa application are 35mm X 45mm. Is it okay if the passport is 40mm x 50mm which is an additional 5mm on each axis? Is this something they actually pay attention to or I'm just overthinking it?

Also, is it okay to staple one of the pictures to the form? They said not to use glue to attach the pictures, but a paper clip is the only other way I can think of that wouldn't make holes in the passport(assuming that's a requirement).

Finally, do they still request a WAEC scratch card at the interview? It's not listed on their site, but I've heard some old-timers mention that they needed to submit it. Anybody with a recently concluded interview willing to provide insight on that?

Thank you for taking the time to reply.

They will reshape the passport to the size. You can carry the passport seperately or use paper Clip! If you staple they will request additional piece of you passport.

Back then you submit scratch card alongside! Dont know about now...best wishes

ugo2much27:
Pls my SL is in process, can I attend the interview and promise to submit it soon?

They will give you 2 weeks to submit it!

@Hannania any Updates on where they stop this week with AD?

Seems no AD today?

Hi guys
Hi hanni
Guys i believe my ad will come tomorrow or nxt Friday I applied july 13th 2022
my school requires german language certificate but can be provided before the end of the first semester so its possible to provide the certificate while i am over there. Question is will the embassy make it a compulsory requirement for me? Or I should just explain to them i can get the certificate when i am over there?
Please answer me guys

Hey...Did you get a date?

Guys please let us know the Updates on date now🙏

Zebulun1:
Good afternoon I'm going for a second bsc and I wrote another neco with science subjects and enrolled for a course here in 9ja similar to the course I want to apply for so that I could use the transcript to apply to German schools. Would I still use the old neco certificate or the new one or both of them would be asked for??

Give them all...
