Turkish airlines international flight ticket entails u to the following
1) two set of 23kg luggages
2) one hand luggage of 10kg.
3) Backpack or handbag of 5kg.

All bags will be weighed.

#Safe travels to you all!

Total of almost 60kg. Makes sense. Turkish airline should top my list then. What's your destination bro?. ... Frankfurt??

Chriswazo:
Wow, congrats Ayo

Immafrank:
1. There are doubts concerning your study intentions (SL & BA)
2. Your secured subsistence cost is not ensured in Germany (SL)
3. There are doubts regarding your secured subsistence cost in Germany (SL)

Also, it doesnt mean when you dont get your docs back in 2 weeks that somebody cant still be rejected, there are some cases of 2-3 months wait. Its all God's grace. if you receive your docs back 7-10 days after interview, that means embassy didnt even send your docs to the auslanderberhorde of your intented city.

REJECTION WONT BE OUR CASE IJN!!

Amen. Thanks

dolpaz:
Bro,

The reason most times is always the same.

"There are (serious) doubts concerning your intended purpose to travel for studies."

The mostly used the word "serious" especially when they are in extreme doubt, then they use the word serious. Like under performing at the interview, failure of the written test, amongst others

Ok... thanks

dolpaz:
No, they don't send emails, instead they return your original documents between 7-10 working days after your visa interview. That's if you're being denied.

Hello boss, please can you help state some of the reasons Visa applications are denied.


*****the way people just dey mention am recently dey make my heart pound anyhow ****

odimbannamdi:

I used their toilet

Good morning, Here is my transcript of my interview which held on 26th of July. I'll try to be as detailed as possible and state my observations and advice to those people that are yet to do theirs
First of all I want to appreciate the many others that posted their interview transcripts before now it helped a lot...... I also wanna thank Mane(don't know your nl username) for walking me through the process.

Lodged @bayland hotel (the mosquito for that hotel no be small thing) but it's quite ok for the price and their AC is quite chilling. Please try to get paper clips so you use to sort your documents , Original and 2 photocopies then you pur paper clip, makes things a lot easier. Sorted my documents the night before the interview. Then I noticed I forgot to print my appointment mail, I panicked, dashed out of the hotel at 9 PM in search of cyber cafe for over 1 hr, which was fruitless. Please if you manage to find yourself in such situation, don't fret. you'll see where to print around the embassy though @1k per page
Set my alarm to 3.30am, I finished preparing and set off for the embassy @5am. Everywhere was still dark but bikes and keke were moving. I was literally wandering around in search of the main bus stop, got a keke to bonny camp sha and I asked for directions to the embassy which I trekked to from bonny camp.
On my way to the embassy, saw one of those hustlers told him I wanted to print, I sorted that out before getting to the embassy. Long story short, paylinus arrived, time for arrangement of documents. Please note: there's no need for you to carry bag to the embassy..... a transparent or paper folder is enough. And also there's no need to be panicky, if you have your documents sorted and separated with paper clips you're good to go. I arranged my documents accordingly by following what paulinus was telling those whose turn were before me. So when it got to my turn , I did it sharpaly. The long waiting time got to my nerves when we got to the waiting room, as belle dey turn me na him piss dey worry me, the longer I waited the more uncomfortable I got. I decided to converse with those waiting with me, we made light jokes and stuff.... then we saw a guy come out of the interview room sweating!!!!!, lmao.... I was like today na today, then there was another man literally shouting in the interview room, we could hear him @the waiting room, then a girl came out and was like she wrote test, I was like testi kwa biko are you guys sure I'm in the right place, I'm here for Visa interview ooo not Post Jamb. Anyways it got to my turn , I was interviewed in room 2 by a dark skin elderly pretty woman.

She asked for my original documents, then gave me a list to check if my photocopies were arranged accordingly, I checked and told her it was arranged well.
She asked for my school name and many other basic details which I can not remember right now, then we did biometrics, paid Visa fee and signed on a document.
Have you been to Germany before?
Have you applied for Visa before?
Who is sponsoring you?
She saw my CAC certificate and asked what it is , I explained to her.
Have you funded?
I have done the transfer but fintiba is yet to send me confirmation. **so she gave me a paper and told me to write down an email address there and send the fintiba confirmation there when I receive it***
Do you speak German?
I speak a little German. I just finished my A1 classes a month ago at the goethe institute

Interview proper ***please note I may not state the questions in accordance to the way she asked****

Why Computer science? **this question actually threw me off balance lol, I wasn't expecting it to be the first though I had prepared for it, I paused for few seconds before I answered ***
My answer: This is because one of the most important aspect of CS is problem solving. Problems from different areas like business, science, engineering, healthcare and many more can be solved by a computer scientist. A computer scientist can create software and hardware to solve many problems. The ability to make life easier for people, help people connect faster(and I mumbled some words) is something I've always dreamt of as a teenager and something I'll love to spend the rest of my life doing.

What do you know about Germany ?
Federal republic of Germany is a country in west and central Europe. It is bordered by 9 countries(wanted to start listing them but I was too nervous so I skipped it). It has 16 constituent states, it's official language is German, official currency is euro. Capital is Berlin which is also the largest city. ***the she cut me short here , and said tell me about the economy ***?
Germany has the fourth largest economy in the world by nominal GDP and the fifth largest economy in the world but purchasing power parity. It is the world's third largest exporter and importer of goods. Its home to various big companies and industries like Audi, Bosch, Adidas, Allianz, BMW, Mercedes Benz ***I think she was saing something here, but I couldn't hear cos I was talking fast and trying to get all my points across *** . It exports products ranging from vehicles, transport equipment, basic metals, rubber and plastic, then I said transport equipment again ...... **she cut me short and said what about politics***
Germany is led by Chancellor Angela Merkel, she exercises her executive power through her cabinet. **the she cut me short again but I didn't hear her so I continued**. She was elected in 2005 and the name of her party is Christian Democratic union. ***at this point I felt she was impressed, cos she said something like nice, then said what about the president *** The name of the president is Frank Walter steimeier, he is invested with representative(not sure if that's what I said Lol, cos I was talking fast) responsibility and power. He was elected in 2017 and the name of his party is social democratic party. **the VO nod her head***
Why germany?
Germany is ranked among the top 15 schooling systems in the world . Its dual teaching system which combines theoretical learning and practical training produces graduate that are well equipped for work environments.
***then the VO said is that all****
It provides high quality education at almost no cost
It is safe country with low crime rates
It is a beautiful country with various sites and landscapes where one can relax and socialize during free time which helps create a balanced study life. *** then she nod her head, looking impressed ***

Why not Nigeria?
Here in Nigeria, it's more about theoretical learning and no practical training, which really won't help me.
I'll love to gain international exposure (then I mumbled some words)
The inconsistent academic calendar due to incessant strike action by academic and non academic staff .

Why not US/UK?
The are too expensive I cannot afford It.

What's the title of your project thesis?
I told her. Then she asked me to spell a particular word. I did. Then she asked me to explain that word.. at point I was nervous, I just mumbled words that came to my head.
What is your plan after study?
I plan to come back to Nigeria to start a company that creates software and provide digital solutions to....**then I mumbled some words*** **then she asked me to repeat it** I said what I said and stepped at solutions.

Do you have family or friends in Germany?
I have 2 friends that study in Germany. ***I actually have no friend in Germany, but my nerves gave me 2 friends at that point, lol***

When are you resuming ?
I said October 7, **** she raised up her head like is something wrong with this boy, cos on my admission letter, I'm supposed to resume by September. So I quickly clarified ***. I am supposed to be in Germany between 3rd and 26th of September for enrollment and lectures begin by 7th of October **then she nods her head***

The she said that's the end of the interview, don't forget to send your fintiba confirmation to the email address as soon as you get it. I wish you best of luck.

***at this point I didn't know what to say, I was like so interview don finish just like that, where is the test, I no go comot here if I no do test oo Lmao****
I probably said Thank you ma like 10 times before I left. Lol.

**** please note: most of my answers were not as smooth as stated above, I was very nervous, I talked fast and I tried to get all my points across and the VO was very patient with me, she didn't rush me****

That's all for now. Thanks.
See y'all in Germany

atungudo:
This was me Bro. Mr. Paulinus became an Angel this morning. He actually held on to my documents, told me to go round and check and ordered security to let me in anytime I come back. I bought another one immediately o. I'll post my transcript here soon. Today was a long day...a beautiful one. AM fall on us all soon.

Hahaha..... you're the one from akwa ibom..... that also lodge at bayland. I'm the guy in blue, with dreads. I was saying erny11 was the guy behind you on paulinus queue. Cos he was the one who used room 2 before me.

erny11:
So I had my interview today July 26, 2019. Got to the embassy by 5:30am. Was told to hang around and wait till 6.30am. We weren't attended to till about 6:30am. Our appointment printout was checked and stamped while we remained

Peace out!

Lol....bros we been dey together....... na you wear glasses nau..... the guy before you on the queue couldn't find his waec scratch card?....

My interview transcript is loading...... I just dey sleep like cow since I come back

Onaco:
INTERVIEW TRANSCRIPT
LOCAL MAN arrived the embassy at around 4:30 am and I was the 3rd person on queue but 2nd for student visa. Mr Paulinus I must say fit exactly into the descriptions I've been reading here.

I wouldn't want to bore you guys with the normal questions ( every other questions were normal), however,

1) the VO in room 3 didn't really give me enough time to express myself and say the things I know. Once she asked a question and I've been able to say 3 things she cuts me and moves to the next question. I felt bad sha.

2) just as I was about leaving, she called me back, opened my transcript and asked me to mention my 300l courses, ( I was like seriously, something I did since 2016?)? But I sha tried giving her some.

Every other questions were normal except for these two odd things.

Do they request for transcripts??

Fabcol:
Transcript is not a major requirement for visa application but if you want to go with it then you have to break the seal.. I went with mine.

Waec certificate is what they mean by secondary school certificate...so if u dont v that, go collect it ASAP

Background colour for the passport should be white... The size of the photograph should be 36mmx45mm. The height from top to bottom face should be between 32- 36mm.

Ok..... thanks bro

Hello Good morning house
Please I'm going for my interview this week I need help on some things. I made a photocopy of my transcript before it was sealed in an envelope by my school and that's what I've been using since, Can I make photocopies of that photocopy and take to the embassy Or I have to unseal the one in the envelope given to me by my school Cos on the list .....it is stated as one original and 2 photocopy. And also secondary school certificate was requested. ...... I didn't collect certificate in my secondary school , can my waec result suffice?.

And please is there any specific requirements for the passport photo to be submitted at the embassy (background color or size)

bjayNL:
There are two sides to it.
I got a blocking confirmation of 8,640. Now the thing has changed to 10,236 and they won't release a blocking confirmation less this amount. Even though in Nigeria it has not taken effect yet. Explaining that to Fintiba is another thing.

Anyway, its all about AD and my testimony is. On the way.

Wow......seriously?.... because I'm planning to fund my fintiba account today with 8640 euros and I have my interview this week. So you mean I won't get blocking confirmation if its not up to 10236 euros?

computaholicGoc:
Great school. living standards is normal. To be honest the work opportunities are limited as its a very small city. No tram. No ubahn. No s-bahn ..lol.. i don't mean to scare you or give you a fright. Grace differs and can stand you out, But in our field of Technology it doesn't matter where we see ourselves, what matters is where we see ourselves in the future. I am living testimony. I didnt study in a big city but i ended up in big cities. My advice to all:

1. concentrate on ur studies first as soon as u land. If possible finish your core courses before u start working your ass-off. I did same it paid off.I finished all my core courses in zwei semester. third semester i moved to bayern for my internship and also finished my research project there. fourth semester i switched to DHL hqtrs in bonn from Adidas Hqtrs in Bayern and there i wrote my thesis.
Fifth semester ! there was no fifth semester..lol.. By fifth semester i am already working professionally.

This is just to inspire someone that it doesn't cost'a thing to look at the brighter side of life. SmartWork will always pay off at the end.

The city you study in should not deter you from achieving your goals. I hope i have inspired someone this morning

Other trivial ones include:
2. Learn how to cook before coming here. You shall get tired of Pizza and Fries..lol.. If you can't cook. Youtube is your friend.

3. learn how to ride a car and bicycle. convert the license to german version before the end of six months. Don't do the same mistake I did. there are so much benefits when it comes to having one even biz-wise.

you can write me on goc.omenihu@gmail.com( for those trying to reach me. I really dont get the email from NL when someone wants to connect me. I wish i can rewrite the entire NL portal..lol.. )

Thanks for the detailed information. I really appreciate. I'll shoot you a mail for further guide from you. Thanks ���

computaholicGoc:
it's a nice city. Big enough to find what ever you are looking for as a student or professional. their semester ticket takes you round the state with other interesting cities like bonn, dortmund, etc surrounding the beautiful city.

i had good memories there! Köln should be the 4th biggest city in Germany. Possible internship/werkstudent destination could be UN, DHL headquarters located in Bonn. i will jump at any admission offer from Köln.

Hello bro, please how is paderborn like in terms of living standards and work opportunities. I got admitted to study MSC computer science there

Hello, if you've been admitted to paderborn university or you are currently there. I just created a group for us to share ideas and information, so we can settle down easily.

You can dm me for the WhatsApp group link. Danke

I just did... Paderborn students take style many this winter sha
