Toluwase100:

Okay. Im expectant too. I booked yesterday at 4:30am

great, it will end in praise. giving up is not an option

Toluwase100:


I don't understand enrollment by proxy...
Btw... I have rebooked already with Nov as enrollment deadline

I simply mean sending your docs to your school for enrollment or enrollment online then Issueing you your enrollment certificate

Toluwase100:


Congrats.
When did you apply and with what start date/enrollment

I booked since July 8th until 3days ago I cancelled and re-booked using Nov 15th

Richmondoau:
Any hope for Oct 31 deadline without AD yet?

bro cancel and re-book but then plea with your school to extend your arrival date and ask for enrollment by proxy. I hope they will assist, they are aware.

AD just dropped, 17th Oct. please everyone join me to celebrate this. I feel like dancing but don't know how to dance.

mic01:
Hello Family.....I booked since July 11th using November 5 as my start date but I am yet to get AD. What baffles me now is that people that booked after me have gotten dates. Please is there anyone in my shoes here? I booked under CAT A. Dis German Hussle Don tire me I swear.

you see this German Waka, giving up is not an option. Remain focused and optimistic anytime, anyway it will end in praise. trust me, I am yet to get AD even BA but what I know is I won't spend January here in Nigeria but in Germany. #the_audacity_of-hope

OgbeniVan:
Bremen bound family, has anyone gotten accommodation from STW yet?
I’m still house hunting. If you have any links or leads, please kindly share with me

Fabcol:

[quote author=NathyBongos post=80607034][/quote]

thank you so much for your understanding. I am eagerly looking forward to that. See you in DE bro chhers

NathyBongos:
have u been given admission for Bremen? Wrote them mail and they said they will respond to application 6-8wks after application deadline. Very funny

that was exactly how they structured the mail they sent me I was instantly demoralized, I even shared the email here where the ogas here contributed but luckily for me within 48hours my status changed from formally approved to in progress by university of Bremen, my AL dropped about 2hours later

Good morning my beloved family, I hope we are all putting things in place towards this winter resumption. Well I want to use this medium to reassure us that no matter how the situation seems do not quit. Be rest assured that AL, AD, AM and visum will fall on us.

Please Bremen faithfuls let's connect and know how to arrange our ourselves especially the semester fees. Thanks, I wish you all the best

NathyBongos:
This days people don't really like helping people and I see the reasons why. I helped someone here that got AL but couldn't book for AD coz d passport he paid for in NIS Asaba wasn't ready for over a month.with my contact In Abuja they called Asaba and he got the P in less than 48hrs he couldn't even show appreciation. When things of such are done@least he was suppose to come to the forum and let the house know so when others have issues of such they can easily be helped...PM me but it will take u like two weeks to get your Passport.did mine last week will be ready by next week

I know you are talking about me nattybongos please I am very sorry, it wasn't because I forgot to show appreciation but because of the pressure of not getting AD, trying to get blocked account and paying semester fee in my school which is fast approaching deadline and trying to enrol for TOEFL. please don't look at it that way, I owe you some bottles of beer trust me boss, please accept my humble apology

Efisko1:


U dey joke

Are we not Nigerians?

davisoncrusoe:


I agree bro. We can have a chain prayer where each person/group prays for some minutes/hour and pass on to the next in the chain. We will have our ADs in Jesus name.

I think we should have a whatsapp group for it.

davisoncrusoe:
Hello Guys,

I know some of us are waiting for ADs, some have gone further to pay semester fees and block accounts. Abeg let us all come together and pray seriously that God will cause the consulate/embassy to release ADs that will fall between now and the 31st of August, 2019. I strongly believe that ADs will still be released.
I suggest we pray every minute of the day now not just for ourselves but for everyone expecting dates. Don't lose hope. This issue na small challenge for God.

you are making a point bro. the thing is giving me sleepless nights trust me

Alyoungie:
Hey Guys. I have a real issue right now. My main hope for an admission letter just went to ruins and I'm shaken. Its the University of Bremen. I applied for the Masters in Environmental Physics. It's non-restricted so I expected to get an AL because I have a Bsc in Physics degree. Now the rejection says I do not possess enough ECTS (less than 90) in Physics from my previous degree and that I can appeal the decision if they are wrong in less than one month. I want to believe the ECTS means the number of Credit points in Physics and from my calculation on my transcript, I have 110CP in Physics. Please, what does the ECTS mean and Please I would like to appeal it. Who has any idea about appealing and how likely is my appeal going to succeed.

This is unbelievable, I don't think your rejection was because of ects point, it should be more of your ml, I would like to see it.

Schrodinger22:
Good day house, I am really happy with the wealth of information on this thread and want to use this opportunity to start my process soon

I would like to state my profile and my intention, will be very glad if the gurus in the house can advice me accordingly.

I had my undergraduate in physics/electronics since 2011, working in a telecommunication company till this moment and want to pursue my MSc in telecommunication related course. My CGPA is a bit low 3.2/5.0.

Can anyone suggest a good school for MSc in telecommunication engineering, found one University of Bremen is it a nice school? I am funding myself and already saved the €9000. What are my chances in getting a direct masters program with my CGPA and is there still hope for winter admission or i wait till summer? Please, i need your advice.

I look forward to hearing from someone...

you are so welcome bro, immediately I saw your username I knew instantaneously you must have come across real physics (Quantum) or you are a physicist. which you confirmed by commenting that
you are a physicist. I am also a physicist.

Your cgpa isn't bad at all there are so many programs that would accept your grade. But then, you must back it up with compelling stellar motivation letter / statement of purpose and couple with your working experience you are good to go.

interesting enough I got admitted to the university of Bremen Germany for the MSc environmental physics program this winter. however, winter 19/20 door is 98% closed I would advise you gather your application checklist and target summer.

for the start daad.de/en or masterportal.com will be invaluable to you as as you about to start your application journey . through this webpage you will see several programs that suit your academic career interests . you can as well go through the various programs and take down their different requirements, should you find any information confusing or not detailed you shouldn't hesitate to mail the various course coordinators. don't be afraid to mail them as they are always friendly and willing to assist and provide further help.

start immediately, gather all the required documents. note that some courses requires you provide English language certificate if you don't have I prefer you write now , it won't only enable you apply for that particular course but also will give you more interesting programs to apply to. Again, some programs requires English language proficiency letter from your school in place of English test certificate,. it is your duty to mail the course coordinators to know if they accept the EPL.

As you progress you will get to know more and more about the whole interesting process . Don't forget to read previous parts of this threads because almost all the questions or challenges you would have have been solved in the preceding parts.

welcome onboard bro.

viel gluck.

Any update concerning AD for those of us that have already booked before the recent notification by the German embassy.
Well I want to say that in this Germany Waka, Giving up is not an option. So, we should refire....Any advice will be highly appreciated. Thanks.

MartinLawrenCe:


Lol... Well If people can book in May against September enrolment and not get an appointment because of category and someone booked in June and got date... This thing is just funny and stupid at the same time...
So it means some people can book in May next year again for winter and not get an appointment date...
Abeg anyone currently applying into other countries should pm me asap... I don't think they do category A or B in Canadian embassy etc.

God knows that if I go to Canada, I will join their army. If any german try nonsense for my side I go just category A or B hin head

Canada name long thing o or else you have another strategy. It's like they give quota for students annual intake if not I don't think they should be limit

HighPriest0:


This year's winter is something else... The number of applicants tripled

quite surprising

MartinLawrenCe:


People booked in May and are yet to get dates while some people booked in June and got dates. So what happens to those that booked since May without dates? Is May not early enough for booking an appointment...

I am just confused now trust me, are we to still hope or start rearranging ourselves for summer? if I can remember last winter wasn't like this, people still got dates even up to Aug

What is our fate now as we have booked already without date does the new development apply to us or sth?

DeutschMariano:
TRANSCRIPT ALERT!
So had my interview on the 10th (yesterday). Lodged at sappers Lodge inside bony cantonment, very nice, spacious and comfortable room. With a lounge by a mini beach too, somewhere to cool your head before your interview the next day
I had to set 2 alarms each on two of my phones, before my village people use me shine . By around 11pm, I remember say I no get WAEC scratch card.. Nsogbu! I quickly go online go buy am. I woke up by 4am, left the lodge by 5am, got to the embassy by 5:15. I went to print the scratch card I bought. Those guys for embassy use me shine. Collect 1k for my hand just to print on page document. Anyway, I see am as price wey I gats pay for my carelessness. Please triple check your documents to see if they're complete before the day of your interview o, unless you wan dash those guys money. I was the first at the embassy. Our appointment letters were stamped and signed on. Oga Paulinus came by few minutes past 6. I been no know say na him be the almighty oga Paulinus o.. Na the guy for my back tell me He started attending to us by 6:45. Attended to Schengen people first, before long term. He called the first 3 people, asked us to remove our documents and keep them on the chair. The 3rd was wasting time na so oga Paulinus change am for him o, tell my guy make e go for back of line. For my mind, this man na me and you today . He collected our passport, put the appointment letter inside, placed it on a desk, then took the 2 application forms and placed them side by side. Then he started calling other documents one after the other, 1 original and 2 photocopies. We were done within 5 minutes, na so oga Paulinus begin commend us o That we were the fastest since he started working there. For our 3 mind we dey feel like James bond Paulinus doesn't really have a problem, contrary to what I've been reading about him here, he's just too disciplined and expects your to be fast and smart. Do exactly what he asked you to do and do it fast enough and you won't have problems with him.
We were checked in and got to the visa section. I was interviewed by the fair lady in room 2. She was friendly.
She asked for my passport and application form.

Thanks. Looking forward to your feedback.

Good morning sire, I just made the enquiry and I found out the following results

1. You don't need NIN for passport renewal according to the NIS servicom

2. That you should go to the embassy of Nigeria in USA. There is one in Atlanta Georgia and Washington DC

Embassy of Nigeria

3519 International Court, NW

Washington, DC 20008.

That you should check which is close to you.

3. Visit the embassy of Nigeria webpage on http://www.nigeriaembassyusa.org/index.php?page=passports

you will see the necessary documentation required and fees for various categories of passport and payment options. Then you should follow suit with actions.

I hope this helps .

Cheers
