You've got a mail

Which mail

jawslyon:
I typed mine out and signed it. No issues with doing that.

Ok, I'm my time, it was emphasised.

Embassy motivation letter is it hand written or is it now typed?

jawslyon:
Hey guys, please I'm curious

After all the submission, interview and approval mail, do they send your passport stamped with the visa along with your documents using the prepaid courier envelope or they just send your original documents and you will wait for a mail from the consulate to come and collect your passport on a certain date?

Everything is sent back in the prepaid envelope

uptimum123:
I swear, things really needs to change.

Between, I thought you were already in Germany.

Yes, Am in Germany

@Hananiah, thanks for all u do bro. I sent mail on Monday for rescheduling and I got feedback yesterday that I have been reschedule to 12August . All things being equal my admission would be available then.

For me, the joy of knowing u are one leg in Germany already, go make u flex well this year. U have enough time to enjoy and plan your life, if you no get skill, 6 months is enough too to get one sharp IT skill.

Fefeeee:
I got to the consulate pretty early, around 6. Paulinius hadn’t started his shenanigans (He made a lady cry though). I went through the gate and was answered to first because I had printed out the checklist from the website, so everyone pretty much used my checklist. The arrangement was the original and one photocopy, you arrange the originals and the photocopies separately according to the checklist of the diplo site.


I think the person that conducted my interview was a newbie, she was laughing and smiling all through, a young lady.

She asked
1. Date of resumption
2. Uni and course
3. How I got admission to the course, because I was coming in from another field and the course is extremely competitive.
4. Definition of my course
5. Why did I pick Germany

Then all to my surprise, I was given an intensive written test, printed out, theory and German. Basic IT questions like the function of an operating system, different types of computer networks and also math questions. The whole interview took almost 1 hour 30 mins.

The lady was extremely friendly which helped a lot. She told me the processing was going to take about 10-15 working days.

Please which program are you going for? This test wey i hear now

Yea this is it. Thanks man

Guys please is their any embassy form to fill out or something?

I remember there was one we did where we filled out our personal details including family etc. Some pages thereabout.

I can't find it, don't know if is still asked cos this checklist only ask for declaration form. If you have the link, share it pls

uptimum123:
Congrats. Could you kindly share how your interview went.

Very important, don't know y d don't share this..

We are all blank here on what goes on there now.

My time it wasn't so, u can already predict how ur itinerary will be there and what to expect.

jawslyon:
My transfer was from Nigeria but didn't take long to reach them 24hrs for transfer and for verification of funds, the overall process plus rejection of the first source of funds document and the resubmission and the acceptance barely took 2 days.

I understand why they want to confirm and do thorough checks. We are sending high amounts of money from a high risk place where money laundering and such is prominent. Even if we are sending it from Germany, how did we get such amounts of money?

I understand that the process can be frustrating and anxiety inducing especially when your date is getting closer and closer but it is needed for due diligence. Even when doing Transfers from any bank in Nigeria, they ask for source of funds. They don't flag it cause they have your account history and details to verify on their end.

For the others reading and are not sure which blocked account provider to use, just make sure to remain calm, do your research well, plan for any setbacks so as to avoid being blindsided and reach out to the people on this platform for more information if you're still not sure. They have been really helpful for me trying to understand the whole visa process.

The boldened no apply. Just overdraft of 6k and credit card of 6k is over the required blocking amount.

If u say from Nigeria, I understand 20million is a big money

jawslyon:
I also had that problem but I was able to provide source of funds by combining the person's employment contract, work certificate and account statement highlighting all the funds that came in to make up the amount all in one pdf. Hope this helps.

How long did this verification process took for you?

Mehn aswear Fintiba is mad. For people planning on using them, factor in their delays in the name of verification fund.

I don't know why money sent from Germany to them would need verification, domestic transfer.

Wish I knew this before going to them, rubbish

Fefeeee:
was shocked also

When is your resumption and u going for which school?

Could you share your journey process here for others to learn from, especially the events at the embassy and questions asked.

Seyitej:
Yes, in fact I got rescheduled twice.

I mentioned to the embassy that I needed new AL, so I got 4th of March initially.

They now rescheduled me on their own to the 1st of July, I think because I mentioned it will be winter admission

Ok

Fefeeee:
10th february

Wow, so fast

Seyitej:
Hello, so I rescheduled my appointment to a later date

Why? Have u received new date?

Fefeeee:
I just got this email from the consulate

“Dear Sir,

With regard to your visa application, we kindly request that you submit the following documents to the Consulate.

Proof of incoming insurance that covers your stay in Germany for 180 days or statutory health insurance or private health insurance.

Please also indicate your intended travel dates in writing, keeping in mind that your departure should be scheduled no sooner than 10 days after the date you send us the documents.

Do not buy your ticket until you receive your passport with visa in it!

You may either forward them via courier service or drop them directly at the gate of the Consulate.

A print out of this mail is necessary in any case

We appreciate your prompt attention to this request.

Kind Regards”


Is this an AM mail?

When was your interview?

Fefeeee:
Am I meant to write a letter stating the date?

Just write on a plane sheet, "Intended date of travel is ........'""

MimiChikooo:
Good day everyone, please I have a serious problem. When I opened my Fintiba account I was asked to provide source of funds documents which I provided but they were rejected twice. My friend was the one who transferred the funds to my account and he provided his account statement which they rejected twice. Please anyone with an Idea of how the documents should be presented or how I should go about this should please help me out. My interview date is Monday.

Are you paying from Nigeria or Germany?

jawslyon:
I also had that problem but I was able to provide source of funds by combining the person's employment contract, work certificate and account statement highlighting all the funds that came in to make up the amount all in one pdf. Hope this helps.

The person sent the money from where? Nigeria or Germany?

Seyitej:
Got a date for 18th Feb 2025, Applied 17th February 2023

Please remember to share transcript of your interview process.

Many people are going for interview currently and getting AM but few are updating.

Me asking, is because this was what helped us in our time to navigate some issues starting with Paulinus Issues etc.

Interview questions and other events that took place starting from the hotel u stayed and how it was etc.

This can not be overemphasized

OluwaTofunmiiii:
Check Google for this the person you are asking is not in Nigeria, check for the embassy address and search of the hotel around.

Hope u read the question well before commenting. Clearly said "guys going for interview recently"

Hannania:
Its not fixed. They use the official exchange rate. So expect 118k. Just go with 130k cash and have same in your card just incase

U know suitable hotel around that area?

Guys going for interview, which hotel de ok and cost friendly that area

pineapplejuice:
It's the status of recognition of the University.
H+: Fully recognised
H+/-: Partially recognised (not all degrees from the University are recognised)
H-: Unrecognised, no degrees from the University are recognised

Okay thank you

Please how much is visa fee in naira now and what's the closest cost friendly hotel to the embassy?

Hannania:
There are two categories:

1. Skilled worker: If your degree is H+ on Anabin, and your degree is also on Anabin, all you need is your block account of 13092 euros of SL, and you'll get your Visa. No need for a language test. If it's not, you need to do ZAB. It cost 208 euros and takes 3 months

2. Unskilled workers: These are people whose Universities are not H+, their degree course is not certified, or have HND or vocational training. If you fall here, you need the language certificate of IELTS B1 or A1 German. You also need to get six points from the point system.

What do you mean by H+ bro

chiboy429:
I lost your contact, could you kindly give me a dm or reply to my email.

His date is on Tuesday 18.05.2025

He has time to fix it na, or possibly go with public uni.

Winter admission would be on by then

For the record, I understand the unreliable nature of embassy ADs, ordinarily I would advise people to reschedule their AD than stress of private universities.

Do u guys read their contracts before signing, those guys are damn strict for your money.

chiboy429:
Do you think rescheduling would be the best option now to buy some more time? Although on the admission letter, it is stated that he already paid his enrolment fee.

I think u DMed me bro, thought we had WhatsApp contact before.

I understand your situation, when is the appointment date?

Seyitej:
So I got a date for the 18th of February but I needed a new Admission Letter so I asked to be rescheduled to March to process one.

(FYI for people seeking private admission, I got an offer from BSBI yesterday, and I applied on Saturday the 8th, just need to pay the deposit of 2,000 to get my AL)

I got rescheduled to the 4th of March on Wednesday, but this evening I was rescheduled again to the 1st of July, just out of the blue with no reason

You can contact them to confirm your exact date of visa.

But I think is better for u than the problems of private university.

Few months to wait is better than their myriads of financial wahala

chambersbaby:
The new required updated on the checklist, for private university you have to show proof of 1 year tuition

Was this added newly, i saw it too within the week.
