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.

Intellab:
How much? I have 2008, I want to swap.

U want to swab with who?

Seyitej:
@Hannania, please I was recently rescheduled to the 4th of March 2023 for my appointment but today I received another email that it has now been shifted to the 1st of July.

Is this because I'm seeking winter admission maybe? I've emailed them that March is an okay time for me sha

Can you throw light on this

NameNotBlank:
Do you know someone that booked April 2023 and have gotten AD? Cos mine is April 19th 2023 but no date yet. So are you sure of what you had written above?

Don't fret over it bro, i am sure she is just assuming or sth. I was surprised to see that too.

MolecularSponge:
My friend went for her interview in January, her block account was not confirm at that time. So he went with the payslip of the transaction. He showed Mr. Paulinus and he was cleared. However, the visa officer, refuse to interview him, because the block account was not ready. He pleaded that he will send it as soon as it is confirmed but didn’t work. The following day he got the block account confirmation and he send it to them.
Now, they´re asking him to re-apply.
Is he going to wait for two years again?

Mehn these guys are becoming very strict o

Oluwasegun87:
@Chrizwazo...have you gotten a date and when did you book?

My Testimony

Before I share this Testimony I would just like to thank God for his goodness and mercy. Some people said I was lucky but I believe it wasn't luck, it was just God. There is no god but God.

My journey started in 2023. I got accepted to study In Germany in privates schools but I canceled because my bsc diploma wasn't ready. It took my university 8 months to issue my bsc diploma after my graduation in September 2023.

Fast forward to April- may 2024, I applied to 5 public university in Germany but unfortunately no public university accepted him. Time was going so I couldn't keep apply to public university or next year (because I was in north cyprus and once you get you bsc diploma, you have to leave the country because you can't renew your residence permit) . So I decided to apply to BSBI. Fortunately bsbi accepted me even tho they knew that the difficulty in getting a german visa from Nigeria (literally the person in charge with my visa questions, told me that Nigeria was difficult tk get visa, that was the first time I knew that Nigeria was one year) I didn't know that Nigeria takes 1 year + to get appointment. And by this time I couldn't go back because I have already deposit and start to attend online classes. I was flabbagasted at this point.

Because I had a cgpa of 3.13 American grading, which translate to 1.9 - 2.1 german grading and 4.2 nigerian grading, i decided that I am at category b. So I opted to go to a different country that wasn't Nigeria. I applied for turkey but turkey rejected me(due to some foolish agent in north cyprus that didn't assist at all). I applied to south africa and went to south africa but got rejected because of no south afruca residence permit.

I was frustrated at this point and decided to try my luck and go fkr Cat A(I couldn't go for Cat b because I am already a student and can't take chance waiting). Mind you all the above happened between june-september.

I applied for Cat A in November 2024 and got my appointment date in 2nd December. I decided that the only way for this appointment to go well is if I show proof that I was an first grade student (even tho technically I wasn't because first grade is from 4.5 - 5 cgpa in Nigerian scale) I decided tk message my school from north cyprus to send me a mail stating that i was a first grade student and that my cgpa of 3.13 was among the highest category. They did that(and this was what made the embassy accept me during the interview) this and also the fact that I am studying online and studying online makes the impression that I was a serious student.

Fast forward after the interview to january 2025. By this time i knew that Christmas caused some delays and new year, so I refrained from asking the embassy what is the status of my visa

A email was sent from the embassy in january 22 stating that i should provide a late arrival letter. I quickly messaged bsbi for that letter and constantly disturbed them till they sent it In january 27. That same january 27 I forward the letter to the embassy and still that same january 27 I got my AM and a mail stating that I have 1 day deadline january 28 to submit my passport and insurance (I couldn't let any lagos traffic stop me so I prepared to go early by 4 to the embassy, no be me lagos traffic go mess with)

I submitted the passport, Dr Walter incoming insurance and other necessary documents in january 28 2025

On january 31 2025, As I was eating epa and egusi soup, I got a call from the courier. And before he could finish saying "I am from ger..." I jumped up and went to collect my passport. My Passport had been stamped with the german visa.

We give God the glory. Anyone that is on this journey shouldn't give up. Remember "the tougher the battle, the sweeter the victory"✌️

Where u asked by the embassy to show BA for Ur tuition at the university?

Congratulations. I love your daring spirit and intelligent moves.

Welcome to Germany

Hannania:
10th of March 2023 got an appointment for Feb 25 today. Congratulations to all those who got AD

Same here, I can confirm for my ref...

Hope Appointment dates will drop today o

Flvmbo:
What’s their email address I can send this message to? I’ve sent emails to info@lago.diplo.de and I’ve not gotten any reply

U add ur BA or SL to the email?

Victoryokezie:
My testimony is loading

We are waiting, when was ur interview?

Flvmbo:
Apologies for that…

It was my degree certificate. I did not seen where it was requested for in the student checklist and at my appointment I was asked to prove I was in category A.

I had my transcript and thought that would be sufficient proof but I was denied.

See what u should do.

Write them email as MissNK suggested with title of submission of missing documents and explain to them you had appointment but couldn't proceed as your certificate was not with u since it was not on the checklist.

Explain your first class blaablaa and upload the documents. They will rebook u.

Flvmbo:
Please could you send the link for the appointment portal. I’m a category A student and my appointment date was 27th January but I was denied for incomplete documents. I’m looking for how to book another appointment very quickly because my school starts very soon.

U want information but not willing to share ur experience at the embassy yesterday.

Which document was missing etc?

This will go a long way .........

Petit08:
Please at Hanania, in case admission have not been issued before your interview date, is it possible for someone to use d admission given last year?

No falsify o, d verify the validity of admission letters of course

MissNK:
Sorry I can’t show you any email but he sent the block account confirmation on Friday and they responded today with a rescheduled date for tomorrow.

Good to hear

MissNK:
He wasn’t allowed to. He was asked to reapply and send an email to the embassy when he has the complete documents.
The advise was he could have sent an email to the embassy before the interview date and it would have been rescheduled so I’ll suggest you do the same.

Very painful.

Hannania:
They payout €992 for the student visa. You can withdraw the rest. Email your provider first before you do so. The embassy might also accept Nigerian proof in your name. Depends on who handles your case

U sabi this process wella. U just remind me of my time.

We chopped and digested the whole process, unfortunately these Genz no wan do anything for themselves, not even to research.

Guys we are doing this thread a great disservice if we are getting our ADs and going for appointments and refuses to share to others the transcript of ur journey at the embassy. This is for posterity and to guide others, as well prepare those in the waiting list 😀

chambersbaby:
11th February 2023

I guess u have ur AD Mail now. Congrats in advance

Hannania:
The embassy will ask for proof of payment, or blocking the one year tuition in a block account

But if you block the school fees money, how will one be able to withdraw it at once to pay the fees? We know this block account people pay out monthly

Hannania:
Congratulations 🎉👏. This is nice.

Please what's the requirements for blocking account if you are going with private institution that pays fees?

Hannania:
No it won't. Just explain well why you're changing in your motivational letter

So basically, one can even go for Bachelors admission even though he put in Masters at the appointment application.

In my time it was possible as well.

Mehn with this rush in dates, how do they expect people to apply for schools get admission letter and also block account all within a space of 3 weeks to appointment.

I think this development will automatically screen out many, hence the reason for faster dates, definitely majority are not meeting up
