You are quite right about the difficulty in getting profesYou made the decision to integrate yourself into it.

Fast forward to
So what is my advice?
This is my story, I hope it motivates you to be strong.

Hallo
Thank you for sharing your story. Recently I saw myself slipping into depression, but I feel encouraged reading this.

Thank you.

I'm so heart broken right now
If someone had told me I will wear this kind of shoe one day I would have sworn for the person
I've not been myself since 4.30pm

Pls I need professional advice aside police pls help!

Am really sorry about this, I can't say I understand how you feel, but I pray that GOD will heal your family.

in my opinion,
Your daughter needs you now more than ever, she might be just 3years old but she knows something wrong has been done to her. We do not know how long this person has tried before he finally succeeded and also to what extent this person has threatened her.

Your baby may not be to express the Pain she feels except maybe the physical pains. Do not force her into speaking if she doesn't want to. You know your daughter and knows how she reacts to people and things around her. This person who did this might be her teacher, bus driver, gateman or even a student. Everyone is a suspect.
if trying the story telling doesn't work, try taking her to school casually if possible go through the way she normally goes to school and back see how she reacts to people you'll definitely get a clue as to who did this.

Keep all evidence even the tiniest one matters, take a video if you can.
And when you finally get the devil who did this "no matter who he/she is", make sure to burst his balls.

More importantly your daughter needs you because whatever happens, your daughter will always remember how you stood for/by her.
A child never forgets..

Later in the evening when hunger wan finish local man, I gat to rush out to Mc Donald. This cost 7.29euro.

Fellow Nigerian, 7.29€ on burger, pommes and 0.5L drinks is so much money if you are living on a budget.
I learnt not to buy drinks from Macdonald's as it's quite pricey (about 2€+ though some people say It tastes better). One litre of coke in the store is about 0.99 cents + pfand 0.25= 1.24€.
just ask for becher and ice, if you intend to sit in the lobby and have fun.

Landed in Leipzig Germany at about 5:40pm on Monday


Food is relatively cheap here, just find EutoShop in your city, everything there is €1. Plates I bought for €9 each the day before I found for €1 the next day. They have almost everything you can need besides winter jacket, shoes and the obviously expensive items.
Before you head to any store to shop, try to get to EutoShop and buy all you can find that you need. The other stores can be for things you can't find in the EutoShop.



Greetings from TU Ilmenau, the spirit of science.

Hallo,
Welcome to Deutschland.
Getting stuffs from the one euro shop is quite tricky. yeah everything is been sold for one euro but I'll advise you not to buy books from there. Actually books are quite cheaper in other shops(less than 50cent) compared to the one euro shop. I always use one Euro shop when I've combed the other shops. 50cents is about 150 you know.

Going as student you would be given a student category Visa with just 120days for work.

But as a Family Reunion, you can work full time.

It's better to go for a family reunion, while you are in Germany, then you can apply for studies.

But just that the waiting time for the family reunion, procedure and everything. One might think of using the option.

But trust me , it's better for the FAM reunion if you are patience enough

Seconded, but for the waiting time it depends on some factors, she might be lucky to get it within 3months or at most 9months . but no matter the waiting period, going through family reunion is the best.

fibe:
This info is a good one although a bit scary. How tough will courses like information and communication engineering Bsc be?

Hi,
I don't think you should be. Actually mine is MSc.
We just have to give out best.

Good bye to social life.

You can buzz me and I would send the exercises of last semester.

Class of 25 is now left 3.

use your teeth to count your tongue oh.

Note. If you good then this place is perfect. Cheap life ,cool environment...

Hallo,
I really agree with this, my first week was "turbulent". but the good thing is here in my uni I'm free to select whatever course I wish to, as long as I take 46ects mathematics and 24computer sci. So I hope to make maximum use of that freedom. Also most of my courses for this semester conduct oral examination.

I have a colleague who left Mitweida , he complained bitterly. This is someone who already got an MSc Mathematics from a university in the UK.
So I totally relate.

My wife was contacted 3 weeks ago that here document verification was done and that she should resubmit spinsterhood and change of name with the right names. She submitted it the next day. We are yet to get any feedback from the embassy. We have sent mails to the embassy but no response. Please how long should the remaining process take.

This very long wait is killing.

If the embassy is okay with the document she submitted, then they won't contact her anymore. rather they will contact the auslanderbehörde of the place where you reside who in turn will write you asking that you submit some documents.

OMOZ1:
I will be glad if you enlightening me more, even I checked the date for appointment, no date in May, it is possible to book appointment with acknowledgement of Application?.
This is the mail I received from Universitat Hamburg:

( This confirmation can be submitted to the responsible government authorities and application offices which issue visas and permits to enter the Federal Republic of Germany. Please take care of all necessary studentvisa formalities immediately so that, should you be accepted, you can enter Germany in time to commence studies. Processing your visa request can take up to 12 weeks: please do not wait for an acceptance letter. Apply immediately for an applicant visa (“Bewerbervisum”) so that you can enter Germany in time to start studying! You can find more information at: www.uni-hamburg.de/visa . Orientation events and course sign-ups take place early before start of term. Get a head start at Universität Hamburg with International Welcome Week! Get to know the University and other new students! www.uni-hamburg.de/welcome. If you have any questions, you can contact the Team Bewerbung und Zulassung (Team for Applications) using the contact form at www.uni-hamburg.de/zulassungsfragen . Sincerely, Ihr Team Bewerbung und Zulassung (Team for Applications) )

Please what are the requirements for booking students Visa Appointment?

But I like to do the interview by June.

Hallo,
I think the universität Hamburg sends the document when you've been accepted by the department . Also I think you should take note of the date the university will publish admission letter so that you can start now to scout for a date for the visa interview (few days after the proposed date for the publishing of admission letters ).
Remember that the universität Hamburg do not extend enrollment deadline though it can also be done by proxy, so they expect that you start everything regarding visa matters once the first document is sent.

Hi, I plan to go visit my boyfriend of 2 years for 2 weeks he is sponsoring everything and also a German native . Right now I am not doing anything cause I am studying German, How do i go about it I need tips on the interview and application

Hallo,
your best bet is to check the website of the German embassy . Remember that getting Am is solely dependent on your ability to convince the visa officer that you will be back after your visit.

Please is there nobody to update their status in other to encourage others? Am yet to hear from the embassy still hopeful. But has anyone gotten his or her visa since after lawyer visit and again I asked some people that got their visa and most of them did not get any verification complete mail so my question is does everybody get the mail before getting visa?

Hallo,
most of my colleagues got the verification complete email.its also at that point that they were asked for further documents.
sometimes the email goes like this,
"we have established your identity to be ******* born on ***** and married to ********. please kindly submit the following documents (name of documents and reason for request)
kindly submit to the undersigned.""

MidEastPrince:
Hello house, I have a question on behalf of my cousin.

His wife is presently studying in Germany and they'd like to apply for a family reunification visa. The issue is that he is presently a resident of another country. How will the lawyer go about the interview and subsequent investigation.

Thank you.

I think his best bet is to check the website of the German embassy in the country he's residing in. I believe the process of family reunification differs with respect to the country one is applying from.
I also think that verification is done because we don't have a good data base because if we do, the only thing that would be required is just an identification number which will show all information needed when imputed into the system.

Westahorf10:
Hello guys I have been following this for quite a while I swear the amount of resources here is unquantifiable...thanks guys ..
Pls I started doing my application few days ago am currently to university of hamburg but I hit my first challenge that after creating account they refused to send the registration link to my email

You mean the Stine application portal?

ayokunlemmy:
wow! What a great news bro. You fought it hard and you won my brother, your story really inspire me

1. Try to contact anyone to help you with your enrollment over there or

2. You should print the mail sent to you from the school and take it with your health insurance and passport to the embassy and explain
everything to them, try telling them every of your stories. They might stamp the VISA for you that same day.

Oga Paulinus may not allow him smell the embassy's gate not to talk of going in to explain to whoever is in charge of stamping.(He'll just be asked to drop it and leave).
I think his best bet is writing to the embassy via email, citing strong reasons and also request to collect his visum by hand.

evetyson:
I submitted it via their email. The date on it shows October 2018 when he went to renew his residence last year October because his old one was expiring that month and he was also going for unbefristet he was given a temporary permit extension till March 2019(friction certificate) which I submitted at the embassy when I went for interview and now his unbfriestet is out so that was my reason for writing the embassy to know if I could submit this current one which they replied yes. So I don't understand bearing date it was issued because the date there is October last year why he got it February 2019


My opinion,
your informing the embassy about your husband's change of status has no effect and wouldn't in my opinion compromise anything because the alien office will contact your husband at some point and he'll submit his current status also bear in mind that his unbefristet will bear the date it was issued.

I also think it'll be wise not to bombard the embassy with emails as regards the lawyer's coming at this early stage. Submit your husband's new status as its stated in the email you received.

All the best...

If you've submitted the document then you don't need to be bothered, the aliens office got all the information they need including when it was issued and when it was collected.

evetyson:
I wrote to the embassy on monday telling them that since 14th December no mail or lawyer and that when I did the interview I submitted my husband's temporary residence permit because his unbefristet was not ready but now it's ready that I want to know if I could submit his current status. Their reply was yes that I should submit his current status through there email. My question is can I submit without compromising the whole process because some people told me that it could delay the whole process that since I submitted his temporary permit it's not a problem because they will still ask him for it that I should not bother. Am confused

Hi babes.How far yours?are you in germany now?

You'll be in Germany soon dear, I know it feels terrible to wait for months. you'll get good news soon.

kingaaj:
No they did not.

Hallo,
If the embassy haven't sent you verification complete email, it means they ain't done verifying your wife..
I'll advise you to be more patient. they'll write to you soon.
I know the waiting period is terrible but be please patient.

The latest rejection is about my motivation essay....

I need to improve in my way of writing ML.

I need some tips...

I think you should also search for "DAAD's guidelines on writing motivation letter" on the internet.
it really helped me and I also think it'll be of help to you.

PS. I would have uploaded it here but unfortunately I don't have it anymore.

johndoefoo:
I school at HSHL, so you see why I’m asking...

Hallo,
In your words "I school at HSHL".
Brother Oder Sister how are we supposed to believe you when you haven't uploaded documents as proof? Same thing you've accused others of not doing.
(*,*) I'm not asking you to upload any tho .....

I'm just saying what do you need the proof for?
Z.B. we've seen cases where some persons got AM even without BA or SL and we've also seen recently where some got delayed even when he funded before interview, we've also seen cases of rejection after funding.
Have we not also seen cases where the person who had a smooth visa interview get rejected and one who effed up in his visa interview got visa within a short period?

My point is this we're on this forum to give/get advise also hoping and praying at the same time that we get a positive response when we apply what we get from here.

we should stop asking for proofs, it makes no sense.....if anyone decides to become a liar so that he/she can trend ; nah for im own pocket.

Ellacity:
I dont know why you chose to revert my name and now forming big.... Anyways, now I know and I wish you the very best....

Who is this one?

CallmeFather:
Yes I am new here and I know my username looks creepy but I find it funny. I saw someone with "illuminati" as a username. Now that's creepy.

Most importantly, thank you for replying me and helping with a good piece of advise and details, I really do appreciate and yes my comment looked rude but I honestly had no bad intentions. It just hurt when someone decides to share false details to people just like that. I will work on that and reply as friendly as I can although I meant no harm.

Once again, thank you very much and God shall always bless you.

Hallo,
What exactly do we define as false details?
I will like to start by saying that just because something is not common does not mean it's false. I've been following this thread from part 3 and I've seen alot of unique situations.
What if I told you that three weeks ago someone I know got AM two days after interview (student visa and BA funded before interview)?
What if I also tell you that a colleague got AM two months after interview (Family Reunion Visa; verification and visa stamped and returned) whereas another spent close to 6months?

you may consider it as false because I don't think we've seen such here.

Let's not be too quick to judge. And don't forget there's something called GRACE

ifyalways:
No such luck yet.

I think they're just enriching the agents. Whatever reason they have for locking the dates is frankly meaningless. They should keep everything open or just lock it up so people can look for alternatives, other countries. It's midnight where I am now and I have been checking this every twenty minutes for
the past four hours. The couple's wards in Nigeria checked all night in Nigeria. The sleep deprivation and all.

So what happens to people that will need to apply as a couple or family with some share a documents like marriage certificate and bank statements? How will they be able to get same date?

All such rubbish only works in Naija. The Government don't care, the citizens accept everything.

please, I beg to disagree with this *enriching agents*. Have you thought of what would happen if all date are let open at once?
Also if a family or couple needs an interview date, one parent/ adult should first get a date and then write to the embassy requesting to be allowed to come together for the interview.
Different interview dates means different file/application number and thus the embassy would be willing to grant the request because I think it'll make their work easier.

dany5:
I submitted all that during my interview.My hubby has a permanent residence permit.He was contacted 2 weeks after my interview and had submitted all that is required of him at the foreign office.He was told they had given their pre approval.I m still waiting on embassey cos the lawyer is through but i have not received the verification completed mail....

I think you should write to the embassy. Sometimes, the delay is mostly from the home office where your husband resides. Your hubby might have gotten a letter from the home office stating that they have gotten back to the consulate general in Lagos, but they are quite smart to also let you know that the decision of visa approval or rejection is not theirs to take so as to shift the blame.
in my opinion, if you decide to write to them which I think is the best thing to do, remember to state your file number, when you had the interview also stating that your hubby has done the needful by submitting all required documents.

hadassaheke:
That's not true dear. You can attend the classes elsewhere, register for the exam at Goethe and get the certificate there.

Please the poster is talking about A2-C1 and not start Deutsch 1. start deutsch one classes can be taken anywhere and then you come to Goethe for the exams. whereas the certificate of participation for the classes is given only in Goethe f and only if you attend the classes in Goethe. you cant take a class in unilag and expect uniabuja to give you certificate of participation.
vielen dank

prince57:
All i need is Goethe Institute A2 - C1 cert. I have A1 already. I got that from goethe institute in GH. I want to finish it up here in Nigeria. Please, which other location do u know apart from the one at CMS??

The certificate is only issued in Goethe meaning you have to attend the classes in Goethe before you can be issued a certificate.
also please note that Goethe Lagos located at CMS will be closed through out august Nd will resume by September and that's when registration will commence. Also if you don't register within the dates stipulated on their website, you'd have to wait till next year. the earlier you register, the earlier your journey begins as you require 12 months to round up a2-c1.

[color=#006600][/color]good evening frnds,Please i have a question here that is bordering me. i got msc admission in june and booked appointment immimediatly,i was surprised to see 20 of sept as my appointment date while my enrollment deadline is 10th of september. but it was later extended till october 5th .the school advised me to authorize my brother in germany to enroll me while i process my visa.lectures are starting 1st of october,please how will this affect my visa processing,will it lead to automatic rejection ?also how long does student visa processing take when applying with sponsorship letter?please i need your answers as these are bordering me too much.

I'll advise that you go ahead and ask your brother to go ahead with the enrollment for you. hopefully before you go for your interview your brother would have done the enrollment to a great extent.

Good evening guys,

I heard the application form and questionaire for family reunion has changed(since may/june 2018).Can anyone please assist me with the recent one.I will also like to know the questions to expect from the embassey and the order for submitting documents.

Thanks guys.

I really don't think the application form has changed, that's because immediately I saw this I had to redownload to confirm and I never noticed any changes. Also regarding what to expect, youd just have to convince the vo that you are married and by so doing, you have to know the tiniest details of your husband including how much he earns.

Lalaski001:
How sure are you about this??

are you sure those guys that were giving test are going for MSC?..
How did you know they were giving test? Apart from the one you mentioned that said he was going for international management, did the other 2 persons tell you personal that they gave them test too or you just assumed so because of the time they spent.
From all the transcripts I have seen here since summer, nobody has mentioned anything about test.

For you to now have 3 persons going for Msc. doing tests in a particular day doesn't sound too correct.

are you going for Msc too??

Alright , I guess there's no point trying to convince anyone that test was written. I'd still say you can keep doubting, because your mind have been conditioned and decide to go for your interview without being prepared.
I wouldn't try to convince you, and you can choose not to believe.

chrisb2r200:
Personally were u given test? ...the guy must have lied to you that he is going for masters
Besides of all the people I knw that went last week or so, no one mentioned they had test

l ain't a master's student neither am I going for further studies. Also note that this happened on Friday. if you still feel three persons lied about what they were going for, that's your problem. you can decide to condition your mind and go for your interview without being prepared.

chrisb2r200:
Personally were u given test? ...the guy must have lied to you that he is going for masters
Besides of all the people I knw that went last week or so, no one mentioned they had test

please am not a master's student, and also if one person had lied what about the other two? one even came out sweating profusely and shaking his head, he never expected it, and none stayed less than 45 mins with the VO. I'd advise that you go prepared, if you end up writing the test good and and if not still good also. just go prepared.
