Apply for winter semester admission then. By May 23rd, you may likely get admission and that may help. Use Daad.de as already stated to see a course you have interest in. All the best.

Good Day everyone, I humbly seek the attention of the professional educational consultants here to my case. I was studying in Ukraine, due to the invasion, i had to move to Germany. Now, the German authorities gave the third National until 23rd May to declare their purpose in Germany either as a student, researcher, intern or worker.

I have tried to navigate the possible admissions openings in schools here in Germany at least to legalize my stay as a student, all efforts has been futile, perhaps anyone have an information on any admissions or pathway opened, I will appreciate this.(P/S: I have a B.Sc. In Chemical Engineering and do not mind to start from language class, another B.Sc. or M.Sc..)Thanks

YOU ALL SHOULD COME TO MY RESCURE. I BELIEVE EVERYTHING IS POSSIBLE.

Deutschland Stipendium

oxyba:
Congratulations !!

I am curious, do you mind sharing the title of the scholarship you got.
TravelRe: General-german-student-visa-enquiries Part 8 by cmark11: 1:07pm On Oct 19, 2021
The scholarship is not fully funded that's why. So, the deficit I had to block


dex711:
Congrats bro, pls what do you mean by blocking deficit. Can you explain that part? I thought you only block an account when you are financing yourself.

Visa Interview Transcript
Date of Interview 24th August, 2021
Category A.
Date of Approval Mail: 26th August, 2021.

First, I must state that this is more like a testimony (of course I will give a detailed interview questions and answers as I can still remember) to the GLORY OF JESUS because it is very clear that I'm not more qualified than anyone here or there. Jesus showed me mercy and made my little work fruitful.

Yes...now, to the transcript proper...

I arrived the embassy quite early though my interview date was 9AM. I think that helped as I used that time to spend 8k for photocopy. Foolish me.. lol. Didn't check well to see that every document must be in TWO SET except where otherwise stated.

At the embassy, I met a guy I supposed is an Erasmus Mundus scholar. We waited together but then he first entered the ROOM 4 for the interview. And in about 20mins later he came out. It was now my turn to face the VO.

VO: Why are you here?
Me: visa application interview
VO: which category?
Me: Category A
VO: what qualified you for this category?
Me: scholarship
VO: pass me your award letter, passport and certificate.
Me: I did. (She checked it and asked, "how much is it?" I answered and she highlighted that part of the award letter. Then she went out to go and confirm it, I guess, and returned in few minutes).
VO: did you block your account?
Me: yes, I blocked the deficit.
VO: pass it on to me. (She did some checking and balancing and confirmed that everything was in order financially.
VO: lemme have your visa application fee
Me: I passed it.
VO: I will take your finger prints now
Me: okay (in my mind...wow na so ein dey be ?lol)

(She took every information and filled into the computer before here)

After about 15mins,

VO: let's now start the interview... please be quick in answering the questions she warned.
Me: eweeeeh.....so interview never start self...kaii
VO: tell me what you know about Germany politically?
Me: answered (please the answers are easily found online....I can share my summary note I prepared for common facts about Germany with you. Dont wanna make this so long. Thank you for your understanding)
VO:. What are going to study?
Me: answered
VO: why not Nigeria, US or Canada? Why did you choose Germany?
Me: answered
VO: What did you do in your bachelor's research thesis?
Me: answered.

(VO got angry saying "why are you saying this research topic like I understand what you're saying...so fast? .....me: in my mind, but you called for it. VO continued... please spell!)

Me: I spelt the field related terms for her.

VO: what's your occupation?
Me: I teach chemistry
VO: where?
Me: I mentioned the name of the secondary school.

(VO paused and then I saw a paper being printed out from her computer. She passed the paper to me. Men and brethren.. behold it was 3 theory Chemistry Questions oo)

I was like, science question in an interview? Never expected that at all. But then to the glory of God, I have an idea in the all 3 three questions, even though I was later going to realize that I answered one wrongly)

Me: solved quickly and passed it on to her
VO: with such a disappointing look on her face, "is this the best you can give me?
Me: I can still add something. Collected it and add more info to number 3 question and gave back to her.

VO: alright. How much is your salary?
Me: 43K
VO: What?! What can that do for you? Are you married.
Me: no, single
VO: can you even marry with such amount?
Me: actually, most private schools pay that low
VO: what about public schools. How much do they pay?
Me: for my level, something around 60k
VO: okay.(she then passed my passport)
Me: my heart wasn't at rest seeing my passport coming back to me. I believed they'd retain it, afterall I'm a scholar lol )
Me: ma, am I going with my passport?
VO: yes. Let's see. Be checking your email...she mentioned my email to get a confirmation.
Me: Okay. Thank you.
....................

That was how my interview went. I got my AM in TWO days and sent back my passport for stamping.

My recommendation: God can actually do anything for you. Just keep believing as you work. If you can apply for scholarships, please do. It's a great Plus. I was in Cat B last year. With the scholarship, I booked for interview on 11th August at 17.00 and got date that same day at 18.00.

Also, spread your net. I did the same. I had even forgotten about Germany but then saw the scholarship and applied and it came through.

I am now in Deutschland Friends. Everyone must succeed brothers and sisters. It just won't happ at the same time. So while we wait for our goodnesws, let's keep clapping for others. Shalom

Good day everyone.

I want to say thank you to everyone on this page that has been helpful and giving out valuable informations on this Germany waka.
I appreciate, you guys are the best ❤️

I left Nigeria with my wife in feb 2019 to Cyprus and relocated to Turkey in sept 2019 after our semester in Cyprus.

24th of aug my Visum arrived, and on Friday my wife’s visium arrived and thats after 3 weeks of the interview. We will be in Munich.

Visa processing here is too smooth and there were no questions at the interview. Just complete docs.

We were asked for the name of our schls, why are we studying in Germany and what course are we studying. Meanyl, our heads was already filled up with other interview transcript answers that I’ve been seeing on this page but taaaaaa, she didn’t ask anything. We went in with a photocopy each of our docs, she said we were meant to bring 2 copies but asked us not to worry, she will figure it out.

That’s just the short story.

I wish everyone here all the best of luck.

We were favored and victims of answered prayers. We are not in anyway better than anybody. Aaanu larigba �
Congratulations grin

Thank you for your response, I booked immediately but did not send the embassy a mail as they have never replied any of my mails. (p.s: I've been on this journey since 2018/2019) . Do i need to send that mail?
The scholarship is funded by both German and European public funds.
Boss, you need to send them mail ASAP! This is what I did myself and I go AD in 60+ mins. Send me mail and I'll send you the email addresses you need to send to. I hope you indicated on the official booking webpage that you have a scholarship and you also input the name of scholarship sponsors.

Adisa471:
Hello guys,
For those who have gone for interview, did you go with travel insurance? Because I don't see it on the checklist.
The new checklist stated clearly that SCHOLARSHIP students should also submit their health insurance DIRECTLY. So, if you're a scholarship student, you may consider bringing it along on the day of your interview.

However, I don't think it's a must. This is because if you don't submit, they'll ask you to send it along with passport and travel date when your Visa is approved.

Good luck �

EducationRe: Get Your SAT/ACT Test Paid For - For Exceptional Students Only! by cmark11: 2:56am On Feb 26, 2021
ottiz:
Most schools don't require SAT with essay or ACT with writing. They feel that the Reading and Writing sections of the SAT will be enough. The school notorious for requiring it is the UC system (California), and they are stopping the requirement this year. College Board may even phase it out, just like Subject tests.

When your student is registering, have him/her select the SAT without essay or ACT without writing.
This is very concise and clear, sir. Thank you sooooooo much!
EducationRe: Get Your SAT/ACT Test Paid For - For Exceptional Students Only! by cmark11: 5:40pm On Feb 24, 2021
@Ottiz, I am so excited. My student got selected for the SAT scholarship. I express my unreserved gratitude to you for being an uncommon helping hand!

On the other hand, part of the email received reads: "If you are receiving this email, it means you have been selected to have your one time registration for either the SAT or ACT[b] (without essay/writing) [/b]examination paid for by me. Congratulations!

Please what does this mean that the SAT the student would have to pay for the Essay/Writing by themselves? Kindly clarify, if you don't mind.

Thank you sir.

@Justwise, I would like to pay for SAT1/ACT/SAT2 test of 10 underprivileged but brilliant 16-19 year old students. How do I go about it to make sure the deserving students get it?
I am a secondary school teacher. I have a student I'm presenting registering for Yale Young African Scholars (YYAS) right now that needs this. She's 16 and presently in Ss2. Just few days ago, I mentioned SAT to her but the money to register and of course finance abroad study was a deep concern to her. I encouraged her that if she ace her SAT and WAEC, she's likely to gain a scholarship. HOW ENCOURAGED SHE'D BE IF SHE GETS THIS OFFER.

I will be looking out for your criteria for selection sir. I really do hope you'd try out. Who knows, you may select her. God bless you.
