Before June or your appointment day, walk into any DHL office and enquire about the envelope, pay and pick one because purchasing it at the embassy will be very expensive

While I was congratulating @TonyyS for the good news of getting AD in Cat B, a friend called to inform me that his AD email came since 5th being Wednesday tho his own is Cat A.

I wish you guys success and favour in the sight of the VO on the D-day.

God as I have wish them well, please let mine be a surprise too as @TonyyS said "it was a surprise for him" because they said when you clap for others on their success story, other hands will clap for you.

Like things are getting better and interesting...my friend said he was surprised he booked on 3rd May and the AD mail landed on 5th May while his appointment will be on 2nd June. Though his start date as he choose was 3rd week of September.

OK thanks. Does it also mean I need to find a place in Germany in order to answer the question 'intended place of stay' on the application form? Besides, I got appointment date. Cat. B. applied this May.

Actually don't know much about the "intended place to stay" probably you enquire from @princejck and others that have reach that stage.

But do you mean you got appointment date for Cat B and you even applied this May.

Congratz in advance!!!

Please guyz on the checklist what does 'prepaid courier envelope by any major...' Mean? How can one go about it?

That's an envelope you can get from DHL and other companies (int'l logistics company) that are into logistics...I believe they will use the envelope to return your documents

It will make sense if you patronise DHL since its their own.

I apologize for giving the first impression that they re same, you re right they are not the same nevertheless you need to ask yourself what motivated you to choose such career path ( work experience, internships etc.) indicate them in your cv and motivation as well as during ur interview also don't give the impression that ur first degree is a waste but rather combining both degrees would give you maximum advantage in ur new career path.

Many thanks for the insight...

If I am not mistaken, a BSc Int'l Relations and wants to go for another BSc International Business Management?
This could raise an eyebrow, like why do similar BSc.

But If it is a BSc Int'l Relations and MSc Business Management, that would be fine. I doubt if such a master program will be free tuition sha oo



Will like to correct this impression, Int'l Rels and Int'l Business/Management are not the same though they may sound the same in the ear. While the former focused on foreign policy, wars, peace and security, history, international law and jurisprudence, political economy, education, relations between countries/governments (intergovernmental relations) e.t.c the later focuses on intercultural communication,
business law in an International Context,
international financial accounting/taxes,
languages,
international management (Specialisation) e.t.c

Well majority of public universities in Germany with the exclusion of private universities offers the course for both Bsc and Msc and they are all free tuition.

With their high rate of racism, they don't even speak English


Bro let's not talk about racism because' even as a full fledge Nigerian citizen you still experience it day in day out in this Naija...I have experience it tho I won't mention the name of the multinational company after going thru series of interview in different states and taking the risk of plying the 'good roads' in our country it ended up in tears because' of racism.

Generally and in Africa yes age is not a barrier but German dey look age. There’s something called lückenlos Lebenslauf. It means ur cv should be without gaps which in ur case ur cv and motivation letter should indicate the reason for ur new career path and not after first degree u didn’t do anything reasonable and still want to repeat Bsc

And what if the person has been working his ass out in a business environment (firm that majored on purchasing and supplying, including logistics) more than three years and CV had it well documented about his role.

After first Bsc getting a second Bsc is not always positive especially if you are above 28 years old with no working experience with your first degree. Your work experience could be the reason why you want to change career path or to specialize in other field. Generally after first degree people improve with masters and Weiterbildung (Special Training) here in DE without having to repeat Bsc.

In your case ur first degree is similar to what you intend to repeat in DE. Sorry to say it makes no sense repeating Bsc. It would be better if you apply for masters or better still use masters to get into DE and when you re here you can change and go for ur wish degree if that’s what you really want to do.

Note this are just my ideas and I’m not 100% certain of the outcome of your visa application.

It’s good to do things logically and not give the impression you only want to escape Africa problems.

But hope you know age is not a barrier to acquire education.

The question that kept running on my mind through out my stay yesterday in German embassy Abuja was, do they derive joy in punishing Africans especially Nigerians?

Appointment time was between 10:30am to 11:30am. Got there some minutes before 9:30am, had encounter with the security guys including a mopol officer, all of them were nice and friendly, and if you were not told you will think I have known them before that sunny morning.

At about 9:45am, I was called in first to observe Covid-19 protocols wearing of facemask, sanitizing my hands, checking my body temperature which was about 36.6 as I saw on the receptionist register.
Then I walk inside the mission's compound and was directed to the VO (actually didn't go there for visa appointment but for certification of documents), walked in and she asked me to have a sit
VO: how may I help you
Me: yes I'm here for documents certification
VO: Can I have the originals and photocopies,
including your int'l passport
Me: I presented all to her

After like 3 to 5 minutes she returned all the documents that I gave her and wish me goodluck, tho I didn't understand what she typed at the back of my transcript but the only thing I understood was yesterday's date.

When I enquire why all visa applicants especially guys going for Bsc will have to move to Lagos for their interview since they stipulated on their website that people leaving in the north should visit Abuja for consular and other related matters, she responded with a smile that "dear its management decision" to keep things that way.
Then I went further to ask why not keep to their position on people residing in a particular region of the country as they stipulate on their website, she still responded with that smile "dear its management decision and there is nothing she can do about it". At this point I got to the conclusion that the mission must have had it as a policy or a way to frustrate Nigerians because' the embassy was kinda deserted, I mean customers were not much (very scanty), only the staffs and security personnel. Yet they found it worthy to allow people going to Lagos for interview without considering the dangers on our roads, and coupled with the current security situation in Nigeria.

Actually, it is not.

I have only heard of people applying for master's that are unrelated to their first degree.

Even if you get admission, you need special grace and a strong statement of purpose to get you a visa.

The embassy usually frowns at such moves, they would think you just want to japa by all means.

I have read of many cases in previous threads.


Alright but based on the reason especially the first degree stuff, what's the chance of someone getting visa after badging a Bsc in Int'l Relations but still want to go for Int'l Business/Management

CHECK THE UPDATED CHECKLIST.

Three major reasons I see here.

1. Insufficient blocked account.
2. No letter of presence.
3. Current semester enrollment certificate

I dunno if he can appeal based on these major faults.

Embarking on second degree after obtaining one in Nigeria...is that not a major reason

The reasons for denial is too long, appeal won’t make any sense. The Embassy in Cotonou is more strict than Lagos and don’t accept most stuff you guys submit at DE Embassy in Lagos. You friend should find more genuine reason to go to DE, start afresh and learn from his mistakes.

This goes also for those applying for second Bsc and those whose course can be run online.

Actually stuffs are getting interesting, one of the reason for the rejection was not giving a tangible reason why he is going for second degree having badged his first degree in Nigeria. In a situation like this, what do you think will be the right answer to reason for second degree.
