Why is it that you are the only one who knows people that are getting AD.....if it’s not one of ur friend it will be somebody you know....nahh u dey run AD?

Elninoarmando:


Bro,you can incorporate them.
You just need to think critically and find the short right words that would drive home your points.
If at all the VO isn't satisfied with what you've written,he or she might ask you to elaborate further on the interview day.
The foreign office in Germany isn't really interested in your motivation letter,as their judgement largely depends on the submission of the VO.

Elninoarmando:


I didn't write any because that wasn't an issue for me.
I was so much consumed by the thought of securing sponsorship letter first.
I can write that in 5 minutes considering that i've written many to schools while seeking for admissions.

Elninoarmando:


You see!
I tried making him understand that others have been writing within that one A4 page and scaling through.It turns out that i'm taking it personal.
Sorry please,you can do as occasion serves you.
To your tent oh Israel!!

Elninoarmando:


You're really funny.
Why can't you ask others who had successful visa interviews to tell you how they wrote theirs?
It's even made simple for you,no too much stories.One to three sentences should summarize your main points.
If they increase it to 8 A4 pages,i hope you won't complain?

I can as well just stop sharing and join the scrolling team. It is well

ChiomaMC:
Please how do I pay for assessment fee here in Nigeria to a school in Germany. I don't have a Dom. account. What's the best method. The school said it should not be paid through credit card but bank transfer. Someone should advise on the best way to go about it.
Thanks

jamesy212:

Yes, each set of documents for each school with their application form. But if you're applying directly to the school via online where you have to upload documents yourself, that wouldn't be necessary as one set of documents will be used for all. But in a situation where you've to mail your documents to each school, then separate certifications suffice.

Itstomisin:
Good day everyone... I'm quite new to Nairaland and I don't know how to post here that is why I'm quoting this message.

I applied for an English taught Master degree in University of Gottingen. However, I got a mail from them last week that to complete my registration, I need to submit a proof of English language proficiency test( international recognized proficiency test). So I replied their mail that I was told I can submit a proof that I schooled in an institution where English language was a medium of instruction and which was why I submitted Letter of Proficiency that was given to me from my institution. However, it seems they don't accept letter of proficiency because from this mail, they said I need a Diploma supplement that I was taught in English.

Please who knows what diploma supplement means? Has anyone used it before? How does it look like?.... because I asked a lecturer of mine and he said he's not aware of anything about diploma supplement.
Thank you in advance for your kind response.

Certification of Nigerian Documents
Notice for Nigerian students:
The German Missions in Nigeria certify copies of school documents for the purpose of applying for admission at a German University. In order to certify copies for universities in Germany, a proof of application to each university is required.

Please I need clarification from those that went to German embassy either in Abuja or Lagos to certified their documents based on the above statement from German embassy in Nigeria.

The school I have in mind said I should certify my documents in German embassy but from the embassy site, they said one should get "a proof of application to each university is required"

My question is I have not apply yet which means I'm yet to receive the school admission letter but embassy is saying one have to provide proof of application... Plz how did you guys sort this out with the embassy before getting your documents certified by the embassy.

GreatMage:


In this thread, there was an applicant that used that route but he said they told him it wasn't need to wait for six months...

I can't remember the country again... Didnt bookmark it.

He applied and got the visa. It was recently posted like not more than a week or so.

Check back on past transcripts maybe u will see his testimonial and can try chatting him up...

Oh and it seems it came late or so like he already in Germany of over 3 months before he came back to give the writeup...

Try going through past transcripts.

Goodluck.



This is a guy who used the route but required six months...

I bookmarked this one.

Search for the guy who didn't...

Statement of Purpose

Interchangeably Motivation Letter in some cases.

DPapilo:



Don't lose hope. We've seen a handful of such verdicts unturned, in the past .

1. Your interviewer was most probably, not convinced of your reason for travelling.
2. Also, your documents should be complete and answer all posing doubts, in your absence.

So, Work on your SOP, to subtly communicate some values you carry, and what you have been doing since you graduated.

Be sure your means of subsistence is impeccable.

Prepare and shoot your appeal, you'll be fine. PM @Henriq2 you'll be glad you did.

TESTIMONY
Although it's coming late but I know it will be a good source of information for those that are already in Ukraine and want to move to Germany on a Student visa.

My Journey to Deutschland is a case of Determination and Gratitude to God.

I started my Deutschland journey January 2019, I got 5 admission from different schools by May 2019...exactly the month the German Embassy in lagos started this Category A and B of a thing...with thier conditions I fall into Category B. I booked an appointment with category B in May 2019..I prayed and fasted for a month for an appointment and that's to no avail...middle of June I booked category A with a leap of Faith and got an appointment immediately for 6 days later being 24th of June 2019.

I went for my appointment that day after check with Mr Paulinus I was allowed in...when it's my turn to be interviewed..the visa officer was so nice to me but had to turn me back as she said I can't be interviewed cos I didn't belong to category A...I was devastated but it didn't kill my spirit...I had to come back home and rebooked category B with my fasting and prayers. The winter semester 2019 passed no AD, I got an admission for summer 2020 booked and appointment again for Category B the summer semester passed no AD.

By May 2020 I told myself the truth that if I must achieved my dream of studying in Germany I must do it the hard way...I checked up for Ukraine as it will be a good route for me...I applied for Ukraine study visa and got my visa by August 2020. I moved to Ukraine in October after thier lockdown lifting on september 28.

Getting to Ukraine I registered with a school, Got an accommodation and also got my residence permit by end of November 2020. I also got my admission for Germany summer semester 2021 but I was confused whether I will stay in Ukraine for six months before applying from there...I called thier visa center..( Visametric).that was in December of 2020. I told them that I came into Ukraine in October that was 2 months back as of then...if it's possible to apply immediately or stay for 6months...They gave me a wonderful news I wanted to hear that I can apply immediately....they gave me date of on the phone immediately for December 11 which I later cancelled cos my block account wasn't ready..and rebooked for end of January 2021.

On the day of my appointment I went to the visa center ( visametric) at kryshatric street in Kiev.. as they told me on the phone..that there won't be any interview for the visa....It was only me that came for the submission that day..They just checked my documents and confirmed it was ok..I paid my vfs fee, visa fee and thumprinted.

Exactly a month after I received a call from the visametric that my documents has been returned from German Embassy and will be delivered the next day...my BP was on the high side as I wasn't aware of the content but I was very hopeful...when the parcel was returned the visa was stamped to the Glory of God. I was given a 6 months visa as against thier normal 3 months because of corona.

I arrived Germany two weeks ago... Germany is beautiful... Germany is powerful...I have been to Ukraine but seriously u can't compare the two..I just moved into my apartment in Nuremberg city and in the process of my residence permit at the moment.

THE GERMAN DREAM WORTH IT..... PLEASE DON'T GIVE UP..

Nzealibaba:
Pls how can we reach these people, can we get their email or twitter or Facebook

Nzealibaba:
please people that booked yesterday ,are you still booking against summer or towards october for winter.
i mailed my school informing them about the visa cancellation , they told me anytime i get visa i should come if i don't meet up summer i can join winter. they asked me to choose one so they know which fees i would pay, As it stands i don't even know if I would get appointment in winter.
I am just confused.

No matter the case, Please read this:
the actions of the embassy has been extremely unprofessional, and has lasted now for 3 consecutive academic sessions and we are gradually getting used to it. e.g some have already rebooked appointment without asking if things would be different.

So picture this scenario:
A student maps out his time usually months(30 days +) applying to different schools up-to 3, 4, or more, writing and editing several applications, motivation letters, answering questions like reason why they choose their course and the school,
sending mails with courier at almost 30,000naira(DHL which i use often) per mail, pay uniassist 75euro(25,000 depending on fluctuating exchange rate) per application.
pay school for application and at times enrollment fees(e.g TUM ).
and finally excel above other international competing students and gain admission.
we make it look easy, but it is not, some of us are self sponsoring with excellent determination
and the embassy would not give a tangible reason why they don't want to meet with this student for an interview after this hurdle.
Last year summer and winter was exactly the same , you can read the post on Nairaland and confirm, people are still registering again without questioning the outcome.

Nigerian students we no longer have to blame the bad government as it has never been a viable solution. Can we try something different.
Can we extend our voices by reaching out to government offices( Dont say they won't do anything yet , lets do our part first) in a not so stressful manner(through e-mail) , while being polite (make it a plea) and keeping it loud(By lending our voices individually, you and I, not for the outspoken ones) , let our voices be heard. Enough of complaining about bad government or bad students abroad. and start acting positively.

I have a clue:
1.
We need to let the embassy know that we need a bit of transparency, let them give us informations we can work with, not blindly applying without
a yes or No wether we would be getting an appointment. example :
"summer applications are limited try winter,",
"If you do not have a scholarship letter or a first class do not apply",
"if you do not meet a particular criteria do not apply",
"Due to corona we are taking this fixed number of Nigerians, and if the figures exceed
they should inform the students on time so we try other countries".
Schools in Germany apply this method and it works, it helps scale them number of applicant,
making the screening process less stressful.
honestly , I don't know any tangible reason why i was not granted appointment for summer,
at this point I am going to repeat the exact steps I took again which obviously didn't work.

2.
If they receive huge number of applications, then will we would like to know
if it would be possible to opt for third party institutions , Indians do it, they use VFS global
and it has made them travel around Europe with ease, if their is any set of Nigerians who should
be denied migration as a result too much immigration , it should not be students .
Education in Africa should be given priority.

3.
April and October being an already established date for school resumption, the embassy
if being handled by a competent and innovative head, should opt for temporary expansion of
workforce during these peak periods. The embassy should anticipate before hand the huge influx of
students and make adjustment towards expanding their workforce .students already pay visa fee up to 30,000naira
hopefully it should cater for the extra aid they would need.

4.
I believe if a student having spent his time and limited funds going through the long application process,
and the school accepts, after placing him/her higher than other international competing students , the embassy
should hear him/her out (Interview). and decide if he/she meets the criteria for studying in Germany.
Now, their is a big difference between denying visa and not being invited for interview.
One being denial of student visa after interview is an indication that the student do not meet the required criteria for
traveling which is generally acceptable while the later, that is not being invited for an appointment is a case of the embassy
not capable of handling student interview and should take quick actions towards it, to help these
excellent students achieve their long planned goals.

Please if we can in unanimously , work towards moving this motion as a plea to the right offices, hopefully something would be done to that effect.
just have in mind that after summer last year were denied visa appointment , winter was also denied . so lets do something to this effect so things wont go wrong again this year.

drop emails of embassy and government office who might help to this effect.

thanks.

Who's got the link for interview booking, abeg send to me. Please. Thanks.

daambassador:
People that gained admission in TUM, how did you guys carried out the online registration...wanted registering for a Bsc program but on getting to "type of studies" the only thing that kept coming up was;
Master's program, Elite master's program, and Executive master's program.

In case you registered for a Bsc program, how did you navigate that particular section with "type of studies"
