Okay. Thanks. But I've a sponsor so there won't be need for blocked account. [1quote author=ansellotty post=69225714]

I applied to the University of Bayreuth (M.A. History and Economics). Although they claimed they have a rolling admission procedure, I am yet to get feedback from the University.

In order to ensure that I get a favourable interview date as soon as I get my AL, I've written to all the schools I applied to requesting for a change in residential address to that of my Abj address.

They have acknowledged receipt of my new address, which would reflect on my AL in case of a potential AL.

I'll advise you to open a Fintiba account before your AL comes.

Let's keep praying and hope that everything will go well.

I no want make even fowl c me inside 9ja for morning as from November.

have you booked visa appointment If not just open BA now and book first then u can go for interview with your SL my 1kobo

Rhomio:
You don't have to be a citizen of a country before you can submit your visa application, but you must hold a resident permit of the country you are applying from.

OK thought its citizenship

mekanta7:

I been go my school last month make go collect the stuff but the greedy principal charged me 19k, almost the amount of visa fee, chai I leave am run. Abeg I wan know if the embassy go collect statement of result with scratch card since everything dey online.

mekanta7:
hello peeps, i applied for interview date this morning and was given 13th July this friday. is that not too fast.

lucky you abuja or Lagos

Rosicky7:
Lol. I would want to believe he can apply for the visa at any country once he has a legal status in the country. For instance, you can apply for UK visa from Germany.

bros please clearify what you mean by legal status make we all learn here am sure to some level you must be a citizen or permanent resident to apply for German students visa from any country cos they will use the countries requirement for you .
To add to this I think last winter or so many guys wan request for same in Ghana they were turned down but may be they have changed it sha make him try we go all use am learn

Chriswazo:
No, must i be a citizen before I can be interviewed in their embassy I don't think so sha, but need more clarification

you must have Cotonou passport before you can be interviewed there but check or write the embassy

toys2seven:
Hello guys, thanks for all the contributions. I just got a letter from uni-assist stating their pleasure to inform me that they'll be forwarding my application to HCU-Hamburg.

According to them, even though it's not a letter of confirmation of admission, I can pretty much use the letter to apply for a student's visa.

So can I go ahead and open a blocked account and apply for a visa or should I chill till I get the official admission letter from the school.

Danke.

where did you guys got the idea that you can't open fintiba without AL ? Just go ahead and open your fintiba account while you wait for AL am not sure you can use that uniassit letter in lieu of AL.
But you can try sha

iwriterng:
Thank you bro. I logged on just now and under the document section I see the opening confirmation (finitiba basic) download form. Is that the form I’m supposed to download for embassy?

I guess they don’t reply anymore.

you should have two forms there to download one is make the transfer and the other is account contract u need the one with title make transfer on download it and use for visa interview all the best

Oluwanifemi34:
1) Please is there anyone in or going to leuphana university of Luneburg this winter semester?
2) Regarding my proof of financial eligibility, my immediate brother a citizen of U.S wants to be my guarantor, how WL I go about that ?
3) among the documents asked to submit for enrollment is proof of membership in the statutory health insurance scheme or private health insurance ( how will I get this? Because it's stated that incase I am using private, I should provide a certificate for an exemption from membership in the statutory health insurance)

2. No , except he deposit the required amount in you block account
3. When you get to Germany u will get health insurance I guess your school is talking about physical enrollment

iwriterng:
Uploaded documents since Thursday night, I’m yet to hear from them.

wait they will reply you but u can use expatrio its faster than fintiba .
Also I have heard of people getting there's after one week

SooCute:
Good morning fam.
I am having some serious thought over our visa processing.
I haven't heard of anyone getting Visa yet from Bavaria this winter.
I heard their System is slow in approving Visa.
There comes my greatest fear.
My interview have been scheduled on 2/8.
How can I meet up if I had planned to be in Germany between 28/8-3/9.?
Do you suggest I use other schools I got in other states like (Hamm in NRW) and (Trier in Rhineland Pfals) to enter Germany then go to Bavaria once I am in Deutschland?
I really wanna do the course I was offered in Bayern.
Does anyone have an idea how this Porting can affect me?
I don't mean Porting after 1year or semester. I mean starting my studies at once in Bayern.
I have started enrollment and have sent my acceptance letter to them since May whereas I have done nothing with the other admission yet though I still can.
Danke im voraus für ihre beratung!

if the other school won't ask you to pay for enrollment then you can ho ahead.
But also since you have started enrollment what's your fear is the date you stated your enrollment deadline date ? If its not just calm down you will get your visa make sure you fund before you go that can also help

iwriterng:
Bosses, how many days does it take finitiba to get back to you once you upload the passport selfie etc? Thanks

mine was less than 24hrs so it depends

DrVektor:
But what if I have my npc certificate and hospital birth certificate and I was born before that date?

ask google or embassy cos I don't know what to answer again

Kenthumphz:
Hallo Leute,

Let's understand that the way Nipost works for one might not be same as for other person. Neither do you expect the TAT for LAGOS to be same as Enugu's.

People who use Nipost should be those who have at least a month to deadline. I always used Nipost and it always got to my destination. usually 13-18 days. So permit me to say NIPOST is bae.

But if you don't have time, got the money and want it delivered asap, Ngwanu by all means use DHL. It's why you always asked to plan early.

As a form of advise, if you are still sending to Germany for admission, lemme be blunt by saying you just wasting money, especially when using DHL. Instead use the resources and time to plan for Summer and Winter. Except of course you applying to schools that can give you admit foe Summer now or probably defer.

All the best Leute

settled if u get admission now where the interview date wey u wan use am for knowledge will not kill u all my 9admission this winter na NIPOST and all delivered latest 9-11working days I sent one June 1st and deadline is 15th June it was delivered so what again can I say than NIPOST is better than DHL

tizzdi:
pls how much were you asked to pay for tbe semester fees

bros u get admission for bremen ? If not your school will be different but if u did it should be in your admission letter but if you just wan know na 361.12euro

chimax1:
pls pardon my many questions I want to get as much information as i can get before making a move. from wht i have learnt so far the process is quite straight foward.
1. Get admission
2. Apply for interview
3. fund BA
4. wait for mail to send docs. (i hope i got it right)
now my quetions is this. how viable is the SL right now. i have an uncle who is a priest in germany. can he get a SL for me?

am not sure a priest can issue SL except he has another job that pays him so let him go to the alien office to verify first if he can before you proceed

Chriswazo:
Dailydolar, please what could be the problem? I sent two separate documents through NIPOST from here in Aba since 19th of June and up till now the schools are yet to receive them. Is there any cheaper courier i can use this next week that is very fast cos I have 15th July deadline.

Pecky222, did you use Nipost and how long did it take?

from what I understand your letter is suppose to be in Germany this week so I just think you should write the school first to confirm from them but if you sure they have not received it then you can send tru DHL or other couriers

Omosikiru1992:
Afternoon team Dutch land.......The international passport I used to book for my interview appointment still have validity of 8month b4 it got expire but with the fear of getting expire when got to Germany makes me renewed and its had been stamped not to be valid and my interview at the embassy is September please hope it won't affect the process or I shld go with the both passport

go with both simple

OBYNOWEST12:
There's, from my little knowledge most university that offer such course have German as their course language. So if you want her to study she need to be good in German language.

Then masters program, some uni held in english and there's tuition fee of 2,000 Euro per semester.


For my own advice.
Allow her to finish the study here in Nigeria and also learning German. So that if she graduate, she can enroll for master program.

Thou am a medical radiographer currently doing my nysc service.

Which school she's ?

you can try MSC medical photonics in Jena (FSU)

blaze007:
My man abeg, this SL must it come from Germany? What about if its my Organization or my family here in naija?

no only German citizen or person with permanent resident

Swithoni:
Good day everyone, thanks for your help so far.
Please I have a question.....

I’ll use SL for my visa application but I’m opening a blocked account as well. Can I fund the account with the money I have saved even if it’s not up to the required 8640 € or must it be 8640 even if I’m not using it for visa stuff, just saving the much I have to use till I stabilize there?

better hold your cash with you and change to euro when you wan leave if not you might need to do the complete before u can widraw just my thought ooo

victree007:
lol. Thanks again bro.
U & my friend @funmismallz go meet up for Bremen

you grad from uniben ? She just talked about you as I post the transcript for bremen people group. That's lovely we are together

victree007:
My pleasure bro. This SL/BA confusion is long overdue. I'm glad I could set it straight a little bit

I know no issue about it but people just dey put fear for people mind .
Anyway me na SL I dey go for and I don make up my mind on am since so no fear congrats once again wishing you AM as soon as possible

kongturkey:
My intend is not you mentioned, embassy shows 0 tollerance to not writing motivation letter and low cgpa fyi

for cgpa you no correct in as much say u get admission dem no send you

tejaf05:
@victree007 Please I have a few questions.

Was your BA fully funded with the 8640 euros? and do you think one should have both BA and SL to be on the safer side?

did u read his transcript he has not funded so the cash is not there and also no need to use BA and SL na one u go use

victree007:
Hello House,
I had my interview this morning 06/07/2018 in Lagos and thought it wise to share my transcript. The interview lasted less than 15 minutes. The multitude that came for interview today sha. It didn’t get to my turn until 9:20AM
So here is how it all went;

VO: Have you funded?
ME: Not exactly. I haven’t exactly decided whether or not I will use a BA or SL as my uncle is currently processing an SL in Munich for me. So the outcome will determine if I’ll be using a BA or SL

VO: Okay. Please read the information on this form and sign
NB: It was a form containing blocked account confirmation details…

So I read and signed the form then passed it over to her.

VO: Why do you want to study in Germany?
ME: I want to study in Germany because the country has some of the world's top universities for geosciences, which are ranked based on their reputation and research in the field. Also, the educational system is high-class and combines theoretical teaching and practical training with the goal of ensuring a lasting/perpetual innovation. The caliber of scientists and geologists that the country has produced over time is a testament to the quality of education currently being offered in Germany. This is why I want to study there.

VO: Masters or Bachelors
ME: Masters

VO: What is the name of the course?
ME: Masters in Sustainable Mining and Remediation Management

VO: What is the title of your BSc thesis?
ME: Hydrogeological Study of Ekiadolor and Environs. I quickly asked if I should spell “Ekiadolor” for her and she said yes. After typing, I asked her to please repeat the spelling of the same (E-K-I-A-D-O-L-O-R) to be sure it was well spelt and she did.

VO: Why do you want to study this particular course?
ME: The Sustainable Mining and Remediation Management programme is a critical aspect of Geology in which I want to carry out a geoscientific and an environmental research. This area of investigation is a build-up on my undergraduate thesis in Hydrogeology and it will give me the opportunity to conduct a research on the geochemistry of acid mine drainage and its impact on water and earth resources particularly around mining exploration communities. The skills and knowledge to be gained from this programme will readily make me become a better environmental hydrogeologist.

VO: Why not study this course in Nigeria?
ME: The level of infrastructure and the quality of education offered in my home country cannot be compared to that in Germany especially when you consider some of the modules and internships involved in the programme and the fact that a teaching experimental mine is at the disposal of whoever studies this programme at TU Freiberg. Also, the unpredictable nature of education in Nigeria does not guarantee the completion of this kind of programme in record time.

VO: Why not study this course in US, UK and other English speaking countries
ME: A key motivation for me is the level of flexibility of university programmes to meet the research needs of students as well as the affordable nature of education in Germany.
NB: Me and VO go back and forth about this question before we finally agree for this response sha o
If she asks any question that doesn’t carry Germany in it, she will ask you not to mention anything about Germany in your response as well. I no know how to explain the thing pass like this.

VO: What do you know about Germany?
As we reach this question, for my mind I say we die here[b][/b]

ME: Germany is located in the central-western part of Europe
Its capital and largest city is Berlin
Germany has a largely temperate seasonal climate with population of about 82,8 million people
Germany is the most populous member state of the European Union and the second most populous after Russia in Europe
Germany is one of the world’s largest technologically advanced economies and It is both the world's third-largest exporter and importer of goods
Being an eco-friendly nation, Germany is currently researching about ways to transition from mainstream energy sources to renewable energy such as solar and wind energy.
Then she cuts in and asked me to wait for her to type…

ME: Can I continue the story telling?

VO: Yes please go ahead

ME: Okay. Germany operates a federal, parliamentary and democratic/representative system of government where Frank-Walter Steinmeier is the president and head of state while Angela Merkel is the chancellor and head of government in Germany.
During the period of Allied occupation, two German states were founded: West Germany, formed from the American, British and French occupation zones which formed the federal republic of Germany and East Germany, formed from the Soviet occupation zone.
Which also formed German democratic republic
On October 3, 1990, the unification of…..

VO: It’s okay It’s okay It’s okay. You want to fill up my computer with what you know about Germany, I can already see you know about a lot embassy.
For my mind I come dey say aunty na you say make I fire down like caro nao.

Eventually we both laughed to her “You want to fill up my computer” comment and then she told me that’s all, we are through with the interview.

ME: Can I ask you a question please?

VO: The interview has ended nao what else do you want again?

ME: That form you asked me to read and sign which contains the blocked account confirmation details, does signing it invalidate provision of sponsorship letter?[i][/i]

VO: No it does not. You can forward us either your blocked account confirmation or the sponsorship letter. Anyone is fine.

ME: Thank you for satisfying my curiosity. Have a nice day
NB: VO didn’t even ask any information regarding the sponsor I mentioned I have in Munich

I made sure I asked that last question because a lot of people have been coming here to say once you sign that form you can no longer use SL in place of BA. I doubt if any of such people ever asked their respective VOs this same question before arriving at that conclusion.
Well there you have it from the horse’s mouth – Signing that BA confirmation form does not invalidate SL in anyway. VO’s word, not mine.

congrats thanks for clearing the air on SL o can now rest my case well-done AM awaits you

tejaf05:
Thanks for your prompt response. I don't have Proof of financial means (either scholarship of a federal German or EU organization, Verpflichtungserklärung, opening confirmation or blocking confirmation for a blocked account). Will I still be granted an interview date or I should get that first.

go to page one of the tread your answer is there

clark0:
Good morning gurus in here, since on Friday last week my brother booked for appointment at the embassy and up till now the embassy has not given him a date yet, some persons in the houses suggested that he write the school and request for extension or defer the admission, which he did and he was told that they can not do any of both, but instead the school sent him a pdf pleading with the embassy to give him an appointment date, can this help him out, if he could not make it this year, can he use the sponsorship letter he has now for next year.

let him tell the school to issue him another AL with abuja address so he can book visa in abuja so he can get appointment date .
For the SL I heard it expires after six months if not used am not sure but make him try abuja stuff first

chimax1:
thanks for your input. when do most universities start applications and how will i know? Am looking to getting admission for march/april semester

check on daad.de

Eldeee:
I don't think that will poise any problem so to speak. The only problem will probably be when you submit the block account opening confirmation during the interview and later use sponsorship letter for the proof of the required funds.

am not even sure this will be a problem too.
Just try and explain during your interview that's what a friend did and the VO told him to go ahead so I think the old rule still works

tuyiboy:
]Please, the transcript in my possession was directed to an organisation where I worked because that's the only way I can get my copy but now I need to send it to the school I applied to.
Isn't that gonna be an issue? . You don't have a problem. I will just advice you to make coloured photocopies and certify it. The photocopy is not necessary any but just in case you want to send multiple application and hard copies.

no need for coloured copy black and white will do just certify them that's all

manuel04:
There's school that even accept 2.7 German grading system, check Trier Universitat if you can find a course that match your discipline.

yes I know even siegen but mind you most of them are restricted am just saying should in case the worst happen get second choice bsc for one side as you dey apply for MSC . final answer
