Please help!

I had applied and submitted the German Opportunity Card application for job searching on arrival and I have reached the preliminary review stage but I don't have money to open the Blocked Account. Please, you people should connect me with a friend or a relative who stays legally that can help me with the Commitment Letter for my application.
This is the only challenge and only obstacle for my application before they could give me go ahead to book an appointment.

Please help me.
Thanks

Good day all.
Has the VFS global system improved the German visa appointment process by a lot because it seems like it’s impossible to join the waitlist without an admission letter or opting for an incompatible Visa category.

This room is too silent,any update on visiting visa to Spain

Mobola2019:
Good evening house… Please which university can I apply to that will give me admission asap… My appointment date is fast approaching 😭🙏

Based on your advice, can I go ahead and book now or wait till April? I haven't gotten an admission letter yet. I've just recently started my school application.

Hi guys, I am new here. I want to apply for the germany study visa, and in the first form? I was asked if I already have an admission to a school in germany, which I don't. My question is, do I say yes to having an admission, and proceed with the visa application (this is because I hear that the application can take up to 2 years), or is the right step to seek an admission first?

blackmentor:
Does Spain accept third class for Masters? I have over 10years study gap. Those who are there already, kindly advice. Thank you

The whole point of the visa is to search for a job in germany and the german government really doesnt care if you get a job or not as long as youre giving the country your money its a win for them.

Its then up to you the person whos applying to do all the research before you go there.
1. Is the job market for my profession good? Eg is it in ( Tech, medicine) which are good or is it in ( law, business, psychology etc) which are generally bad

2. How big of a deal is knowing german in my profession? Is there alot of international companies that dont prioritize german? For example medicine, nursing, etc require high german knowledge.

3. What city is the best for me? Based on my budget and job market there? What city makes the perfect correlation for that? I see most people picking berlin, which in reality theres too much competition there.

4. How long can i survive in the country with my own money without completely draining my bank account? So ideally you would want to stay minimum 6months to have a chance of getting a job. Can you do that? Would it be better to stay in nigeria for awhile while searching for a job then go to germany if i am getting interviews? Maybe?

5. For the part time 20hrs per week that youre eligible for with the opportunity card. What type of job are you willing to do? This is where i know nigerians have big ego even though theyre struggling lol, are you willing to wash plates? Work in a farm? Clean houses? Etc

These are just some examples i am giving you guys, theres much more that i cant list all of them, i have been to germany for internship and i have been in europe for 6 years, its not easy you have to work hard and plan ahead, germany is also known to be hard to find housing there unless youre willing to pay alot. Anyways guys goodluck, try to think and plan ahead very well because how well you plan on this could be the decider if its a trap or not.

I don't think so,Embassy is still in 2023 October/November

gosarumese:
Write to the embassy, explain your situation to them and ask for a rescheduled date. They are likely going to schedule a new date for you.

My situation was similar, earlier this year (January 2025) I received my email for the scheduled appointment date, I had to explain to them my situation that I have not gotten admission yet and that I have waited since January 2023. They rescheduled my date from February 2025 to September 2025. Now I have been admitted and waiting to go for my appointment on the new date.

Dotmanmighty:
For the first class graduates, I’m suggesting that sending a mail to the embassy to call their attention to the inability to apply on category A (Study specific option) might bring an adjustment.
Even, submitting as a scholarship student has been putting people on more than one year waiting list as of March, until this month when it changed to 2-8 weeks.

hunee:

HudsonTaylor:
@Hannania Good Morning. I booked July 2024. I have summer 2025 admission and want to defer. The school asked me why,I told them its the waiting time at the Embassy that it will only be faster if i had a scholarship. They said to process the scholarship will take time and i wont be able to meet up with the resumption date of 17th March. The school just notified me that they've send a message to the Embassy trying to see if they can give me an appointment date (I did not send them 😔🤦‍♂️). I hope this will not affect my future applications or give me a bad record at the Embassy?? Make this school no put me for wahala oo abeg 🤲

Ojabo123:
I applied October 2022 and I got date two weeks ago scheduled for 21st January 2025

Mille:
Thank you. I can't imagine waiting over one year for an appointment.

Can someone even call the Lagos embassy to ask these things. One year is a very long time.

Mille:
I'm sorry to bother you guys since this is for student visa but I'm urgently in need of advice about the opportunity card.

Does anyone know how long it takes to get appointment for opportunity Card/Chancekarte? I have someone that needs to leave the country as soon as possible. Before we go ahead with the blocked account, we would like to know if the person can get an appointment and travel in 3-4 months.

The person finished a masters in Germany if that changes anything.

Sinachi2020:
Please did you finally get your visa? I’ve been waiting for a visa for more than 3 months now. Should I give up?
