Ifedee06:
So AM mail dropped today. Many many thanks to all the contributors on this thread.Like @ninered said, it's not that people don't want to contribute,the torture of waiting was something else. Besides,the interview questions were more or less same we've read on here.
Also conveying the wrong information to other folks based on one's personal experience wouldn't be appropriate. For example, I wasn't asked for the WAEC scratch card but my friend was asked to submit hers just last week.

For everyone that's still going through the process or has just begun,please read the pages diligently because there's so much to learn. Also, don't always take one person's comment as the only word. Try to gather as much information as you can and when you do go for your interview,go with all that is relevant.If they don't ask for it,you keep it.

Sorry for the epistle.

Interview on the 31st of July,
Funded on the 9th of August
AM mail 31st of August.

Congratulation!

I went to the embassy this morning to pick up my visa as opposed receiving it via a courier service after a minimum of 7 days (I submitted
my passport on the 23rd).

This is because while submitting my passport and insurance, I also included a letter explaining why i needed to travel as soon as possible due to
the fact that my enrollment deadline was fast approaching.

To my surprise, I received a mail from the embassy on Friday telling me to come collect my visa this morning.

I learnt a lot from this forum which is why i am documenting my process here to help others facing some of the challenges i faced.

Congrats!

Hey Guys, Here is my transcript.
Arrived there around 6:50am while my interview was slated for 8am. Met a long queue, thought I was too punctual, not knowing that all those were also for 8am. About 80% of them were for short term visa so their own interview was held just a bit after the security post. Only long term visa applicants go right inside the embassy. Good enough heard the almighty Mr.Paul was on leave so our files were not even checked before entering inside.

I went straight into the waiting hall around 7:50am and found 16 other waiting applicants but about 15 applicants came later. There are four(4) interviewing rooms and the 4 of them were working,.meaning 4 consular officers attended to us. Each interview took over an hour. At 11:54am, it was my turn. The light on the door of room 4 blinked and it was my turn. It was a man I assume is in his late 30s. Speaks more like he didn’t grow up in Nigeria. I think he has a German background.

Me: Goodmorning Sir
VO: Morning. Can I have your passport and your appointment letter?
Me: (Gave them to him)
VO: Looked at it, scanned it and entered the whole information in the system. Printed it and gave it to me to confirm every information was correctly entered. Also gave me a little form to sign. That form is an agreement that I’ll fund my account before my visa is processed. I signed.
VO: Can I have your documents? Originals, then two sets of photocopies.
Me: (Gave)
VO: Great! If you could arrange your documents this way, why can’t other applicants do same? (Repeated it thrice while going through them). I had to tell him..Thank you for the compliment.
VO: Are you married?
Me: NO!
VO: Sure?
Me: Sure
VO: Any child, legal or illegal?

VO: Summarized all the points I made and typed. Read it out for me to hear. I agreed.
VO: So why Germany?
Me: Answered
VO: Why not study in Nigeria?
Me: Currently, no Nigerian University offers this programme.

Me: Sure!
VO: Why not UK, US or Canada?
Me: Answered.
VO: Summerized the 3 points I made and read it for me, then typed it in.
VO: So what do you know about Germany?
Me: Started Hitting it.…He sensed I was really prepared for that part. When I started mentioning the countries that Germany shares border with He stopped. Said, its ok.
VO: Mention the states in Germany.
Me: Mentioned. When I mention a state he’ll ask for the capital. So I started with the states I knew their capitals. Once I mentioned 6 of them. He told me to stop.
VO: You have really tried!
Me: Thank you Sir.
VO: So where is the location of Germany?
Me: Western Central part of Europe
VO: Are you sure? Cos your colleague that just left said its located in the East of Europe
Me: I’m sure Sir. It’s in the Western-Central part of Europe.

Me: Yes
VO: How many siblings do you have?
Me: said it

VO: What is your average family income? Can you give a rough estimate?
Me: Yes. Mentioned.

VO: Okay. Let me hear you introduce yourself in German.
Me: My name ist Dominic, Ich comme aus Nigeria, Ich wohne in Ingolstadt.

Eke40seven:
Family reunion is a very big issue with a lot of processes. They will verify EVERYTHING you submit. They will visit your primary school, Secondary school, sometimes even your religious organisation. No matter where it is located. And these things take a lot of time depending on how easy the process is for them. I heard you can talk to the official when he comes to your place on how you can help make the process easier and faster for them... But in the absence of that, for some it takes 3 months, some 6 months. It takes a lot of patience.

Thank you very much for enlightening me I find this more helpful.... Gute Nacht!

Good evening NLs I wanna ask a question real quick.. How long does it take for the embassy to verify all submitted docs for family reunion?
