Let is wrong for johndoefoo. It has to be const, you also need to learn your array methods

He´s actually right.

Let allows you to declare variable for a "Local Scope"

While var can be used to declare variable "Globally"

Since Javascript has lots of children.. E.g Node, Angular, Ecmascript, React, Typescript, e.t.c the way these Frameworks declares variables tends to differs. Javascript these days self is now confusing but we ain´t got no choice than to tilt along.

for example:

Using Let
let beebee = 'foo';
let beebee= 'bar'; // Throws a Syntax Error because an Identifier 'beebee' has already been declared

Using Var
var 9ja= 'foo';
var 9ja= 'bar'; // This runs without a problem, reason because the previously assigned value in `9ja` will be replaced with the new declaration.

So he´s right

As for the array, how else does one declare Array in Javascript.. Ayam lost here, maybe you can enlighten us more..

We are already deviating.. This is not a programmer´s thread biko...!

I know some guys and a babe there..

Since your sex is encapsulated.. are you a dude or babe so I can know how to forward you to him/her

But Jena is also a nice city with surrounding cities like leipzig, thuringia and weimar.
So hustling should not be an issue. just that you´ll travel some few kilometers to major city to work.

All the best

Hello Doplaz, thanks for your valuable contribution to this thread, please what in particular is wrong with the Foreign Office in Siegen?

Also hope this statement is talking about train usage literally "Die zug ended dort, Alles Fahrgäste musst aussteigen "

The German statement above is being announced in the train heading to Siegen. and on getting to Siegen Hbf (Hauptbahnhof) also known as train station, The announcement is clearly played for everyone to exit the train because Its the last stop.

As for the Foreign office, they mostly ask students to come with 20 credit points for extension. This gives them a sign that you´ve been attending classes and exams.


All the best !

guten Morgen family

Please in a case one couldn't get visa to travel for an admission of this year winter, can you write them to defer it to next year winter like is done here Do German universities defer admission

Good morning...

Not all schools defer admissions. and the ones that defer, does this with exceptional cases like visa delay.
and the max a school will defer will be till summer and not till winter (I Stand corrected though).

So if the course is available in summer, you could push in for it

Regards

Pls house l have some questions. Pls do well to reply if u have answer to any of them. I am really worried now.


Foremost, How do l arrange my documents for visa interview?

Secondly, in funding the fintiba account, must it be my sponsor that will transfer the money? If another person help me fund it and l choose another person as sponsor will it affect my visa application?

Furthermore, My first names are not arranged in the same order. For example, my B Sc Certificate bears Daa Gbb, Okeke while my international passport bears Gbb Daa, Okeke. Pls can this affect me. Pls advice me on what to do.

Thanks u in anticipation of your response concerning my matter.

1) Go to the German embassy website, the required documents have been uploaded for your perusal
2) Anyone can fund your account even your enemy. The koko is to have the funds in your account.. NB: its not compulsory to fund before the interview but funding will give you an edge.
3) No, it wont affect


Goodluck

Boss, nice job. Lemme use this opportunity that I have to ask this question. I have an option of going to Siegen or Frankfurt for Economic Policy. I prefer Siegen (which is a small city) actually because of that and some academic reasons. Am not one to be influenced by how big a city is. If need be o can still relocate after studies. What do you make of my town Siegen and my choice. Thanks.

Berliner, Dolpaz, Willy, your inputs are highly sought after in this regard too.

God bless

Hmm... Siegen and those strong headed people at the Auslanderbehorde.

Well, the problem with Siegen according a friend like a brother is "Die zug ended dort, Alles Fahrgäste musst aussteigen "

Siegen is like a dead-end of NRW and from where I live, the train comes every hour. Yes, its a small city but as 9ja, we can hustle anywhere to make ends meets. It could be tough and challenging to Live 2 hrs away from school esp if you´re having 8:15am lectures. In order words, Siegen is in NRW which has big cities Like Dusseldorf, Koln, Essen, Dortmund, Duisburg, Paderbon, Munster just to mention a few. You can always get job in these cities but the distance ehn.. Baba your body go hear am eh.

As for frankfurt, I have been there for a couple of times and its actually more of Business and economics activities with lots of opportunities too. I don´t know much about frankfurt so cant say much. Weight your options and also try applying to other schools with similar courses in NRW. But if siegen is what you have, you can come in, start studies and if its not favourable to you, you can change course, school and cities..

All the best bro !

mayorelnino:
like if we could see someone who can give a detailed explanation about the possibility of crossing to Canada or Australia after your program in germany. As well as the success rate. Because the way people over there are hammering this language thing is like the major requirement for securing a proper job.

I´ll drag an old NL here who will share his Canadian experience and also make similarities between the two countries. we chatted at length but it´ll be nice to hear from the horses mouth..

So stay tuned !

Dude follow your heart. what is good for the geese..... you know the rest. It is not everybody that likes yankee same with Germany. If your main purpose is PR, think twice b4 making that decision. like in the bible, "The fastest runner doesn't always win the race, and the strongest warrior doesn't always win the battle. The wise sometimes go hungry, and the skillful are not necessarily wealthy. And those who are educated don't always lead successful lives. It is all decided by chance, by being in the right place at the right time."


1) Your dream ?
let johndoefoo = 'German PR';
let hapiness = ['success'];
if( johndoefoo === 'success' ){
return 'German PR';
}else{
return null;
}

2) Reality
let sucess = ['German PR', 'Yankee PR', 'Aussie PR'];
let suffer = ['remain in naija'];
let johndeofoo = '';

if ( johndeofoo === 'GermanPR'){
return sucess ;
}else if(johndeofoo === ' Yankee PR'){
return success;
}else if(johndeofoo === 'Aussie PR'){
return sucess;
}else{
return suffer;
}

Gent009:
Hi. pls i have a question. how easy or difficult is it to get PR in Germany after the completion of masters.

Hi,

Let me take my time to explain some of the process of obtaining PR "According to my City" and with the best of my knowledge.

First, you need to understand that there´re certain courses that get you jobs faster. If your´re studying a STEM course, then you´re qualified to access the job market easily. STEM means Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics. However, you need to have some good command of German even if you work with a Multinational firm. I worked with one and I know why am saying this.

I´ll paint the real and true story here without mincing words.


First, some German does not believe blacks can attain some position and also engage in some challenging task. they get awed when they see blacks over perform at work place especially in Medicine, IT, Engineering. I think they believe our background is not strong enough or something. More-so, their orientation is that most "LAGER" jobs are meant to be done by blacks maybe because of our strength and of course the money involved... I mean working with company like Benz, VW, Amazon, these guys pays really good but they´ll stretch you to the limit. don´t get swayed, a black working in the Office settings is achievable but you have to be on top of your game.

LAGER = FACTORY **


Secondly, When it comes to full time jobs not Aushilfe, or Werkstudent or Holiday jobs which every student can get easily, we are at the bottom ebb of the employment chain. Especially if you have your first degree in another country and perhaps have a Msc in Germany, they tend to consider Germans first, followed by EU candidates, then students with German Arbitur (whether Africa or Asia) because the German Arbitur(Bsc) is very challenging coupled with some technical courses. This they believe would have given you a solid background. Then comes the Americans, Canadians, Asians (Chinese, Japan, e.t.c) South Asian, Africans in that pecking order. Getting a full time jobs allows you access to some financial opportunities like house and car loans and so much but still, Its doable and you´ll have to be well knowledgeable in your field. Now this is where German knowledge plays an important role.. you´re in the office and the Germans are gossiping about you and how they want to frustrate you out of the office, you can easily intercept/decode the communication easily and perhaps escalate it further. Lots happens in the office. though, I have never experience any but I hear stories. The moment you make a little mistake, they report to the boss and its all in GERMAN. They´ll come back laughing with you but hey, you´re being crucified behind closed doors. Also, emails, news and Ads will all be in German and you´ll not like to bore your colleague by always asking him to translate for you cos he´s also on a tight deadline.. you could use google translate but at times, the translation may be wrong and you could be carrying the wrong message. So biko if you have the time and wanna settle here.. LEARN GERMAN LANGUAGE. ITS THE MEAL TICKET HERE !!!

So after getting a job in your FIELD OF STUDY you need to pay your taxes, Insurance and Socials consecutively into the German system for Minimum of 24 months. This will obviously grant you a Niederlassungserlaubnis (Also known as Permanent Resident Permit). But prior to getting the Niederlassung, you can get the so called EU blue card with your job contract. This would allow you to work anywhere in Europe. But its advisable to work in Germany and pay your taxes right there so you can get the PR. If you work in another EU country, then your PR could be extended. The EU blue card can be requested for immediately you get a FULL-TIME job with 40 hours per week and minimum of a certain income.. I think from 2200€ per month after every deductions have been made.

Thirdly, if you are not in the STEM category but would love to earn a PR, you can also work as a Freelancer after your study but in your FIELD. Ensure you have a proof of constant remittance of taxes and socials into the German system for 2 years and you can go ahead to apply. Germany does not joke with taxes and they frown deeply at defaulters. Its not rocket science but people are getting it and Nigerians especially. I need to state here that the system and Law is very complicated and even Germans working in the Auslanderbehorde gets confused. Just do the needful and never try to circumvent or bypass the system.

Lastly, ensure you keep a clean RECORD, don´t dent your Police Character report also known as Führungszeugnis. Once dented, it´s a stigma for life which will follow you everywhere you go. Don´t bypass Taxes, avoid jumping trains and tram without a valid ticket, don´t get into trouble. Live a simple and God fearing life, respect the law, Ignore mofo´s and Racist everywhere you find them and remember to reference God in everything.

May God bless our hustle

I drop my Pen here....!

Wishing everyone Success

Berliner1:
For sure...

I know guys who are stuck in that uni.
I have 2 who left for US on same issue.

Lol.. mad courses..

Out of the 2 guys that left, one of them is on this thread...

Bro, we get yarn oo..

I go call you

Berliner1:
This is not Uk.

Studyimg Engineering here in English is a tough task talkless of German.However, no harm in trying..80% of camerounians here study more crazy courses here with German as language of teaching.

Just avoid crazy and difficult uni like Jena and kiel with rhine waal...if you know..you know.

Bro, you sef confirm say Rhine-Waal na tough school right ?

Hayor4real:
I know C1 is part of the requirement
Because I heard some peolpe saying despite having C1 it will be difficult how true is that

Bros, did you study your first degree in German or english..

Your answer will determine if it´ll be tough or hard.. Because studying Engineering in English is tough not to talk about studying in German which is not your official Native language.

So think about it.. and Yes, I have/know couple of guys that studies Engineering in Msc but you can always ask your question here so others can learn

cronsberg:
Please gurus in the house, my question is. I want to go for my masters in germany in a computer science or IT related field, but i got a 3rd class undergraduate degree. Are there any pre masters programs in german unis or some kind of pgd over there so as to allow me to enrol for both pre masters and masters? Cuz i know it will be difficult to get a direct masters admission with a 3rd class degree.

First of all, Germany does not offer any PGD or pre-masters courses. so zero your mind on that.

However, Its not about your class of degree but your Grade point average. If you have some work experience, you could try lots of school. but obviously not the Core Technical Computer science courses. Cos that would not be visible. You can try applying to courses like Information systems, Data Science, Data analytics, Digital media, e.t.c couple with a strong motivation letter and work experience.

But Information engineering, Computer science, Software engineering is a no-no simply because of your grade. anyway, visit daad.de to list some course which might interest you and contact the programme officer.

Also, dont limit your search to Msc alone, try check for some Bsc courses which you find interesting. Perhaps if you start another Bsc, you could end up transferring some credit/courses which you´ve successfully passed in Nigeria. This will reduce the workload on you and give you ample time to focus on other tasking things.

Gemeinsam sind wir starke !

Hayor4real:
Hello jigba do you know anyone studying engineering with German language at masters level

DO you really wanna study Engineering at the Msc level after studying in English ?

perhaps you have a C1 in German Ja ?

All the Best

Dammy112:
Where can I get to certify my documents in Lagos apart from the German consulate? The lady refused to certify my transcripts claiming its a student copy that it would be better if my school send transcripts directly to the schools in Germany which will cost me alot since they are more than a school that I am applying to. So does anyone know where I can have my documents certified in Lagos(Ikeja preferably or Ikosi CMD area?

Secondly, How can I get a new WAEC certificate from Waec, the one I have is a photocopy, I could not find the original copy and the lady refused to certify it.

Awaiting your responses.

1) Go to Ikeja high court and certify it. if you´re gonna use those road side guys, make sure its a NOTARY PUBLIC office. ensure your documents is signed and stamped with seal...

2) Go to WAEC office at ogba...

saxony2018:
Greetings to everyone that is working towards making this thread value adding.
I just got admitted to study MBA at HHL Leipzig Graduate School of Management. Program starts on August 2018. I require few clarifications.

1. How early can I schedule my visa appointment and can I use the admission notification email from the school to apply?. Please note that I am expecting the official admission letter including the whole admission package.

2. I will be funding my study with a student loan (A UK company in partnership with the school) and would like to know how to address this during the visa application process. I mean the organization disburses all my money directly to the school.

3. What is the earliest appointment date that I can get?

Danke.

Sorry, this question keeps escaping me..

I noticed the others have been attended to except the Uk funding..

The German embassy recognize three means of Funding...

1) Blocked Account
2) Sponsorship letter from a working German resident permit holder
3) Deutschlandstipendium or Scholarship..

So to answer your question in a giffy, Since you intend using a Uk company, the embassy will ask you to inform the company to transfer the required amount into your blocked account as a proof of funding. Since the course is an executive masters.

But I think there are exceptions. This can only happen if your intending school interferes with the process and assures the embassy of the fund (Which is very rare in most cases because all these schools don´t want to interfere with the embassy bureaucracy)

Since the company has a joint partnership with your prospective school, I think something could still happen but in most cases, the company will be asked to fund your blocked account for studies purposes.

I hope this is well explained...!

osifo4ever:
Pls is this the real amount needed in block account 8640 or 8900 euro

8640 + 150 processing fees. = 8790 so just put 8800 or more

Its still your money

Berliner1:
Hannover is a good location and Heidelberg University is the oldest university in Germany and in terms of student jobs, you will surely get a Job.

But kindly be aware its in Baden wurttemburg and u are obliged to pay 1500 euro per semester.

Fehler: Hannover is in Lower Saxony and not Baden wurttemburg

So he´s excluded from the Mandatory 1500 schools fees.

Let me burst your bubble guys. It´s likely gonna get touger coming to germany from next winter because there´s a serious debate of introducing tuition fees in NRW. Knowing fully well that NRW has the most schools in Germany. what does this translate to? This means that other universities in other state will receives almost tripple of admission request. Thereby forcing every other state to emulate the tuition fees.

What does this bring to the table? It means you´ll have to pay a certain tuition fee of 1500€, Semester fees (differs from Uni to Uni) and so much more... This literally means you´ll have to cough out over 10,000€ for your emigration to Germany.. Phew ! Thats a huge sum of money right ?? I have joined my school and informed other students to sign the petition against the introduction. We are just hoping this does not materialize.

Although, the tuition does not affect already enrolled students.

So guys, brace up and make it on time before the big hammer lands !

You never reach Germany you don dey behave like this. Na people like you go enter Germany run.

Experience is the best teacher so they say. Eke has been there for some years now and believe whatever he tells you, at least to a fault. I know him personally and he´s a cool dude who doesnt minx words together. That´s the reality, believe me, we are at the bottom ebb of the dating chain. you can choose to believe him or not but please dont discourage those who have strong interest.

I´ll also share some useful tips on how to get EU Blue card..

Pls what is 2,1 equivalent to and what percentage is that ...thank you

Do you mean Nigerian 2,1 cgpa ?

that should be around 3.4 german cgpa which in most cases is not sufficinent for a Msc programme

Ayohbk:
Hahaha..... boss.... You be oou alumni? Seems you did statistics, cos the lectures you mentioned are stats lecturers. They are all fine.

My cgpa is 3.61. I guess that will work. I'll check out shine waal now. Thanks.

computer Sci/Maths
I know more.. just that I´ve forgotten their names...!

3.61 is okay for any Msc in Germany

Ayohbk:
Hello guys,

I really need your help and it's quite urgent. I planned on processing admission for winter semester in Germany but I haven't been able to because my transcript which I applied for since March was not ready until yesterday . Most of my choice universities deadlines have passed though I had resigned myself to wait till summer.

But I want to ask if there's still a chance for me for winter because some if the schools that offer my course have their deadline on May 31/ June 1 while 2 other universities are June 15.
Another thing is that most of them require TOEFL, though I have registered for it but my exam date is still June 16th. So I wanted to ask if there's a way to notify the schools .

I also want know if the deadline is for the day Uni assist receives the application or the school received the application. Please note that most of the schools and course I'm applying for are free admission (no nc).

I know I can get my documents certified and possibly send on monday through dhl.

But I would like to get replies to my worries stated above, so I don't just waste money and time. Thanks all.

If you can get your Toefl before June 30, you can still make winter admission. apply to Rhine waal, Kiel for information engineering... But you need a german cgpa of 2,3 which equates to 3.2 Nigerian Cgpa

How´s Dr Agunbiade, Mr Afuape, Dr Odetunde, Mrs Salako, Dr Rufai, e.t.c

diggy4real:
In addition to this question, the recipient of the this letter and the sponsor, are they not supposed to be related?
Who has gotten a sponsorship letter from someone who is not related to the student? After the interview, how does one know that one scaled through. And what is the next stage afterwards? Do they still reject one after submitting block account statement or sponsorship letter?

Someone should help, please.

1) No, they are not suppose to be related but be sure to know the nitty gritty of your sponsor.. the embassy could ask funny questions like when did he travel, when was the last time you guys met, Is he married, If yes to who? why is he sponsoring you, what does he do, how much does he earn, where does he stays, for how long has he been in Germany, and so much more.

2) You only know you´ve scaled throught if your documents aren´t sent back to you after 7-10 working days.. that means your application could be forwarded to the foreigner´s office.. even though in some extreme cases, the auslander also denies a prospective student.. So its a 2-way hurdle.. when you scale over the embassy in Lagos, your documents will also undergo verification in your intending city before final consent. after your interview, go ahead and fund your account, If you´ve already funded, take out time to start learning GERMAN... and remember to PRAY..

3) Yes, they can deny anyone if they find out that your true intention is not to study. whether you´ve funded or not...

Phew.. I have taken a lot of time to read some messages and most of them have been answered.. Its been a loooong time since I posted here. work and studies have been hectic.. I just have to give back to the community that got my back some severals years ago

Wishing everyone all the best

otkings:
Good evening everyone,

I'm new here and just got admitted to study in Germany. I have the following questions:

1. Please is it true that having a German citizen as a sponsor can replace block account in applying for visa?
2. How do I and the person go about it?
3. Please I need a sample of a sponsor letter.


Thanks in anticipation of your kind responses.

I´d wanted to reply you yesterday but because I added a link, the spam bot blocked me..

1) Yes, a permanent residency card holder or a German both of which must be working full time with an income of over 1500€ after taxes and all deductions. Please note: your sponsor may be limited if he´s married with kids. This is because his salary will be shared amongst his/her dependencies

2) This depends on the city.. some city requires you book an appointment while some are just walk in.. The sponsor gets the letter immediately after paying some fees and clearance. The is €25

3) Its verpflichtungserklärung.. you can check more pictures online... Just type "verpflichtungserklärung for studies" on google images.

CAVEAT: Please know that lots of people are scared of helping with this letter. Unless a well knows family member. There´re lots of stuff about it which can´t be discussed online. This literally means your sponsor trusts you well and he can vouch for you to a large extent. But note that if you fall into any dispute either with the police or any offense, your sponsor will be questioned and he/she might end up loosing his residency.. !

All the best to all applicants !
