Mercy95:


Im equally suprised
Im even confused
I was in Category A in 2019 buh wen the changed there requirements in 2020 i fell under Category B

It means you booked under the wrong category.
Anyway,try out your luck.

Fatalveli:
omo the tuition for 2 years for my course is 7170euro plus I have to provide cost of living and accommodation. It’s too much money

Is that a Polish school?
If it is,why can't you go for Polish language course for 6 months ?
It's cheaper and gives you shorter time to migrate to Germany easily.

Mercy95:
Gurus in the house, biko i need you response ASAP

I got an interview date today evening to be interviewed tomorrow
How possible is that?
I have not gotten anything ready
Please what do i do
I have been waiting since 2019 for date, i have even given up on Germany waka until this evening
Please help�

I guess you're in category A huh?
Cancel it and rebook when your documents are ready.
Category A applicants don't have problems with getting AD.

Vlibray:


3 months bro

Thanks a lot.
Please,check your mail.
I'd like to gather more information from you.

Vlibray:

Thanks brother
I called the German embassy here today .
I was told I didn’t need a polish resident permit to apply for a German visa since my type D National visa is still valid .
So I will apply for a visa ASAP from here
I don dey waste time since .
One more question, which city do you think is better Bonn or Goettingen

Please bro.,Is it compulsory to stay up to six months in Poland before applying for German visa with the Polish type D national visa?Or you can apply as soon as possible (like immediately you entered Poland)?
I sent you a mail.
Thanks.

OdogwuEkeke:
My 3 days fasting begins tomorrow. 6-6

Hahahahahahahaha!
May it be fruitful for you.

TonyyS:


No. I only booked

Mehn,that's favour at work.

TonyyS:


Well I don't know what to advice. For me I ignored the fact that people were saying no AD for cat B etc. I maintained my determination that once I get AL I will still apply for AD and if I don't get by regular booking then I will apply via email. But when I applied, it only took 6days for AD mail to come. So, thats it. I booked this May

Did you send your admission letter to them via e-mail after booking?

Fatalveli:
Some positive news.

Don't rejoice yet.
Without tourists,category B applicants' quota for visa appointments is still few,what do you think would happen when tourists are allowed to book for appointments again?
The consulate might not be willing to increase their work force for now,to accommodate more applicants for interviews,in order to avoid the spread of COVID-19.
To me,this isn't a positive news for category B applicants.

TonyyS:


OK thanks. Does it also mean I need to find a place in Germany in order to answer the question 'intended place of stay' on the application form? Besides, I got appointment date. Cat. B. applied this May.

Wow!
Congratulations!!
What start date did you use?

shawnmich:
Please I want to ask a question related to this issue..... My school will be resuming by the ending of this month of which I did requested for appointment since April 2 but yet to receive a response from the embassy about it, is it possible to try to schedule another appointment at cotonou if it will be faster than this Nigeria since my school will be resuming by ending and am not sure they will give appointment date before then so is it possible to schedule appointment at cotonou and go there for interviews if granted..... Kindly advise guru in the house and who has receive appointment date for category B. Please help me.

For you to be eligible to apply via Cotonou,you must have their resident permit and it must be at least 6 months from the day it was issued.
You made a mistake during your booking.You should have shifted your start date to September or October.
If your school starts this month,it means your interview invitation mail should have come in March and your interview in April,if you were to be given an appointment.
If you're in category B,it won't be possible for you to get interview mail and be interviewed in the same month of May.
If at all you're interviewed this month,what of the 4-8 weeks of processing your visa?
You should be in Germany before your start date(except last year that corona virus interrupted that)
These are the things you have to consider before booking.
That's why they stated categorically that once your start date comes closer,you should forget about being invited for any interview and cancel your booking appointment.
From experience,mails for interview dates for category B applicants are received from the end of July and all through August (NB:this time frame might change for the better and i don't know when) for winter semester.
If i were you,i'd cancel immediately,rebook and use October/early November as start date.
Start online for the time being.

OdogwuEkeke:
@Elninoarmando Omo October far ooh

I even have an exam in July and my course no get an online exam.

If I do not get a date by July, I will have to step aside from this journey.

First semester no exam, second semester no exam, and I dey paid the semester fee.

I even dropped some courses.

I wrote that based on my own experience.
I wish you all the best and pray you get a date by July.

Fatalveli:
Odogwuekeke according to the image below, it says after the start of studies has passed and you didn’t get date you will have to reschedule appointment.

And if I could remember, all existing applications from last year was cancelled on April first. For a student who has started studies online already, what should be the ideal new start date. I’m studying at university of Potsdam and I started on November 2nd 2020, however with no AD and appointment cancelled on the 1st of April, what do you advice I select as the new start date?

Use October.
Dates from 2nd week downwards are okay.
But,you should have booked since last month.

OdogwuEkeke:

Awwwww @Elninoarmando

Congratulations!!!!!!

Thank you in advance �

Mimilori:
Dear nairalanders
Thank you for your contributions
Please how do I book for category B student visa? Please what is the link or do I have to go to the embassy physically
How do I pay for the appointment booking. Is the payment via card or cash?
Thank you

Here's the link.
You don't pay for appointment booking.

daambassador:


Notwithstanding you have written many as you said, how can one incorporate such information about him/her self in a single A4 paper, considering the fact that SOP written and submitted will end up being 'YOU' in their judgement room because the person ain't going to be there to defend what he/she wrote.

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.

daambassador:


Why not inform us how you did yours because' I understand you were on the verge of attending interview but unforseen circumstances pulled things back tho my prayers with you for a break through and for you to meet your destiny helpers.

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.

daambassador:


Baba why taking it too personal like wtf!
One to three sentence should summarize what?
Let me do like I didn't see that.

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!!

daambassador:
Is there anyone thinking what I'm thinking?

Could it be that the person or persons that drafted the current checklist is high on something or what, how do they expect one to write SOP in one A4 page, because' applying to UK schools in the past have helped me to understand that a well written SOP should entails what's your course of study is, what motivated you for that course, reason for the country/university as against other countries/university, your future plans/options after studies e.t.c.

Now I asked, why will someone that sucked her mum breast for complete six months or getting to one or two years expect that such points if when develop will fit in into one page of A4 paper size.

Plz those of you who are the embassy agents but claiming to be students like us should inform them to make amendment on SOP.
They should at least adjust it to two pages or maximum of three pages.

Thank you in advance as you convey this infor to them.

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?

ExchangA:


My question now is... If I used November 1 as my start date as at 1st April, is it okay to get an appointment date soon?

If it's category A,the "soon" is possible.
But,if it's category B,you can get an appointment but it would take some months.
They even stated it on the category B booking page like "during the long waiting period for category B applicants.........".

Where all these oracles dey na?

I know how the whole thing be early last year. If una don find your way abeg cut soap for us, share insights. I no dey see una green light again.

I dey here nwanne,anything for your guy?
I think I have to do this to calm the tension here down.
Yes,the German consulate do give dates to category B applicants.
I got date the last time.The interview mail came on 15th February,2021 and my interview was to hold on 12th March,2021.If you doubt me,i will show you the mail.
Before you criticise or judge me on why i didn't share it here,please,hear my story.
I really wanted to share it here but i wanted to have my sponsorship letter before i'd do that.
For the past one month and some weeks,i've been devasted emotionally and psychologically because at the dying minutes my sponsor disappointed me,therefore my silence here.
I had to cancel my appointment to give room for others who are on the queue.
You know how hard it's to get an appointment under category B.I've been on this journey since May 2019.After series of admission rejections and now this.
Look at how it works-if you want to get a date under category B,book "earliest" of early and shift your start date far to April/October.
I saw a post of a guy who booked on 2nd April under category B and used June as start date.
Yes,he booked early,but,his start date might cost him an appointment date.This means the mail for his interview date should should be received in the same April and his interview should be in May.
Based on experience and testimonies of successful category B applicants,mails for exact interview dates drop around January/February for summer semester and July/August for winter semester.
The German Consulate no dey do ojoro.It's first come first serve.Where I want them to improve is on increasing category B quota as i also advocated for more appointment dates for category B applicants on this platform some weeks back.
Have patience,don't rush to cancel your appointment.
If you booked early and you were not given admission,please cancel,don't be wicked.If the appointment land wetin u go carry am do?
Then,if you got date and couldn't honour it due to one thing or the other,please cancel too,just like i did.Don't be cruel,because many category B applicants are on the waiting list.
I hope this helps to settle unnecessary arguments.
Using other legal routes for visa is also okay,as long as you can afford it.
This time around,by God's grace i'd upload the appointment date mail once it lands.
Don't give up.
I wish you all the best.
See you in Germany.

There should even be more slots for visa appointments for category B applicants,since they're not issuing shengen visas for now for tourism,seminars,trade fair,short time business visits etc.But,na the same story.

Earnest93:
lol....you just funny sha
We all get Visa by Gods grace

Thou i didnt take it serious

Wonder go happen this month by Gods grace

Amen ooo!!

Earnest93:
bros i have been following all you confirmation
your own self too much
is like na english u study for school
just try accept you were misleading people and move on

Hmmmmmm!!!
See this one oo.
Follow follow.
I no mislead any body.
You're just confused about the whole thing because you don't know where this issue started before jumping in.
Keep following my comments u hear.
Dem send u?
You that went to dig it out,what's your aim?
This issue has ended two days ago,everyone one has moved on and you just came from no where to start trouble.
Leave me oo.
Waka pass biko.
Tell Dem say u no see me.
Allow me think about getting visa biko.

MartOkoh1:
U could have left people to their choices since instead of putting pessimistic replies here to discourage them.

I don't even understand your own.
Who's giving pessimistic replies and discouraging people from making their choices?
Did you read my previous comments well?
Stop writing off point on where my comments are headed.
My stand is clear and i maintained it in my first and second comments.
This matter of leaving people with their choices, isn't it in tandem with what i told the guy you're supporting?
You should have addressed it to him and not me because he was the one i told to leave people with their choices.
Scroll and show me where i told people to do like this or like that.
The bone of contention here is that this guy you're supporting abuses and insults people when they disagree with the option he's given them.
Please,try to understand the context of an argument before jumping into it.
Kai!!!Nawaaaaa for some people ooo!!!

MartOkoh1:
His point is when u are not sure about something do not claim u know it 100%. A lot of people could have tried their luck but due to what u said, they didn't. Its people's future we are talking about.

Incomplete information is as bad as wrong information.

You didn't know where this issue started.
Even if people are giving out wrong or incomplete information,must they be abused?
What are "idiots","rubbish" and "useless people" doing in his comment?
Respect people's opinions,it's simple.
Please,don't add fuel to this already rekindled fire.
If you feel it's wrong,you can address them maturely without any verbal attack.
Those that want to follow the German embassy's instructions are 100% right because the information is obtained from their site.
Those that didn't follow the instructions and booked in the wrong category and succeeded are also right in the sense that it worked for them.But,it's a 50-50 game.
Waka pass and leave everyone to his/her choice.

daambassador:



What's the essence of being a learned person or a graduate, must you insult people before you pass your message? Plz change!!!

His previous account was banned because of this attitude of verbal abuse,attack and threats.
He signed in with another account to continue his ministry.
I've really checked,he's still this kind of a small boy who hasn't really known that this world is a small village.
I don't understand why people get attacked for not agreeing with his opinion.
I don't understand the sin of someone who uploaded the requirements of German embassy directly from their site,stating categorically that category A is for Phd,scholarship and 1st class holders-after January 1st 2018(beginning from 21st March 2021,it would be reduced to only 1st class graduates after 1st January 2019).
Ok,he didn't graduate with 1st class, he booked in category A and has gotten his visa,glory to God.
Some people might follow his pattern and be lucky as well while some might regret it.
He's not the first person who's booked in the wrong category and it turned out positive.
But,he should allow people who want to strictly follow the instructions of the German embassy in booking at the right categories to rest?
Let them be with their choices and accord them that respect.It doesn't call for abuses and threats.
I don't know why he's filled with rage because someone doesn't want to go along with his opinion or suggestion.
Take a new leaf boy,otherwise this kind of life might land you into irrecoverable troubles.
You don't know who is who here.
Some people can track you down with everything within them to make sure you're really dealt with when you provoke them,particularly,when they were not really the ones that attacked you first.
Some people know the school,the course/department and the city you're going to in Germany.
Stop exposing yourself to unnecessary dangers.
Once again,note that this world is a small village.
You can go ahead and insult me as usual,but know that i've built the immune to such juvinile deliquency.
Thank you.
