bros did u regret going to germany instead of canada? Do u wish u had used ur money and paid for canada .In my case I dnt hv the canada money for my livin expenses .I hv just one year tuition fee and not even living expenses and housing .and the course is 2 years

nevilbot:
A bird in hand is worth millions on d tree. How are u sure u will secure the German admission. Canada is d way to go my guy cus dia admission in d ist place no b beans and since u av it, y throw it away for something not certain.

Second is the fact that integration is faster in Canada Dan in Germany cus of the language issue and also d fact that u won't need to learn any language before u can get or hold down a job unlike in Germany.

My guy use d money with u and ppay ur Canada tuition, wen u get dia, u will survive cus many Nigerians dia too survive. Even many of us in Germany already dey eye how to enter Canada .

If I see u in Germany and I recognise u, na beating I go give u oo

I have been too busy to attempt an answer myself. However, you have already done the needful by reaching them through the contact form. It takes time for them to respond. Their customer service in that sector really sucks. They will surely respond but the timing is another matter. However, here is my opinion, why not attempt to transfer like 20-50 euros into the account, so doing, you will surely receive notification of your transaction faster and thus the full details of the account statement, with that, you are in business.
My 2 cowries!

Its quite simple, email the embassy the last statement the bank sent to you that is if you still have your 8k intact. If not argument your account with some euros to have a statement showing a balance of 8k euros. An email from you showing your balance will do.

@esdajo
Please which email didi you send the mail to... Been trying to contact the embassy too.
But bros you get mind ooo, laying emphasis on the asian looking lady is like indiating her. Guess your mind is at rest now with the response

DANNIEmore:
Its a good response from them bro. Listen, whether you had said the truth or lied about your previous application,I bet they know it themselves. I was also rejected in March last year after waiting 6 weeks though it was on the ground that * maintenance not ensured* . Actually used a sponsorship letter. However, my sponsor newly bought a house then in Stuttgart and was paying usual returns monthly alongside that she just divorced then. Had no choice than to find cash for blocked account, did another interview in November last year and just TODAY, was asked to come with 3 months travel insurance. ..All is really well that ends well.. in all, the earth's the Lord's and its fullness thereof...!!! Thanks to everyone here and God bless us all..Stay Positive always!!!

NB; That woman that replied your email, Letitia wolf, is same woman that interviewed you ok? The Asian looking woman..

House, this is the email I sent to the embassy on Monday after the experience I had during the interview when I was asked if I had applied before and the reason for the refusal and the way the Asian looking lady reacted and dropped my passport and said I was free to go:


DEAR SIR/MA,

SEQUEL TO YOUR LETTER DATED OCTOBER 30, 2014 REGARDING MY ABILITY TO RE-APPLY FOR A STUDENT VISA IF I SO WISH SINCE I WAS AND AM NOT UNDER ANY BAN WHATSOEVER DESPITE MY INTERNATIONAL PASSPORT BEING DECLARED NON-VISA COMPATIBLE AND THEREAFTER SENT TO THE NIGERIAN IMMIGRATION SERVICE.

I SECURED ANOTHER PASSPORT AND REAPPLIED FOR A NEW INTERVIEW DATE AFTER DEFERRING MY ADMISSION UNTIL SUMMER 2015. AS A MATTER OF FACT, I WAS AT THE EMBASSY TODAY AND I WAS INTERVIEWED BY THE ASIAN LOOKING LADY.

THE INTERVIEW WAS RATHER INTERACTIVE BUT WHEN SHE ASKED IF I HAVE EVER APPLIED TO ANY SCHENGEN COUNTRY FOR A VISA? I RESPONDED IN THE NEGATIVE BUT QUICKLY STATED THAT I HAVE BEEN TO THE GERMAN EMBASSY BEFORE AND I TOLD HER MY APPLICATION WAS INITIALLY REJECTED ON ACCOUNT OF MY PASSPORT BEING NON-VISA COMPATIBLE. SHE THEN ASKED ME TO EXPLAIN WHAT I MEANT BY THAT AND I TOLD HER MY FORMER PASSPORT CONTAINED ONE GENUINE VISA AND ENTRY AND EXIT STAMPS AS WELL AS A FAKE ONE WITH STAMPS AS WELL. IMMEDIATELY, SHE ABRUPTLY ENDED THE CONVERSATION AND DROPPED MY PASSPORT ON THE COUNTER AND TOLD ME THAT I CAN GO.

I DO NOT UNDERSTAND IF I DID ANYTHING WRONG BY SAYING THE TRUTH AS I EVEN STATED SAME ON MY APPLICATION FORM WHERE THAT SAME QUESTIONED WAS ASKED. AS MUCH AS SHE HAS THE RIGHT TO REACT AS A NORMAL HUMAN BEING, HER GESTURE WAS RATHER INTIMIDATING AND IN ALL FAIRNESS, I AM AFRAID MY FRESH APPLICATION WOULD BE CONSIDERED ON ITS MERITS RATHER THAN ON SENTIMENTS BASED ON A PAST MISTAKE THAT HAS BEEN RECTIFIED.

KINDLY USE YOUR GOOD OFFICE TO LOOK INTO MY COMPLAINT AS I AM NOT AT EASE AT ALL AT THE MOMENT. MY NEW PASSPORT NUMBER IS -------- AND MY NAME IS --------- AND MY DATE OF BIRTH IS ------

THANKS FOR YOUR USUAL CO-OPERATION.

REGARDS,
-------------------




Dear Sir,

thank you for your e-mail.

Your visa application was received yesterday and I already had the opportunity to have a look into your file.

I can assure you that there is no need to worry since the refusal does not affect the current application if everything else is alright.

I forwarded the application to the Aliens Authority in Germany yesterday and am now awaiting their reply.

I will get back to you as soon as I receive any response from them.



Thank you for your patience in the meantime.



Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Sincerely yours,

Im Auftrag



Laetitia Wolf

Ok cool, the address was changed from last time. I applied as well and was booked for next week. I should be on time this time around.

nevilbot:
studies is fine oo, finished the ist part of winter semester today. wont be going to sch till jan 12. just wish i could get a constant job. went to two job casting interviews during the week but i was turned down cus of my no german proficiency and speaking abilities.

im really tired jare, really feeling home sick

XketchDesigns:
Just watch and see how everybody will avoid that question like say na ebola.

XketchDesigns:
Thanks for bringing this up. I have asked the same question over and over, but somehow no one seems to answer it. I has got me sceptical about the whole going to germany thingy.

nevilbot:
i do not usually write long stories but i really think i have to do it today. i met a nigerian lady recently here in frankfurt and i think i should share the story she told me yesterday cus we guys already here can learn a lot from it.

she came to germany for her masters two years ago with a sponsorship letter from her brother and her broda only paid her rent for 2 months and her insurance for 5 months so she had to struggle to survive by getting multiple jobs yle studying. the gist doe is not abt her cus she made a success of it as she has graduated now with good grades but abt a friend dey came together from OAU ife to the same sch here in fulda, germany.

the guy (an ibo guy) in question had a blocked acct and was being sponsored by his brother in nigeria so he was very relaxed and would not work but will go flexing and wasting money with another guy from nigeria who was on a monthly scholarship. he would also be sending money home from this same block acct to his gf in nigeria forming don and partying and buying things from expensive stores, dating german gals, moving with unserious people. you all know that 8000 euro in germany is really chicken change so the money burnt fast and he had to start begging his broda in nigeria for more money.

the broda pitied him and sent him around 2000 euro to renew his permit cus he got one year initially but during the process of his being broke and finding it had to survive, he lost focus and failed the semester exam woefully. so the visa office refused to extend his permit and he was asked to return home cus he could not cope with the rigours of the masters program. it was so bad for him that they had to send money for his flight back home from nigeria as he had wasted all money on him.

on getting back to nigeria with nothing to show for it after wasting close to 11000 euro, his gf back home that he was forming don for broke up with him and used the saving from all the guys foolishness to travel out herself. now the guy is back in Nigeria with no job and no certificate to show from his germany adventure and his brother have refused to spend a dime on him again.


moral of the story: we know the sacrifice we had to make to get here, the nights searching online for schs, the periods fine tuning our motivation letter, the trips to lagos and abuja to certify documents, the nights reading for IELTS and TOEFL and in some cases also preparing for german language proficiency exam. Most importantly, we know the biggest sacrifices some of our parents and sponsors had to make for us to be here in monetary terms. some parents (like mine) took loans with huge interest rates using a valuable asset as collateral. plz and plz, let us face wat we are here in germany to achieve cus the authorities here would not hesitate to send us back if we mess things up.

im not saying we cant flex once in a yle but we should remember the saying that dia is time for evrything under the sun. for those with a mindset of coming here to flex with german guys and ladies wo are already citizens, i would advise we do it with sense cus if things go wrong, they have a social system to fall back on but we will be left hanging out dry. if we dont av sex in a year we cant die and dia is a way we will prove oursefs that these gals will offer themself to us on a platter. i already have two german ladies in my class wo wants my dick but im running with sense not cus im impotent but cus i know say time neva reach.

and for us who have fiances back home in nigeria, dont let wateva pressure they pile(stuff like u av not called today, u dint send me a msg, u know i need attention and money) affect us cus they cant understand wat we are facing here. if he or she cant wait, then let him or her go, another person will come.

my 2 kobo. takia

Brothers and sisters please help me thank the Lord for his Devine favour in my life, most of you read about my ugly incidents on the 30th of last month, when I was robbed of my passport and student visa and all my school certificates.l just arrived Germany today with my sister who is also my sponsor, my visa was isue on Friday ,and getting a new passport was a Devine connection,l spoke with about three immigration officers who told me nothing less than a hundred thousand naira for duration of four weeks, but imidiately my sister arrived she call some one in abuja who did it for 50 thousand and I got it in one week. Oh the embassy, God bless germans,the lady in charge of my file, was so kind and concern about my health after she read my email l sent to her . my school also never ceased senting me mail every now and then to know about my well being and that they are praying for me, the proffersor sent a very wonderful mail to the embassy that makes me to wonder why I deserve this favor, my amazing sister who never looked back spending her money on every move we make,l have not spend one naira since I started this journey till now,how can I ever pay back this woman who is more than a mother to me, God bless her with all the good things of life. Amen

To study law good oo. Ur letter to them was well structured, no nonsence, well detailed....the man self could not give u answers to all your accusations. I feel that the accusations was really blown out of proportion and it is good as you told them.....I wish you the best and just know that God can make the best out of the worst. He can turn ur mess to mercy, ur rejection to acceptation if only you commit yourself sincerely to his will and purpose.....all the best once again.
