Nice one. What if the primary school is no longer in existence? but have a picture you took on the graduation day with the certificate and the school banner as background with parent and siblings.

That shld enough if u can be recognized in d pics nd it is actually a pics dat looks as old as your claim. Note that the embassy will also do their verification dats what the visa fee is for. A friend had a similar case but she contacted d director personally. Thank God he was still alive.

D german guy need to be working an earn about 3k per month if single or 6k married to be eligible [/quote


Do you mean 3000€? You are paid according 2 ur tax level. The tax level is 4rm 1-6. 1 is 4 singles it's also like 5 nd u get 2 pay a lot of tax b'cos u don't hve so much responsibility. If only they knw we hve pple bac home 2 take care of. It's like sharing ur salary with tax into 2parts nd givin u 1 part. The rest is put into the sozial welfare. 2 is for single parent; u get 2 parts 4rm 3. It almost same with 4. 6 is the worst u get 1 part 4rm 3. An average German earns as 4rm 1400 after tax if you work 100%. Fact is the more u earn the higher you re taxed.

Morning gurus in the house, my interview date is fast approaching and I don't have my primary school certificate, will an affidavit be okay for me to cover for it, because even back then in my undergrad i used affidavit to cover for it, plus my primary is not even in lagos. I will like to know what those that have done the interview thinks?

The Embassy looks 4 evry slightest reason 2 deny u of Visa. Try nd go to ur primary school nd get that document even if it means traveling. Affidavit can b used in place of birth certificates. Pls don't miss this opportunity. 1 more thing, make sure your age is the same 4rm Primary - Secondary-University - Date. That's wat they look out 4 (forged documents?)

Good day every1, i was goin thru d lastest news in Naija nd somehow i found myself on this page. I read thru it nd found it interesting nd would like 2 correct fews points. 1st of all let me introduce myself. To God be the glory I am a Nigerian -German nd i also happen to be a nurse in Germany. For student visa, u hve 3 options. 1) opening a blocked account with 8640€. 2) scholarship 3) A sponsor who must be residing in Germany, earning a minimum of 2700€ nd must be a citizen. The sponsor needs to go to the German foreign office here( Ausländerbehörde) nd collect a guarantor's form ( Verpflichtungserklärung). If the sponsor meets the requirements he will be given the letter. Fact is, no 1 is willing 2 take that risk for a total stranger as all bills will b directed 2 u if the student doesn't meet up with his bills or gets into trouble. Perhaps a family member or a very close friend. I knw this cos i jst did it last week for my sister. For the normal visting Visa u only require a minimum of 1600€ 4 the guarantors form. If you can raise the 8640€ knw that the money is still urs. When u arrive you go to the bank, sign some documents nd u can make use of the account. Maximum pay is abt 720€ monthly. U can't withdraw all at once. Germany is a beautiful nd law abiding country. It hurts me so much wen i read thru nd hear how my pple back home re being treated in the name of getting visa. Fact is evry school has it's deadline 4 admission, afterwards u re either givin an admission or a rejection. The German embassy in Nigeria re aware of this. Saying they re fully booked till Sept. is rubbish because they need at least 5wks 2 process, nd u as a student needs at least 1 week to get 2 knw the area u will be living in Germany.Winter semester starts depending on ur school 4rm Sept. till Nov nd they re very aware. U can start latest on the last working day in a month. For example if u re 2 resume 1 of sept , u can always start on d 30 of sept. b'cos d school consider int. Students. If not u hve 2 apply 4 d sommer semester dats if d course is not only in winter semester. ADALAPRETTY made a very valid point. The embassy is there to serve u. The truth is that, the embassy in Nigeria tries to reduce the no. of pple coming into their country but saying they re fully booked is totally unacceptable. They re paid by d German govt.montly 2 work for 8hrs. Atleast Aug-Oct. shld b made mostly available 2 students. Most of you who got admission letters knw when u got ur letters. Didn't realize i hve written so much. 4 does of u dat hve got admission nd appointment do not give up. The stress is only in Nigeria, once you get to Germany it's easier here with Visa. 4 those awaiting admission letters do not lose hope. Keep applying. If not for corrupt govt. there is really no place like home. God Bless Nigeria.
