I got AM without funding tho I was given 30days to fund.. a friend of mine also got AM without funding and wasn't given any deadline to fund.. so it depends on who is handling your application

extrema:
Please house I have questions:

I have interview on the first week of Sept. I already have AL but BA is not yet complete (hoping for a miracle) and I don't have SL yet.

Though I have already opened Blocked Account. My question is can one get an AM without having funded?

Cos I don't know if I will be able to fund one month after my interview.

And when one gets the AM, how long will the embassy give the person to provide source of fund?

Thanks

Chill and stay hopefully but start planning for summer

Pls house....i applied for student visa appointment since 26/07/2019 and up till now i have not been given appointment date and my enrollment deadline is 29/08/2019....i mailed my school and they said they cant extend the enrollment deadline...pls house what can i do?

It's been there for like a month now
You are obviously not on student visa application booking page

cherche:
Please guys I saw this on their website when I tried to book an appointment.
IMPORTANT NOTICE: Due to the very high demand the consulate apologizes for not being able to offer more appointments for student visa applications for the winter semester 2019/2020 as we are fully booked out.

But I went in still and saw a few appointment dates. Now, I am not sure if it is for visa interview or just certification of documents as stated on their sites.

I think the message on the site is clear enough and people with 12th got another appointment mail for 13th. Though for peace of mind you can still go check tomorrow.

Hurby:
Happy holidays everyone. Please what happens with people who have their visa appointment tomorrow(12th August), now that they have stated on their website that they will be closed.
I await your response please.
Thank you!

Not true
You buy one way ticket

MicroMo:
My people, abeg, is it true that you must buy return ticket when travelling with student visa? Cos na one way ticket me I wan buy o

Yes but you need to go to their office in Lagos with your visa to make payment.. the discount is 15% of whatever price you see on there site.. while the discount code is NGSTU18..

DeutschMariano:
Please has anyone used Emirates airline recently? Do they have students discount?

You can't say for sure, depends on alot of things.. when you get to the embassy, how fast you are with paulinus, how slow/fast your vo is in typing, the amount of questions you are ask, etc.. so you can't get a direct answer for this

imoriafe:
Pls how long does the visa interview take? Can I be be done with it by 9 .or 9.30am

Wow
Siegen is actually very fast.. you would get your AM next week
PM, I am going there

SoftAnn25:
I am anxious, my interview was July 4, 2019 last week Thursday was 5weeks after my interview, I funded my block account before the interview... Though on the website I read 6-12weeks, but I notice people have gotten AM, don't know why mine is delayed, I don't know if is the city or if my application have issue?

City: Siegen(NRW)
School: University of Siegen
Course: Roads to Democracy

Yes it can

RealPower77:
Thank you for the advice, but can it be stated on CV?

Don't complicate your application

RealPower77:
Good Morning,

Please is it advisable to put an appointment letter of a new permanant job (say 2/3 months old job) to the documents submitting for Visa Interview? Knowing fully well that granting leave is not possible.

Please advice, thanks.

Hey, young man! Where have you been
Depends but on average 4weeks.. could be less, could be more.
Yes it takes far longer days than BA

Basalt:
How long does it take SL to get verified?
I heard it takes longer days than B.A

who knows the average days it usually takes for SL to get verified?

Congratulations!!

AM Alert!
AL: March 7
Interview Date: July 19
AM: August 9
Blocked account: Fintiba Plus, funded before the interview.
Course: B.A Intercultural Theology, Migration and Global Cooperation
School: FIT Hermannsburg

It can only be God! I wish everyone successful application!

Very clear now

Adhheir:
Conditional Admission is different from language school admission that can only get you a language visa. @fabcol is obviously talking about language visas, you cannot work on a language visa or convert it to a student visa, you have to exit and reapply for a student visa after the duration of your language course which is usually not more than a year.

Language visa is different from student visa, conditional admissions get you student visas but they sometimes go south especially when the prior language possessed is insufficient. You both know what you're talking about but I guess you don't understand yourselves.

Short term visas are not in this category which prompted fabcol's answer to the guy, or did your friends travel On short term visas and extended it?


Mit freundlichen Grüßen

That's what I would advise too

dailydolar:
bros me been wan ask the guy make him just go do new passport if him get fake visa on him passport ooo cos he won't like the new track anyway what do we know

Oh ok then

Philfit:
Truth is that once he can say why he wants to study the course and why he chose a German taught course, they wont care what level of German language he is in. i know about 4 guys in DE right now who used conditional admission for a German taught program without any proficiency in German and more testimonies to come this winter . All he needs to show is proof he is going to do the German language course (payment notification to the language school, and language contract) this way they are sure of his purpose of going to DE

Actually I gave a reply based on what he wrote.. embassy wouldn't give him visa to go start A1 in Germany(whether with school admission or not) when there is Goethe that is far cheaper in Nigeria. If he had German knowledge to like A2 level then he has a good chance. But again weird things happen on this journey.
[quote author=Philfit post=81100047]It depends, if he was actually given an admission for a full study program and asked to do a language course as one of the requirements then his visa would not be denied. it would be treated as a student visa, all he needs is the confirmation from whichever language school he registers in that he has paid and would start on so so date plus his schools admission letter for the study program with the condition. If its just an admission from a language school only, then it would be denied due to your stated reasons

Hello everyone, please I need a school with bachelor's in culinary arts or any nutritional related course.

Congratulations!!

sapha:
AM ALERT!!! ALL GLORY BE TO GOD
Interview date is 26th June
God will answer everyone's prayer here in Jesus name....Amen

Congratulations!!!
It's a 99.9% chance your visa has been approved
Forward the requested documents to them and expect your visa within 7 days via the courier evenlope you submitted

Msticks:
Hello, I am new here. please what does a mail stating you should bring travelling insurance mean? Is that a sign that your visa has been approved? Or can it still be rejected? I am going for M.A at BSBI in berlin.
Can I start celebrating?

If you had stopped at "I'm curious" maybe I would have explained but you concluded already so no need. For the record, I don't give information here based on assumption

armpit:
How did you know about this verification process, was it from an insider as it is no where on thier site. I'm curious because we can't be spreading info we got on assumption.

If you have your enrollment extended then you can cancel and book with the new date. Abuja hardly handle's student visa so I don't see any advantage booking with that

Haryanfhe:
Good morning nairalanders, I'm quite new here but I've gone through the whole thread and noticed some people have the same issue as I, no AD yet! I want to cancel and rebook with a later date but thinking of choosing Abuja instead of Lagos, please what do you advice before I do. All replies and assistance is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance �

It would.. ensure you go with your transcript.. but I doubt you can enroll with that in your school

fibe:
Good morning house, please I graduated for the past 3years but my certificate is not ready yet..will statement of result be accepted at the embassy?

Firstly, their is Goethe Lagos where you can learn German far cheaper (60k or so per level).. this is enough reason to deny your application
Secondly you booked the wrong category. Language course is supposed to be booked under long stay.. another reason to be denied.
Thirdly short stay isn't extendable.. that's why it's short stay
Their are alot of English taught courses in Germany, I wonder how you missed them.
If that's your dream course and school learn German here in Nigeria via Goethe to the required level and apply. Or search for English taught courses on daad.de for summer and apply

elpatron95:
Good morning
I applied for bsc in environmental technology and resources management in Ruhr Universität Bochum, but I was told to register for German language first since I don't have a language proficiency in German.
I registered and the said I was to pay 500 per level for the language course. The course takes 3months per level
I went to check on appointment dates at the German embassy and was told that appointment booking have closed for the year and I confirmed that on the website too.
But short term visa appointment is still very available,
I was planning on paying for 2 levels , A1 and A2 which will be 6months but since appointment have closed for long term,
I decided that I would pay for just A1 and apply for the short term of 3months and when I get there I will extend.


Please I need tips on the interview, likely questions that I might be asked

I don't know how the verification is done but I know if you have a fake stamp on your passport be sure the visa application would be denied even after getting AM. It seem wiser to use a new password for application if u have such on your old passport

Edwinmuyi:
Please what do you mean by verifying travel history on passport? Do you mean they will write to countries you have been to, to verify you or what? What if you're now using a new passport and the visa is no longer on it?

With such grade it would be very very difficult if not impossible to get. But I have seen weird things happen in this journey (nothing is impossible) so if u come accross any, try!

GrasstoGrace:
Good day house, pls I want to ask, is a 2.76CGPA (Covenant University) holder qualified for a DAAD scholarship

Hmmmm
Since you have a better option think it through. Yes, it is very possible to get your AM and Visa in 5weeks if everything goes smoothly but N/B a slight delay during the process like, verifying travel history on your passport after AM(if u have any), holidays, lazy vo, how fast is the person handling your document at the foreign office, VP, etc can make you lose going this winter if the school decides not to extend further. You can always switch to your prefferd school or course after a semester or a year.

LexRE:
Thank you. I have funded already. Also I just got another admission for a later date but I’m well invested on the one with 26 September we deadline

You can do it twice...

olatunji1187:
Please do we have people in the house who have funded their Fintiba account with new amount? How did you go about it from Nigeria.

I opened domiciliary account, and intend to make the transfer through it, but I heard that the maximum amount u can transfer once is 9000 Euro. Meanwhile Fintiba insist that the transfer must be made once (10450 Euro), else some additional documents will be required which may evenctually delay the process because of verification.

Congratulations!!!

Jamez91:
Let me drop dis here........ first post in naira land

Interview... 21 may 2019

Funded.... 28 June 2019

Am....... 29 July 2019

Visum .... today

Course ...... msc economic Friedrich schiller university...

D process was nt easy but God made everything possible

I observed the vo is able to see what category one booked. Imagine what will happen if they notice you booked two different categories. It is possible but it is a big risk.

vickmor002:
Please can someone book appointment with cat B after he or she has an AD in cat A.

Will it affect the AD of cat A?

Any negative consequence ?

It's feasible.. try fund before the interview(don't use SL) and start preparing for your travel. You might have to travel few days after getting your visa

LexRE:
Hello House. How feasible is it to get a visa with an enrollment deadline of 26th September and AD for 20th August

Problem? Your interview would still hold even without funding...go with the funding confirmation you got from fintiba for your interview. If the embassy requires the balance(which I learnt would take effect from Sept 1), you would be informed by mail or your vo would tell you to pay the complete balance and send via mail. Be rest assured your interview would go on with or without the complete fund but your visa application wouldn't be fully processed if not provided when/if required

Rhockie:
@Fabcool, Could you please help me understand.

I have paid 9k already to Fintiba and they've given me the visa documents , i just found out about the increment.
Would it be a problem because i don't think I'll be able to raise the remaining before the interview date.

SL processing takes long, it's best to submit before AM

Larox:
Greetings Nairalander,

If someone summits BA open confirmation in an interview and also sign the agreement to fund, later on when he get a SL, can he go to the embassy to summit the SL before AM? of he should wait for AM before summiting the SL?

Thanks.
