No harm mailing both

chocboi007:
Hallo leute, it's been over 6 weeks since my visa interview and I am getting anxious, if I want to inquire about the status of my application, do I mail the foreign office of my school or the embassy here in Lagos?
N.B my interview was on May 29, B.A funded 3 days after the interview due to bank delay and the deadline is October 4th.

They would ask for it 4-8weeks after your interview if successful
4-8 weeks after your interview, if successful, you would receive a mail(AM) asking you to forward your international passport and travel health insurance.

Boss733:
Anybody please reply.
Why are they not collecting the international passport original booklet at the embassy during interview? Or when will they ask for it.

If he already has date with CAT B, he should go ahead with it, if not then he could cancel the B and stick with A

luminouz:
Are u sure
The guy should have registered A,but did B(bachelor's is a very strong 2:1),admitted for masters too

He panicked and just registered for A again!!!!

Please,which of the two should he cancel ooooo?
He is a newbie to all these

Well the booking portal is still working perfectly, so just book and be hopeful, if u v booked already then commit it all to God and hope for the best. Embassy does this almost every winter and still release dates

Anuch:
Good day all. I will like to know what the embassy is saying about AD. Are they saying they no longer give dates to new bookings or to both ppl that have booked earlier and to those intending to book.

Personally, I would book with Oct 30

mayorflexzy:
Good morning great men and women in the house. Please, I booked to get a since June 27, but I've not gotten a date. I read that some people booked last week and used Nov 1 as start dates and they got dates for Sept 23. Should I cancle and rebook? My enrolment period is Sept 13, but could be extended to October 30. Please help a brother out.

Many thanks

[sub][/sub]Their is an option for "other schools"

Cashmanbreeze:
Hello guys, so I tried opening a blocked account with Fintiba but my school is not on the options on the list.
Please how do I go around this?

No issues at all

luminouz:
If someone erroneously chose Cat.B but actually belongs to A...what is to be done

Yea, you are on track also add a copy of your visa receipt too

alaafyn:
Hello guys,

I am sending my SL hardcopy to the embassy. From previous readings, I realized I could send through courier specifying my name and visa application number on it. Could anyone kindly help me shed more light on this, of anything else I should do. I don't wanna make any mistake.

Thanks.

It takes 4-8weeks generally(could be more could be less). A lot of factors could result to getting your visa late and also getting it Earlier
I know someone going to Hamburg that has gotten AM already and someone going to same Hamburg that has been waiting for over two months now. You can't predict exactly how long cause a lot of factors are involved. Just work with the general period (4-8weeks)

okechukwujames6:
Guys please is there anyone here who can shed some lights on how long it takes to process the visa after interview for someone going to Hamburg, just want to have an idea cos of deadline wahalla. Please help to answer if you can.

You are on track..
Start serious prayers on getting appointment date. I noticed hamm enrollment deadline is August(and I guess thats what u used as start of study when booking) if u miss getting date this July then....

vickmor002:
Good morning my people, my people.
Please I need your urgent advice, I got my AL from the university of applied science, Hamm Lippstadt, Bsc.
I quickly applied for visa appointment under category A, owning to the fact that I already have my 1st degree with 2nd class upper.
Please, will there be any issue using category A, since am not going for masters now?

Has people excelled through this before??

I got reference no, although still planning for extension.

Since the school already Confirmed your admission you should book for appointment ASAP. I would advise you send a mail to the school if you enrollment can be extended to Nov(then use the extended enrollment deadline as start of study while booking)

If your bachelor's falls btw 1stclass to 2nd class lower, then book A if not book B
Yes, you can attend your interview without funding your block account. You just go with the Transfer information document(you would get this file(PDF) after opening the block account, it contains your account details) but I would strongly advise you block your account before the interview to avoid any delay on your visa processing
Letter of motivation should be handwritten neatly on an A4 paper

hapiday:
Hello House, Please I am new to this german student visa stuff, i have been selected for a Msc program already, now waiting for my admission letter which the university promised to send next week. the program is starting on 21st October,
Please do i have to wait for the letter before boking a visa appointment ?
While booking, which category should i choose - A list or B?
Should my letter of motivation be typed or handwritten?
Can i apply when I have not funded my Blocked account?
I will appreciate very info i need to make this a success

Please I seriously need your guidiance...

Daad.de bro, with proper search there you would get what you want within minutes

enigbon:
if you also know any schools that accepts tuition fee in the range of 1000 euro and still open, it will be appreciated too

Both
They have German VOs, they have Nigerian VOs

shantelleasante:
Theses VOs in the Nigerian German embassies are they usually Germans or Nigerians?

Signing in
Success to everyone excepting

Print out the mail from the embassy confirming you can do your interview with it(just in case). Tho you wouldn't have any problem am sure.. The appointment mail ends with Paulinus.

stephanie94:
Good morning guys, there is an issue that is seriously bothering me. All I need is your advice.

Due to my low cgpa, I decided to channel all energy into applying to both bachelors masters courses. I got the Bsc AL first and I booked appointment for bachelors category B, and I later got a date. Now I have masters admission and I'm so excited about the course and school but I don't know if can use my Bsc AD to go for my masters AL. I asked the embassy if I can use my bachelors appointment letter for my masters interview and they told me to go ahead that I have no problem. But considering whats going on with appointment date scarcity, can there be an issue on the day of my interview even as the embassy has given me go-ahead to use the bachelors category B appointment date for my Msc interview.

Please I really your input.

Baba congrats!!!!!!!
Been a long ride !!

Chriswazo:
Wow. is AM guys.

Testimony loading.

God thank u

congratulations to you campichristian and deutschMariano, AM following shortly

Simple!!

fibe:
Someone suggested "we all should put calls through to the embassy, make them aware of our ordeal and tell them the possible solution to it. They should format the booking system and leave only those that have their interview in the duration of 1 week"

This is one sided. Mind you most people with AD have AL. (,correct me if I'm wrong)

For those who are canvassing for our voices to be heard. I Still feel if you have any issue contact the embassy not making plea for a public rant. Im not sure if granting visa is a fundamental human right.

People who have passed through the system are suggesting for a calm approach. I guess their period was more demanding than this. We are all under pressure but let's be rational before making decisions that will mar future prospects

My opinion.

I greet you
What about Siegen(NRW), Frankfurt and Bayreuth

computaholicGoc:
Hannover is a bigger and better city not too far from Hamburg another big shot city.

But the course of study could be determinant.

Happy Saturday! ..with a smile..

Nope u can't
Four-eight weeks

evergreen9:
So I can't tell the bank to send the money back directly to me?

Also for those who have done their interview, how many days after the interview are you normally expected to hear back from the embassy regarding the status of your visa application / approval?

Sweet transcript
Congrats bro!!

Magma012:
On this day I write my visa transcript....

Bro people over there sell there euro far less than what aboki sells.

clintonsparkz:
Don't think so, I told my German friend to help me check, he found this.


I feel it's cause of the bank charges


modified: Found it difficult to upload attachment, it was 1euro=406N

And you would get cheaper rates compared to buying from aboki

clintonsparkz:
Boss how is funding block account from Germany cheaper than funding here in Nigeria, is it just about the bank charges?

Haa. Have responded oh..since!
Check your Spam

vivianobas:
Fabcol please I sent you a PM yesterday. I need your advice on a personal issue.

Respond to my PM biko nu.

Statement of purpose / motivation letter

Timmie083:
Please what does SOP means?

Sure its even cheaper but 100% at your risk if you don't know the person
N/b- if for any reason you decide not to go to Germany again the funds would be sent bk to the account(s) that made the transfer

evergreen9:
Can I use someone in Germany to find my blocked account? any recommendations?

Its shouldnt be .. But stop laminating

Eromose08:
Please guyz some of my documents are laminated, hope it's not an issue when I go for my interview?

Its not advisable to staple, paper clip is better. Oga Pauli will arrange and staple in his own way(there is a way he staples the application forms and put other documents inside)..
even if you stapled other documents don't staple the application forms

Philfit:
Are we allowed to staple?
And if we have already stalled would we be sent out?

Amen!!

amihbkt767676:
God pls make it easier for us!!!
May our efforts not be in vain, no matter how little.
Let AL flow,
Let Appointment date follow
May we be favoured during d interview
Provide money for the BA O Lord!!
AM will hit our mails
We go collect Visa with joy!!
We will travel and show the europeans that Nigerians are good people and also part of God's creation.
We graduate and come back and change this country for good.
We trust in You ALMIGHTY, we will not be disappointed

Use the checklist, but put the two photocopies behind its original so accessing both the original and photocopy would be easy when a document is called out

For sop.. Your address on the top right, while the embassy address on the left

Greatgrace19:
Hello nairalanders, How do I arrange my documents when going for my interview at the German embassy.

Thanks
