Can you please share how many months your SWOP application took?

Uzomachukwuu:
My study permit application had Review Required about a month or so before it was approved.

RR summarily means: Hey, I'm done processing your application; but just wait a bit for a senior immigration officer to look at it and give the sign-off.

In most cases, applications designated RR end up being approved. In worst case scenario, it might change to Interview Required, and/or to Refused—which is not usually the case.

Fingers crossed! �

johnstan:


I have seen different timelines on this thread overtime.
From 1 week to 2 weeks and some past 2 weeks.
I think drop off VFS location contributes to the timeline difference.
Sent mine to VFS Lagos and got a mail from them stating that it had been received and sent to VFS Abuja for processing.

Thank you. Is it better I do drop off?

Please anyone knows how many days to receive stamped passport back after submission?

Hello, please I need some advise. I have ppr but I applied from a different country. I actually have to be in Nigeria in some weeks. I am scared of submitting my passport here and not getting my passport when I plan to travel to Nigeria. I want to confirm if I can submit my passport in Nigeria for stamping. Please, thank you.

I understand this. I am studying Computational mechanics in Germany, TUM. The German standard is really high. You have to give a lot of time to learning.

Ayohbk:
Hello everyone ,
I decided to document my journey to being a full stack web developer on nairaland in order to keep me on my toes, get contributions from people with various level of experience in this field or programming in general on this platform, improve my writing skill and also have support and encouragement during the down times.

I finished my bsc about 6 years ago, decided to venture into ecommerce which really paid well, and i only learnt basic html, css and some wordpress along the way. Last year, i decided to tow the career path and i am currently doing my masters in computer science at a university in germany. The past one year has been a rollercoaster academically because of my poor programming skills. I don't know if its because of the fact that i have been out of the system for too long or because of poor background or german's high standard, it has been really tough. All the nigerians here and even the indians are complaining. Unlike Nigerians, some indians that could not cope returned back home, while most Nigerians decided to focus on hustling. Here in Germany, they believe you know so much so they don't really bother to ask or even teach basics . I had to change my OS to Ubuntu ( me that i have only used windows all my life),literally all our work is done through the unix commandline (i don't know why decide to make life wey don hard already, harder when we can just do these things on UI ) learn git and git hub, they use Latex for documentation( me wey i still dey manage microsoft word). So many new stuffs to learn in a short time, i would say i was poorly prepared for the masters(man was still hustling till the day i comot 9ja, no time to brush up). Our courses too, we jump from one programming language to another . For someone with a poor programming background like me it was tough. Right now i feel like i am getting my academic groove back (hustling don dey comot my blood) and i am beginning to enjoy learning.

After being confused for so long on what to do and how to start, I decided to focus on web development which has really been my interest for a long time. There is a lot of job opportunity for it here also. I have had many false starts, which is why i decide to create this thread to push me and keep me focused. With the mindset of "what is worth doing at all, is worth doing well", i need y'all contribution , opinion and assessment.


I want to be a full stack developer . I currently have intermediate level knowledge of HTML and CSS. I am trying to learn javascript now, i got a course on udemy (the course contains tutorials on HTML;CSS, Javascript, Bootstrap, MongoDB, Express, React, NodeJS) ,i also have eloquent javascript book pdf and linkedinlearning javascript course , i hope these can get me to intermediate level knowledge of javascript in a month. Any other suggestion is welcome. After that, i intend to move to NodeJs and then ReactJs, i hope the udemy course will get me to a certain level in these two and as i proceed i will get additional courses to that. I hope to get to intermediate level in NOdeJS and ReactJS in 3 months, is this timeline feasible?


After the next 3 months, i will like to be able to apply for frontend web development jobs with no fear or doubt. For now i really do not know how to proceed with the back end part but i will probably follow the part on the udemy course i got .

I also noticed that most job offers here require for knowledge in at least one of the OOP languages. C++/JAVA /PYTHON. This has really been one of my headaches to, i am always confused on which to specialize on or study in depth. My project group work is a C++ project, a C++ class was held this semester for bachelors students but we were allowed to join. I joined but it almost drove me crazy. Most of our courses are a lil bit java inclined. I find a little bit of affection for python more, because its literally everywhere and people say it is easier to learn . This has really been a sticky point for me, i don't know which to choose. . Hopefully someone here can point me in the right direction.

So many stories writen down already, i hope you guys bear with me. I am looking to improve my writting skills too. The first reason is, i have noticed during my project group work that it seems i can write well or i have a good command of english. . We are a group of 9 , about four of them are good at C++ programming or programming in general so they are easy to identify on the group since all the meetings within the group and between the supervisors have been online. I also notice that apart from those four, I am the only other person that stick out too and that is because of my contributions to the design document. I literally make the final decision on every thing that goes into the design document. I feel i need to improve on my technical writing and writing in general as that will be the thing that will make me pass the 20 units project work . So i intend to contribute more to this forum, quora, and some other tech forums. The second reason is that , most times especially during this project work i have these many ideas in my head but i find it difficult to express them in technical terms. I will explain them to my friend who is on the same group, then he will present during the group meeting and tak all the glory . Most times when i try to make a presentation, i go to the toilet 20 times before the meeting starts, then my ideas just get all messed up in my head that i start doubting myself while speaking even though i have a clear picture of what i mean in my head. Being an introvert doesn't really help too, I can literally count the number of people i have spoken to in the last 10 years . This is one of the reasons i am scared of interviews too, i have never had an interview all my life except for visa . So i hope to improve on my writing and presentation skills, any opinion and suggestions on how to improve on these are welcome.


I also hope to improve on my work experience, writing my CV and saying that i have only worked for myself in the last 5 years doesn't really help my course. I hope to collaborate with people here on different projects related to the skills I am learning and other suggestions are welcome too.







Icn bin mude. I think i will stop here for now. I am looking forward to y'all contribution

Let me tag the few programmers i know on nairaland to this post. computaholicGoc , willy2000 , dolpaz talk2hb1

Dankeschön

Don't say what you don't know...My uncle also disturbs me at every opportunity..I think of how we grew up. We slept in the same room for years...Sometimes I just become a fool when he asks for help...I hope God helps me too...

Kenn55:
Sometimes i feel that a lot of stories we read on this platform are fake.

How can this be real? I don't believe that someone can be this stupid and weak. It defies all understanding.

SIR0:
I hope you are not coming home to stay here permanently.
I would like to comot for Naija soon. I don't mind going back with you because I have no one to receive me anywhere outside Naija.

Thanks in anticipation.
Safe trip!

My documents got to the alien office on the 23rd of July and I got my AM under 4weeks. Just prepare well, and give points to her, I noticed she doesn't like stories.
In all I wish us success in our endeavors

How do you know that your documents has gotten to alien office please

ayodeji481:
Yes, 4.2+/5. I am looking at a design and manufacturing related course. Thanks.

Check RWTH Aachen...your grade should make it easy for you to get admissions there...

I prefer more of fluid mechanics...I got admission to TUM Computational mechanics..I did mech also
