And I pity any of you that will contact the person that wrote that fake story of a man of God praying for his visa to come out. So many gullible people or his accomplices are already quoting him and thanking God for mercies.

God. What a generation of mentally and psychologically defeated slobs. If your documents are complete and you followed due process, what other magic do you need to get visa?

So many inconsistencies in that very useless story but I will leave it for another day. God threw down money from heaven to his bank account. grin grin

Who doesnt know that you are trying to scam people? So they will pm you for the man of God to pray for them too. At some certain amount of course which will ruin them the more.

Anyways, Nigerians are mostly gullible fools who are overtly religious. You may succeed in getting some iddiots though.

I believe all you've written is just pure ignorance on your part; your basic lack of experience from the perspective that Life is war.

Peace out.

3 months?

That's probably the longest period I've heard of. Sorry to ask but was anything the matter?

And around when was your interview?

Thanks.

Thank you for your apt reply, do you mean to say, when one apply for a visa, you'll have to wait for one year before decision is being granted? Thanks

No.

If you belong to Category B, after your appointment booking on their website, you'll have to wait for almost or more than a year before you are given an appointment date.

At least, that's what their website says.

I hope this helps someone

Timeline

Mar 31 - I cancelled my previous booking

Apr 1st (0:05) - resubmitted for Category B

Same first week of April - requested for a new admission letter from school since I deregistered the previous semester due to lack of concentration from online studies and woeful exam (p:s I don't like bad records)

Second week of April - got new admission letter for winter 2021

April to September - I kept hoping for appointment

September 15 - Enrollment for new semester started, but I ignored

October 8 - Miracle happened I received mail from the embassy for appointment

October 9 - I cancelled my vacation trip to Tanzania because I won't be back on the appointment date given by the consulate (devil wanted to double cross me but God no gree)

October 9 - I sent mail to school I wanted to pay for enrollment because I sincerely gave up on the quest. The school told me deadline was October 14

October 10 - I sent money

October 14 - Money hasn't been confirmed (see devils at work)

October 14 - I started sending mail and copied both necessary and unnecessary people from my school. Ema je ki owo jona meaning don't let my money burn.

October 15 - I was given a favourable response that the deadline won't affect me since I told them I have made the payment (yet my mind wasn't at rest)

October 18/20 - Enrollment letter was issued

Nov 5 - Appointment date (something unusual happened; The interviewer told me my block account wasn't fully funded)

Ahhhhhhhhhhh I felt like crying. Although I funded 10600 euros which was more than the stipulated amount because I had a premonition of something like this. Yet I was given a shocker...let me explain what happened!

After registering my fintiba account in 2019 (so you now know I have been on this for 2 years) the embassy initial started with 8600+ euros then moved it up to 9600+ then again 10233 I guess. My fintiba block account read 10233 as the blocking contract which I wasn't even aware it has increased to 10382 euros (if I am correct)

After the interview the BO told me to quickly make the necessary changes within 7 days (she didn't believe I funded fully)... On leaving the Consulate I switched my phone on and started browsing to confirm where the error was, I made the required changes to the blocking contract and immediately sent a mail to the consulate explaining what happened.

Note: I won't talk about my issue with Mr Paulinus...That man ehn!!!

Nov 16 - The embassy sent a mail I should forward my updated blocking contract which I did almost immediately

Another round of silent days I kept calling once every two weeks

December 16 - Approval Mail came and request to send my passport and travel insurance. I forwarded it same day through FedEx

No response again ahhhhhhhhh this people

December 23 - Got a call while eating amala from a courier man, I initially thought it was jumia ....lol but when he said from Ger....man I stood up immediately.

I received my Visa and my original documents

December 27 - I left Nigeria via Lufthansa (I don't want to hear say lockdown hook me for Naija)

December 28 - I arrived Deutschland

All Glory To God

Although it took two years but it eventually worth the wait.

In addition: while looking for alternatives I got:
2 Admissions in US (One with Tuition Waiver)
4 Admissions in UK
Sat for IELTS within one week of preparation ( Scores 7.5)

Can somebody shout hallelujah!!!



Praise God!!!

I really rejoice with you.

Nice write-up too, well detailed. Thanks.

Good evening all, i got my AD a few days back, i bless God for that. On the checklist i saw up "Upto date Admission letter" the question is, the admission letter i got in 2020 is it still valid? Or should i request for another from the school?.

And another major thing that has been bothering me is that i deferred my admission some months back after giving up hope on AD two semesters online and inability to write exams and the online classes where becoming too tiring. My request was granted and I was given until winter semesters 2022 to resume to avoid losing my admission cause i told them about the visa issues and how i could no longer cope with the online lectures. My main question is will this affect my visa interview or process? I already wrote to the school but due to the festivities i have to wait until
January 3rd to get a response. Please any info will help

I believe the admission letter needs to be given to you just once.

Deferment only happens when you've been offered admission. So I'll say that that admission letter is sufficient. Just answer the embassy appropriately should they ask any questions related to it.

And by the way, are you going for B.Sc or M.Sc, and when did you book?

If I talk now they’ll start thinking someone is a scammer.
Just a suggestion; it’s cheaper to get a sponsor than do block account. But if you have the funds, you can go ahead.

But really, how does your giving someone advice on choosing either SL or BA make you look like a scammer?

My doubts about you are way heightened right now.

Plus, accounts don't just get banned here anyhow. Either you're being punished for using them wrongly, or you have too many accounts and you've forgotten the password for that one. grin

It's not nice to scam people. Just saying, though. smiley

I have booked category B since 6tt April
Is it possible to still use the booking for summer next year.

Or should I cancel and nook for next year because my start date is October

I don't think you should cancel it. Just leave it till when you get called cause canceling it will put you at the end of whatever list there is as at now.

To God Be The Glory.

Category-B

Booked appointment-1st April 2021 by 12:01am

Appointment invitation e-mail-8th July 2021

Appointment date-6th August 2021

Approval e-mail-5th October 2021

Visum-15th October 2021

My own visa processing lingered because i did the summer semester online in Nigeria,so the consulate requested for proofs in the form of-
(i.)an up to date enrollment certificate/letter from my school,showing that my enrollment is still active.
(ii.)transcription of records ie to show what i've actively done in my course of study from the day of enrollment/the day lectures started.That is,lecture notes,tests,experiments,assignments,if possible exams.

I forwarded all these to them as pdf on the 14th of August after they requested them on the 9th of August,setting 30th of August as the deadline for submission.

On 3rd September i received an e-mail from them saying that they've not received any document(i guess the mistake was from me because i didn't follow the replying sequence of the e-mails sent by the consulate,which have my visa code/number already.I sent the e-mail as a fresh one without the code.So,it was hard for them to know it was me) and i was given 7th of September as the last deadline to do so.

That same 3rd September,i forwarded the soft copies to them through the e-mails that have my visa code/number and hard copies at the consulate on the 6th of September.

And it dawned on me that it was that 6th of September that the processing of my visa application really started after having my interview over a month and hoping for an approval e-mail.

My advice-please,if your school is going online and you couldn't secure a visa that semester,join them and keep your evidences,because your successful visa application depends on the proofs that you really participated.The German consulate isn't joking about this.Infact if you did a semester online in Nigeria,include those aforementioned documents with others and submit them on your interview day to avoid delay in the processing of your visa.

All the best!
See you in Germany!!

Any idea what happens if one's Start date passes and he hasn't been given a date yet. Will he still get a date when his waiting period is due?
