Guys yesterday I went to the embassy for my students visa interview booked under cat A and paulinus turned me back just because of blocked acct after waiting over years to get an appointment date. After all the expenses I made travelling from East to vi Lagos and at last everything ends in dissapointment upon after presenting all my proof of the transfer... receipt, bank statement and email letter from the bank. After pleading with paulinus he neglected my pleas and I was like the ground should open let me fall in. As I was leaving people ask me what happened and when I told them they said that the German consulate is the worst consulate there in Lagos. They throw people away and reject people's application for a reason or no reason. Fellow nairalanders I will advise if u dont have ur block acct better cancel earlier or don't go at all in orther not to waste ur pressures time and money.

Lol, they would send you packing.

In seriousness, it's not possible to do that. Also, the "visiting visa" is called Schengen Visa and as it stands, major European countries are not issuing that now because of Covid.

The motivational letter I asked for was for visa interview not for admission process, if you need it I will send it to you...motivational letter I got is for visa processing at the embassy

dipotol:

No, I'm using SL and I've had it since February ( it doesn't have any date of expiry on it). I didn't rebook just now, I've had AD before the lockdown and it was cancelled. I enrolled for the just concluded summer online and I finished the summer semester online ( passively though ) and I enrolled for winter again in August. So I sent a mail attaching my enrollment certificate that shows I'm a student till next year, my letter of presence, previous AD and the cancelled AD.
That was all I did.

I did all that but I believe everything was God's mercies and favour that made everything possible. So, I had faith, so much faith but my faith also led and directed me to take some steps.
This might be helpful for anyone.

It's not like in Nigeria and yes it has everything to do with PhD. In Germany you have Technical Universities(TU9 for example), normal Universities and then Universities of Applied Science.


If you are not interested in PhD, then simply go to a University of Applied Science. Universities in Germany are meant to educate future researchers, University of Applied Science aren't set up like that cause it's more practical than research based hence why it's hard to be accepted into a PhD program after going to a University of Applied Science.


A degree in a University would take you 3 years, whereas in a University of Applied Science, it's 4 years.


Also, if you did your BSc in a german University of Applied Science and want to do your masters in a normal University, you will see that in most cases you will be required to write an aptitude test or you will be rejected because you didn't do the required courses in your Bsc.

If you attend a Studienkolleg in a University of Applied Science, you are only required to apply to Universities of Applied Science afterwards.

University graduates are also paid more, although the difference isn't that much.

There's a whole lot of difference, if you research deeper. It really depends on what you want to study because in IT for example, most people would want to work after their masters so it doesn't really matter.

In the kingdom where I belong anything is possible. In 2 Kings 7:1 the word of God came "that by this time tomorrow a measure of fine flour will be sold for a shekel and two measures of barley for a shekel" there was famine at that time, so it seemed humanly impossible just as it seems for category B students. I belong to a kingdom where a mighty crowd became stranded at the face of a mighty ocean, and suddenly the ocean parted into two and they walked through dry land. Do you still want me to talk about the Jesus whom you mentioned but do not know, how that he was going to cross over to Germany, sorry I mean to the other side and there was no appointment date, sorry I mean to there was a storm and he just got up and rebuked the wind by a word "peace be still"(Mark 4:35-39).. Brother God is able to do all things only if you believe!!!

I have live in Germany for 5 years. Traverse nook and cranny of Germany. Have not seen a black doctor in Germany or black lecturer. Others might have seen but the truth is that they are very few.

flyingpig:
I appreciate the fact you guys seek info and knowledge but you all seemed to be obessessed with that danielhouston.

On another hand he did a wonderful job but on the other hand what he is doing is encouraging Nigerians and future who could have made a positive change for their motherland leave the country.

You spoke about his command of English i have uncles who went to the US in the 1970s but can still speak Ibo till now.

My sis that has stayed there over 10years speaks Ibo and English fluently so whats the hype he can write English well.

He said there is no black Doc in Germany,my uncle who also left Naija in the 70s,married whites twice is a renowned Surgeon in Germany so know he doesnt know all and he should accept that.

Hope you see the angle am coming from,have in mind his thread was educative and entertaining but everyone is entitled to his or her opinion rightly or wrongly.

Thanks.

Hi people, I'm just starting out begin the process of schooling in Germany. Where can I learn German language? Is there a free/cheap online avenue to learn?

If your school gave you a letter of presence along with your AL
Then you should send that letter to the Embassy.
Also stating if you have applied for an appointment date initially. As they require a letter of presence for visa issuance now.
