Hello, Futurewise, Nice with the way you're prudent. Please, am holding an offer with a university in germany buh am having an issue on getting d visa. All I need now is a valid sponsor who's in germany that could do the declaration on my behalf or the #2m to open the blocked account which I don't have up to that. You see, what I have is what most re looking for and what am looking for is what most have.
I've already differ the offer once and can't afford to differ it again. Hope to read from you soon. Thank you.

If you have someone in Europe they can help you with the obligation. It must not be only from those living in Germany. Most of my guys sponsor who their sponsor are living in UK has help them got and it was accepted cos that obligation is issued by German Embassy but Nigeria Embassy has told me they don't issue it as they cannot confirm our payslip and other factors.

Here is the email they sent me last year on behalf of my friend who I helped made inquiry


opening times for formal obligations are Monday-Friday from

8.30-11.00am only (last entry 11:00am)

You own those two IDs?

I help people book for appointment and seek for admission too. so when i get any infor that will help the house, i post it here.

Dear Sir,

The next available date for Interview is 19th October.

Please be informed that due to the high demand on student visa appointments we are fully booked. I will therefore book your appointment but you will bear any consequences that may result due to delay as your school enrollment deadline is 20th October.


We regret not to have a good news for you and only advise you to apply for visa appointment early enough next time.


Thank you for comprehension.

Hi guys. Sorry it has been quite a busy day. A guy from Nairaland was with me and we had studied a bit deutsch together.

About the Family reunion thing, there are two types. Family reunion for spouse(without kids) and just married, and one for the spouse and children.
While living and working legally in Germany , ur spouse and children normal have the right to a residence permit in Germany. On rare occasions, such as pregnancy or small children u can also apply for a permit while already I Germany (on a tourist visa) .
If the spouse was ever in Germany or any schengen state it makes it even easier to get the visa.
With regards to the application u might have seen the things u need online. With the said documents, u would have to go to Lagos for an interview . This interview is short and really sometimes doesn't matter if u fail( it's ur right to get the visa) if denied u can even get a lawyer depending on what reasons u were given.
The spouse in Germany has to have enough living space if u are moving with children and a good job. The interviewer might ask u little questions about your relationship though.
1. When did u meet ur spouse?
2: when and where did u have ur first date?
3: how much does he/she give u for ur upkeep?
4: how long was the courtship before the marriage?
5: is this an arranged marriage?
6: do u speak German?
7: a small oral test will be done by him or her just to be sure that u have atleast a1 in German.
8: what city are u moving to?
8: when was ur spouse born?
Sometimes they ask some irrelevant questions depending on how u reply to previous questions.
After submitting All original documents of all documents including primary school cert as well as immunization card, they might still ask for a letter from the hospital u were born stating that ur birth certificate is authentic.
Within 2-3 months later a lawyer is sent by the German consulate to inquire about u with regards to the documents u have presented. He/she might come to your house and also that of the witnesses to the marriage, previous schools attended and hospital u were born. After this is over, the reports and advise of the lawyer is submitted to the embassy. The embassy then sends all these info to the aliens authority and marriage registry in ur intended city. They normally should be a notification that ur verification is complete if not, contact the embassy and find out.
The spouse in Germany should then contact the aliens office in ur city to find out the official handling ur case. This person should be bothered otherwise u might even wait a year for ur files to be opened. Both the spouse in Germany and the partner in Nigeria should have the mail of the person in charge.
The office of ur aliens office will contact ur spouse to come for an interview with them. He/ she will be asked questions which u were asked. They should correspond otherwise they might think it is a scam and then it takes even longer. After this is done, in a few weeks u should get a mail from the embassy that ur visa is approved. It's a three months visa. When u arrive in Germany u must book an appointment with the aliens office and go there to register that u are now in the city. U will need a letter from ur landlord stating that it is ok for the family to live at his house and bla bla bla. U can mail the landlord about it before hand. U will then apply for the residence permit which u will get in a few weeks after ur arrival. I hope this helps. It's quite a long process and it's hard to explain. Email me though if u need more info. Regarding anything.

Can the wife of a student work?

Who knows any bank in Nigeria that has one of the lowest exchange rate compares to other banks that charges exorbitant rates?

This is what the Embassy is now sending out to those booking appointments now.

Dear Sir!
Thank you for your email.

Your admission letter states that your study starts on 5 of October, 2015.
The next available date for student visa appointment is September 29th. The student visa processing time takes 4-6 weeks.
You will be late for your studies and I would therefore advise you to contact your university and see if it is possible to defer your admission to the upcoming summer semester 2016 so you have sufficient time to credit your blocked account and apply for your visa.

However, if you insist, we will of course give you a student visa appointment nevertheless, but note that it will be waste of your money and time.

My form A experience today with Union Bank Festac town, Lagos
Due to delays by GTBank, I decided to switch banks. Got to the Union bank last Tuesday, upon up a savings account and initiated the Form A transaction. Got a debit alert today for the total sum BUT AT A WHOPPING EXCHANGE RATE OF 231.50 NAIRA FOR 1 EURO. I have already placed a call to the officer and he told me politely he doesn't like dealing with official issues after working hours but that he's sure that is the right exchange rate. From experience I am aware that CBN Form A transactions should be treated with the CBN prevailing rate of that day which as at today stood at 219 Naira for 1 Euro.

My question is, for those who have done theirs, how much exchange rate was used for your transaction? I need answers because I am heading right back to the bank 1st thing on Monday for explanations. I need to make a good case that's why I your contribution.
Thank you all in advance.

This includes bank charges too and talex fee, You should be happy your form A worked cos other could abd were buying euros at 268 anf you goy 230.5 so be grateful

@kuthvis....kleve dey very boring but in as much you are here to study..just face am ...but it will be advisable for you to live in kleve because engineering course hard and needs you to be on campus most times...as for jobs...if you speak german ..you will be lucky...i came here without one naira for german..i sill dey suffer am ...so just try come first then if you do not like the environment then you can transfer to another university.....but if we have plenty naija guys here...we know how to make it lively ..

You came wey no dey pay fee without money and you said you still dey suffer am how come you want go Canada wey dey pay school fees? I saw ur comment on Canada thread. You go carry school fees go there? No where easy Kunle.. just focus... if the Engineering hard you just change program to what you can do here then move to Canada for master or PR. Complete what you have started. You are studying fully in English.

omooba2015:
Ok, good talk, can I have the link sharp sharp... There p.g se na free of charge...

PGD and Colleges no dey here ooo Only Bachelors or Masters. No joke with Germany oohh. Bachelor is 3 years while master varies from 1- 1 and half or maximum 2 years.

Studies na free here from kindergarten to PHD level, You can work and transport is free for you too. Abeg no too tell people ohh before them go bomberd their Embassy that time the visa go kon begin hard like Canada own.... lol

handyteddy:
I just went to peek on the germans on their thread AND
I think there gonna throw me a welcome parry

@daudugodswill check them out, there bunch of fantastic guyz there... they can help with your german studies intention

Yes Germany has no PGD. They have direct masters and they assign you supervisor unlike Canada where you must secure your own supervisor. Information is powerful. check here for any program of your choice click this site and type in your program of interest

handyteddy:
Nigerians in Norway are few, and you'll want to avoid countries like that.
Germany is better, but there is language barrier and like you said racism is a major problem especially for a minor

If you have the funds you can seek admission in LITHUANIA:
kaunas university of technology

IRELAND:
griffith college dublin
national university of ireland

LONDON:
london metropolitan university

...if you pay your fees, you'll have little problems

BUT

My best advise is to tackle the problems you have with CIC and refire, you have a upper hand

Get a Mentoring Service from
www.sasscanada.com

Get a detailed SOP with a long term prospect
Just let us know if you really wish to REFIRE,, we'll help you with your documentation

Ps: avoid using agent, most re inexperienced
Good Luck

I am studying in German and have also visited Canada from here. Stop all this racism talk which i have never experience here. Canada that is not racist why have they not given you free tuition like Germany?

thesoj:
The Nairaland German travel thread will be a better place to ask this question. In any case, my understanding is that south and west Germany are really good places for International students (including Africans). East Germany can be a whole different story however (except maybe Berlin, Leipzig, and a few others). I sometimes follow the Nairaland German thread as I have a family member in Naija also eyeing it as a backup plan to Canada. Plus Germany has no tuition and they require you have just 8040 Euros per year for living expenses. Also international students have work permits, just like in Canada. And I hear it is easy to get a work permit and job after graduation especially if you are in the sciences or engineering.

Germany has many English language masters programs, but much fewer such undergrad programs except in a few science subjects. Go to daad.de/en and search. The German thread is incredibly good... the ogas there like @eke40seven (he is doing his MSc in Germany) will answer your questions.

I tried Canada with no positive outcome on visa. I was suppose to pay 14 dollars school fees in Canada. When somebody told me I can even study in Germany with English and is 100% free of charge plus free public transport and train, I rush apply for German student visa and admission and today I have no regret. I work and send money home rather than using the money to pay school fees. Information is power.

scofield03:
woww.. thanks, I never thought in that direction. I have two peeps that can help in Germany but, will I be able to get a telex for the transaction so as to show my Naija banks (sounds ridiculous) and will they accept it? thanks again

Do you need talex to pay in into their naira account in naija while they withdraw it here in Euros thru their ATM Card?

adNEXT:
Good day guys, please does any1 hav a link of universities offering Masters in engineering(English) to apply come 2016. I ll b grateful to hear from any1. Keep the good work guys!!

Ravensburg weingarten University---Electrical engineering and information technology

scofield03:
M y fellow #team bremen. I hope you have paid your semester fee. I have been disappointed by our Nigerian banks ooo. Read my story:

I went to a nearby access bank branch in ikorodu to pay for the semester fee last week Wednesday. After many pressure on the branch manager to initiate the transfer, he said they will initiate it, I waited till Monday evening no feedback. I headed straight to Fidelity HQ to open acct and pay the fees plus blocked account on Tuesday. Madam Adeola said the semester fee will fly' but the blocked account cannot fly' saying I need a letter from my school stating the cost of living on a letter headed paper. I had to carry on with the semester fee processing. meanwhile I sent a mail to my schools to help with the letter.
From Fidelity, I head to First Bank Headqtrs in Marina (221.78 to an euro as at Tuesday), I showed them my credentials for blocked account, they said its okay that they can make my money fly'.

This morning on my way to fidelity to enquire about my transaction, I received a mail from FBnk that my transaction was declined. Reason: they need a proof of payment of semester fee. On getting to Madam Adeola, she said they are lack of FUNDS (I don't really undstand what she meant) until they hear from CBN. meanwhile semester fee deadline is August 15th. From there I went to confirm the mail I got from First Bank by meeting the transferring officer. He said if I can provide the evidence of payment there wouldn't be issue. I considered creating a new transaction with first bank to pay the semester fee since they have funds in treasury, which I did! though fidelity own is still in process. I don't want to take any risk that's why I opened the transaction in two banks (whichever one succeed first I will stick with and withdraw from the other account). I don't know if it has any consequence.

Advice to those that are yet to fund should get all necessary document in advance especially the letter from the school.

my question is, If this transaction is not successful tomorrow (which I believe will) what will be the consequence in Bremen and do I need to let my school know situation of things? please I need your input .

@ Nellyb24 you are mouthed for securing that Earth Science admission, I fear' when I saw the 10 limited slots when I wanted to apply then.

International transfers are given extra 3 days for delays. I suggest you contact your friends in Germany, pay in the money into their naira account which we can even use our zenith bank or GTbank master card to withdraw here. Then they can help pay it here.

nellyb24:
Just got a mail from the embassy nw telling me to fund my account and send dem the confirmation.hope it all ends in gudluck

It means your interview has been approved/was successful otherwise you will receive email from them asking you to come pick up your documents. Congrats!

Ahbbiey:
I do believe that the sponsor needs to work and reside (lawfully) in Germany.

I do not think your uncles in Switzerland can write you a sponsorship letter.

If they are willing to help they can give you the funds for the blocked account and you can pay them installmentally (this is going to take a long time if they ask you to pay back).

Else there isn't much they can do for you.

The uncle can go to German Embassy in Switzerland and get the letter.

Dabigmax1:
hello guys, please I just got admitted recently on the 6th of this month. I intend to use a letter of sponsorship from someone living and working in Germany to book an appointment but the money requested by the person to process it for me is much. my uncles are citizens of Switzerland, and they ask me to find our if the German embassy in Lagos we accept sponsorship letter from Switzerland for someone in Nigeria that wants to study in Germany. pls house I need your take on this as resumption is Sep/October.

My cousin has used the one from London successfully let alone the one from bordering Swiss.

bigzzz:
Greetings house. Please I need help here! It's almost 2weeks since I applied for an interview appointment and I still haven't received a reply from the embassy. Is this a normal occurrence or am I missing something? I actually booked an interview appointment on July 29th, via the email written at the back of the account oppenig receipt just about few hours after applying for the famous blocked account at the German embassy in Lagos. And yes! I attached the 3 required files along with my appointment request. Guys what's your take regarding this issue? Please advise..

Stop complaining... Re-send the email again. full stop..

Light007:
Something is rotten in the state of Denmark!
Booked an appointment since Monday morning. Only for me to get a reply email from the German Embassy (after lodging a complaint) that my name is not in their system, that I should try again. I sent another email today, requesting an appointment. NO WORD STILL.

People please have they changed the booking email address? I used rk-visa105@lago.diplo.de

Please help ooo. Enrolment deadline is 30 September.

All appointment has been fully booked. You will only hear from them when they are able to create some appointment dates but only on first come first serve basis but the appointment date will be late as all early dates are filled up.

Light007:
PLEASE HAS ANYONE BOOKED AN APPOINTMENT THIS WEEK

SOS: NO WORD FROM THE EMBASSY AFTER MY BOOKING. IS IT TIME TO ENTER PANIC MODE?

HOUSE PLEASE I NEED COUNSEL

Since last week I have been booking appointment for my guys but no reply. It seems all appointment slots has all been filled up for now, pending when they make some available.

Alhamdulilah............
interview done but not yet dusted because i (we) have to go back tomorrow for the capturing of our biometrics as their network was down.

It was only us (4) for student visa that was interviewed.
I was interviewed by the young Nigerian Lady and the only added question apart from the normal questions we all familiar with was the party which the president and chancellor of Germany belongs to and the date they assume office.

After my interview i asked her about the issue of changing your means of sustenance from blocked account to sponsorship after been interviewed and she replied that its not possible as the application will have been processed under the condition of a blocked account.
(so anybody trying to do that should mail the embassy before hand because i believed there might be exemption).

lastly, jokingly i asked her Ma can i book for my flight ticket...,she replied that i should just hold on though she understands its cheaper to book ahead.....but i should just please hold on...

conclusion..: if you are on nairaland you can't flop this interview...
@pompido (my oga) nice meeting you today....
@Efe.....the ghost follower by His grace you will soon be unghost by the success of your Visa application...

Godwin's He always does #Teamkiel #Teamwinter

First asking her if you can book your flight after your interview does not show mature attitude and somehow reflects desperation. You should have asked her also about changing from block account to sponsorship. it implies you don't know what you want or what your are doing and shows seriousness. Remember the decision is in her hands (although in God's hands) but dont toil with visa officers.

owuzo:
Futurewiser pls i need info about University of Applied Sciences Ravensburg-Weingarten. I want to apply for the Bsc program in Elect Engineering. I read info on their site but from this thread I found that they can be differences, so if you have any info n tips on required documents. thanks

The required documents are at least your one year University transcript and o'level and filled/signed application form. Also add your CV.
