GOZTINO'S TRANSCRIPT Before sharing this transcript, I would like to appeal to all of you. 1. Make sure you are close to German embassy a day before the interview date, Lagos always have traffic which might delay you and when you arrive late, you will not be allowed to enter for your interview. 2. If you are a JJC in Lagos like me, make sure you ask for directions very well or go with the person you are staying with so that you won't waste time unnecessarily on the road. 3. Ask questions when you are confused on the bus to take, lagosians are always willing to direct you. 4. A day before your interview date, check your documents properly and make sure its complete... Each document should have two copies each and also hold #30,500, otherwise you will be bounced. 5. When Paulinus will be checking your documents, mind your business and don't try to assist other people that will be confused behind you, I nearly got bounced because of that. I left by 4:30am and arrived by 7:10am few minutes before Paulinus stopped admitting those for 7am. Back to the interview section. I arrived around 7:10am after almost crying on the road due to traffic and even paying for drop from Obalande. On getting to the embassy, I saw the man Paulinus shouting here and there and sending some people back at the back for being unorganized as he used to say. VO: What's your name? VO: Why are you going to Germany? VO: Why this course? VO: Why Germany? VO: Why not English speaking countries? VO: Why not Nigeria? VO: Tell me about the city your school is located and everything you know about Germany. As I was still on it, he was typing some stuffs and at a point asked me to stop VO: What do you intend to do after your studies? Goztino: I want to come back to Nigeria and use the practical experience I will acquire in Germany to establish my own Geoscience firm here and become a Geoscience consultant. VO: Don't you want to work in Oil and gas companies? Goztino: I would start my own firm and employ other graduates in other to help towards the industrialization and creation of employment in my country, Nigeria. VO: Why not start the firm now and employ the graduates now? Goztino: I would have loved to but I don't have enough practical skills and experience yet VO: Alright, that will be all. Do you have any question for me? Goztino: No sir. 43 Likes 7 Shares |

lanre88: Well, its a big risk, but life is full of risks anyway. They gave me appointment date today on 7th June. Imagine if I don't have admission letter, how I will be feeling now and if you make mistake cancel your date after appointment is given to you, omo na straight ban for 6 months be that o o o. So weigh your options well and take decision on your own and ofcus be prepared for its consequences. I booked category A and even went to the extent of ticking that I have a scholarship when I don't have knowing full well that it's a risk. If they allow me to do my interview, I smile. If they bounce me out (God forbid) for wrong category, I will even stay in the embassy and book another appointment under category B on that 7th June. Everything about life is risk. Don't play too safe always 1 Like 2 Shares |

Temiodeyemi: LOL. My brother, they don't consider all these things. Well in answer to your question, I put 7th October. Now listen, they don't give date base on all these enrolment whatever. They gave me early June probably because someone cancelled his appointment maybe because he doesn't have admission yet. Imagine how restless I will be now if I don't have admission letter and my interview is 7th June. They can move forward and backwards in appointing dates |

Goztino: I cancelled my category B appointment on Friday last week and rebooked again the same day under category A and got date today by exactly 10:20am. Appointment Date = 7th June 2019. Be rest assured that I will share my transcript here after my interview on 7th June under category A. 11 Likes |

Now make I talk my own. There is one single question I asked myself that made me cancel my Category B booking and rebooked under category A? The question is this ===Gọzie, its risky booking under category A, but is it not more risky remaining in category B and getting date on late September , When AM takes between 4-6 weeks from interview date? I couldn't answer that question, then I had no option than to cancel. They are still appointing dates to those that booked on 6th May and some of them was even given 2nd August. Remember those that booked on 7th May overplenty. When it took them July and August to finish dates for those that booked on 6th May, then probably it will take August and September to finish dates for those that booked on 7th May, then let's assume you get interview date on 15th September, add extra 4-6 weeks to it before your AM arrives and that is 15th October if it arrived on exactly 4 week interval. But ask yourself, what if your AM comes in 5 or 6 week time after your interview? When will your school start? When is your enrolment deadline? These are the analysis I did and cancelled my Category B booking and rebooked under category A. Please do your own analysis well and stick to it. 5 Likes 1 Share |

Basalt come and see the problem you just caused. Someone booked under category B on 7th May, then after this category argument and calls, he canceled his appointment in category B and booked a fresh one under category A. Then on getting to this place and seeing Basalt posts, he cancelled the category A booking and went back and booked under category B now he sent me private message asking me that he is contemplating booking canceling again and booking category A . Abeg make una die this matter na. Some people dey in hot soup already 1 Like |

Please I saw this under category B booking and I couldn't understand it at all. Please gurus in the house, help me interpret this vague sentence because it's so scary. Does it mean they are aware that there will be a long waiting period for those that used category B? And reseting it by September when most enrolment deadline is on 30th September. I am contemplating canceling my category B appointment and rebooking with A During the long waiting period for B-list appointments, many students change their plans and do not show up at their assigned appointments. Therefore we will reset the B-list registrations at the end of September and at the end of March before the beginning of the new semester and delete all at that time existing B-list entries.New registrations will be possible again from the beginning of October / April. 1 Like

Guruindahouse: Good evening guru himself, I just stumped on the thread and I have been reading it since morning, by God's grace I will be in Germany this year for my Msc in applied Geoscience at RWTH Aachen University,Germany. Normally Germany gives you 18 months to look for jobs related to your course and immediately you get one, your road to permanent residency just got activated. From the information I get, getting a professional job after Msc ain't easy, that's why I have started learning their language online while in Nigeria and I plan going into IT field in order not to carry all my eggs in one basket. Which of these IT field is needed in Europe and won't be hard to learn? I am contemplating going into networking as I have no experience in programming and really, it appears so boring to me |

jbonito:At the bolded 1. Not everyone wanna do PhD, and from what I heard, after your PhD in Germany, you become overqualified for most job vacancies and you must get job that requires PhD before you get your blue card to work in Germany. I heard that you cannot do PhD and get an Msc job (I don't know the authenticity of that information) , you must get PhD job with a particular salary scale or get back to Nigeria after post graduation grace. 2. Almost everyone wanna study a course that is in demand in Germany, but one's Bsc limits him on the course he can apply for Msc unless you wanna start afresh from Bsc. Example, you can't have Bsc in Botany and then Msc in electrical and electronic engineering. So your Msc is always in line with your Bsc and therefore you don't really have choice to select the best course for Msc if that course is not in line with your Bsc education 1 Like 1 Share |

willy2000: When I say I want IT knowledge know that something prompted me to say that (I no dey like carry last for anything I dey do). Someone mentioned ComptiaA+ and N+ Certifications and from my little research, I found out that It’s about teaching you to fix simple computers software and hardware issues. CompTIA A+ is about teaching you enough knowledge to get an entry-level job or intern in the IT field. Something like a help desk is what to expect after the CompTIA A+. Do you know about it? willy2000 pompido 1 Like |

pompido: According to German system for permanent residency, the student should get job related to course of study for permanent residency. If that is the case, it means you must get job related to your Msc degree not programming before you can be considered for permanent residency? Please this is just a question, I will really want people to clarify this point. My priority is to follow every possible path to get permanent residency irrespective of the initial payment |
