Guys I think I need HELP!!!

I submitted my passport with the embassy in the 19th of October... Meanwhile my deadline was 30th of October.

I pressured them to issue me my Visa before 30th no way. On the 30th I received a mail from the embassy to either submit an extension or withdraw my application.

I got an extension on the 31st and submitted it to the embassy on the 1st of November.

Since then, I have not heard any response from the embassy, and my deadline is 15th November...

Am very very tired and don't know how to approach this....

Any help/ Suggestions before I mad here....

Hello house, please I am in a situation, I have an admission from Gisma Business School in Berlin, enrollment in February, I have Visa appointment for December already. My brother in-law from Cameroon who is now a citizen of Germany and resides in Berlin willingly offered to write me a SL. He went to the immigration office there in Berlin and he was informed that they no longer process SL for students cos of the way it has been misused in the past but students are still using SL and embassy is still collecting it, right? Please help, what can I do?

Kryptomeniac:
Good day everyone. I need advice on my pending visa application. I went for interviewed on 17th August, AM came in on 13th of sept. My enrollment deadline was 11th oct. After my interview, I got disappointed by the person who's suppose to grant me SL. So ever since then I have been battling with a possible BA or SL to no avail. Few days before enrollment deadline I had to write my school. No room for enrollment extension, so I had to defer my admission till summer. Now I have a summer admission letter, and embassy is still having my documents expecting me to forward SL or BA for the winter. Here is my question: which will be more advisable between these two options
1) to secure the SL or BA, and forward it to embassy along with the summer admission letter and probably a travel insurance dated march 2019
Or
2) cancel my pending application with reasons, then apply afresh when all the requirements are available. And if I do this, I will like to know if there is specific time interval to reapply?

agofineboy:
My people,

The journey has not been funny for me....


Had my interview 6th September with a funded block Account....

Untill now, I haven't received an AM.

Emailed both my allien office and Federal office, they said my application has been concluded, and that the embassy will get to me.

Have sents tons of email to the embassy yet no response.

Please what should I do

dayodawodu:
Thank God AM dropped this morning. Interview on 20th of September.
please kindly give me any genuine insurance i can use and how much. i would like to go to the Embassy this afternoon.

Also pls enlighten me what this means ; " your departure should not be scheduled any sooner than at least 10 days after the posting of your envelope"

Vanessa92:
Someone should please help me out on what next to do, I got to the embassy an hour late from the original time given, I missed my appointment today due to traffic and weather condition, after receiving an A.M to come with my international passport.... I sent them a mail few hours later, asking if my appointment could please be rescheduled for a later date?

benswagtt:
Good afternoon everyone, does NOUN university grant 100level transcript? i just left their office in Jabi and d secretary said they don't... Also, i see alot of referrals via this forum telling people to apply NOUN to get 100level transcript. This view is antagonizing what the lady i met at their headquarters said... Please Prompt reply will save me a lot. Thanks in advance and God bless!

SooCute:
I'd count it "Sinful" to migrate to DE and completely ignore this house that made me. This is my base.
Yes i'm still in my first month anyway. So i'm pretty new here.

I came here because i got a few stuffs to share...just for those who didn't know already.

1. When you enter here with Block Account, Anybody that is legal and works in Europe can give you Support letter for preceding extensions/renewal . Yes. You don't necessarily need someone who lives and works in DE for that.
NB: This is the case in Bayern where i study and live....

2. Before you come here......L E A R N G E R M A N. Not as if you will die if you don't.
But imagine being hungry and don't know how to order for food?
Imagine not being able to read signs like "Entrance and Exit, Rauche oder nicht Rauche?" the list is endless...
Imagine being in a train but don't know how to tell someone to remind you when you get to your station? Because the "computer" announcing Bahnhoffs says it in German!
Imagine stepping on someone but can't say "tut mir sehr leid"?
Imagine missing your way (Which is common) and don't know how to ask or take directions? You can't yell bro..
Imagine going to grocery stores and don't even know how to ask where you can find certain thing? Or you can't read or guess-read what's on label? Your mom wouldn't be there to savage. But once you can say "Entschuldigung Sie" a typicall Deustche will reply "Bitte" then you wrap German. It might take a little for you to hear their own German, but at least, you can express yourself with your crude german and they can understand you....that's communication


3. Most of the time, the people that discriminate you (Racist) are not Germans. I can bet my rent on this. Other nationalities who came as you came do! Germans are pretty simple people from my experience. They are supper warm and welcoming....Always asking "Was kann ich fur Sie tun? Brauchen Sie hilfe?

4. If you are like us that have finished school many years and starting over....mehn....start reading again. Re-activate your brain. I mean, read reasonable stuffs that really revamps your brain. Not some Instagram posts. You need to come up to par. It will help you when you come here.

5. Normally, what's actually different is "Method". The lecturers here are fast...kinda. But you'll be fine trust me. If a dumb ass like me can answer questions in Maths, Physics and Statistics classes (Even though i had a HND in Mechanical Engineering from home) while those whites mop at me, then you should do better. Key: Don't be intimidated, don't be proud either. All of us de hustle.

6. If you are coming here with SL, Come with money that can sustain yo for some months, couple of winter suits (If you are coming during winter) and food!
Yes. I regretted buying clothes from Nigeria. It's personal. Though a bit expensive (Even though there are cheap stores), stuffs here are of standard. But imagine me coming here with no single maggi cube? I burnt cash already on food since i came.
It will take you little time to discover the economic way of feeding here especially if you are like me who doesn't have someone here to show me the way....

7. Be nice. Don't spoil the reputation of Nigerians. If you do, they will reduce our slots and God no go forgive you.
Here.....things work. The system is organized and kinda of ordered.
Germans are courteous and sehr nett. Don't come here and block another person future abeg. Don't be notorious. Its nobody's business you Say?, Hell no! It's our business how you behave. Save the innocent Nigerians reputation.

8. Studying Engineering and trying to hammer at the same sequence is almost too hard. You go fail for class. Take it easy. Don't come with high-false-hopes of "Once i enter, i am hammer ".Tell those you borrowed from to chill a while biko.
What you can earn here is about 450 Euro per Month which can cater for your basic needs...as poor man wey i be. Once you finish and land a job.....then yo can Ronaldo all you can.

9. Get prepared for the hustle. It's not what you see in pictures. Get your mind prepared. Come prepared. No one has your time here. No one cares about your show-off. Even the Mercedes that dropped me from train station to my place was intimidating. Cars are toys here unlike in 9ja.


10. About chasing women or men.... well, i haven't seen any woman yet that can take my baby's place. As long as it lasts...i will try and control myself. Ain't marrying any shitty white wife even though i am still single. It's my choice and its very possible to stay sane. Girls will kinda be nice to you (what we call green light in Nigeria) but that does not necessarily translate to them rushing you.. nahhhh. But sha if you don't have a babe down here that loves you and you love back...don't commit yourself yet. Reason is...once you land here, your taste for woman go change and almost any 9ja babe you toast with plus+four+nine dialing code go gree... u see? But sha the winter is real mehn....Chukwunna biko!

10. Pls share your experience here. Let us have many Nigerians here....the more the merrier!
I didn't have anyone pick me from Frankfurt....so that was the first point of "This is Lagos" in Germany.
I had to find my way anyway... imagine i couldn't say shit in german? habatically
I learnt german on my own anyway... i got books and audios. Don't use "Geothe is far" as an excuse. Find someone to speak to. Ignore translators...(i have my reasons.) It's better to start learning by speaking nonsense than using translators.. find someone who can learn with you or speak with you.
Find and join German learners group on Facebook,...use your spare times productively instead of watching unclad women on Insta or trying to impress your Hushpuppi (for ladies) or Kimkardianshan (for guys) with poses and posts (I am saying this to those whose passion is strong about migrating and surviving here). Set your priorities and take it one at a time. Surely when you come here...you will change..positively (maybe). You'd become more simple and more open...

Its really irrational to blame Nigerians. Youths especially. What we are or have today as Nigerians was what was made available to us and what we were exposed to. Things are really shitty in Nigeria. Come here and refine your mind. Come here and become better. Nigerians are strong people. We've learned to survive the impossible. I can't imagine spending about 30years of my life only in Nigeria and Africa....


You have the right to thrash this....It's 100% your freedom.

Alles gute.

jesujoba001:

Thank you.

Grossartig:
Is there anyone that had their interview on the 16th of August and hasn't received an email because I'm beginning to get worried.

emmanuellaiyke:
Hello all,

Does the embassy in Lagos send the passport and other documents by Post after you receive an e-mail to submit your travel health insurance or do they ask you to come and pick it up at the consulate?

Also whatever means they choose to remit the passport, do they e-mail you to inform you about it?

Thanks everyone :-)

dreyman26:
My post is a bit long.
I'll be sharing the full breakdown of my interview today so as to help others the same way some people took time to help me organize things.


I had my interview today.

So we lodged at sappers Lounge inside bonny cantonment.
Got to the embassy around 5:30am.
Waited till 6am at a computer Shop Then proceeded to the German gate and I was fourth on the line. The Mopol asked me to go and drop my bag at the car park which I paid 1.5k for the woman to help me keep it.
Came back and I was now 10th or so in the line.
Paulinus called us in fours. Asked us to put our appointment letter inside our passport data page and then we were checked in.
Then he came and asked that we should bring out passport with appointment letter inside it, the two signed application forms and he stapled them, 2photocopies of data page and 2 copies of declaration form..
He arrange those together and gave them back to me and said, don't join these with the other documents just give me back the way I arranged it. He asked us to sit down and place those sets he just arranged under our seats.
Then he later called us to stand up and collected those sets he earlier arranged by himself and separated them on a desk.
1.Data page with appointment letter inside on one side
2. A set of Application form underneath declaration form underneath photocopy of Passport data page
3. Another set of application form underneath declaration page underneath photocopy of Passport data page.

These makes 3rows.

Then he asks you to arrange other documents on each row like this,
a. Original admission letter on top of No 1 photocopies of the admission letter will be on the 2 and 3 mentioned above.

b. Original Proof of means on top of No 1, photocopies on 2 and 3

c. Original Birth Certificate on top of No 1, photocopies on 2 and 3

d. Original Biographically old document on top of No 1, photocopies on 2 and 3.

e. Originals of all academic documents on top of No 1, photocopies on 2 and 3...
Note- from primary to NYSC certificate.

f. Original handwritten Motivation letter on top of No 1, photocopies on 2 and 3.

g. CV on top of No 1,2and 3

h. Originals of any supporting documents on top of No 1, photocopies on 2 and 3.

He will come and check what you've been doing, if you slack.... You know the story, he will ask people to make way for you and move your humble self to the back of the long line.

He asked me to go inside...
After security checks, I followed a green line to the building and sat inside.
I saw a VO with low hair cut and the guy that came outside from there said the dude is good. So I began praying I get him lol...
Didn't know God was planning something else.
Waited for like 2hours, light beeped and I thought it was my low cut guy room until other people said it's the other room óò.
Yeepa I don miss my guy.
I entered the cubicle and behold it was My sister with indomie or dreadlocks hair and she's got b***s. She is pretty tho�.

VO: Hi
Me: Good morning Ma'am

VO: Bachelors, Masters, PhD?
Me: Bachelors

VO: Pass Me Your passport and all your documents.
Me: Did that.

VO: Oh! You're heading to Rhine-waal
Me: Yes Ma'am

VO: Have you done a Bachelors before?
Me: No, I did a diploma.

VO: What course?
Me: Electrical Engineering

VO: Which School?
Me: Federal Polytechnic Auchi.

VO: Oh Auchi?
Me: Yes Ma'am.

VO: What did you graduate with?

Me: No... (In my mind abi She wan toast me?)

VO: place your fingers for biometrics.
We did that.

VO: Do you have my 30,500?
Me: Yes, Here (Pushed it to her)

She gave me a paper to read and sign that I will send my blocked account confirmation as soon as I have it.


VO: OK, Pick up the phone
...................................................
Interview Proper.

VO: What's the name of your course?
Me: Mechatronics Systems Engineering.

VO: Why this course?
Me: I chose the course because of its multidisciplinary nature as it combines fields of Engineering like Electrical, electronics, mechanical, computer and control systems Engineering and this would make me more flexible and versatile in the engineering world. Also, I'm an intern a Power Generation plant in My home country... (Cuts in).

VO: You're still there?
Me: Yes Ma'am, on contract basis.

VO: Oh okay, Continue pls.
Me: And I have been able to understand and discover how Mechatronics is to the technological advancement of my country because in the department where Mechatronics Engineers are supposed to be the one in charge it is Power Engineers who have little knowledge about handling these systems that are there.... (She looks at me and was nodding all thru my speech while also typing fassssssst to catch up with me then she said hold on..)

VO: Why don't you further in Nigeria or is this course not taught here?
Me: Yes it is, but it is relatively new to the educational system and because it is highly practical, it makes students in Nigeria at a disadvantage...

VO: You mean the research facilities are not there?
Me: Yes Ma'am, the practical training.

VO: Why not UK, US?
Me: Actually my course is taught in English and it is tuition free compared to these countries though I tried US, but the tuition fee is high cos the least I found was around $20,000 a year and I will be getting this same quality of education in Germany at no cost at all. ( She was typing, nodding and side looking at me)

VO: Why Germany?
Me: German Engineering us highly regarded allover the world and there is this excellent collaboration between universities in Germany and the German national Engineering industry and therefore I will be benefitting from a very high quality academic system that requires little or no tuition fee at all compared to other countries like UK,US.....( Cuts in, hold on.... Continue) and so on and I will also be able to learn a new language, a new culture and way of life also be able to socialize with people from other parts of Germany, students from all over the world and I'll be gaining an amazing experience as a foreign student studying in Germany.

VO: What plans have you made concerning your study in Germany?
Me: I have secured an accommodation...(Cuts in... How did you do that?) I was lucky enough to meet a fellow student in my school who rented an apartment that's supposed to be a two room contract but she asked if I'm interested so she can add me to the contract and make it a three room contract and I gladly took the offer....(She nodded and always had this enigmatic look on her face)

VO: Who have you been contacting in the school?
Me: I have been talking to the Students centre, the ATSA of the school, also I have been adding some of the alumni of the school on LinkedIn and they've been enlightening me about the school.... (Looks at me like this guy dey serious for this matter o)

VO: What do you know about Germany?
Me: ( in my mind...Yeepa Mo ti daran) Germany is a federal constituent (I stuttered and regained myself).... Germany is a country located in Central western Europe...(Cuts in)...

I think she noticed I dey fear the question so she helped out by asking questions directly.

VO: What's the capital of Germany, how many countries border Germany and population and how many federal constituent states?
Me: Berlin, 9 countries, 82.6million people and 16states.

VO: Okay Continue.
Me: Germany dominates the Automobile And manufacturing industry...(Cuts in)

VO: in Europe?
Me: Yes Ma'am

VO: Okay Continue.
Me: German automotive industry is the largest employer of labor in the world. German automobile industry is highly regarded as competitive and innovative, it has the third highest car production in the world (VO looks at me and nods) and the fourth highest total vehicle production in the world. Germany is also regarded as the land of ideas and inventions with inventions and inventors such as the Xray by Wilhelm Conrad (Cuts in and corrects my pronunciation and asks me to spell and pronounce the name ... I did and we continued), the turbo jet engine by hans ohain, the internal combustion engine by August Otto.... Also Germany is one of the top research places in the world and this is symbolized by the fact that it has more than 80 Nobel laureates such as Albert Einstein, Max Planck, Karl Braun And so on. Also It's universities are ranked in the top 250 in the world.....
(I stopped, she looked at me, continued typing and the lady on dyed brown hair came in to ask if the answers of the test she gave an applicant were correct....She asked me to drop the phone... They talked in German and My VO nodded in affirmation then She left... Then she said she was sorry for the interruption and I should pick up the phone)

VO: Who is your Sponsor, what does he do?
Me: My Dad, he is a senior lecturer at a private University.

VO: Which Department?
Me: HOD of Accounting department.

VO:Which School?
Me: mentioned the name and address.

VO: You have anyone in Germany?
Me: Yes, my in law.

VO: Married your sister?
Me: My mum's sister.

VO: Where does he reside?
Me: Pforzheim.

VO: Oh That's around Stuttgart?
Me: Yeah.

VO: Have you been to Germany before?
Me: No

VO: France, Italy?
Me: No

VO: Will you be coming back to Nigeria after your studies?
Me: Yes, because looking at the developments going on in Nigeria at the moment, like the dangote refinery being built here in Lagos and also the upgrading going on in the power plant where I'm working, I will be a step ahead because I have the required knowledge and skills to operate the systems in my Field of Expertise and also impactfully influence the technology of my home country. (She didn't type this time around and was looking at me straight in the eye and started typing after I finished talking and asked me to remind her of some things I said.)

VO: OK Thank you, but I have a short test for you.
Me: ( Finally my village people don reach here) OK Ma'am.

Hands the sheet and says I have 10mins.

1. Square root of 225, 121,
2. What is the degree of this angle
3. Volume of a cube
4. Area of a right angle triangle.

Solved all and handed over...

Then she started talking that I should fund because of my deadline and also started advising me on how to try and get enrollment extension from school... I said thank you and wanted to leave but she kept talking lol... Five minutes later she freed me and we both exchange bye bye...

PS* Paulinus nor get issue at all, just do as he says and don't panic.

Laurel10:

Someone should please give me an answer .
