hi guys, thanks for all your comments. I have been reading for a while.

I just got an admission to Friedrich-Schiller-Universität, Jena, Germany (MSc) to start ending august or september.
I already have the admission letter. The mail said I should book an appointment for visa with the embassy.
I have been hearing of blocked account here.
I dont have up to 8640 euro...I have about half of that.
(how do i know the actual amount i need to open..does this change?

Can i use a sponsor in Nigeria since i dont have enough money.
Also do i need to open and load the german blocked account first before going for interview?
If not, after the interview, how long do i have to open and load the account?
Can i fix visa interview date now?

Good morning HOUSE,

For me the journey started in 2016 when I ended my NYSC and I hoped to do my Masters abroad cos I didn't want to go through the same stress twice as I did during my undergraduate days in LAUTECH (also called LAUSTRESS).

I graduated from the department of Computer science in 2015 with a 2:1 grade and the miracle for me was I heard of Germany at the nick of time we were about having our POP.

I talked to Friends who had gone ahead of me in the journey, chatted people and make calls to both known and unknown.

In 2017 I got all my documents ready as I checked the criteria on the internet in order to apply to various schools. Admission was a challenge for me as I didn't want to apply through uni assist cos I didn't even have money to apply to schools. I did a good search on dada.de and opted for schools whose applications were free. The following schools accepted my applications in good faith..
Bonn university, TU Ilmenau, Heildschem, TU Darmstad e.t.c.

After my applications, I waited few months for admission as university of Bonn disappointed with a rejection letter. But as God will have it I was compensated the following week by TU Ilmenau. Admission letter came in and it seemed to me like Germany here I come in 2017. Unknown to me I have to book for interview space ahead of time and before I could do that, every slot was taken I was left with no option than to think Summer 2018 here I come.

Months passed by as I mailed the school to please give me another admission letter so I can apply for summer semester but the school refused me and told me that I should use the one they gave to me that it covers for 4 semesters until summer 2019. I decided to follow their instructions and applied with that admission letter.

Fast forward to my interview date:04/01/2018, I appeared at the gate very early in order to avoid any WAHALA from MR. PAULINUS but as prepared as I was I had about 5 documents missing. I didn't know the witches in my father's house that made that happen. As He called us to arrange our documents, I noted the missing documents and I was scared I was going back home that day. In my mind, I was already concluding on Winter 2018. But I held on to God cos I know it will definitely be a miracle.

As I went in to meet the VO. the lady in room 1 saw my admission letter and told me sorry I can't go ahead with this interview cos my admission letter wasn't valid that it was for Winter 2017, I quickly chipped in that it was what the school asked me to use to apply that she should go on with the interview.

Like that wasn't enough, she noticed my missing documents and told me to either go out or she make a photocopy for me for a #1000 per copy biko... I only came with my visa application fee and I don't have anything left on me as I explained to her. She stood up in annoyance and came back with the photocopies. Then said in a low voice "I don't do this for people". I said to myself, 'This could only be God'.

She was tired and ready to get rid of me, she printed a paper full of interview questions and asked me to fill them as she went through my documents again. I hurriedly filled the questionnaire. She suddenly reached out for the paper and told me that was enough. The only question she asked me was tell me about Germany. She printed my receipt, collected my application fee, asked me to sign and that was the end if the interview.

Finally she asked me for my blocked account fund and I told her I would get it by the following week but inside of me I knew I didn't even have a Naira to fund my blocked account yet. But I really believe GOD WILL NOT START WHAT HE HASN'T FINISHED.

Another journey to funding my account began as I trusted God that money would come. Truly money came but it seemed like it was too late. I was expecting my documents back in my house but it didn't come and finally after 2 months of my interview I send the blocked account confirmation on 15/03/2018 and the long awaited A. M. dropped on19/03/2018.

I'm so grateful to God and everyone here on this platform for the support and stories you have all shared.

For those expecting A. M GOD wey do my own effortlessly go do una own too.

Thanks all

dayjeee:
your story is inspiring, congrats and go and succeed in Deutschland

johndoefoo:


Please, sorry for asking this, does someone with CGPA of 3.88 in the first year, without any fail, stand a chance? Do you by any chance know the average cgpa for someone going for Bsc in Engineering?
3.88 for the first year is a 2nd Class upper in Nigeria. ofcourse you stand a chance

hostine316:

Please house I need your help

My friend went for an interview on the 16th of January, and she signed that she will block her fintiba account, the embassy sent her a message requesting for her blocking confirmation, and she just got a scanned copy of her SL, and by Monday she will get the hard copy. She's confused cos she doesn't know how to send the message to the embassy telling them she has SL, and can she send the scanned copy through email tomorrow then on Monday she sends the hard-copy?

I wish everyone all the very best.

Germany here i come

yusufjinadu:
Just got my approval to submit my passport & travel health insurance.

Headed to Clausthal Uni. of Technology for M.Sc. Mining Eng.

Information I got through this medium was pivotal.

Many thanks to you all.

SleekAB:
Hello my people... It's been quite a while, yeah I know. Na many things cause am, let me leave it at that for now.
I'd like to specially thank everyone who's been contributing on this platform to help others actualise their dreams.
Y'all are too numerous to mention, keep it up... You'll get even more in return.

Special thanks also to everyone who took the the time to answer my queries during this winter semester process, you immensely helped me attain this new reality.

Had my interview on the 10th August, got a reminder to send blocked account confirmation on August 29th, sent confirmation on the 9th/11th September and my AM arrived yesterday morning (29th September).

Frankly, the waiting period can be quite harrowing and disorienting. However, I observed that arming oneself with information from this platform and elsewhere can give one a calming and quietly confident effect.

To those who are looking to apply or get in the process, one thing I can confidently tell you is, 'Information is king!'. Read up as much as you can from this platform and everywhere else necessary, ask not-so-obvious personal questions as it affects you and arm yourself with all the information you can get. I assure that you shall succeed.

Thank you!

I am so sorry if I end up posting this as a reply or a quote...

I've been following this thread right from part2 since May 2016, and i must say i have really got all my questions answered just from reading every single page. This is my first post.

I got my admission for winter2016 SEMESTER at RWTH University Aachen last year. I was so excited, went for my visa appointment 5th July 2016, the visa interview went well.
Unfortunately when i was ready to fund my blocked account forex started going up, the more I struggled to fine money the higher it got. After exploring all other options to fund I ended up withdrawing my visa application to avoid any negative report on my file.

It was heart breaking to see all the hard work,time I invested during the application and visa process fade before my eyes. But I had to pick myself up and start preparing for winter2017.

TESTIMONY

Got admitted(Same school /course) = 13th June 2017
Appointment date = 24th August 2017
Funding = funded before my interview
Am mail = 21th September 2017

I will like to appreciate everyone that has ever answered questions, you are helping more people than you can ever imagine. And for those that couldt get vosa appointment for winter2017, don't give up!!!

Lammydamsel:
Thanks for the info. How did you go about it and when is your enrollment deadline?

Jigba:

Paulweasley:




Haven't entered any uni oo.. So I have to do 100level first, is it that compulsory??
Suppose I travel to Estonia for visiting, and apply for German visa through der, will der give me??

Paulweasley:
Hello house, I have the 8600 euro now, but my main issue is admission, I don't have TOEFL or Ielts, is der any tuition free university in Germany dat gives undergraduates admission without the need of TOEFL or ielts??

acedboss:


hahahahahahahaha.. Aburo Jerry...... ignore the grammar but not the salient point being made.

acedboss:
I've silently followed and observed comments made on this thread ever since the issue of the embassy's refusal to issue interview dates to intending students. Comments from the likes of dobeespen, hiltino and uchevolata gladden my heart so much. These bunch and a few others like them on this thread make me optimistic about the future of our dear country, that all hope is not lost as yet and there are still intellectually sound youths despite the putrid rot in the system. I still find it hard to wrap my head around how and why some people think bombarding the email address(es) of the embassy of a SOVEREIGN nation or social media campaigns of calumny against the decision/internal policy(ies) of a SOVEREIGN nation, of whom you are not a citizen is the way out of this debacle.

It's painfully ironic to see how some of us are trying to hold people who owe us next to nothing accountable for their generosity but we cannot do so to the political class of our own country who ought to be accountable to us but trample on our fundamental human rights in every way imaginable.

Renewable0216:


@uchevolata: Sorry Sis, but I think you got this all wrong. There are lots to answer in your post so I'd take it one at a time...

First off, I will have to say sorry, but we are all experiencing the same thing.


Q1: After reading your post I felt really sad... But have you tried to weigh the situation and that procedures and policies change in various countries?
A1: Sadly, I don't think policies have changed much in Germany, at least in Africa, only Nigerians are facing this! We just need these guys to talk to those at the Embassy...at least try! We can't just fold our arms when Ghanaian Embassy is still open till September!

Q2: Are you kidding me that you are going to flood twitter handles quote politicians even the acting president
A2: We won't be the first persons to do that...folks have done that for even less germane reasons.

Q3: just German consulate has not decided to responded to emails on appointments? (now I was really taken aback and felt ashamed).
A3: Taken aback and ashamed...those are big words tho. But I'm still at loss as to why you are? Any ignominious act?

Q4: It's looking more like the protest is farther than just wanting to school in Germany, I perceive!
A4: How so? What else is there to do in Germany than school the first years? Do under-handed jobs? Give me a break! Some of us are classy for that babe...

Q5: I beg of us let's act wisely when we do things and stop making this Germans look so less on us.
A5: Got better ideas? Seem like good time to air them now

Q6: Come to think of if, a German can say if you push this much you can as well apply to a US school and getting scholarship or get non tuition free school in other part of Europe.
A6: Have they said that? They made Education free for a reason.

And I think you've gotten this all wrong. This attack is not on the Germans per se, they probably just reacting to influx of applicants this round and probably don't want to stress themselves. We just need someone to make them want to stretch a little.
Their advise has been wait till next year...what happens then? A deluge of old and new applicants pushing them far beyond their limits??
Have you thought about that?

Q7: My Friend applied to a university in Frankfurt for PhD, after weeks of waiting, exchanging research topics with his supervisor, suddenly a mail came in and state sorry we can't continue with the admission process as the German as regulation has told them to pay attention to its citizens and remain mute about it! This was in March 2017. In April TUMunich did same thing applicants pursuing a PhD must have been a graduate from TUM.
A7: I'm sorry about your friend, really am. But this is the position of certain schools, some schools are so eager to have us that they took it upon themselves to mail the Embassy!

Q8: I applied to confederation college in Canada what you are experiencing for Germany happened to me, I have even paid a 110$ application fee, until the coordinator said this (Unfortunately, we do require minimally a Second Class, Upper Division for admission to our post-graduate level programs in Engineering. This was set after recent discussions with immigration and other partners who work in Nigeria.)
A8: This is a different ball game Sis, you probably just did not meet the requirement for that school, another school who sees the good in you would have gladly jumped at you...right?

Q9. If you have applied to a Canadian school you will understand that 2'2 goes for PGD I had gotten Conestoga and Lambton in 2016 but couldn't continue due to finance.
A10. This is personal and it's not to brag or anything...I have admission in the US, Canada and Germany...I'm tilted towards Germany for personal reasons so...

Q10:We on Canadian thread didn't floor the Canadian ambassador mails. We on the Canadian thread can tell you from August 2016 to February 2017. 90percent of Nigerian applicants were refused because of changes in immigration policies.
A10: The Country made a policy change...How are you so sure this is the case for Germany. Check around Sis, all other African embassies are still open? Should we run to other countries because own guys can't be called to question?

Q11: it is their country and can change the laws doesn't matter to the Nigerian president!
A11: True, it's their Country, thier Universities, their money...butb international relation exist too. Nigeria, despite our not so-good reputation, is still a fertile ground for them...maybe not the best but they still spend money funding an Embassy on our soil.

Q12: Why am I grieved? Please lets take decisions with wisdom so as not to kill other opportunities.... They have every right to do what they wish to do! Let's be diplomatic and have faith with prayers.
A12: On this I agree. The last thing a wise man would do is burn a bridge just because he's past the ridge...but are you sure our silence wouldn't do worse? If we succumb to their whims and caprices so easily, what happens next year when they now "combine" 2 batches?

Q13: They will send appointment replies very soon before August ends by God's grace.... Be hopeful.
Sending disturbing mails can put them in distress and conclude not to go ahead don't you think?
A13: I am hopeful and prayerful... that is why we are doing this. What if they don't re-consider? Which most Germans "usually" don't?
Let's just give them a nudge by getting one of our top officials to wedge in...

This is not a bottle-and-knives fight.... it's a social protest to generate the right results. I'm in fact too lanky to spear-head a revolt!

Q14: In my opinion, quit the idea of social media protest, one thing you should know is that Germans does care like Americans too don't.
A14: Nice choice of words...your opinion...nice, noble and praiseworthy but I think we are on same ship here. Correct me if I'm wrong...you worry is extremity and total sabotage of our goals but

Q15: Sorry, for the long epistle! God bless us all, if it's His will to make it manifest no man can shut it.
A15: Sorry about the long post too, but I think it demands it lest people go off with the wrong notion about our intentions

Maybe I didn't articulate our reasons and approach well...forgive my inadequacies

But the truth is...we need to be more concerted and painstaking in our approach.

Our goal is to simply get our folks in high places to dialogue with them at the Embassy. No one is carrying placards and logs!
It's simply enough noise to make those who can change things come in and speak with these Germans!

The right person talking to them can get the job done. In fact, just a phone call!
But how do we get them to do that if we just lazy around!

I'm made bold to say that the social media would get the job done!

If it does not, at least we tried.

Things we regret most in life are not the things we do...it's the ones we don't!

Conclusion: Let's thread with caution!!

Yes we would Big Sis. We would thread with caution and be civil too.


We can be civil and still cause a change!

#Winter17

Impossible is nothing!

PS: Ucheveleta...this is nothing personal. I apologize in advance if I sounded that way...but believe me, it's not!

I respect you and respect your opinion too.

See you in Germany #Winter17
