jbonito:


Bro. How far na!! I saw your pm. Tried to mail back but not getting through.

Yea this was before I called to ask about your Form A funding. How's it going?

Lol...this is front page material..

Time is really our greatest enemy. We forget easily.

That said...Nigeria need systems, working systems.. I mean WORKING Information Management systems.. in all sectors.

LET DEM CONTINUE FIGHTING THEMSLEVES..It's for our good...The suffering masses

jbonito:


Glad to hear it. Best of luck.

Wish u same bruv..

jbonito:


Bro. How far now? Hope you have done ur funding?
We are looking forward to good news from you oo.

God bless.

Im good bro..

I am on the process and sorting cash issues...hopefully next Week I would fund.

And Amen the good news will come

honourableseyi:



The more you wait, the more you will keep delaying yourself. You don't have to receive go and fund mail before you do that . You better start working on the funding ASAp before they give you deadline . Shalom

Ok boss...thanks for this

hadassaheke:

My dear just go ahead and fund.

Ok.. I will...

Gratias

Interviewed since 16th of February and have not goten the 'go and fund' email..Should I be worried? Should I go ahead and fund? Because I have received my DB account details last week.

Ogas in the house pls

JoshMedia:

Are we not in Nigeria?

Lol...my brother, na prayer...A lady banker I asked the weekend CBN came up with the initiative got to my friend I knew her through to say that forex is available now.

honourableseyi:




The normal account balance of #4m and above is enough for the account to be opened irrespective of the amount you put on the anticipated fund so far you are using a single statement of account. So many accounts were opened with 3.8m, 4m , 5m with 8640 as anticipated funds and none was rejected based on that. I can ofcourse count 1-10 and still counting. You have nothing to worry about unless if they have changed it this 2017 which I doubt. Shalom

The balance i used is about 4.2m, Thanks for this...Bless up bro

Its good news the new forex thing but for us that will transfer to our own foreign accounts, I wonder if the process would be smooth or even pull through.. Hopeful

uchiha:


I put the 8640 but the dude above made a valid point as regards account balance because my mother's account i used could fund 8640 more than 10 times so weigh weigh the account balance before entering any anticipated funds

I see

MrEbony:

Yeah! Your passport number is what you put there as Tax id.

Don't sign anything until you get to the Consulate. More importantly fill everyother thing with the system but don't fill in the place and date columns before your signatures. You will sign write these and sign in the presence of the officer on the day of your appointmen; it's stated there in the form guideline.

For the anticipated fund, just put €2000, cos you must show you have about €17,000 if you put €8640. THAT I THINK WAS WHY MY ACCOUNT WAS NOT OPENED LAST YEAR. My new account was opened in just a week this time around

I hope this helps. All the best!

I always thought the annual anticipated fund is fund you'd declare to extend stay after a year.

Because I put the same block account amount there though I just applied on Monday here.

meekmill:


which test were u givven?

Cannot really recall but simple objective tests questions like 1gb = ?kb and all that...like 10 in total

dprinz99:
not yet funded my account.forex rate is tring to make the dream seem unfufillable but I still belief God.ive been in this since 2014 and this last time,I was just unlucky coz my bank delayed me till the introduction of this fucken flexible forex policy.i did my interview last year April and apply for formA same month.sterling bank allowed satan to use them and frustrate me till June which was my dateline.luckily,I had up to 3 admission later with another deadline by Augustso I wrote the embassy explaining to them that I couldn't access forex to fund my account so they accepted to defer my aplocation till august .i did all I could to access forex btw June till August but all to no avail.until last two weeks when I got my rejection from the embassy.
L

Seriously this Forex thing dey send cold down person body..

Just today I saw 530 or so for the Euro on the parallel market.

Its like the embassy even knows..lol...first thing the V.O asked me was "have u funded?"

Modified: The CBN is offering banks 20 Million Dollars weekly for school expenses, health and a few other Forex needs

I just saw the news below on front page. If only top bankers will not hijack this initiative like they would always do, it was suppose to be good news for us.

honourableseyi:




The test is always a simple.one. computer test for computer students , maths test for Engineering students , Economics test for Social, management students and Business teat for buss administration students. They are basics questions and.once.you.do.well.in.that too, you will be fine. Best of luck and shalom

Yea it was a simple test...didn't waste time to tick

Thanks

honourableseyi:



They were asked to write it there because they didn't go with any. Once you write or type it from home and make extra 2 or 3 copies of it, they can never ask you to re-write it again. Also, for some time now, Msc students don't write test, only the Bsc students do (in some few cases they might not also). But if the oral interview of the Msc student is not good enough for the VO, ofcourse test can be given after the interview provided they have not changed the system again this summer. Shalom

Oh I see.. I hope I didn't do bad for her and that's why she had to give the test..

Thanks bro

I'd keep my fingers crossed.

MrEbony:


Thanks a lot! Wishing you all the very best!

Uwc bro...thanks

SooCute:
How come nobody is talking about "Sponsorship Letter" anymore....has the system changed?I just want to be updated so as to plan myself well!

Nothing changed... The person that was interviewed before me yesterday used sponsorship letter.

Pervic:


"but instead gave me a simple test she printed out from the system"

What was the test she printed out of her PC all about. Pls share more inform about it.

Are we expected to re-write our motivation letter with pen b4 d interview or just two printed copies

She asked my undergraduate course again before printing out the test questions. It pertains to what one studied at undergraduate, in my case Computer Science.

For the motivation letter, I decided on my own to write in ink before going to the embassy. After collecting it, she asked for two photocopies. I have read of stories where people were asked to write it there.

MrEbony:


Best wishes! I have finally gotten an appointment! Could you please share the screenshots of the possible questions with me. I have been trying to send you mail here but I get an error message each time.

Great!

A quite friendly black lady interviewed me..I think she Nigerian...The questions are no different from what people post here everyday..

Did you go to Goethe institute,
Do you speak germany,
Name of your school,
Course you about to go study,
How did you find your school,
Documents you submitted to get admission,
How you applied,
How have you prepared for Germany,
What you know about Germany,
Population of Germany,
What you know about the town your school is located at,
Countries bordering Germany,
How many states has Germany,
Name the states in Germany and their capitals,
Why you choose the school,
Are you coming back to Nigeria,
Where you would work when you come,
Why didn't you do the masters here in Nigeria,
Your motivation,
Your Bachelor research topic,
What topic you would like to do your MSC thesis in,
Who is your sponsor (she asked why not my dad),
Why not UK or Canada,
Do you have relatives in the EU,
Ever apply for a visa to Germany or other EU countries...

That's the most I could recall for now.

Don't forget your motivational letter and make 2 extra copies..She didn't ask me to re-write a motivational letter (maybe because I submitted it written in ink) but instead gave me a simple test she printed out from the system.

namek2:
Thanx@iamedwin.give me ur numbr let me add U on whasalp..

MrEbony:


When did you get a reply? Last week or this week?

I got mail on the morning of Monday the 13th

...Finished my Interview a few hours back

..The usual questions that are always shared here.

Prospects, please always have a screen grab of possible interview questions posted here and use them to prepare, it helps...I didn't really have problem answering most of the questions cos I knew they would come.

MrEbony:
Please who booked student visa appointment last week? Have you gotten a reply from the Consulate?

I got booked for 16th, the day after tommorow. Was thinking you would have gotten as well.

kelly4top:
please who has or knows the email for booking student visa appointment. Have they changed it?

student@lago.diplo.de

MrEbony:


I hope you haven't sent it yet. Check this link for reference: https://service2.diplo.de/rktermin/extern/choose_realmList.do?locationCode=lago&request_locale=en


I also requested on Tuesday and I'm yet to get a reply.

I'm wondering if what they meant is that one can book using the system where one can pick a date, for Abuja.

isn't it clearly stated there that we send the mail to the lagos mail (student@lago.diplo.de) and that one can be forwarded to Abuja for interview where necessary?

badtboi:

No it will not be an issue and do have a successful interview.

Gracias

badtboi:

It can take from just a few hours to some days to get a response from the embassy with regards your appointment/interview date and while you wait just ensure your email request follows the guideline below

1. The request must be sent as an email with an attachment as one PDF file of your Passport Data page, Admission Letter and DB account opening slip from embassy or Blocked account Funding confirmation from DB to student@lago.diplo.de
2. You clearly state your request in the subject of the email e.g REQUEST FOR STUDENT VISA APPOINTMENT or STUDENT VISA APPOINTMENT REQUEST.
3. A brief message in the body of the email explicitly stating that you are requesting for a student visa interview/appointment and if your enrolment date is close you will be well advised to state that in the email as well.

Thanks for the reply... I had to send another mail ( i wouldn't have if i had earlier attached my passport data page ) and did everything stated above except merging the PDF documents in one. I hope that would not be a problem though. i wonder why it is not stated in the consulate website.

A quick one..

I have sent mail to request for study Visa appointment since Tuesday evening, and i wonder if it can take a while to be replied because i haven't goten a relply.

Hope I didn't do any wrong?...I attached the admission letter and proof of block account appointment as stated on the website. Am I supposed to state where I want my interview? (i.e lagos or abuja). still waiting for a mail.

Modified: Just found out from a previous post that i am supposed to attach my passport data page alongside the admission letter and block account appointment confirmation although it is not stated on the consulate website. i will resend a mail and hope i am on the right track.

honourableseyi:




Apply for visa interview appointment and wait for them to give you a date for the interview. But I would advise you not to wait for that before you send another application for the block account. Because your interview date might be 2, 3, or 4 weeks from now. Shalom

ok...will do jus that..Thanks bro

honourableseyi:



You will have to first send block account application through embassy; the slip given to you is what you will use to book for visa interview. You can do both on the same day but not at the same time; it is one first followed by the 2nd step. Meanwhile, if you open an account db, it takes them 3-4 weeks depending on DB (might be longer); so if after 4 weeks you were denied, you will have to send another application again which might take the same duration before they answer you provided everything is intact. So it might still waste the time you are trying to conserve. Shalom

I have done the opening already. Remember the statement I talked about, and you said I may be rejected because of the balance? I went ahead to use it because I was already in Lagos and need the slip I'd get to book for Visa interview.

Now I am thinking of booking for visa interview and resending another application for bank account before the anticipated bank rejection comes in.

Wonder if anyone has done stuff like this before.

honourableseyi:




Ok. If that is the case, you can go ahead but don't wait till they reject it before you set on motion a new application; otherwise the end will not justify the means. Ofcourse yes, you will be spending about 20k extra. Shalom

If i get you right, it may take too long to get a response from the bank right? I will try booking for both Visa interview and account opening same day then.

Thanks boss!
