fjoksy:

So I set out today with a 20k budget. I planned on certifying one set of documents at the embassy for free, then waybill it through dhl @ N18,200 and spend the remaining N1,800 on transport and feeding.
I was shocked when I got to the embassy. When it got to my turn the white guy typed something into the computer and was like:
White guy: You have been here before
Me: yes sir
White guy: and you certified docs for 4 schools
Me: well yes
White guy: For this 5th application you'll pay N3,300
Me: But Excuse me sir, when I certified those documents it was done for free and that was in February also the new policy only started this month of May.
White guy: It doesn't matter
Me: What?!
I have heard of the new policy but I thought it meant if you come with more than 3 set of docs you pay didn't know they'll go into their archives.
I had to think fast... If I go it would all be a wasted effort but if I pay I'll have a N3,300 deficit in my budget. Anyways I grudgingly paid the money but left the embassy like a bizman who had just lost his container of goods in the ocean.
@ 2pm I picked up my docs and my next move was dhl for waybill but I was short of 3.3k. FedEx is 16k but it still did not solve the 3.3k deficit. Calling anyone for money wasn't an option and I had to stick to my 20k budget. If you're wondering why I didn't use Nipost or whatever, well my deadline is 31st May and I need it delivered within 2-3days.
@ dhl office
The nice lady: Good afternoon , how may I help you?
Me: I have a package for Germany, school docs to be precise
The nice lady: it would cost you N18,200
Me: these are school docs and I want a discount.
I thought she would just laugh at my silly comment of "discount" but instead she looked at me typed sth in the computer and said: "erh...uhm...OK actually we have student discount and it would cost me N13,200 instead.
Nah wow ooo!!!
Me: So you people do student discount and you never mentioned it and I spent 18.2k the last time hmmm...there's God ooo
The nice lady: sorry I forgot to mention it and its just a new policy.
I knew she was lying but thank God sha. On my way home I met two people I haven't seen for sometime. The first was a young girl she is a hardworking apprentice hairdresser. I dashed her 500 naira maybe because I was in goodmood and I just saved extra money from dhl. The 2nd person was a schoolmate, he was excited to see me and said we should go hangout that he would pay. God knows I was very hungry and haven't eaten since morning. Oh boy! I ate and drank more than my initial I.8k budget for food and transport, he even dropped me off at my place.

I know my post is long but who cares? I met an old friend, I'm 6000naira richer and God watches over me

Zodka:
Okay...I posted here two days ago or so that uni assist sent me a mail stating that my online signed application form was missing.. and how I was sure is wasn't, that I sent it.

I decided to put my frustration and anger in a mail back to them that there must be a mistake some where that am 100% sure I added the signed online application.

I got a mail from them now, confirming the receipt of my documents stating that they received my online application form, certificates and other documents.

Abeg, why were they playing around before...

Lnzy:
Ok bro... in my case I want 2 apply to 3 schls....does the lecturer have 2 write 3 letters addressed separately to the schls?

Touchflex:
I'll advise you have them separate...he only needs to change the names of the schools with probably same content of recommendation! Cheers

glucklichewelt:
Hello Instructor,

Please how much do you know about health insurance in Germany. I really need to some clarifications. Thank you.

haybellfire:
Abeg can anyone give us the list of those 5 skuls that are application free in uniassist

jbonito:
Why are you complicating the matter Biko. I read few pages back you were properly advised. Get your Bsc transcripts, cos you need it. Why do you have just 100 level and 300 level transcripts? What happened to 200 & 400 level transcripts? You have been told as well that unless the school is adamant about an English language test, a letter from your university confirming that you studied in English will certainly be adequate. All you had to do was email the course coordinator/ admission office in Germany to confirm if the said document will suffice.

Cheers

MabraO:
Ok thank you bros
But from all form I tried to fill they requested for ssce nd for d cv they said no gaps in years
If I am to go to my sch for recommendation letter how long do u think it take to process it?

MabraO:
Pls house I would be glad if someone gave me an urgent reply.

I have been seeing people fill in for masters and no one for bsc.
Though I ve completed my bsc I still want to do a second bsc

1. In my cv do I ve to fill in my previous uni nd nysc?
2. Been thinking on how to get the recommendation letters vid they specifically requested for 2.
3. Does TOEFL/IELTS really matter cos a friend said it doesn't nd I ve noticed nobody talks about it here. Or do I assume every body got the 50 - 85k for d exam?

Thanks as u reply

glucklichewelt:

Zodka:
Also I applied to Potsdam University through uni-assist and I was told to pay 0.00£, I mean nothing.. I was surprised ohh. I guess they collect payment for some schools and none for others..

Whichever, am just glad

Jariel:
Thank you. I did my certification at igbosere high Court. Would probably have to go to the embassy.

eberenicky:
High court is faster and cheap. Did 85copies for 1500naira only. The court registrar stamp and sign tire dat day.

Jariel:
Go and notarize your document at the german embassy

@ futurewise @ horlalaykon

Thank you for the response. But I need to know if it's both the transcript and my certificate or just the certificate. Because transcript was certified copy issued by the school and stamped as well. Contained the how it was graded.

Lordswazz:
Pls i want to know if i'm to certify the Letter of Motivation as well as the recommendation letters too. thanks

soji0509:
Hello All. I have been having issues with sending in my application for Winter session via uni-assist.
Do we have anyone who has successfully submitted to : 1 Hamburg university 2 Kleve, HS Rhein-Waal
The desired course is anything related to IT / Computer Science.
Suggested schools that have opened for the course above are welcome as I need submit about 3 applications ASAP.

The error I get when I applied to the 2 schools earlier mentioned is below:
"Unfortunately your search returned no results. The application period for the study course you have chosen has not started yet. Please ask your chosen university when your study course will be released.
If you enter only the university as search parameter, you will see the list of all current courses offered by this university."

Thanks in advance.

jbonito:
Hi guys!! Arrived Trier, Germany yesterday. It's been interesting all the way. A different challenge on its own. Settling down is next now. It's such a beautiful place to be.
Wishing you all a successful application and good luck to those waiting for visa decisions.

Danke Schöne

parksg:
Hello does 1 get a work permit with the study visa n how easy is it to get a job

jbonito:
He doesn't need to pay to open a blocked account at the embassy while also paying for courier to ferry his form all the way to Germany when he can do it for free with Finitiba and quicker too. This is why people should read the thread!! This is basically spoonfeeding.

ybahrbz91:
Good morning everyone! , does that mean certification of ones documents in a High Court is equivalent to German embassy?
Thanks

tunddy:

And what is the required amount I need to have in the account.....also can sponsorship letter work out for me from someone in Germany and what is the requirement for the person to obtain the sponsorship letter?? Also can I obtain a student visa without a block account ??

sshola:
Baba you too much. Thanks

tolajay:
Glad to be here!

Just took the first step in securing a place to study in Germany. Would like to do a Masters in Media and Communication Science at Ilmenau University of Technology, Ilmenau. [ What do you think about the school and location?].

But the school requires some proof of English proficiency in form of TOEFL...[Please see screenshot below]. Is it compulsory that I do any of these exams since English is the official language of Nigeria.

P.S: I'm a fresh graduate, yet to get my certificate and transcript but I really want to move sooner than later.

Please advice.

Made123:
Hello please I'll need to get enlightened about this "certification of documents". From what I've read on the thread, ones academic docs could either get certified at German embassy or a notary public although I stand to be corrected. Then on the long run (ie. after having gained admission), will certification of docs at the German embassy have any positive impact on one's visa application other than those who didn't certify @ the embassy. I might sound like a JJC but we all know that getting well-informed is the currency of success these days.

sshola:
Hi house,

In order to get my documents certified at the German embassy, do I have to book appointment or I just walk to the place once I am ready? Please advise
