Hello guys,

Compliments of the season.

I shared the below testimony in PART 6 on how I persisted with applications and appealed two of my rejection, both of which paved way;
I have got some contacts on how I went about it, and then I feel I could share the appeal content. Plz, be aware that my case may not be your, while the nature of my appeal may not work for yours. But just feel the format and adjust as it fits you. Also be aware that, I never had an extra qualification before I appealed. But in all, IT HAS BEEN GOD.

Let God be praised!

And a BIG THANKS to all Nairalander who have contributed with one question or the other, answered or responded with a meaning. They all had, and is still worth awhile, though, I hardly have time to read thoroughly.

My journey to Deutschland started in August 2015, after my mother's visit and gave me the info. I made some contacts and started applications to Oldenburg for summer 2016 via UniAssist. Got UniAssist confirmation letter, but Oldenburg had shifted my summer application to winter decision with reasons only known to them. Also, I had applied for winter 2016 session in Bremen, with multiple applications when ever possible. But got all rejections for ALL applications in 2016, with the option of appeal for Bremen (even, I didn't use it). Though, I had challenge Oldenburg with series of email, demanding the reason for the late rejection after promising admission in summer for winter. Final response for all emails was a NO.

For Abuja, you may contact;

However, they also responded. But mind you, I never used it.

Does this price apply to those flying through Abuja Airport?

This may not be through. I got mine two months before. Others got their far before mine, and yet some just got their after a long wait. So, just pray, hold on, it will sure come.

Frias:
Guys, is it true that you won't get your Visum on time if the travel date you used is kind of far?

Thanks!

Onboard Wi-Fi? Didn't know of it, didn't use it.
Seat small? Have not used international flights before and can't compare. Moreover, the price I paid was discounted. So far as others who might have paid higher could manage, why won't I. Provided I reach my destination (in comfort, even).

Layover, was okay, timely.

And in all, Turkish Airlines is just fine.

Bbinc:
Congratulations

Please hows the onboard WiFi on Turkish air?

Any delays??

I heard their seats are quite small, how true is this?

How did your layover go!

In case you are not in Lagos and you do not have any that can help you walk into their office, you may as well try the email option;

LAGOSSALES@THY.COM

Their phone number is: 012772230.

All my transactions were through the above. I my payment was through a bank transfer to the below account:

TOT NGN 176,127
ACCOUNT NAME: TURKISH AIRLINES
ACCOUNT NUMBER: 1012945260
BANK NAME: ZENITH BANK PLC

Thereafter, I received my flight ticket on my mail. Printed it and now, I am in DE.

Well, the cash transfer section, was not without fear (you know anything could happen in Naija). Had to walk into 2 separate Zenith Bank to confirm the account. But summoned courage and all was well.


Thanks to Pecky and Chriswazo for their support.

All praises, and honour, and adoration be onto my God forever and ever. AMEN!

And Forever All Praises to God Almighty!

I am in Deutschland.
I have come to be established and prosper (2 Chronicles 20:20).

For those yet to come, I pray for a sweet and safe trip for you in Jesus name.

For those yet expecting, please be patient and persevere. But above all, know God and love Him, for He alone can help you (Jehovah Ebenezer - 1 Samuel 7:12).

My thanks goes to ALL Nairalanders for one contribution upon another.

ALL praises, and honour, and adorations be onto my God for forever and ever. AMEN!

And a BIG THANKS to all Nairalander who have contributed with one question or the other, answered or responded with a meaning. They all had, and is still worth awhile, though, I hardly have time to read thoroughly.

My journey to Deutschland started in August 2015, after my mother's visit and gave me the info. I made some contacts and started applications to Oldenburg for summer 2016 via UniAssist. Got UniAssist confirmation letter, but Oldenburg had shifted my summer application to winter decision with reasons only known to them. Also, I had applied for winter 2016 session in Bremen, with multiple applications when ever possible. But got all rejections for ALL applications in 2016, with the option of appeal for Bremen (even, I didn't use it). Though, I had challenge Oldenburg with series of email, demanding the reason for the late rejection after promising admission in summer for winter. Final response for all emails was a NO.

Because, I didn't want to spend money for UniAssist anymore, I had to focus on applications without in 2017, still with multiple applications when ever possible. ALL applications again, was a rejection. Yet, I didn't up but to try again in 2018. ALL applications, yet returned negative. But this time I summoned courage to appeal for Bremen. Only to get an admission email on the 2nd of October, 2018. Rushed to booked visa appointment, but got 28th November AD. Informed Uni-Bremen, but the course coordinator refused on the ground that I can not meet up with start up programmes. I had requested for a deferment, but never granted. YOU WILL HAVE TO REAPPLY AGAIN NEXT YEAR. YOU ARE ALREADY AWARE OF THE APPLICATION PROCEDURE was the statement from the course coordination.

Seeing that I gained admission, anyways, boast my hope. But thought, I can use the opportunity of the AD to an advantage for a German Student Applicant Visa. I applied in a language school and made all papers ready (with an SL). Got to the embassy, cleared in, and see me, see the V.O. The man just looked at my documents and smiled, cancelled one doc after the other, and said, "should you are to continue with the interview, you can only get a SHENGEN VISA and not a STUDENT VISA. But if you push for a Student Visa, you get a rejection. So my advice, withdraw your visa appointment, you need not pay any visa fee, but just cancel you appointment or you go for the SHENGEN".

Thought critically, with the Shengen, man will have to resign his job, leave his family and go for enjoyment. And at his return, man will start counting ceiling and cracking brain on how to get a job. Thank you very much for your advice, was my next statement, and then retreated with ALL my documents and cash intact. At coming out, I had informed concerned family member, yet disappointment greeted me. But after much explanations, "OKAY, let's hope for next year", was the conclusions.

Immediately, I started negotiating for the refund of cash for the German language payment. I finally got the refund on the 24th of May, 2019.

Meanwhile, 2019 I had spread out my applications for 7 schools without spending for posting application documents (though, this was possible because, I happened to know someone travelling back to Germany, so I made 4-sets of certified credential, bind up, and deposited them with a family member) with multiple applications pal school when ever possible.

ALL 6 schools rejected me (including the ones with multiple applications). Except for Uni Jena (though, I applied for 2 programmes, and was rejected for one). I applied on the 22.04.2019. Application deadline was 31.05.2019. Got admission mail on 17.06.2019. Booked appointment Cat A on the 18.06.2019. Got AD for 01.07.2019. Got AM on the 22.07.2019. Sent the needed docs on the 23.07.2019, and got my VISA with me on the 01.08.2019.

It just has been God.

Forgive me, if my writing is too much and my write may also not be correct, kindly manage it wink, only I feel, I could encourage at least one person in the house.

Many thanks Pecky, she has being of great assistance since 17.06.2019. I pray for her (she knows why). And I pray for everyone yet expecting, the God that has done my own will do yours in Jesus name (this was my pastors prayer on Sunday, 21st July 2019 and he asked us to mention our expectations to someone, I did mentioned it to two people who already known my plan (dem no dey tell people say u wan go Italy ooo[i][/i] wink grin). That week was called THE WEEK ON DIVINE INTERVENTION..

By the special grace of God, I hope to meet you in Deutschland very soon.

Let God be praised!!

Danke!

your testimony is awesome. by persistence even the snail reached the ark. I bookmark, read and reread such epistles. I encourage everyone going through a testing and trying period, waiting for dates, visum, admission letters etc, to take heart. God is never surprised, he has a solution ever before your problems arose.

we shall all make it.

quote author=Ezyp post=73125679]
It should be hand written as clearer stated on the website. I don't think amount of words or pages matter. The structure of your written letter matters (although no structure was specified but using a structure ist gut)

If you care... see an example below...
The format of your motivation letter should follow the format of most letters. It should have these three features:

Introduction
Body
Conclusion

These three features should address different issues in your motivation letter. Below are what they should address.

Introduction

It should explain what makes Germany stand apart from other countries.
It should address why you would like to study in Germany.

Body

It should tackle why you chose to study at your university
It should contain some reasons for the choice of your study program

Conclusion

It should address your future plans
It can be used to clarify any inconsistencies that you might have in your application
