Travel › Re: Securing Visa To France, Applying From Nigeria... by Joohan: 1:31pm On Sep 27, 2019 |
electromagnito: my France people... it has been 2years now, i feel i should share my experience, well 2years ago i was here, got admitted to france to study theoretical physics Msc. at Universite de Cergy Pontoise 20km away from central paris, i dont know if i made a mistake going to france or i should have stayed in Nigeria, when i traveled to france september 17th 2017, without little or no help. I traveled with just 750 euros, this was money i had saved up from working, because i had no one to help me. When i got to france, i went straight to my university where i paid the inscription fee of 246 euros and also registered for french class for 210 euros, the money left with me was about 480euros, i had no place to stay because i was too late to get the CROUS, i started asking myself some question on how to survive in this harsh environment i cant speak the language, so i had to stay with a course mate for somedays, i was attending lectures and thinking of what next at the same time, my brain was unstable. I finally met a Nigerian who said i can share his place but i have to pay half the rent, i told him i have just 480 with me, i will pay you 400 for 2 month and if i get a job before then i will move, by december when it was very cold, i didnt getr a job and i couldnt pay the house rent, the Nigeria guy drove me out and i almost felt like giving up plus i was till going to school in all those harsh condition, then a close friend of mine yannick who happens to be french told me he was going to talk to his mom for me since i have helped him in programming exam and he scored 16/20. So his mum accepted me and i stayed with them throughout december then i got a night job in January, so i pleaded with my friend parent that they should give me just january to move out, Note i was working all night and still go to school, Feburary 2018 i left to my own rented appartment, now life was getting better but at the stake of my education, i was able to pull through the first year having a overall grade for M1 at 11.8/20 i felt bad knowing my result in Nigeria was a way better graduating with 4.43 CGPA. Because of my love for school i decided not to give up and registered for M2, most of my professor didnt like me though because they knew i was working overnight and i was still passing their exams despite not been stable, in france the hardest master is theoretical physics trust me. M2 started and i knew this was last chance of improving my grade so i could get a phD since that was my goal before i traveled abroad, M2 was still indifferent from M1 hate from professor plus i still had to work all night to pay my bills, my house rent was 300euros per month and i still support my family in Nigeria with any amount i have. after the first session of M2 i had 11.3/20, i was not too happy because my best friend in class got 14/20, although he got a phd now in lyon, so i went insearch of internship known as stage for my masters thesis, i got a good place at ESPCI CNRS paris, so i was going to my stage and still working at night. I finished my stage this month september 2019 and also defended my Master thesis on 6th of this month. at the end of the day i graduated with an aggregated of 12.5/20. I couldnt get a Phd cause most Phd proposal are taken since i finish late, presently now, i am seraching for a phd and also thinking of coming back home since i am just 26yrs old, i have option of changing my status and be working during the night but this is not a job one can di forever, i am grateful to everyone here and if you stay in paris and you need my help, i am always opening..... bonne journee You won a scholarship for your MSC? If yes, which one is it please |

mrphysics: Not how it is bro.
Everything is well managed to avoid such display of the 'Nigerian' in you. The plates are not really that large. Every meal has the appetizer, main meal and the dessert all for the 3.64 euros. For the appetizer, the plates are very small and you can only go ones, same with other ones. For example, the last picture above contains the dessert options. You can only take one and if you want a second one, then you pay for it. Lol.
But for me, nah the main dish be my problem. Only God know the way and manner I will get myself filled up for such price. It's like half of what I pay to get a burger and kebab in the turkish shop in my street. For 3euros, I'll say it's cheap. but, a Nigerian who's used to a paint bucket of eba...then you'll have to go twice  I don't care, my stomach comes before anything |

You only have to pay 3+ euros to eat whatever you want once anyway.
Good night The Nigerian in me will make me misbehave when it comes to cheap food  |

MidEastPrince: Steps To Study In Germany (Part2)
Hello guys,
So yesterday, I dropped the first part of the step by step process of studying in Germany. I tried my best to make it as simple as possible to follow! Had to build on a content from a particular group member who shared the updated version. (Let’s say thank you to this person )
Moving on, you’ll find below the most important parts of all this waka! Infact, without a means of subsistence, one can’t go anywhere, even after getting AM!
Hope you enjoy the read!
:::::::::::::::::::::
5. MEANS OF SUBSISTENCE i) Funding your BLOCK ACCOUNT (BA) through Deutsche Bank, Fintiba OR any other efficient German bank to deposit €10,236 (minus bank service charges on both ends)
OR
ii) Get sponsor who is a German resident eligible to issue a VERPFLICHTUNGSERKLARUNG – Sponsorship Letter (SL)
OR
iii) Get a Scholarship from a German Institution
6. Interview Subsequently, I’ll drop some common interview questions for anyone who would like to have an idea of what to expect! It is majorly a conversation and some questions about Germany. For Bachelors degree applicants, the embassy has recently introduced tests to go with the interview.
7. Waiting Period for ApprovailMail (AM) This is one of the most crucial stages of this whole process. You would really be hit by a multitude of emotions. Waiting time can be between 4-12 weeks! It all depends on the discretion of the Visa Officer and the foreigners office in the city you’re headed! I have seen some who got their approval mail earlier than 4 weeks though. Infact, mine came in 2 weeks and 6 days. I have seen 4 days too! So it all depends.
Good news is, once you get this mail, you’re closest to the finish line! Except something dramatic happens after you send your Sponsorship Lettter or Blocked Account Confirmation or your passport.
If you use BA, you’ll get your Passport with visa under 5 days! If you use Sponsorship Letter, it could take a month. This is because the embassy would need to verify the document.
8. The A.M mail drops...Congratulations!!!
9. *Get travel insurance and book flight ticket whilst you send it alongside your international passport (if not collected on interview day).*
10. Safe Travels
That’s it guys! Thanks for reading.
Kindly like, share and comment! And don’t forget to ask your questions.  Everything boils down to getting funds for the B.A We all see the Deutschland as the promiseland but most of us have less fanincial power to kick-start this voyage. Why is no one talking about ways of getting BA funds. You are doing a great job here, OP |

Nice thread. Are you scholarship? How much did you this travel cost (including tuition fee). Thanks |
Travel › Re: From Lagos To Deutschland With Love! by Joohan: 10:42pm On Sep 11, 2019 |
MidEastPrince: If you have someone in Germany who meets the requirements to sponsor you, no problem!
The third option is if you get a scholarship in a German institution!
Later on in the thread, I’ll give a comprehensive step by step breakdown on the process of getting a German student visa. Congratulations bro. You've really gone through a lot. I'm happy for you. I know as time goes on, we will better concerning the SL  |
