Tifay:
Hello,

What were the back and forth you had on the preliminary stage that lasted for 3 months. Can you kindly share

Did they ask for additional corrections after you corrected all and sent back. Please be as detailed as you can.

I needed to do ZAB which took 3months, I had to do alot of affidavit because most of my documents had name issues.
Apart from those, everything went smoothly afterwards.

Tifay:
Were you able to successfully use the company/other purpose transcripts or you had to get the student copy still?

And were questions raised on the company one?

Good morning, yes I was able to successfully use the company assigned to the company and there was no questions raised about it.

I live in Germany, and I can tell you that learning the language will definitely make your life and stay here better. It allows you to take advantage of more opportunities.
Regarding Germans not being friendly, I would say that Germans tend to minimize interaction with strangers even when those strangers are other Germans.
These reasons shouldn’t deter you from coming to Germany. I know people who are doing well here without speaking German up to a B2 level or enjoying friendliness .

Hello Vilbray, I just moved into Germany & I agree with you that Germans aren’t that bad too.
But I’ll love to know if you have gotten a job & what are the details of the kind of Jobs(no of work hours, must the job be related to your course of study) one can get to finalize your stay?
Thanks.

We need answers here please 🙏

No, you don’t need to show proof. They just want to know if you are really ready to get a job over there. Moreover, you should still have like an email or messages to proof you have been searching for jobs, they can act funny and ask for proof.

Hey guys!!!!!!!!

Good news 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Did my interview 6th of January. I just got my visa approved today.
It was a long wait but it was worth the wait.

cc150615:
Nothing to worry about, this happened to me too, it's because they take a while to update the portal.

Oh alright then. Thank you so much

Smokyasl:
Check your email and spam mails if the embassy didn’t send an email for a second interview then just ignore it. The portal might remain like that even after you have gotten your visa.

There’s no email from them. Thank you 🙏🏽🙏🏽

Good afternoon everyone,

Please I need clarification from people here, I had my interview by January 6th but my portal keeps showing this (appointment booking) and I want to know if this is normal.
Thanks

Aderonke2025car:
How was your interview?

Good morning, my interview went smoothly thank God.
I was asked mostly things about my documents submitted on their portal. Why Germany?, who am I staying with?, why not other English country?, what are my future plans? And like 10 aptitude tests on my field of study (physics & maths).
Be ready to stand for 40mins plus answering your interview questions.

saxwizard:
Additionally those VO will try to destabilize you.

No panic na their way 🤣

Lol 😂 thank you o

Aderonke2025car:
I wish you best of luck, please don't forget to share your experience with us too. Moreover when did you join the waiting list?

Thank you.
Well, I’ve joined the waiting list since March, I’ve had alot of back and forth too.

KazOlufemi:
Hi, make sure you have all the documents you ve uploaded on the Portal,
2) Have your cash or card with Funds in it
3) Do revision with Chatgpt based on your field
4) Be ready to stand on your feet for at least 45mins
5) When you re asked if you speak German, you could say No. Only if you are C2. It depends on your VO though.
6) For aptitude test please make sure your handwriting is clear and easy to read.
7) Get to the Emabassy as early as possible
Most importantly, pray…May God help us all.

Wishing you all the Best!!!

Thank you so much 🙏🏽
I appreciate it

Good morning everyone!

I just went through this thread and thought to let y'all know that my appointment for the OpC is tomorrow (Wednesday).

If you have any advise, I’ll be more than happy to listen.

By Gods grace, it’d all work out well in the end 🤞🏽✌🏾

Good evening, please I’ve my interview next week Tuesday….. I’ll love to know how yours went and if you were given a kind of test related to your field of study ( if yes, was it oral or theoretical or objective).
Thank you 🙏🏽

femiscot:
Yes they will ask you questions based on your field of study; ask you questions like what happens if you don’t get a job, how do you plan to support yourself etc

Thanks a lot 🙏🏽

femiscot:
just checking in again to see if anyone who did their interview at the embassy in late october (i did mine oct 29th) has gotten their passport back or any feedback from the embassy , i haven’t heard anything till now…

Good afternoon, I’ll love to know these 🙏🏽
Please what kind of questions did they ask you? Was there any form of quiz/test given too?

Good morning everyone,
I joined waitlist since March, had lots of forth & back during preliminary stage(August- November ).
I’ve finally gotten an interview appointment for January.

I appreciate everyone that has given very vital informations on this trend, most have been so helpful.

I’ll sincerely appreciate if anyone can tell me exactly what I should be expecting at the interview process including the kind of questions that might be asked.
Thanks 🙏🏽

Floorreach:
good day everyone.

Please who has gone for the interview or who has been asked to submit in recent times? so we know what date the embassy is presently?

Good afternoon, I’ve been under preliminary review since August 15/16th(which they wrote will take one week) but I’ve not gotten any email or message yet.

victorygiven:
it seem signed motivational letter and cv are now mandatory for option1 , kindly write a motivational letter, print and signed on it then scan it and upload for them, also submit your CV.

Thank you so much. I’ve written the motivational letter already, just to print it out and sign now.

victorygiven:
then upload the one for the company maybe they will accept,pls i want to know how long it takes for the review that is why i asked that question

Please this just popped up today. What do they mean by ‘signed motivational letter and cv’

Hannania:
Merge them as one pdf and upload in that section that requests for degree

Okay I’ll do that today. I’m trying to get my primary certificate now. Hopefully, all goes as plan today.
I’ll give you guys updates when this works.
Thank you @Hannania and @Victor 🙏🏽

victorygiven:
Hi bro, did you get an update from them to change this? i saw your comment that you joined PR 4th of August, when did you get this update from them? if you update the transcript showing its for company only if they aint okay they will correct you again, i guess you should get new one from your school or wait for @Hannania to comment

Getting a new one from school right now will take so much time.

Hannania:
You don't have a certificate of graduation?

I do have certificate of graduation. That was what I uploaded at first.

Hannania:
Anabin is for degree recognition and universities. Your HND is vocational study, and you have to do a recognition(DAB) which takes approximately 2 months and cost you €150.

Once you get that, you qualify as a skilled worker.

Good evening, please I need clarification on this issue, can I use a transcript that was assigned to a ‘company use only’ and it was badly written on it

Osumare2013:
Does anyone know which date they are now? Like, did anyone get invite for preliminary review in the last couple of days?

Good morning, I’ve been under preliminary review since 4th of August, still waiting for an update or email from them. (Joined waiting list March 28th though)

Hannania:
The first is the page where your course is listed, the second is for thr page where it shows your university as H+. Alternatively, you can upload ZAB's letter

Thank you so much. Will do that and give an update 🙏🏽

Good evening please I need help. What do they mean by this ? Do they mean the printout from Anabin?

Hannania:
As many times as you like

Diceman8:
What date did you get into waiting list?

I joined the waiting list March 28th. It was showing 1-2weeks wait period as at two weeks. But it changed back to 2-8weeks yesterday.

Sharpyyyyyyyyy:
I guess that would be the next set to be asked to submit. How many months is showing as your estimated wait time?

It’s getting really slow. Almost 2 months just for march. Hmmm

It’s showing 2-8weeks, this is the 7th week thou.

I joined the waiting list by March 28th

Sharpyyyyyyyyy:
Since you’ve not submitted, that means you’re still on the waitlist. When did you join the waitlist?

This screenshot is what I’m seeing under the preliminary review.

Sharpyyyyyyyyy:
Have you been asked to submit for preliminary review? If yes, and nothing yet, then you should check if they asked you to change or provide any additional documents.

@sharpyyyyyyyyy
I’ve submitted all the required documents. Or please

Sharpyyyyyyyyy:
Have you submitted ? I think that’s the first step

what do you mean by ‘if I’ve submitted’?

Please has anyone who joined the waiting list by March 20th-28th gotten an appointment date ?🙏🏽
I’m trying not to get worried.
