Which exact rule did sassy violate that made the admin ban her?

Come on, we are in democracy for crying out loud. Even a criminal has the right to fair hearing talkless of someone who until now nobody has come out to accuse her of any wrong doing. So what on earth is happening, I am particularly disturbed. There could be some persons who would be looking at sassy like one who has committed a fraudulent activity. So why not allow her explain her own side of the story?

. Did anyone accuse her for wrong doing?

ShinaLe:
Yes. But it's necessary u get ur RP on the initial passport as the visum is sometimes 3months or 6 months

. Thanks brother

Immafrank:
Whatever permit you tryna get in Germany, they would not exceed the validity of your passport. If your passport expires next year August, then that is the validity of permit you will get.

dayhborwhale:
I have written them severally with no response.

. Oh ok

Modesta24:
What are you talking about? If they answer emails do you think we will be here asking questions? If you don't have the answer to his question...just pass

. Aggressive fellow it is just an advice don't be rude we are here to advice each other what is your problem?? I am not perfect as well. No vex

dayhborwhale:
I tried another booking for the same categoryB but it says my passport number entry has to be unique, that a different appointment with the same booking as been made. I believe they referring to the categoryB booking a made in august. Does anyone have update about the reshuffling they talked about? I dont know if in to cancel the previous one because it says I have an entry with my information, maybe they will still give somebody date( kin ma lò fi òwòmi sey arami. Resumption date I had on the previous application is over. Anyone with same issues? Anyone with a way out?

. Why don't you email the German consulate this answer is very simple email the German consulate and ask questions they will answer.

evergreen9:
I really don't know, although I was told the embassy wouldn't be open until the 4th of October 2019, I don't know why or if there's any truth to this. if its true then maybe the best time to re-book would be on the 4th but I still don't know if we should

-cancel and re-book.
-go ahead and just re-book without cancelling.
- leave the previous booking we already made.

The whole process is really confusing at this moment.

. Why don't you email the consulate and ask questions they will respond.

I hope is not studienkollege? Looking forward to answers.

Do you believe this info that is impossible, German embassy will not cancel any bookings I booked in September and I got a date . If they want to cancel they will not give out dates........my 1milion advice to people who have got an appointment date...don't cancel..embassy will not cancel any appointment I repeat embassy will not cancel any appointment. If you were unable to get a date you can reapply from october 1st. One love

ajeleseujn:
February 2020 is another semester, and different policies with the embassy during interview booking. There is more certainty that you will be booking a new interview date when it's time for summer application.

All the best.

. Do you believe this info that is impossible, German embassy will not cancel any bookings I booked in September and I got a date . If they want to cancel they will not give out dates.

evergreen9:
Hmm..may God help us oh! I understand the German embassy would be cancelling all bookings at the end of the month. Would emails be sent out informing applicants about the cancelled appointments?

If you're going to a big city where they have lots of applications, it may take them time to process them all. Also September/October is the peak of winter period with thousands of foreign students resuming schools so the workload is much. Just calm down, If you're below the 6 week mark (i.e it's not up to 6 weeks after your interview) then don't worry. Find ways to keep busy and distract yourself instead of refreshing your mail every minute.
Here's a general advice to those awaiting AM on how not to go crazy while waiting:
- If you haven't, start doing research on your school and the city it's located. Connect with students in the school, you can find them here on Nairaland or on Facebook. Ask them questions and let them tell you about life in school, the city, student jobs, activities etc.
- Start searching for accommodation, Housing in Germany is a big issue, and if you're heading to a city like Munich it's way more difficult. if you don't get accommodation, then you need to plan where you'll stay till you get accommodation ( Tip: avoid hotels and use youth hostels, They're far cheaper).
- Start reviewing your course modules, education in Germany is not easy. Download your course modules on the school's website and start looking at the courses you'll take, get textbooks and materials and start reading. if possible, you can connect with a student doing the course and plead with them to send you materials. Start reading oooo.
- There's a shopping list on the Nigeria Students in Germany thread, you can use it to start packing and preparing your things.

May all those awaiting AMs receive their testimony in Jesus' name.

stevebankz:
Can someone from another EU country Sponsor you?

. No. only someone Residing in Germany

holadhayor1:
Good morning all,
Did anyone use SL from Pforzheim lately?

. READ THIS NOTE:: THIS IS NOT MY POST BUT I GOT IT ON THIS THREAD AS WELL. /b]This important information is for all winter semester applicants and future ones that will be using Verpflichtungserklarung fur studium (Sponsorship Letter, sl), please read carefully all that is involved using sl and how the embassy operates with it.[b]

Firstly, I want to let you know that using a Verpflichtungserklarung fur studium does not guarantee the issuance of student visa (I don’t care where you will be getting it from whether issued by a family, an acquaintance, or you paid), you stand the same chance as every other applicant using Blocked account. If you are using sl, you can still be rejected on the basis that your sponsor is not capable. The rejection is always in this form from the embassy.

“Your secured subsistence cost is not ensured in Germany”
“There are doubts regarding your secured subsistence cost in Germany”

Now I know you want to ask me why the office in Germany gave your sponsor the letter if he wasn’t capable to sponsor you in the first place. I want you to know that different cities/town in Germany have their own criteria in giving out the sl. Let’s take a case like the Auslanderbehorde in Munich, if your sponsor is living in Munich which is the most expensive city in Germany, as of September 2018, your sponsor must be earning 1,880 Euro monthly before tax to sponsor 1 person if he is single (and must be earning 2,610 Euro to sponsor 2 people), if he has a kid living with him or married without kid, he must be earning 2,300 Euro monthly before tax to sponsor 1 person (and must be earning 3,040 Euro to sponsor 2 people), if he is married with a kid, he must be earning 2,540 Euro monthly before tax to sponsor 1 person (and must be earning 3,270 Euro to sponsor 2 people), if he is married with 2 kids, he must be earning 2,780 Euro monthly before tax to sponsor 1 person (and must be earning 3,510 Euro to sponsor 2 people). This is the breakdown of how Munich checks your sponsor to see his/her eligibility to sponsor you. So different cities got its own breakdown of how much your sponsor must be earning monthly to sponsor you. Normally, after all monthly tax, bills and have been deducted from his monthly salary, he must have 720 or 730 Euro left, that’s how they do it. You can see it equates to the amount of blocked account (BA) to be dispensed to you monthly if you are using BA.

Now, some cities issues this letter even without your sponsor not being capable or not earning that stipulated amount and that is where you start having issues with the foreigners office of the city you are heading to and definitely with the embassy. A city I know that gives sponsors the sl without the sponsor being capable is pforzheim, Germany. This city dishes out the letters anyhow and most of the letters I have seen that comes from pforzheim always ended up being rejected by the embassy. Part of the criteria generally in Germany in issuing this sl is that your sponsor must hold a Permanent Residence permit or Temporary residence permit or must be a German citizen or EU citizen to sponsor you (This is the only residence titles your sponsor must have to be issued the sl). Now there is what they call fiktionbeschenigung (fiction certificate), this is the permit they give people living in Germany that applied for a residence permit and the foreigners office has not yet decided on the residence permit whether to issue the applicant or not, so they give the person a fiktionbeschenigung, this person can work with it pending the time they decide on his/her RP. This person is not allowed to stand as a sponsor which is clearly stated by most cities in Germany but pforzheim can give people with a fiktionbeschenigung (that’s how bad pforzheim is), now imagine you are applying to another city with this sl signed by a person with a fiktionbeschenigung, that’s auto rejection.

Let me talk about Hannover city, now Hannover has one of the strictest foreigners’ office in Germany, and the place is always filled up. If your sl is coming from any city in Germany, whether from Munich, Hamburg, and so on, just know that Hannover will write your sponsor through postal mail to send some documents including his/her 3 month payslips to check the creditworthiness of the sl, Hannover will now make their own calculations to see if your sponsor is really capable (they always do this because they know some cities are not strict with the letter and due to fluctuating credit-rating of different cities), after making their own calculations and they see your sponsor does not meet up their criteria, then sorry is your case, even if your sponsor is a white German or White EU citizen, they will write him, and if your sponsor doesn’t get the letter Hannover sent him asking for his docs, that’s not their problem, and they wont write another one, so your sponsor must have a working mail box. You might want to ask how they will know your sponsor’s address, your sponsors address will be asked when filling the sl. So I advise you all, please if your letter is coming from another city and you are going to Hannover, don’t try it, you will be disappointed, the best is for your sl to come from Hannover if you are heading to hannover, you wont even have issues, that’s auto acceptance. Hannover is the only city I know that writes sponsors to send documents and this is how to verify sl issued from other cities.

Furthermore, there is a particular number of people a person can sponsor (I don’t the exact number) but let me give you a real life case that happened summer 2018 and winter 2018. There is this German-Nigerian man in Germany, he own a company so he is earning so much money to even sponsor 40 students, in summer 2018, he sponsored about 7 people and they made it to Germany. In winter 2018, he gave about 11 people sl again, and embassy rejected all of the 11 people. Why? Because there is a rule of how many people you can sponsor. Why did they give him in the office in Germany since he was already sponsoring 7 people? The answer is he went to another city to get the sl. Yes, your sponsor can leave his residence city and go to another city to get the sl.

If your sponsor is living in Berlin, Berlin has 2 offices where this sl is issued from, there is one for long term (student, family reunioun and so on) and there is office for short term (visiting, tourism and so on.)
Also, the embassy are not the ones that verifies sl, embassy send your sl to the city you are heading to in Germany and the city does the verification, now the embassy can still decide whether to give you the visa or not, meaning even if your foreigners office in Germany approves your visa, embassy can still reject you for different reasons. They might say “they doubt your indicated purpose of trip” they have their own convictions are you cant sue or fight them.

I hope I have stated all what prospective applicant that wants to use sl needs to know. And please and please, don’t pay anybody you don’t know personally for sl, I read part 4 of this thread where a guy was scammed 400k, a lot of scammers in town now cause they know people are desperate to leave Nigeria, and there are scammers in Germany too, if you get scammed, you get scammed for life, you cant hold anybody, and even if you got the sl and the embassy rejects you based on any reason, then the money you paid is gone.
This is my 2 cents. BE WISE and BE SHARP!!!! [/b]A lot of people are crying in one corner now for this.[b]
I read a post some pages back where one Guy was saying he has 2 million naira and he can’t raise the remaining 1.6 million for the blocked account. Dude if you are reading this, you better hustle for that complete money. I have a friend that had to stay back for a year in Nigeria to get the complete blocked account money and now he is in DE.

NB: sl can be handwritten (filled with pen) or typed-written. sl from Munich is always handwritten except for the official remark, date of entry, employer of your sponsor, and date of issuance of the sl, all these I mentioned are always typed. To get a sample of sl and how it looks like, type “Verpflichtungserklarung” on google, facebook or Instagram, you will see samples.
And please when you get your sl, before the sponsor sends the original by post mail, always request for the softcopy and check that your details (Full name, passport number, date of birth, purpose of stay in Germany) is correct.

ShinaLe:
Based on what I observed here. People hardly apply to schools there, so where's the huge application coming from

. My brother what I mean by huge application is not only in Nigeria do you know the population of Berlin, Berlin is the capital of Germany everybody want to live in Berlin, the Alien office will always be very busy with different applications, I am talking about Berlin Alien office not German embassy in Nigeria

ShinaLe:
Why are people not getting AM from Berlin?
Is it that people don't like schooling in that State?
Or is the Allen office there slow?
@sassy @Deutschmann @Fabcol

. Guess Berlin is a very busy state , especially the alien office receive Huge application but it will end in praise.

yelei:
I don't have any ties. Pls how could dat mess up my application?

. Ties mean family ties, Job ties, they don't want you to stay back after studies you have to prove to them that you are coming back after your studies. You have all this ties in your country not Ghana.

Budweiser1:
Hello NL, I trust we are all doing good.
Please, I'd love to know if I can travel with some antibiotics and antimalaria? one never can tell when he will be down.

. Brother be very careful with Drugs that contain heroin, forget about antibiotics original cheap ones is available in Germany. I trust you have health insurance, about anti malaria they have everything over there. If your body is not OK from Nigeria use an anti malaria before you travel.

sassy92:
Really? Please share details, when did you book, what date were you given? what start date did you use? this AD thing has given people sleepless nights

. Baba choose a date according to your admission letter so that the same problem that happened in winter will not happen again...so many people picking date without admission letter yet.... it is too early if your school will start from March 2020. Just relax and apply for admission. My school start in January.
