Hi everyone, i'm George by name and i've been following this thread for a while now. I'm an applicant for fall semester Language studies in Korea. I am not impressed at all with the silence of this beloved thread which is full of detailed information and key insights concerning the whole process of studying in korea. We have people here, that have come and gone through this thread but they refuse to share success stories. Nobody is updating the house on first hand gists or tips. I'm not asking for much but please let's try to find time to drop posts here and encourage the people like us that have found interest to study in korea. I indulge everyone to please say something and let's keep this thread alive and hale. I appreciate each and every one of you guys. Thanks so much. Cheers!

kcluv2men:
Thanks bro, how long did it take you to get your admission package? I will let you know when i find out bro. But check korean embassy for visa requirements for you programme because they are different from language visa but will clarify on the foreign affairs legalization as soon as i get hold of concrete details.

kcluv2men:
I was able to speak with a korean administrative staff that called me to come pick up my documents. I used the opportunity to confirm about visa processing times and she said minimum of ten business days but it actually differs depending on the case of various applicants because of clarification of bank statement and other processes but i think they're efficient persons. Aside from vfs that isn't reliable. And mind you i went to pick up my documents myself because i stated it was urgent in an e-mail i sent to them about meeting up with a deadline. She's a good person as she even called me with her personal number. Those bad belle security men for gate even stopped me and told me they were on break that i should return in 2hours time after explaining to them about my plight. I just called her and she came to attend to me personally. For now, that's all i can say.

kcluv2men:
I am back from Abuja and i thank God for journey mercy to and fro. Done with authentication,legalization and embassy seal(confirmation) and sent my documents via Fed Ex to Kumoh. Expecting a response from them asap. Please, gurus in the house should keep us updated on new developments and life generally in Korea via posts and updates. Cheers guys!

Thanks bro. I'm considering asking an aunt to pay for me in the states and i'll credit her naira account here. Would it be a faster process than using the banks? Cc acadollar,don milky,puritymypride,vknonkwo and every other person with knowledge about this suggestion

kcluv2men:
Guys, how long does it take embassy to legalize documents both here in Nigeria and for those that did theirs in korea through friends? I have submitted since tuesday(10am) and the lady at the reception promised to call when it's ready. I haven't seen any alert from her till now. Even though she said it would take tentatively two days processing time. Today is the third day already and it's delaying my process. Also, how long does it take to pay school fees from Nigeria and receive admission package from korea? Is there any option to expedite this service and probably pay through tuition for it. Please help to clarify guys.

@acadollar,
I was at the Nigerian embassy this monday to submit my visa application but they got me scrolled. they said i need to travell within 3 months of visa approval , but the last time i went, they told me it was okay to start the visa application even when i told them i was not ready to travel till the end of the year.

The Nigerian lady up there needs to be retrained on customer service, she would not respond to me even when i greeted, had eye contact and told her i needed to talk to her. I was about to lose my cool on her but something in me kept cooling the shyte out of me. It was one korean lady that later came and she went to call a Nigerian man who said he's from akwa ibo for me, he was really cool though, he said i should come back again within 3 months of travelling and i don't need to reschedule for any appointment, a walk in will be fine.

I Bought a return flight ticket with Qatar air, that was the fastest i could find with about 18hrs and 15hrs respectively. This is going to be the longest flight journey ever.

Over all satisfaction with the Nigerian Embassy is 2/10.
