Not Studienkolleg.
Mechanical Engineering.
University of Duisburg-Essen.

Philfit:
So how does hat work, you’d have to spend about 4-6 months before you start learning? That’s not bad tho. I’d want to lean in german. If you get accepted winter that means you won’t start till summer or even next winter ? How does it work. Thanks for the blessings ��

BSC starts in winter semester while MSC starts in winter/summer, so if you have your B1 certificate, you'll start right away.
It would take lesser time if you did at least one level before coming.

agugu:
@KingUCC pls what are the information that will be needed,the process and cost to get SL.... I want to know so that I can explain to my uncle who is a German citizen..

He'd have to go to the foreigners office in his city, they'd ask for documents to show he's qualified to sponsor you. If he's qualified, they'll ask for your admission letter and your passport data page. It costs about 29€.

Philfit:
Nice one bro, that my dream uni. Pray for me.
How long do you need to do the language course before you start tho?

I pray you're admitted.
You need B1 certificate to enrol fully.
Each level takes about 6+ weeks. It'd be easier for you if you did some levels ( or at least A1) in Nigeria before coming over.
Best wishes bro.

Lacazette1:
Congrats bro.
But then when you still had issues with them. You should have known that you were to submit the original SL immediately it arrived here. Probably you weren't too informed then. The embassy deals with originals and not just mere photocopies especially when it comes to Verpflichtungserklärung. Normally, they should have mailed you to send or drop the original but they decided to feed on your ignorance (these guys don't care sometimes) and sometimes it depends on the person handling your application.
All the best mate.

Thank you @Lacazette1

Hello guys,
What do you have to say about my case?
I was interviewed on 13th September, mailed my sponsorship letter to the Embassy on 18th September, the Embassy mailed me back on 28th September to contact my sponsor to correct a mistake on the SL by producing a new one. My sponsor was only gonna be chanced on 22nd October to go for a new one because of the nature of her Job, it was gonna be a long wait but I had no choice.
My AM came on 10th October and one of the documents asked for was a proof that matriculation deadline would be extended for me in case I would have to travel after 5th November.
So the new SL was ready and was mailed to me on 23rd October, I printed it on a concord paper and took it the Embassy alongside my Passport and the other docs same day. I forwarded same SL as a reply to the mail which asked for a new one and also to info@lago.diplo.de the next day. The real copy of the SL got to me later. 1st November was my supposed travel date.
I have sent several mails and called the Embassy severally too. One of the times(in November), the lady operator called a VO to speak to me, she asked for my name, reference number and confirmed the documents I submitted and said they'd work on it. One week later, the operator placed me on hold, came back and said they're working on it, the next week, she said I'd soon hear from them, and this was all in November.
Well, I still didn't hear from them until 12th December when they replied a mail I sent in Deutsche on 10th December, they said I should be assured that all enquiries would be treated, that they couldn't reveal any more details about my status and that I should be a little more patient until they get back to me. I'd also like to state that my admission is for one year, which means I can enrol in either Winter semester 2018 or in Summer semester 2019.

I had to be as detailed as I could so you guys would get a clear picture of the ordeal.

Well, my patience-tank which was initially full has just about 2 cups remaining before I loose it.

So wetin una thinks say I fit do for this matter as the matter don dey tire me??

Hello guys,
So my visa was delayed by the Embassy until I figured out what the problem was. It was delayed for about for 2 months and 3 weeks( no one should mention village people ).
The delay was because I sent them a printed copy of my SL instead of the original copy (I didn't have the original yet). I sent lots of mails and made several calls until 4th January, I called, the call operator asked, the visa section said they didn't understand the proof of means of subsistence I sent, and so I figured it's because It wasn't the original.
I took the original to them same day and they called me 4 days later to ask when I'd like to travel.
A piece of advice, ensure you send them the originals of whatever documents they ask for after AM, (especially SL, that's if it wasn't with you during your interview) because they may not tell you why your visa is delayed until it's too late.
Also, always go with your visa application receipt if you wanna drop off your documents and you do not have appointment letter, else Paulinus will use you to shine( this post would be incomplete without the name 'Paulinus' ), he shined with me and I had to take bike from Walter Carrington to the Mainland and back just to beat 12 noon closing time .

And so I bounced into Germany with my small traveling bag, a Tshirt and a Jean Jacket like a big boy.
When I walked out of the plane, the cold shocked my neck and my legs and my body started vibrating intermittently like I had seasonal epilepsy, and I told myself 'mehn -5^C doesn't look good on you'. When I walked out of the Airport, my big boyness vanished, I became dumb as the vibration had taken over my entire body.
Thanks to one of the Ogas here who came to my rescue at the Airport, I would have started going to Thuringia instead of Duisburg.
So if you coming to Deutschland any time soon(though winter is gradually going), ensure you have your thermal wears and appropriate jackets, else the cold will deal with you until you find your feet.

For small traveling bag, the advantage is that you wouldn't struggle from the airport to wherever you going but you'd have to deal with eating food that tastes like 'what I don't know' . If you can, bring as much home food as possible, unless you have money for African stores.

And so, if you using SL, ensure you come with enough money, you'll need it for feeding, train transportation(Until you get your semester ticket). You should also ensure you have a temporary place of abode, else you'll need money for temporary shared rooms until you get your apartment, except, of course, you secured a room/apartment before coming over.

Lastly, if you applied/are applying for accommodation with Studierendenwerk(especially for NRW), you can pay the reservation fee when they ask you to, just to have a room reserved for you, but do not sign their contract just yet until you've secured your visa and gotten over to Deutschland, to avoid having nasty experience.

P.S. Everything I wrote about isn't standard, it's just personal opinion.

To everyone waiting on admission confirmation, visa interview appointment, visa interview day, AM, visa delivery etc., I wish you all the best of luck.

You're welcome sir

Good morning all,

Does anyone know if the student promo for international flights to Germany are still available, and which Airlines are offering, and what price?

Emirates and Turkish Airline.
The promo code for Emirates is NGSTU18, check if it applies to the city you're going and the fare for the date you want, it's been N188k+ anyways
For Turkish Airline, you may need to go to their office to book a reservation. I guess It's cheaper than Emirates

ferrariLaferrari:

Ndkings1:
I was born after 1990, so, I was advised on here to get affidavit for age deceleration. I just got this one this morning.

Please is the right one?

The checklist for Student's Visa says Age Declaration has to be "deposed to" by the Head of the family.

diego2015:
bro what's the reason pls

Embassy asked me to contact my sponsor to provide a new SL and they understand it can take sometime to get, so the extension is just in case I may have to travel after 5th November.

Kenechill:
But will they allow u travel without the proof of enrollment extension?

I was asked to bring it alongside my Passport, so I have to get it.

nutella:
Finally guys! It's here..

Interview- 13th September
Funded before interview
AM- 10th October
University of applied sciences, Fulda.

The embassy asked for proof of enrollment extension and my school hasn't been replying my mails. Is there anyone in Fulda that can help me out, please?

I was interviewed 13th September and got AM 10th October just as you. I also have same condition of getting enrolment extension, but I totally understand the reason for my condition.
Congratulations.

sucre90:
Gurus I need clarification on how to go about, cause am using SL not blocked account.

My previous SL stated "Language Course", my sponsor
Wasn't satisfied with that, so she went back to change it to SL for "Study" before sending it to me. So, I think You should contact your sponsor immediately to change it.
Best wishes.

Guten Abend alle zusammen
Special salutations to all the elders in the house.
Please, is there any one studying in Duisburg (I got admitted into Uni Duisburg - UDE). How is the accommodation situation in the town? I got a room offer from the Studentenwerk for €265 monthly. I feel it is too expensive, what do u think? I'm supposed to pay the caution/reservation fee (€600) immediately. I already bought the euro but have been experiencing problems transfering it from Naija to Germany. Please, anyone who wants to pay euro into a dorm account in Nigeria can PM me.
Thanks a lot guys.

I am going to University of Duisburg-Essen too
