my full-time job is already Chrome extension, but you're right I left but came back because of fast money. I still get invites from Upwork

anyimontana:
on the contrary, I submitted June ending, preliminary review was November beginning, and I made a mistake which they send me a mail after a week, and I sent the correct doc same day, and they said that I will get response in a week

Orhorho:
No response yet

Jboyossai:
Dear all

Please, must I submit my proof of funds before I could join the queue for preliminary review?

lifeofgolden1:
I understand they carried out some updates on the portal.
However, when I try to access the page, I get a blank screen.

Is it because of the update or it is just happening to some selected people?

Who else is experiencing this, please?

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 🤞🏽✌🏾

Thats because the process has gotten veryy slow. Still preliminary review in april hasnt gotten to interview

Adelawal2011:
Please everyone waiting for a decision at the embassy should always check their email inbox and spam. I opened my mail today and saw an email from the embassy in my spam, and they asked that I come for a second interview. My first interview was about three weeks ago. has anyone experience this?

ZiggyZiggy:
Good evening everyone, seeing that a couple of people here have been going for their physical appointments, I want to know if anyone has gotten their visas yet, and if so when did you go for your interview. I'm trying to gauge the timeline between interview and visa at this point.

Mytime21:
Yes, I did. The Lagos diplo email right, if you can help share, I would be grateful. For some reasons, my application seems to be lagging, ZAB taking over 3months despite consistent follow-up only for them to request official transcripts after the 3months wait for the 2 degrees I put in for🤦🏽‍♂️. It's all good, all things work for good....

Please has anyone gone for the interview without doing nysc

Just so everyone knows. The current total wait time is over a year, the preliminary review correction alone can take 4-6 weeks. So patience is needed if youre going through this method

Sharpyyyyyyyyy:
I’m guessing he means the whole process. It gets slower by the day, except they increase pace. And he’s just saying y’all should be ready to be patient.

Adelawal2011:
If you were born after 1992, then you can submit your original birth certificate (hand written) if it was issued by NPC through your local govt. your birth cert must come from NPC. If the one issued by your local govt has Nation Population Commission as the Heading, then it is very okay, else you will need one from NPC. every other person born before 1992 will need an attestation letter from NPC, and the affidavit should be sworn by your father or Mother if father is deceased.

Adelawal2011:
Hello Guys ! Please while filling the videx form, here is the answer to the following questions:

intend to stay in Germany for no longer than twelve months and apply for a visa valid for the entire period of my stay: YES

Do you intend to retain your permanent residence outside the Federal Republic of Germany? NO (This is an immigrant visa)

Do you have health insurance (for a longer stay) for the Federal Republic of Germany? YES (You can bring it at the interview)

Please Purpose of Visa is not Employment. You have to select 'other' and then you type 'Opportunity Card'

Please do they get to request for NPC attestation/certificate? Or one can just make use of the original birth certificate (hand written) issued by the local government, as at the same period the person was born?

Diceman8:
April ending too

Sid57:
retain permanent residency outside Germany: now that's a tricky one, my response was yes, cos I aint bout to give up my residence for a place I am not sure of
answered yes for health insurance, but I purchased it after I picked an interview date.
I used the city I intended to stay in + a random postcode in same city
For the dates, just choose a close estimate to when you can actually go if you get the visa.

Diceman8:
Nope its been 2 weeks now since making corrections on october 13th

ehizojieonuku:
Thank you
Please should the laminated certificates be taken alongside the supplementary copy during the interview?

EAJG:
@Floorreach,

Yes they have.They contacted me on the 9th of Oct. and I was asked to make some corrections. I did the corrections and submitted on the 13th of Oct and still awaiting their response.

Diceman8:
Okay now that i found another person to confirm this. Theres 3 of us that i know of in ending april that have been in preliminary review foe over 4 weeks now.

Word of caution to everyone in the forum. The process has significantly slowed down, i am guessing it has to do with the amount of new people that entered germany "mainly students" september is a busy month for that so the government is probably really busy!.

And to everyone else that has seen their estimated time moved up from 2-8 weeks to 2-6months its probably true because they dont actually know when they will get to you at this point if april people have been waiting for 4 weeks on preliminary review alone. Only god knows how long it will take

Hannania:
Use Dr Walter's. You don't pay until your get to Germany

Diceman8:
Yes you need health insurance together with your blocked account
