Please does anyone know the price of lexus RX300 yr2000 model V6 complete belgium ENGINE AWD and where i can get to buy?

Which mechanic has been working on your car? Ask him for an auto parts market where you can get one.

AgreatMan:
I guess you can start looking for job after spending just one semester. You don't have to wait till the eleventh hour.

Really? OPT? After one semester? OPT trainees get paid like normal staff, and as the labour law stipulates, they cannot be paid less than a normal fully-employed staff with that degree and in a similar position would. This makes searching for OPT placement same task as searching for a full-time employment. So, one should not just bask in the euphoria of the whole 3-year package. We should have recent grads share their experiences trying to secure placement. cc bigfrancis21, Msnas

We didn't take any primary school leaving certificate exam as at 1990/91 during our set and consequently don't have the pslc, only testimonial. Would that be a problem? Anyone with similar story?

I am also curious about this first sch leaving cert. Will the embassy insist on it before interview? Someone who's experienced please tell.

Guys, please I need this cleared. How many months after the completion of your MS will you be given, to secure a placement for OPT before u are kicked out?

Time to brace up hustle. Bocked account minimum amount likely to increase any moment from now: http://www.internationale-studierende.de/en/prepare_your_studies/entry_into_germany/proof_of_financing/

Ok, I meant to post this here, but instead, mistakenly did in the USA visa thread:

SirRiddy, congrats! You are heading to a school I sent my GRE scores for MS in mech eng, but didnt
send an application. I got an admit to Tech Univ of Munich, Germany for Power Eng. This made me
soften my pursuit of US unis, especially after 3 rejects from Univ of Rhode Island, Michigan Tech and
Steven's Inst of Tech. My heart still lies with US , but I'm finding it difficult to forfeit the recognition
TUM has globally. It's currently ranked 53rd in the world, 5th best technical univ in Europe and the best
technical univ in Germany.

PS: Where did you do your MS?

Angelapinkytoes:
no possibility sir

Really? It's the 21st century and you still think there is such thing as impossibility?? 1.5m is even more than sufficient. Think Wild!!!

BlessedSamson:
Hello everyone, its been a while I checked here since I arrived in Germany some few weeks ago. I must really say that the hustle to get here is worth it...for my brothers still trying to push through pls just press on and above all believe not in your ability but in God.

The system here really demands you read and study...just be prepared for that...

Please share your experiences that justified the hustle. Let us ginjah!

Guys, please. Anyone got info on Wright state uni and their funding policies. Not talking about the theoretical info on their site. I'm looking out for students who actually got funded.

Guys, as touching OPT, do you automatically get your visa extended for 3 years after MS, or you have to secure placement first? If the latter is the case, do you still get 3 years, irrespective of the fact that you may have spent one year searching?

celestialAgent:
Lasgidi based fellas, abeg ao I go take reach German embassy from Yaba?

The easiest and fastest route (Time is of great essence).

From yaba, just walk straight to the embassy...will take u only 5 minutes. Or, better still, board a bus to obalende, and then a keke heading to adeola odeku. Get off at checking point and cross to the other side. There you are! Takes 5 minutes too. Just make your choice.

Painpill:
This Eke sha , wey those boys brandishing fine TUM admission letters at the embassy on Wednesday una done go low-key huh? Lobito et al

haha! busted! It wasnt wed I visited the embassy. Maybe if you were there on ... , you would have likely seen and heard me discussing with another dude about heading to TUM.

Good day guys, it feels good to be here. I have toiled the sea of Nairaland looking for where to meet my kinds, thank God I have finally found it.
My name is David, I am a graduate of Applied Geophysics (with CGPA of 3.83 / 5.0 )from Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University,Bauchi class 2014.
I really have love for geophysics but finance has really pegged me back. I will like to join the whatsapp group so as to keep myself abreast of the latest happening in the world of Geophysics. my number is 07039669470.

You've got a good GPA for this course. Think of going for Msc in petroleum geoscience in Norway. It's a tuition-free-study country.

House, I need to pay an app fee of 40 usd. Anyone to help, please? I'll deal at 300 naira.

I was at Iyana-ipaja this evening between 9:30pm and 9:40pm on my way to Ayobo. I saw this Deeper Life Church bus- the size of a brt, partly filled. I approached it as it slowed down to drop a passenger. Upon entering, I uttered 'church' to signal my desire to travel with it to their IBTC center in Ayobo. I had barely sat down when the two occupants right behind me had their both hands against my back, trying to prevent me from sitting. In a rude manner, with the driver, they chorused ''No! You don't know where we are coming from, you don't know where we are going. Go down!'' I reflexively uttered "are you not Christians!". To say I was shocked at their unaccommodating disposition would put it mildly. After much aggression from them, I got off. Then I reminisced within me:

1. I approached the bus with a shout of "church", yet they turned me down, disregarding the fact that I might be a church member. This implies lack of brotherly love.

2. Let's even say they felt I was not a church member, what if I had no bus fare and felt they could help as Christians! None of their business, right? What happened to the greatest commandment- 'love your neighbour as yourself'?

After the above questions, I thought 'What would Jesus do in this situation?' Needless to say their actions were absolutely in contrast to the answer.

What if I was a fresh convert to the church who needed love from fellow members. What if mine was an unsaved soul they could have won to Christ this night just by a show of love ?

The whole drama left me in awe, as it betrayed what the Church was known for. I had friends from this denomination when I was in school, and I fondly remember how loving they were. As I write, I keep wondering if the church had left its first love.

barleeh:

Hello house, thumbs up to everyone for the good work here. I got admitted to TUM MSPE programme and I need some clarifications as regards visa processing, accommodation and all. I will be dropping my questions as events unfold. Congrats to Lobito007 and others!

Congrats bro.

This was helpful. Thanks

dreamchaser90:
1. I wrote my postcode while filling the form, I don't know if it's acceptable to write N/A. You don't have a postal address?
2. I think it's OK. I wrote TUM and it was accepted.

Ok. Thanks. No, I'v got no postcode, except you mean residential address, which cannot occupy the 6-character space.

lobito007:
Just checked the form again and realized it says ''or equivalent personal identification number in this country''. Makes you absolutely correct. Two more questions, please:
1. The part that says 'post code' under personal details I wrote N/A. Is this acceptable or I just leave it blank?
2. In section 7, I filled in my school as 'Technical Univ of Munich', as the space provided could not occupy its full spelling. Any thing with this abbreviation?

I wonder why everyone keeps reading this and ignoring. Why evulz! Aren't we here to assist one another again?

Its not mandatory you yield to my opinion.
Deutsche bank delay someone's account number due to this same issue.After refilling the new form with passport number as TIN the problem was solved.
Passport number worked,if u have contrary opinion please follow your mind.

Passport number is used there.

Like, for real?? When this topic was treated, there were talks of one going to FIRS to generate a Tax Identification No (TIN). There was no mention of passport no. I am not trying to discredit your idea. Only need to be more clear.

As regards the section of the blocked account opening form asking for address for taxation purpose and tax i.d, I have decided to fill in my Lagos state tax clearance card number. Can this suffice together with my home address here in Nigeria?

barleeh:
I think you. Can apply anytime as long as u v gotten an offer and you'v opened a blocked account. We go gada enter TUM dis winter, still dey wait my admission

Keji74:
A month or two? That's too late o. Book now! I remember someone once posted he has been booked for July for interview already

chinok97:
Preferably a month or two months before resumption date

Thank y'all.

Guys, what is the earliest date I can apply for a visa interview for winter 2016?

praiseovie:
hello house, please a friend wants to know if someone can certify another set of documents for a particular school and program at the german consulate after he or she had already certified for that same school and program, but along the line discovered a need to rearrange and substitute some of the previous documents that was among those certified. would the person in charge of the certification know that you already certified for that particular school about 2 weeks ago, and question you.
thanks

I do not think that would be a problem. Records of the schools you have previously certified documents for are likely not kept.

biglord:

This is the equivalent of your Nigerian grade after conversion to the German scale.
