4realisreal:
I applied for MSC at Trier University since May. Deadline was 31st May. Up till now no update from the sch. I have sent mails to the sch no reply. Just this morning I got a mail from the accommodation dept of the sch asking me to book and sign an accommodation contract form which was attached to the mail. The email was only in English but that wasn't the problem as I can translate with Google.

Now the worries is that no admission letter yet from the sch and how did the accommodation dept get my details?

Please I need ur comments, please!

Not true.

My Transcript 4/07/2019

I lodged at bayland guest house the night before my interview. Got a pretty decent room for 5k, there was AC, a small TV and decent toilet. Set off for the keke park at 5:20am, 5 mins walk from bayland. Then I boarded a keke going to the embassy, By 5:30 I was already at the parking lot. I had to drop my bag with one of the guys there as my laptop was inside and i wouldn’t be allowed to take it into the embassy. He said i should bring 3k, las las we bargained and he agreed for 1k5. Then he told me I had to make colored prints of my passport page and not black and white, said I will be sent back if I don’t do that, Na so I quickly call Deutschemann oh, he told me it wasn’t true.

Got to the embassy main gate by 5:40am and the security told me to hang around, then I saw there was a mini queue already, I joined the queue, I was the fourth on the line but third on the line for student visa as the first guy was for short term visa.

Oga Paulo stepped in around 6:30 and started arranging chairs, cleaned his podium. He fits all the descriptions I’ve seen on this platform but I expected him to be fatter

Short term visa people were first attended to, then two people for reentry visa. As regards your forms, no need to staple your admission letter nor application form. Just arrange all your documents: originals first and two photocopies behind and hold with a paper clip, Oga Paulo will staple them.

The girl in front of me was bounced to the back of the line because she brought out her visa money when oga paulo hadn’t asked her to do so. As I was sitting down, I wanted to recount my money because we can’t tell, my village people fit don do something make my money don disappear , Na so Oga Paulo sight me oh, asked me why I am bringing out money when he hadn’t asked for it, one security guy joined him and said i wanted to show them I had money. Me I just smiled and jejely pocketed the money back.

Basically, Oga Paulo no get wahala, just follow his instructions, move at his pace, don’t jump and make sure you keep your calm. Anything he says, do it, if he tells you to set your documents on fire, my people, set them on fire oh!

Interview proper! The questions are basically everything we’ve seen in the previous transcripts, nothing new, The VO was the black man in room 4, pretty chilled guy.

VO: What are you here for?
VO: do you have a scholarship?
Me: no
VO: why
Me: it was too late for me to apply

He saw my blocked account confirmation and gave me two forms to fill. He told me to cancel deutsche Bank and write sutor bank on the two. Then, I told him I'm going to use SL but it isn't with me yet, he said no problem.

VO: what is your name
Me: Told him
VO: what course are you going for ?
Me: usability Engineering
VO: wait! And you said you studied psychology ?
Me: Yes, the course is an interdisciplinary field
VO: did you apply with your correct credentials?
Me: yes
VO: are you aware that we will also do some checking here to see if your bachelors degree is related to your masters degree and if not...hehehe
Me: can I explain?
VO: go ahead

so I explained to him how psychology was related to the intended masters course; usability engineering and how the course wasn’t fully an engineering course as the name implies. While I was doing this, he went on to check the school website and saw that truly psychology was a prerequisite.

VO: yes, you’re right!
VO: where are you headed to?
Me: Kamp lintfort
VO: What university ?
Me: Rhine Waal University of Applied Sciences
VO: and Campus is Kamp lintfort?
Me: yes
VO: 100% sure ?
Me: 100%
VO: Do you have any family or friends in Germany ?
Me: Yes, 2 Friends
VO: what are they doing there?
Me: one is working and one is studying
VO: do you speaking german?
Me: no

After I had recited about up to 15 facts I crammed about germany. He asked if I had any questions for him, so I said yes

Me: I’d be receiving my SL tomorrow, will sending it in next week cause a delay?
VO: No, document processing won’t start till two weeks time and the overall process will take about 4-8 weeks.
Any other “important questions”?
Me: in my mind: “so this question no Dey important? Chai!”

My session took about 40-45 minutes.

Special shoutout to Deutschemann. You be correct person!

I just knelt down and prayed after prayer I started reading my visa interview Q&A... 4:30 already dressed up and rain was still falling,,,, sharply ordered for taxify this village men won't see me lol..

Got to the embassy around 5:10 met a girl and a guy, Mr P never show.. We waited till 6:20 ,then the security men came to stamp our appointment letters and told us to wait for Mr P, shortly Mr P came and ushered short term visa people in first then after student visa which I entered and sat.

Fast forward to document arrangement

Please and please follow Mr P' instructions and you would be fine... After you have already made sure you have all the requirements on that checklist o!!!!!!!

spicyuzo:
Greetings everyone, please I have a question especially directed to our gurus in DE, much appreciations to you all.

So, I'll be arriving DE in a few days time by God's grace, but I'm coming on a short stay internship program. I already applied to schools and I'm awaiting AL, and I'm wondering if an AL drops while I'm in DE already, will I have to leave and then reapply for student Visa? Or can I just kind of change or elongate my status? Also will I need the blocked account for 1 year, I have one for the duration of my stay already. A lot of questions are in my head, please help.
Thanks again.

So admission letter shouldn't be stapled?

Obinnafrancis:
Thank you Aque. I only stapled my Motivation letters. Every other documents I held them with 'office pin holders' at the back of their originals. I hope u understand now.

Transcript of my interview yesterday 28th June, 2019.

I got to the Embassy by 6.20am for my 7am slot and immediately had my appointment print out stamped. Then I joined a queue. When they were ready to attend to us, they decided to start with short stay candidates first.

After about 1hr 30 mins of waiting, they started attending to Student Visa people. So we left the queue outside and joined the queue on the wooden platform with seats.

Then Paulinus came and started asking us to arrange our documents in a certain order. I don’t recall the exact order but these were the documents he asked for.

2 Application for Visa forms placed face down
2 signed declaration forms on top of them
2 photocopies of your passport data page next.
2 photocopies of your FSLC next with your original placed separately (I didn’t have this and I asked here a few days ago. When I told him that I didn’t have it, he asked me to move on to the next document)
2 photocopies of an old document eg old library card, baptismal certificate etc (at least over 5years old) to verify your age next with the original placed on the FSLC
WAEC or NECO photocopies then their originals on their respective piles
University degree next,
NYSC,
Admission letter (one translation before the other)
Hand written letter of Motivation next,
Curriculum Vitae,
Blocked Account document next
Then any other supporting document you have. One original and 2 photocopies each.

He then pinned the 3 piles of documents together, sighted our visa fees, gave us a gate pass and sent us in.

When I got to the VO, she didn’t ask me a lot of questions.

What did you study as an undergraduate?
Why are you going for this course?
What was your undergraduate project topic?
Why do you want to study in Germany?
What do you know about the Politics in Germany?
Have you applied for a visa before either to Germany or any other country?
Have you blocked funds in your blocked account?
What do you plan to do after your studies?

I wish everyone good luck with their AL, BA, SL and AM. We’ll all meet in Deutschland.

Good evening House.
Want to ask on the hand written motivation letter for visa interview..

Are we to sign after writing yours faithfully before putting our name.. Or just name alone is fine
Since is a formal letter.

NB it is hand written,,

If you are in Lagos go to ikeja, under bridge computer village and ask you will get waec scratch card.

danielnwatu:
I went to waec office to buy waec scratch card for my appointment only to get a result checker voucher pin typed on a paper. Hope this will be accepted in the embassy. Secondly I was told I can get prepaid courier envelope at the embassy. How true is this?

Thanks man.

Marine Geosciences sorry.

chiboy429:
wow congratulations bro. the sky is just your starting point. AM awaits you. does Bremen offer experimental geosciences or Bayreuth?

Bremen just showed me some love with AL. Marine Geosciences

Thank you Jesus.

https://www.axamansard.com/myaxa/insurance/travel/student/ was it this site you used.. pls details

Desmoothvee:
Axa Mansard travel insurance

how can one go about doing this.. tnx for the replies

Desmoothvee:
Axa Mansard travel insurance

it means APS CERTIFICATE.

using google definition it states that

An APS certificate is a condition for obtaining a student visa at the Belgian Embassy or Consulates General in PR China. The APS screening is not an academic selection procedure, but is meant to avoid document fraud and to guarantee a sufficient language knowledge.

hope this helps

Toluwase100:
