Happy independence

That answer is wrong and will give the VO the impression you didn't bother to do any research! You should talk about the perks of Germany especially getting free quality education.

That's why it's important to go through past threads, the amount of information you'll gather from there would be beneficial.

saxony2018:
Okay. The address on my admission letter is Lagos.

Tbh, It would be hard to convince them that you reside in Abuja then. You might try explaining your situation in the mail and that you won't mind doing the interview in Abuja.

But nothing is sure, cos Germans are very strict and hate to bend their rules

ubsilas:
Alright. Thank you. I have gotten my Visa appointment already for July. I'm going to the consulate just for certification of the documents I submitted earlier via email. They need hard 'authenticated' copies. I was confused whether there is any application form I am supposed to go there with or the admission letter from the school is enough.

The application form they are asking for, is the application form for those that are just applying to a German university and need to certify docs to send.

Since you have already gotten admission but need to still send certified documents, you can use your admission letter.

saxony2018:
Thanks bro. The organization disburses directly to the school’s account, I really want to be clear on how to handle this. I was thinking there would be at least somebody here that has funded his/her German studies with a student loan.

I received my official admission letter today but really want this to be addressed before I book a visa appointment.

I think Doplaz responded to this extensively, the likeliest way for student loan to be accepted is if it's blocked or it's seen as a scholarship or so.

It seems your school pay fees yeah? If that's the case, if the student loan covers only tuition, I doubt that will count as sponsorship.

saxony2018:
Alright...I actually work and live in Lagos but I won’t mind flying to Abuja for the appointment. How about those that stay in places like port harcourt do they get to select their preferred embassy for visa appointment

The thing is, Abuja is for only those that reside in Abuja. Even people that stay close to Abuja e.g Plateau state were given Lagos. Did your admission letter contain your Lagos address?

SooCute:
My dear you haven't asked for my source oooo.
I only want to confirm if anyone here have experienced that.

Nigerians also work there at the embassy.

Hmmm.... What would cause them to start giving exams? Hope some bad eggs haven't gone to put obstacles for those coming behind

peemyke:
I was about to quote him, until I saw your write-up. It's not about enrollment date. I would even advice people here to use whatever admission letter they have to apply for an interview date. Because August is getting full in Lagos.

Exactly! 50% of people applying to Germany are not on Nairaland. There are lots of people applying and interview slots are getting filled, last winter semester was full of horror stories

SooCute:
Please has any engineering student been interviewed?

Recent development reveals that engineering students must take exam during interviews.
Who has been "there"?

The way you typed must, Chill let's confirm this development.

The people going for interview soon would help us clarify the issue

dailydolar:
appointment dates are given according to enrollment date two people apply for appointment last week one was given august the other June so that's to yell you its according to enrollment

That hasn't been confirmed yet. She was given early date cos she stays in Abuja.

peemyke:
I just got a date for my interview. I really thank God. I'm so happy. 8th June.

peemyke:
September, my interview is in Abuja Embassy, I have a Master programme admission plus I'm residing in Abuja. Master students residing in Abuja don't really have a problem. I have a friend that did her interview 5 days after applying.

My enrollment deadline is same as hers, September. Yet I was scheduled for July. The luck that the person travelling in August would have is that some people are cancelling their dates because public unis haven't given them admission yet.

Rosicky7:
I booked on Friday evening, and was hoping to hear from them latest this morning, but I haven't. At what point do I have to be worried and probably resend the mail?

Send again tomorrow, the early morning trick works very well cos your mail will be among the recent inbox when they resume, most of us sent btw 6-8.am and got reply before 11.am.

You can put "APPLICATION FOR VISA APPOINTMENT" as your subject. Then also make sure you attach the 3 attachment requested, the finitba document is the 2 page Make the transfer file

saxony2018:
Greetings to everyone that is working towards making this thread value adding.
I just got admitted to study MBA at HHL Leipzig Graduate School of Management. Program starts on August 2018. I require few clarifications.

1. How early can I schedule my visa appointment and can I use the admission notification email from the school to apply?. Please note that I am expecting the official admission letter including the whole admission package.

2. I will be funding my study with a student loan (A UK company in partnership with the school) and would like to know how to address this during the visa application process. I mean the organization disburses all my money directly to the school.

3. What is the earliest appointment date that I can get?

Danke.

No 1 has been answered satisfactorily by Kenthumpz and Victree,

For No.2, PM one of the gurus to get a quick response, but I think the loan suffices as sponsorship, in the case that it also covers for monthly stipends.

For No 3, I don't believe appointment dates are given out according to enrollment dates for Lagos, going by all the people who have gotten dates. Even going by last year, Lagos always seemed like first come, first serve. I think the hack for this would be using Abuja but I don't know how easy that would be. I'll leave others to shed more light on this

Anchillary101:
Around how much can make one comfortable as a student without extravagant spending, am husling Now to apply for bsc .
I have already applied for Schiller Language School Bonn. For the German language course.
Make una help me

TBH! If you're looking for comfort and all, take as much money that you can afford The minimum is 8829, So anything north of that

Hokage94:
Oga that is not true. It's a very wrong assumption. Moreover, when you put it like this, you give the "Nigerians" more reason to "hoard important info". So stop driving that edge and be more positive-minded like your conclusions. Dmainman is a Nigerian who shares info with everyone to the best of his ability. There are still many more like that, just because you haven't met them doesn't mean they don't exist. Moreover, what you might consider valuable information may even be irrelevant to the selection process.
So if you have a specific question to ask, go ahead an ask. I'm positive someone in the right position to answer will do. Don't expect scholars to come and share everything they have with you.
I am just trying to make common sense.

So because someone said people should share info more, that would warrant people to hoard info?

On the issue, there are people that come to Nairaland to get info and then disappear, meanwhile there are others that are active participants. I believe the active participants unfortunately don't have any info, hence they can't share anything. We all know what the other group would do if they had any valuable info that would benefit others.

goldsmiths:
Abeg what's all this fuss about eke and Kendrick.,we all know there's no possible way what eke said could be 100% true,the fact that he agreed to post all these myths automatically means he has opened himself to critics,if someone who knows otherwise or has heard otherwise decides to challenge his statement why we go come dey attack am.baba Eke I dey like all these your myths but if u know sey u no fit take any talkbacks or any opinion wey different from your own I'll advice you to stop,you yourself know sey wetin u post nor fit dey entirely accurate, and baba Kendrick try mk ur post less offensive if u know sey u know otherwise tell us the one way u know atleast mk we get small hope.thank you all

Nah, he has been making derogatory remarks! Trust me he doesn't know zilch, Eke didn't say it's impossible but said it's difficult unlike the myth of how easy it is for black guys to score white girls. Only for this first timer to come and start making derogatory remarks.

Tbh, I don't blame him after seeing the threads he has been contributing on. This is a civil thread not one where one comes to display immaturity and lack of decorum

Kenthumphz:
My school charges 35k to send it to your obodo oyibo school. Uniport, in case y'all wanna know

They're shipping it now, some school's claim they use DHL. But 50k for transcript is madness

shasha25:
what xup with siegen,Jena, Bremen, gottingen, Ludwig, Bonn, Potsdam and Goethe.
I seriously need one master admission before my interview date in July.

You have more than a month cushion and you're still wailing

noughtai:
.
I would have preferred it earlier, like upper week.

Upper week of which month?

Cay24:
Hallo, I also got mine too. Today, congratulation

Siegen too?

upkay:

peemyke:
I just got a date for my interview. I really thank God. I'm so happy. 8th June.

Quite Early

Nice one tho

okpala95:
Which top 100.. Isaalie jaaree

#141# Dem try sha

Lalaski001:
Thanks for this info.

Yea, it is a must to have a letter from your school stating the breakdown of your living expenses for the banks to process form A for you .

I think the form A and the black market rates are ok. I was using 440 to do my calculations before.

Thanks for the info, do you know the process for dorm acct?

manuel04:
July 31st

ejikeme27:
Mine is 3rd August

Tbh, this is scary And most of my guys are awaiting admission status by mid-June

henriq2:
If you got visa appointment this week please indicate your date. Also if anyone have been booked for August, also indicate. Don't only take information, give information.

By that way this thread will be our Wikipedia.

Especially those in the WHATSAPP group, come out here and post any relevant information you have. If they took this forum to Whatsapp in the past, part 3 & part 4 of this thread wouldn't have existed

jelmusboy:
It is like it is always sure that student visa will be granted with the way I see people discussing here. Na so Germany lenient?

That's the reason for this thread. To help visa applicants fulfill all requirements needed for a German Visa. No country is likely to deny applicants visa if they fulfill all requirements

iLUMeN8:
I have a question Sir....

I applied for the uk scholarship and I believe I met all the requirements to be selected and I am sure my SOP is okay but unfortunately, I was not selected...

I was told that my ssce was the problem as I did not have enough distinctions...is this true?could there be another reason or is it just that I am unlucky...

You response will be appreciated....thanks

Walahi! I can bet it's random selection, people with 2 distinctions got selected, even people with 2:2.

Impactever:
there is absolutely no need for creating any whatsapp group .......i think any vital info should be share here so that everyone including those that will be applying in the subsequent years to benefit from ....this tread was really helpful to most of us who applied this year......Thanks

Leave them, they come on Nairaland threads, gain valuable info then try to derail the thread by taking it to whatsapp. You benefited from the archives of past threads yet don't want others to benefit from present threads? Karma will sure catch up with them

noughtai:
Wait o ppl... Do we need to send email for appointment? I booked an appointment on their site and they sent me an email.

Please can someone help with the full process of obtaining a student visa.

I have my admission letter, passport, authenticated birth certificate attestation, transcripts, degree and waec.

Thanks.

You've probably booked the wrong appointment e.g Certification of Documents.

That's the link below with the instructions. Please be meticulous in your application, ask for clarification when not clear. Mistakes can be costly

Sakasitay:
Hi guys.

I'm happy to join this group. Hopefully, I am successful this winter semester. I was hoping to apply to University of Cologne , but my transcript wasn't ready on time. It took my school 2 months to process the student copy. Now I'm left with roughly three weeks, until the deadline. Do you think that Uniassist will be able to send my application before 15th June, that is, judging from your past experiences?

You can still make it if you are fast about it. Hope you've paid your processing fee?
