How would they know I have another MSc, since I won't tell them, is there a way they can know?
Thanks

they won't know though. But you still have to come up with something you engaged in because you are going to submit your CV. And you do not want to leave a space of two years or more blank without doing anything.

sahm4u2nv:
Planning to relocate to Germany, I'm 29, a graduate with GCPA. 3.48/5 (Soil Science) just concluded my Msc program (Certificate and result) Agronomy. Planning to apply with my BSc. For another MSc. I have a relative in Germany,he said I should wait till he get back to Nigeria I don't want to wait till he comes back because I do t know when so I would like to start the application.
I also have a sponsor here in Nigeria who can find my block account.

How do I go about this.

Thanks for your input God bless you

Danke!

hello sir. I guess you are good to go just visit daad.de get a suitable course and follow the instructions. But I think you have to come up with a better reason for another MSC rather than saying your result isn't out yet. A reason that has to do with your career. bless up.

So I got to the embassy around 5.55am. I was number 5 on the queue but the first person wasn't a student applicant. Somehow sha I became number one. Was initially scared of Mr Paulinus ( I didn't even know he was a Nigerian I was thinking the man na white man o). But I didn't have issues with him. Just follow his instructions and you will be fine. He likes to be obeyed thoroughly. So I went in for my interview at 7.03am.
The VO was a bit late. The whole thing sha started around 7.25am.
VO: what are you applying for?

Vo: I dnt want too much stories just summarize it.
Vo: tell me what you know about Germany.
Me: bla bla

Me: started telling her some stuff sometimes she will tell me to hold on she wants to type. So when I got to weather, politics and football.
Vo: what political party does the president belong
Me: I didn't know it. Just said CDU. Which is wrong.
Vo: what political party does the chancellor belong to
Me: CDU. Which is correct.
VO: how many season does Germany have.

Fustinachichi:
Well, i took an uber taxi from my hotel in lekki phase 1 to the embassy(we even drove passed it) , its close to Netherland embassy and a security dog was chained at the entrance of the German embassy ..Anyways, I left the hotel by 5am got to embassy by 5:30am....then I greeted the men behind the glass with my most gorgeous smile ever (for my mind I thought Paulinus was one of them)....anyways sha, the security guys told me to stand on the pavement that I am first online, as I stood, 5 minutes later people started coming.....anyways sha, I started my kabashing!(speaking in tongues and praising God)....and then I saw him...OGA PAULINUS. ...I gave him my most sweetest smile and this guy DID NOT even give me the slightest nod...He just told all of us to come in, he arranged some chairs and told us to start arranging our documents as he shouts it out....If u see the way he was making some guys shake with his haughty attitude (no, if God mistakenly give this guy presidency, he will turn to King Herod)...The little power that man has is intoxicating him.... (later, I will pray for him)....

anyways sha, he eventually delayed me and made me the 4th on line, but it was the plan of God because his delay gave me the best VO ever...chai. ..

I entered and he told me to pick the phone, I did
VO: Hi
Me: Good morning sir
VO: Smiled
VO: Let's go
Me: Sir, please I want to show u these documents, I was mistakenly sent to Abuja, did the interview but few minutes to the end, it was cancelled and these are the documents, my prints and info were taken, I just thought to inform u first
VO: it's alright, thanks for telling me, however I don't think it's valid anymore, we will do a new one
Me: Okay
VO: So, what are u going to study and which school and where
Me: BSc in Health Informatics at Deggendorf Institute of Technology at the European Campus in Pfarrkirchen (lower Bavaria, Rottal Inn)
VO: Bachelors?
Me: yes
VO: Do u have a previous Bachelors?
Me: No,
VO: Oh, so why Germany and not uk
Me: high tuition fee
VO: Where are ur parents and siblings
Me: told him
VO: Okay, tell me what u know about Germany
Me: Beautiful country, surrounded by 9 countries, Denmark in the North, Austria and Switzerland in the south....(told him everything)
VO: what else
Me: I don't know again sir, let me think....yes, the office of the Chancellor is called the washing machine, also Germany has the biggest train station
VO: Ok. .(he smiles) and where is it located?
Me: ( oh Lord)...am sorry, I really don't know
VO: it's in Berlin
Me: okay, thank u, I will research more on that....but I also know German language has 35 dialects
VO: wow...so have u been learning the language and how?
Me: yes I have been learning through YouTube, duolingo
VO: introduce urself in German
Me: mein name ist Chichi, ich bin eine Frau, die Jesus liebt. Ich bin ein Christ
VO: hahaaaaaaaaa (his laughter really shocked me, I thought I was on point)...Please wait (he turns on the loudspeaker on his phone and tells another VO to listen)...Please dear, say that thing again
Me: (I repeat my german)
2nd VO:hahaaaaaaaaa. ..what! is she speaking spanish
Me: am sorry, I really thought I was on point!
VO: No u need to learn more! So why this school, why this course, tell me more about the school and course
Me: told him (thank God for our WhatsApp group)
VO: plans after ur bachelors?
Me: told him ( God bless my course mates on my WhatsApp group)
VO: so what else have u been doing towards ur travel
Me: (showed him a printout of the convo I had with someone who I have been discussing with about my accommodation and she was asking I pay)
VO: oh this is really nice, u can go ahead and pay for the accommodation ..do u have any other question for me?
Me: no
VO: alright we will communicate with u via email and since u stay in abuja, u can courier ur passport to us and we will send u, ur visa with ur passport, back to u, using ur prepaid envelope....ok bye
Me: bye, thank u
I came out smiling like one crazy woman and u won't believe that those 3guys where still in the interview room, I even heard one of the VO angrily asking one guy to state his date of birth again and again and this guy was guessing up and down, he couldn't say the exact date on his passport! !

On my way out those useless security was asking me "anything for the boys"..I asked them "what did the boys do for me, please I don't have nothing for any boys"...I hissed and walked away, went to Winners Supermarket and bought me some amazing Walnut crossiant jare! Mtcheeeewwww
Advice: just be honest and be real and commit it all into God's hands

Also most of these questions were repeated and repeated....I said the course and school like 3times

hello. pls are you the lady with a little girl? I taught you weren't for student visa.

Twallace:
From what I have been reading in Quora.com and other blogs, making friends in Germany can be hard especially in the beginning. But let's not get discouraged. Instead, let's get each others back.

On this note, if you are going to Saxony state which includes :

Leipzig
Dresden
Cottbus
Chemnitiz

Pm let's form a group and help each other settle well in Saxony. Other people going to East Germany:

Berlin
Postdam
Magdeburg
Halle

can join the group as well.

Note: All these cities are not more than one hour from each other by autobahn

hey bro. I don pm you.

Lalaski001:
With my heart finally at ease and full of joy, I wish to announce that my Almighty AM has dropped.

My journey started around this same time last year. I initially wanted to go to Norway and started following the thread, but I somehow stumbled on the German thread and I have been on it from that day. I don't go a day without opening the thread and I have read from part 2 to the last page on the current part.

I applied to about 3 schools for summer semester 2018. They all rejected me (with good reasons though) except for FAU that rejected me just because of cetification. I was heartbroken.

I only applied to those 3 schools for summer because I didn't want to go through UNIASSIST because of financial reasons.

TIMELINE:

Applied for Admission: 02-12-2017
Opened Fintiba: 20-12-2017
Received Admission: 13-02-2018
Interview: 28-05-2018
Sent blocked account confirmation: 15-06-2018
AM dropped: 25-06-2018.


I am not sure where I am going yet. I have admission for University of Freiberg. (Environmental Geoscience)

Still expecting from Leibniz universitat Hannover (Water Resourses and Environmental Management), University of Bayreuth( Environmental Geography) and Kiel (Marine Geoscience).

The one month wait for the AM was really a tough one. Even though I was very confident of my interview, I was still kinda worried.

Thank you all for all the assistance here. I use myself as a point of contact to all those still expecting, it will get to us all in Jesus name.

Onto the next phase.

God is faithful.

congrats

Bykz:
Same here. Am also heading to Dresden.

Going to Dresden also.

osas87:
At this moment I was still not settled, thinking about my passport, how she would react and feeling I ve disqualified myself by my own act of ignorance.

VO: why this course

Told her it was very much related to my undergraduate studies and that it provides a platform for advancement in the fields of AIDS and Cancer.

VO: Why german

I was lost at this moment cos I was really bothered.........
Could not concentrate
I jst had to tell her " Germany has the merits for developing important theories, treatments, technologies and structures that ve led to the Improvements in human lifes. I completely forgot about quality education that comes at a negligible cost. Evrytin for my head don subline.

VO: why not Nigeria?

Me: The course is not available in Nigeria. ( mind you, I never expected this question)

VO: Tell me facts about germany

I said about 8 and stopped, then she asked "is that all?"

I said yes ma, She smiled and was laffing started speaking german with other 2 ladies inside the next office. The other ladies started laffing too. For my mind, na me them dey laff so.. Na die I dey be this ooo

Then she gave me back my passport, printed and gave me visa app receipt, then said, we ll contact u through ur email.


Weeks past and I was expectant. compelled into fasting and praying, I could only wish for a positive outcome. I stopped sniping girls, inshort. Admiring a girl became a taboo for me.

I noticed ppl who had their interviews in May got their AM 3-4 days befor the corresponding date of June. So on 15th, I was so restless, put my data on and off, refreshing my gmail. Oboy!! Nothing show ooo.

Yesterday, I decided to contact the alien office in Bonn but got an email stating they dont ve my data in their database and I should contact the one in Rhein-sieg-kreis which I did.

Jst around 9:40am today, something crawled into my email aggressively asking for my passport, 6 months health insurance and travel date. It was the long awaited AM.

In the end, God be Praised!!!

First of all, I want to say a very big thank you to Baba God, He alone could ve done this for me.

My profound appreciation goes to : honourableseyi, dailydollar, shasha, kenthumphz, nevilbot, doppergangel10, many others whose name/monika might ve skipped me and everyone in this thread... Thankz
And to those still expecting their am, it will all end in Praises... Amen.

congratulations.

waledora:

dolpaz:


I´ll drag an old NL here who will share his Canadian experience and also make similarities between the two countries. we chatted at length but it´ll be nice to hear from the horses mouth..

So stay tuned !

God bless you boss.

johndoefoo:


Any advantage of getting Germany PR over Yankee PR, or Aussie PR? My plan is to port to yankee or Aussie after studying in Germany.

like if we could see someone who can give a detailed explanation about the possibility of crossing to Canada or Australia after your program in germany. As well as the success rate. Because the way people over there are hammering this language thing is like the major requirement for securing a proper job.

osifo4ever:
