smurfymorello:
Most of the time rejection letters are sent by the embassy after one week...so it is considered that once a week has passed and embassy has not sent any rejection letter, then it's most likely you'll get an A.m

U're on point to a great extent, though not completely!

ayomeah:
Bros, this your explanation is not clear ooo. Shed more light on the issue please

Lol.

Dis is a public platform, some info are not suppose to be posted here on a public forum, especially for d sake of misappropriation, misinformation and misuse of information.

Hope you get my points?

michlan:
Please, which one is the visa rejection stage?

The usual duration or time frame after your interview, to get ur original documents returned to you if ur visa application is not successful (rejected).

Immafrank:
Bro you and this your brother ehn!!! same school, same course, same interview date

Lol

Yet, we are not twins.

armpit:
Please house, is there anyone going to the university of Paderborn for the summer and has been issued visa? I need to ask some questions. I am also going for the same school, done my interview and today marks start of my 5th week and I haven't heard from the embassy

Bros just relax. Cases and situations differ.
Ur A.M will surely come. It's clearly stated on the webpage of d embassy dat visa processing takes 4-6wks (sometimes even more or slightly longer than that, and sometimes much or slightly shorter than that).

I and my brother did interview same day, same time (just about 20seconds difference, because almost immediately after he entered CT 1, I entered CT 3).
We are going to d same school and same course, we did certification, application, funding, etc same time. We even got admission d same day/ time, we deferred simultaneously and got our deferral approval same day/time.

Yet, my A.M came within 3wks, his came after 6wks and 2 days.

I sent my int'l passport for visa stamping and within 2 days after getting to d embassy, it was stamped and sent back to me. He sent his, but his own stayed with d embassy for about 8-9days before it was stamped and sent to him.

So bros, just relax and be jubilating/rejoicing, knowing full well that u've crossed/passed the visa rejection stage.

Congrats in Advance!

KendrickAyomide:
sponsorship from a German citizen abi?

Must not necessarily be a citizen. But the person must be residing in Germany (someone with a residence permit) and must be earning a certain amount as mthly salary.

KendrickAyomide:
guy's any Alternative to the Blocked account?

Yes!
Scholarship and sponsorship

oladejitaiwo:
In the visa application form. What do think should be the answer for question 7.?

Is it YES OR NO?

YES!

If so, where? "NIGERIA".
Except u also have permanent residence in any other country (dual citizenship), then you can decide on which to use.

Fellow nairalanders,

@Metabolite, Honourableseyi, Williamson, Jigba etc

Kindly help with a suggestion. I am a graduate of Accounting (2.1) as well as a working professional. I am interested in going for a master's degree in Germany. However, most schools offering Masters in Accounting and Finance require proficiency in German language which I do not have. I applied to english taught masters in economics but got rejected presumably due to my weak background in economics.

I have also checked closely related programmes like MBA and they require tuition fees.

Kindly help me out (ssuggestions/advise) on how to go about it. My major interest is the Accounting and Finance Masters.

I will appreciate everybody's responses.

Thank you.

Well, to me its just 2 ways around dis.

First, get the German language stuff done and apply for your desired course.

Second, since u're very busy to learn the German language for now, just keep applying to related courses that are fully taught in English. If u've a good CGPA and maybe some years of working experience, u would be given admission for sure from one or more schools.

Whichever the case, its Germany all the way!

Good luck in your Germany pursuit!

Hello Leute,
Please how soon will the embassy return my passport after asking for my travel date?
Thanks

Depend on your location, the courier service you used and how fast the embassy respond/attend to it.

Usually (most often) it will get back to you within 5-8days of posting

jcgodfrey:
Thanks! I didn't even think of that though. Okay, i'll have until Monday to decide. If I were to go through with the interview, for instance, and if a rejection were to eventually suffice, assuming, any idea how long would that take for them to make that judgment? I'm to resume April 17th.

Thanks for your reply once again.

Well, it varies depending on various factors like ur enrolment deadline.
So after about 3-4 weeks, u'll be given a deadline to fund, if u fail to meet up with dat, then a rejection letter due to inability to fund will follow.
So in conclusion, within 3-6wks for dem to make dat judgment

joshuaarmani2:
Hello bro, sorry about how things turn out for you at this time. I know you must be going thru loads of stuff. My tots and prayers are with you.

On your appointment with the embassy, please don't cancel it. You'll be banned for 6months as it's more than 1 week notice you're supposed to give.

I recommend you appear at the the embassy with some missing important documents like admission letter or sth and allow Paulinus to put a call thru to the VO's inside. You'll be asked to go and reapply and when you have ur complete documents.

That way, you buy time for yourself against winter or summer next year. It happened to someone recently.

Don't give up... Don't give in.. don't quit.

Regards.

Well, nice suggestion all the same.
But in doing so, u need consider some things.

I saw someone suggesting dat he go for his interview and later write dat he can't meet up.

Well, why going through all d stress and money wasting if money is even d major reason here.

First, no one knows his location. Weda he stays far from Lagos state.

So for d suggestion of going with incomplete documents, he would have to travel to and from Lagos to get dat done of he is not in Lagos (dis involves, risk, money and time). Also he would have to maybe lodge in an hotel and also transport to d embassy.

For d suggestion dat says he shd get d interview done and write for withdrawal after 2wks, well, in addition to all I've said in d first suggestion, he would also have to pay d visa fee and also send d signed withdrawal confirmation to d embassy through postal mail/courier (dats fuda waste of money).

My suggestion, if u kw u won't be able to raise d funds for BA until Winter 2018 or summer 2019, just cancel ur appointment ryt away and save urself d stress and expenses.

Reasons:
If u get 6mths Ban, it will be lifted by August which still fall into winter 2018 not to talk of summer 2019.

Also, for d sake of ur fellow brothers/sisters dat are fully ready now (both academically, financially, materially, socially, physically and even spiritually, Lol), yet unable to get an appointment date, ur proposed date can help a fellow prospective germanite gets his/her dreams fulfilled. So just cancel and let someone else utilize dat date instead of u wasting it indirectly/intentionally.

Once again, God will person a financial breakthrough and miracle in your life soon. Amen!

Utominawele:
HELLO GUYS
PLEASE HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TRANSFERS TO REFLECT IN MY FINTIBA BLOCKED ACCOUNT?

THANKS

Depend on 3 major factors:
1). The location
2). Mode/means of transfer
3). Bank used

isaacosas01:
So I'm finishing my NYSC in April and want to start looking at applying for Msc into Germany now! I have read a little here, you guys are amazing.

My question is shebi i can apply without uni-assit because I nor get their money oo, also I know a friend once apply directly to a school in Germany and was given admission.

Secondly abeg how I fit convert my Nigerian GPA to German scale.

And as i still be Jew, any particular resource I need to look at apart from reading through this thread would be a blessing, I need to join the hustle abeg.

I also see people talking about scholarships, but I thought that public schools in Germany are already free, abeg help me understand.

Lemme answer the last question as I saw on other post dat ur oda questions has been answered except d German grading and d last question.

Tuition free doesn't mean you will be given free food, free accommodation, free welfare, etc. Lol

So you have to show financial capability to tackle all these basic and personal welfare needs. Moreova, u still need to pay what they call "semester fee or semester contribution". Anyway, that isn't too much depending on the school, and it usually comes with some additional benefits. So having mentioned all these, you now see where scholarship comes in.

Lemme elaborate more: Scholarship either take care of part or all of these extra/personal expenses (in some cases, including tuition fees, depending on d type of scholarship and d school involved if its not a tuition-free school).
If not so, you have to get someone residing in Germany to sponsor you or you get your blocked account funded with a minimum of €8640 aside account opening charges.

To some little extent, hope I've been able to clear your doubt regarding this?

Good luck in ur aspired/future Germany school pursuit!

jcgodfrey:
Hi guys. Wanna appreciate this thread for all the good info sharing over the past months I've been applying. Got admitted to University of Southern Westphalia (Soest) for this summer; would be going to Lag next week for my visa interview, haven't funded, and as things turned out to be, probably won't.
Ran into some life issues and I may have to postpone the whole thing to winter or next year, I don't know.
But anyways, I booked the interview already on Feb. 28th, so I wanna ask, even though I know I may not go through with the whole funding process cus long story short, I don't have the means as I thought I would, is it still advisable to turn up for the visa interview?
Thanks guys.

Will advise you cancel the appointment instead of getting a rejection because of inability to fund, since u already know you can't fund now.
Except maybe u believe God dat a miracle will happen soon regarding the funding stuffs.
Miracles still happen!

Litolysis:
Happy Weekend to you all.
Had my interview on 22/02/2018.

Some of the questions are:
What do you want to study?
Why the course?
Can you speak German?
Why Germany?
Why not USA, UK or Canada?
What was your undergraduate project all about?
What do you know about Germany?
What's your plan after your studies?
Where do you wish to work after your course?

These are the ones I can remember now. Guten Morgen onces again!

Nice!
Well done bro.

A.M fall on you soon

kelvin91:
Thank you bro.
Remain bless

Amen!
You too.

michlan:
Pls house, i want to know if the embassy will start processing the visa application before payment into the blocked account is made because it will be up to middle of march before i can make the full payment?

YES!

That's why sometimes you see pple saying immediately they sent their blocked account confirmation, they got their A.M within few hours after.

kelvin91:
Gurus in the house... I want to know how many weeks does it take the embassy to process student visa ...i would be having my interview on the 16th of March and the school late enrollment date is till 19th of April...after it no enrollment..

So please I want to know how long does it take ...and to know if I can also beat up the supposed enrollment deadline.

Any idea would be appreciated.....thanks in advance

4-6wks.
But it can be shorter dan that, it can also be slightly longer than dat.
Mine for example took less than 3wks despite d festive season holidays and my enrolment deadline was still like 3mths ahead.

My Advice: Dnt let dat bother you, just go for your interview and give out ur best. I'm certain ur A.M would come within 4wks so u can meet up with your enrolment.
I'll also advice u get ur proof of finance ready within d shortest possible period after the interview, if its not gonna be ready before your interview.

Good luck bro!

Neyoalao:
To God be the glory. I received my AM safe and sound. My appreciation goes to everyone on this wonderful platform.

Congrats!
It's a season of A.M

Immafrank:
i am not 100 percent sure bro. but i heard of someone that used his german health insurance to get his visa.

A lot of persons are using it, as long as it covers d duration d embassy indicated in d A.M.

I used it, my brother used it and couple of persons on dis platform

Alexomania:
Please has anyone got their AM recently/ this week??, I'm kinda worried because I submitted my insurance and passport last week and since then no reply from the embassy, Is anything wrong in any way?.
Please I'm waiting for answers.

Thanks in advance.

Relax Bro!

My elder brother documents (insurance, int'l passport and document indicating his travel date) got to d embassy last Tuesday.
He couldn't track his prepaid courier envelope needed to return his visa and original documents since dat last week Tuesday.

It was just almost 6pm today he was able to track it and its to get to our location in Warri by Thursday. Although we had to email d embassy dis morning to know why the delay, so I wouldn't know if dat was why they had to release his dis evening.

All I'll tell you is to relax and be patient, as far as u've gotten ur A.M, then u must get ur visum delivered to you.

Congrats!

ajeleseujn:
Kudos to the gurus in the house for a good job done so far. I started following this thread few days ago and it has been helpful.
My question goes to this funding of a thing, I noticed guys mentioning 8,892€ and higher against the 8,000€ I have known before I begin this journey. My question is, has Deutscheland changed the 8,000€ policy to the new policy of 8,892€?
A friend of mine made her journey to Germany yesterday night, and she was asked a sum of 4,000€ to fund her block.
I really need the gurus to please shed more light on this cos I am only stock with 8,000€ at the moment - owo oniru owo alata
Thanks.

Your frd shd be in d best position to tell u more about hers. Maybe she is going for a short course dat would last for some few months or she has partial scholarship.
Just get more details from her, then u would know why it went dat way on her own side.
As of now, d €8,829 still stand with fintiba.

Vickglam:
I have my original certificate, will that be okay or the transcript is compulsory?

Transcript is necessary but not compulsory. If all u've got is d original certificate without a transcript, then it isn't much of a problem. Just go with wot u've.

Good luck!

Neyoalao:
My advice for you is to go with it to the embassy but keep it from Paulinus,because it isn't compulsory and when he sees that you have the photocopy and not original he might send you away. But if you say that you don't have, you won't have ish. Good luck

Nice!
Well Said!

Fustinachichi:
I have been reading reading and reading....also researching and researching......now I will start the process...and as I move along, I will write down everything I do one by one

1. Am calling everyone I know, so they I can gather £9000 to get ready for block account

2. Now, I want to start looking for schools (am soooooo excited)

You will succeed at the long run. You are about taking the right step and also a move that is worth every stress.

Get ready for a successful trip to Germany!
Admission, A.M and visa await you!

kelvin91:
I never knew someone can do the enrollment for u....I touted u have to be there in person.

Donkafor said "Some schools". So not that its a regular or acceptable thing in all Germany schools

Ezyp:
Baba thank you o. I have sent you mail request.

I've seen it and replied

Hayor4real:
I also have an health insurance for Germany can I use that in place of travel insurance

Y not if not?
As far as its a German health insurance, then embassy will accept it in place of travel insurance.
Just ensure its still valid for d duration specified by the embassy

ayomeah:
Like health insurance or travel? Cos i heard if you get a german student health insurance package , it overrides the travel insurance

Yes, dats exactly what I'm saying. Dats what I used in collecting my visa.

Instead of wasting money in getting travel insurance in Nigeria just to collect ur visa, at d long run u can't use d insurance in Germany, then ull end up getting a German student health insurance, why not apply for a student health insurance dat will get u ur visa and also cover you wen u're in Germany.

Interesting thing is dat u may not have the need of paying until u finally get to Germany.

Hayor4real:
I also have an health insurance for Germany can I use that in place of travel insurance

Yes you can, especially if its stil valid for d duration specified by the embassy
