@Emman2903, have always made this point, But I don't know why people ignore it.. If you are in category B, no date for you.. Anybody feeling disappointed in category b for not getting date should blame no one. I actually started this protest thing even before Emman2903 joined. Category b is not getting date. Admit it and work towards it, Don't wait till Oct before you start blaming the embassy. I have always said it and some too. Protest protest protest protest � 1 Like 1 Share |

Immafrank:There is no need forcing the person to give you answers , When you already know they are being shady with it. These are the people going through the backdoor , Their answers are never straight forward. Because its a foreign embassy, most of you think they are incorruptible. The next thing now, he/she will start lying that they have first class,. For those in category B , hoping that date will fall from heaven , by October don't blame anybody oo. Since you guys rejected the protest earlier ,its well. God will provide date for all of you. The ones that are pasting fake testimony of student visa for category B,. Your own turn will soon come .. |

OdogwuEkeke:No need for all these false hope, I had letter of presence too, which I mailed embassy severally, even my HOD , tagged me and mailed thesame letter to several emails of the embassy , Misleading people with these fake stories is not fair, The earlier we accept the truth and work towards it , the better for us . Any category B that got visa , obviously didn't go through the right channel . That is why most of them do not give testimony, so that people won't start asking them suspicious questions. Any body that register for category B, as at now, Is almost not very smart or intelligent. You have yourself to blame if you get rejection letter by October. You were asked to comment and make post on the Internet as graduates to air your issues to the embassy, hopefully things get better. Everybody relaxed with hope you get appointment by October. Its well. 1 Like |

Acting ignorant till when they get rejection letter by October . they will come and start blaming Nigerian government. The rejection already started in 2019 that is even before corona virus came. Please let's all unite and question this ill treatment, The embassy should stop registering category B , students na.. Even if you travelling to other countries , � please . let's question them. And if you are traveling, also drop your format , let's assist each other at every opportunity. Brothers and sisters , 3 Likes |

The embassy never stated that a student or an applicant can be denied an appointment. And they made sure it was never stated in any part of the website. And yet they inform someone who applied since October 2020 , in march 31st that appointment has been cancelled, for no reason, they was no evidence of regret or remorse in that letter, because we are used to being treated like shit. The website clearly stated that category B, who changed their mind due to the long wait period and failed to honour their interview, will be deleted . Secondly, they clearly stated that only applications with fully funded blocked account, would be acknowledged. It never said you fund your account when you get a date. Its assumed every student who applied funded their BA. This is a case of incompetence to deliver their duties , And negligence to the students. Winter is coming, the earlier these issues are addressed the better , they a lot of countries for masters students, The earlier they tell us our fate the better. So it won't be 31st of September we get another rejection letter , and that will be the fourth from last year. Let's join our voice , till they hear us. 2 Likes |

authe911:the earlier we start speaking up the better for us. I urge everyone, this is not a period of doing per head. If students started speaking from last session , it won't have gotten to this extent. For those using covid as excuse for the embassy, Does it mean category A are immuned to the corona virus. Let the respective bodies hear us, . wether you are going to Togo or Ghana for your interview, at least for the sake of your younger ones and people coming after . For newly admitted students dont feel ignorant, you will only get to know when October reaches . and your parents and friends will be looking at you like someone with fake admission. The embassy never used corona as excuse , so dont give it to them, 2years from now it is going to be a norm , that people don't get to be interviewed after booking appointment for. Months ,. We better unite at this month and fight this ill. Don't always call the Nigerian govt . Abike dabiri as at last week Wednesday was defending her office in her statement she claimed she has engaged with the lady who was denied entry into senegal , that was after she was insulted on twitter , if the lady had been quiet and blaming the govt nothing would have happened. Come on social media lets address these people , The hash tag has been twitter #germanstudentvisa2021 , address them properly without insult and things will definitely change .. Thanks . 3 Likes |

Punkydude:If the embassy was a Nigerian embassy they would have started insulting them by now , But it's Europe , so it can never be their fault , we are always the problem. We are 24 in our class , more than 15 are Indians and they are in Germany the only guy I know that hasn't received visa is from Bangladesh and he told their situation is like ours . Its going to take a lot to convince Nigerians that we are not always the problem. If corona was the issue , it only takes a call for the embassy to tell the student as early as January that he or she might nt get a visa , Here, its per head , even when you say let's unite and question them why they refused to interview students, some think it might not work . We Nigerians are now the ones giving them excuse why they refused us visa , Even the embassy never said it was due to corona , But Nigerians have used corona as an excuse for them ��♂️��♂️��♂️. A guy even came to the blog and was blaming Nigerian embassy in Germany, Saying that the Nigerian embassy should have informed the German embassy ���� It's a disorder , a situation where you have to blame yourself even for problems you didn't cause. Though summer last year could have been affected by corona , that was the initial stage when people didn't really know what it was , But as at winter October , my neighbour he travelled to UK for school, I personally drove him to airport, not like someone told me. And now summer 2021, the embassy knew fully well and never used corona as excuse , but we are giving them excuse. Our attitude will never help us, everything is per head , if students from lastyr did this for us, question the embassy , we won't have been like this. A lot travelled to Dubai , at least I know a lot of them that did their interview in Dubai this summer, Soon their younger will still come . 10 Likes |

I feel a little accomplished this morning, I forwarded an edited part of this mail to some bloggers and most importantly on twitter with hashtag #germanstudentvisa2021 . i sent mail also to the embassy email and foreign affairs email listed here. thats the much i can do. please lets join hands and let our voice be heard, we are not the problem, the embassy was simply incompetent to handle the visa processing , lets stop admitting problems we didn't cause, write to whomever you feel can help, retweet with the hashtag , inform your blogger friends. so this scenario wont become a norm, every student is entitled to an interview , may be not visa. an embassy that can not provide necessary workforce to handle student visa interview is simply incompetent . let our voices be heard.

Travel / Re: General-german-student-visa-enquiries Part 8 by Nzealibaba: 12:34am On Apr 02, 2021 |
please people that booked yesterday ,are you still booking against summer or towards october for winter. i mailed my school informing them about the visa cancellation , they told me anytime i get visa i should come if i don't meet up summer i can join winter. they asked me to choose one so they know which fees i would pay, As it stands i don't even know if I would get appointment in winter. I am just confused. No matter the case, Please read this: the actions of the embassy has been extremely unprofessional, and has lasted now for 3 consecutive academic sessions and we are gradually getting used to it. e.g some have already rebooked appointment without asking if things would be different. So picture this scenario: A student maps out his time usually months(30 days +) applying to different schools up-to 3, 4, or more, writing and editing several applications, motivation letters, answering questions like reason why they choose their course and the school, sending mails with courier at almost 30,000naira(DHL which i use often) per mail, pay uniassist 75euro(25,000 depending on fluctuating exchange rate) per application. pay school for application and at times enrollment fees(e.g TUM ). and finally excel above other international competing students and gain admission. we make it look easy, but it is not, some of us are self sponsoring with excellent determination and the embassy would not give a tangible reason why they don't want to meet with this student for an interview after this hurdle. Last year summer and winter was exactly the same , you can read the post on Nairaland and confirm, people are still registering again without questioning the outcome. Nigerian students we no longer have to blame the bad government as it has never been a viable solution. Can we try something different. Can we extend our voices by reaching out to government offices( Dont say they won't do anything yet , lets do our part first) in a not so stressful manner(through e-mail) , while being polite (make it a plea) and keeping it loud(By lending our voices individually, you and I, not for the outspoken ones) , let our voices be heard. Enough of complaining about bad government or bad students abroad. and start acting positively. I have a clue: 1. We need to let the embassy know that we need a bit of transparency, let them give us informations we can work with, not blindly applying without a yes or No wether we would be getting an appointment. example : "summer applications are limited try winter,", "If you do not have a scholarship letter or a first class do not apply", "if you do not meet a particular criteria do not apply", "Due to corona we are taking this fixed number of Nigerians, and if the figures exceed they should inform the students on time so we try other countries". Schools in Germany apply this method and it works, it helps scale them number of applicant, making the screening process less stressful. honestly , I don't know any tangible reason why i was not granted appointment for summer, at this point I am going to repeat the exact steps I took again which obviously didn't work. 2. If they receive huge number of applications, then will we would like to know if it would be possible to opt for third party institutions , Indians do it, they use VFS global and it has made them travel around Europe with ease, if their is any set of Nigerians who should be denied migration as a result too much immigration , it should not be students . Education in Africa should be given priority. 3. April and October being an already established date for school resumption, the embassy if being handled by a competent and innovative head, should opt for temporary expansion of workforce during these peak periods. The embassy should anticipate before hand the huge influx of students and make adjustment towards expanding their workforce .students already pay visa fee up to 30,000naira hopefully it should cater for the extra aid they would need. 4. I believe if a student having spent his time and limited funds going through the long application process, and the school accepts, after placing him/her higher than other international competing students , the embassy should hear him/her out (Interview). and decide if he/she meets the criteria for studying in Germany. Now, their is a big difference between denying visa and not being invited for interview. One being denial of student visa after interview is an indication that the student do not meet the required criteria for traveling which is generally acceptable while the later, that is not being invited for an appointment is a case of the embassy not capable of handling student interview and should take quick actions towards it, to help these excellent students achieve their long planned goals. Please if we can in unanimously , work towards moving this motion as a plea to the right offices, hopefully something would be done to that effect. just have in mind that after summer last year were denied visa appointment , winter was also denied . so lets do something to this effect so things wont go wrong again this year. drop emails of embassy and government office who might help to this effect. thanks. 8 Likes |

Tomorrow is April, at least category B who didn't get visa by now would have learnt that, its not by applying early. Let's not go and flood appointment booking, give it a day or two or even a week.

It can work, but it means you will put different passport number also not just email. Because am almost you can apply with same passport number twice. And in case where the application with the wrong passport number goes through. Then you have to sort yourself out at the embassy.. Its so much risk with little benefit. Its up to you to try, nobody exactly knows. MartOkoh1: |

Try it first, its the best bet . Though some said they are restrictions onthe amount you can transfer with it...some business men , have cards that can send 10k euro if you know people like that. Or some one who is in Germany that can pay for you. Then you send the person in naira and then he or she waits till whenever he receives his money... Others tried blocking account using sterling bank , since it is fastest .. any method you are using try and confirm your money will reflect before your interview date.... Please what cat did you register , and when is your school resumption date you gave embassy , and when is this your interview .. richy16: 1 Like |
