MY TRANSCRIPT:

So I had my interview today July 1, 2019. Got to the embassy by 5:29am met one person but he was for Short term visa. So I was number one on the queue for Student visa. Paulinus then started calling....I attached all my photocopies at the back of the originals to make them easy to access....thanks to Nairaland and my brother that told me about this arrangement (NB: Don't staple them pls, use office pin holders to hold them). So I didn't have any wahala at all with oga paulinus.
Oga paulinus first checked in the short term visa people. They were 5 in number.
I was now told to go in for the interview. But before I went in for my interview , we were around 8 Students on the queue. Fast forward to me and Vo;

Me: Good morning
Vo: what are u here for?
Me: Student visa
Vo: Let me have all your documents
Me: Alright ma. Everything?
Vo: Yes
Me: (I gave her all apart from photo passports)
Vo: Can I have your passport?
Me : It's there with the documents (pointing to my International passport on her table)
Vo: No, I mean photo passport
Me: oh...I gave her 4, she returned back 2 apart from the one stapled on the form.
Vo: you are going for bachelors degree?
Me: yes ma
Vo: Have u not had your bachelors before?
Me: I have
Vo: Y another bachelor?
Me: I chose to do my second bachelor because of change in my career path. I currently own a startup business and this degree will increase my specialization in the chosen career and help me become an expert in the field. Again it will help me to run my company more confidently and professionally.
Vo: ok
Vo: Your email is.........(printed 2papers and gave me; confirm your data and sign)
Me: yes they are all correct ( then I signed on both)
Vo: put your 4fingers, right hand first and then your left hand
Mesad placed as requested)
Vo: Can i have your visa fee?
Me: (I gave her, she then counted and gave me a receipt of payment)
Vo: Alright. Lets start the interview now.
Me: ( for my mind nawaa oo...so interview never even started before!) Ok ma
Vo: oh you have funded?
Me: yes ma
Vo: which school are you going to?
Me: Trier University of Applied Sciences, Umwelt-campus Birkenfeld (NB: I was slow because she was typing what I was answering)
Vo: Umwelt-campus?
Me: yes ma.... that's Environmental campus in English
Vo: Course?
Me: Sustainable Business and Technology (bsc)
Vo: Why this course?
Me: this course will help me to build my business management and technological skills to enable me run my startup confidently, effectively and professionally.
Vo: Is the course in English?
Me: Yes it's taught completely in English
Vo: Do u speak German?
Me: No I don't.
Vo: What do u do?
Me: I own a startup business (I called the name and said I have my website and I have got it registered)
Vo: what is the company all about?
Me: it's an on-demand home services technology startup that connects individuals, homeowners and companies to their professional skilled workers.
Vo: Have u been to Germany before?
Me: No ma
Vo: Do u know anyone in Germany?
Me: No ma
Vo: Have u applied for German visa before?
Me: No ma
Vo: Have u applied for visa at all before?
Me: yes ma(Poland). Some years back.
Vo: ok
Vo: why Germany?
Me: Higher education in Germany is among the best in the world(Then light went off, she said I should pause. After like 30seconds, light returned and she said ok continue). Universities in Germany are tuition free which is extended to us the international students. Also Germany is among the safest country to study for international students and I will also have the opportunity to learn a second language which is German and interact with other International Students.
Vo: Why not Nigeria?
Me: This kind of course that combines Business and Technology isn't obtainable in Nigeria. Secondly, we do more of theoritical learning than practical training so it won't help me to expertise in this field.
Vo: why not Uk, Canada or USA?
Me: Their tuition fees are very expensive. I can't afford it.
Vo: what do u know about Germany?
Me: Germany is located in central and Western Europe and it's capital is in Berlin. Germany is boarded by 9countries. Coming from North u have Denmark, down in the south u have Austria and Swiss, to the East u have Poland and Czech , from the West u have Belgium, Luxembourg and Netherlands, if you go down a bit at the south-west u have France (She was nodding her head; mind you I was using this North,south, East, west something to kill time small...lolz but all were very correct and I was saying them slowly). The German president is Frank Walter- Steinmeier and he is the head of state charged with representative responsibilities and power. The chancellor is Angela Dorothea Merkel, the head of government, charged with responsibility of discharging her executive duties through her cabinet. Coming down to the legislative; u have bundesrat headed by Daniel Gunther as the president and Bundestag u have Wolfgang Schauble as the president that oversees the daily session of the house. The reunification of Germany was on October 3 1990(she kept nodding her head). Berlin has the largest train station and Frankfurt has the 4th busiest airport in Europe(at this point my head couldn't remember anything. she said continue. I then said German chancellor office in Berlin is known locally as "Washing machine". Vo said what ? I repeated it but this time in a very low tone. She said don't say what you are not sure of. I come say sorry ma with small smiles and then I scratched my head). Immediately football entered my head and I began to flow once more... Germany have won world cup 4times...1954, 1974, 1990 and 2014. They have also hosted it twice..1974 and 2006. The Euro.....she then said it's ok.
Vo: So what's next after your studies?
Me: I will proceed for my master degree to be grounded in business and Technology. After which I will come back to Nigeria to re-establish my company professionally.
Vo: Alright that will be all .
Me: Thank you ma(I wanted to leave then I returned back, please ma can I ask a question)?
Vo: yes you are free.
Me: please I don't know my fate regarding this interview because am thinking of getting enrolled for German class .
Vo: for me u performed well in your interview but the decision is not only mine but anyway u can go ahead and enroll.
Me: Thank you very much ma.

Security people come dey tap me for small choppings as I dey leave, finally I dropped small tin for them. They tried for me anyway.
NB: I came out from the interview room around 7:45am. When I came out, the Students that were outside should be around 30. Though some might be for Certification. By my own calculation, I spent around 30 to 35mins with the Vo and I was interviewed by the lady in Room 2( Her style of hair be like dreadlock). To be sincere, she was very nice and friendly.
*On a lighter note...I no sleep last night...went to bed by 11:45pm and I set alarm for 3am on my 2phones(imagine). U know all these witch people fit remember person on a day like dis. Anyway they no see me shaa. Na so Lagos people dey suffer rain? It dealt with me shaa. Lagos una good morning! Make I do leave una.
Una welldone oo. Na so my interview waka take go.

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.




Welldone Ogbenivan. Congrats in advance. AM to fall on you soon.

thanks for the link. i only just applied for admission two weeks ago, and i am about booking with an imaginary date since admission will come by july/august, do you think this is safe



@Kolombo88 be very careful applying for AD without AL. Someone booked last week and was scheduled 6days from the date of her interview. What does that tell u? Maybe someone cancelled and it was given to the next person. If u are given such AD, what will u do?
Anyway the choice is yours. Good luck.

TRANSCRIPT
Good morning everyone

So I did my interview today

Got to the embassy around 6:10am and I met few people at the gate. Before I continue, *if you don't have ur B.sc certificate yet, please go and get it from ur university* to avoid shout from the VO and also be very fast when arranging ur documents to avoid Paulinus wrath. So after checking our appointment letter, Paulinus told us to arrange our documents according to the way he is saying. Original one side, photocopies on two different sides. I will advice u separate ur photocopies from each so DAT u can be fast when arrangement. Some persons where sent to the back of the line cos they weren't fast. I was fast and so I was the first to go in and be interviewed. I went in and sat for a while for the signal to go in. After the signal I went to the cubicle. The VO was a fair sweet lady.

Me: My statement is what I have with me (then she kept quiet)...oh boy..I started blasting in tongues in my mind oo while she was confirming my fingers on her system All of a sudden her mood changed to lively and friendly through out the remaining part of the interview.
VO: What is your language of instruction (now in good state, no more anger face)

Me: Told her because of my work experience as a Safety officer at RCC, I was involved in waste management and safety of workers and.....then she cuts in
VO: What do you know about Germany
Me: I gave her 15 facts about Germany (she was very impressed, at least from her behavior, she showed satisfied with the things I said).....go and practice those 44 facts about Germany "google it"
VO: Why do you want to study in Germany
Me: Germany have a high quality education with tuition free universities both for EU citizens and non-EU citizens

VO: So you want to leave your brother in Germany and come to Nigeria( she said this while smiling and laffing)
Me: Yes......(Wetin I wan talk b4...make I say No?...Lolzz)

Let me share my good news. Its with heartwarming delight to announce that I received my AM yesterday. My effort to port to Germany began in March 2018. And since then it's been a rollercoaster. From losing my job in UAE to coming back to Lagos. From trying to get a job in Lagos to running back to Dubai. To the 5 admission denied last year and the long long wait. Blocked account and unblocking it lol.

My second attempt was much easier. Got a job quicker than I expected when I returned back to Dubai and kept trying. I am going to Hochschule Bremen MBA in International Tourism Management. Interview date was May 28 2019.It wasn't actually an interview. I just submitted all documents required and only two question was asked. Have I gotten an accommodation yet? and how will I sponsor myself in the second year?

Funded on 15th June. Sent blocked account info to embassy 18th June. AM received 24th. I will be porting in September.

This is a mile stone in my life knowing where I come from and knowing I did it all by myself with the help of reading on nairaland.

Thanks a lot. God Bless Everyone.



Congrats Onyi2728. Am happy for u. Go and succeed.

Interview transcript
Arrived at the embassy by 5:40am ,decided to chill and relax till 6:30am, at least I know say I come quick. Guys at the park quickly rush me for business, but unfortunately na bad market i be, Lol.

Met Mr paulinus at his usual routine, almost took the urine out of one guy after shouting at him. I just pity the guy and gave him signals to calm down. Me I dey ready for am, so no shaking.

Was ushered in for security checks, and was asked to wait at the seats close to the security checks, neither did I knew they arranged a VIP visa interview for me, Lol. I signalled the security guards that am still waiting and others are being sent inside the consulate building. But he said I should wait when it's time I will be ushered in.

It was time, I was given signal to go in. I met a calm looking lady at the visa room one, she was not smiling ooo, but I have to force smile out of her face after my interview.

My questions were more of personal questions as she noticed I have been there before now. No much hassles. But was just making emphasis on me funding on time.

The questions goes thus

What are you going for, msc or bsc?
Which school and what course
What is your bsc course, and what year did you graduate
What have you been doing
What's the relationship between your bsc and your proposed masters
Are you married?
Your bsc thesis?

All personal questions like I earlier mentioned. Even if you wake me up ten times, I go tell you without stress.

The only question that doesn't relate to me is this

Tell me what you know about Germany, na she even stop me cos talk go plenty.
What are you going to do after studying?

That's all for now. She now asked any question for me. I was like shebi you no want laugh abi, you go laugh by force. Now I asked her what does the embassy have for me, she was like what do you mean, I told her on a lighter note, my birthday is coming up three days from now so I asked again what does the embassy have for me, any gifts or surprise package, she have to force out laughter from her face unknowingly and said I should please go as I have no serious question for her.

My people na so I take go oooo. Just went to catch my fun jare.



Big Eldee well done. Na so we suppose dey drop transcript. DE awaits u soon. Congrats my brother

Transcripts from my interview at the German consulate
Lagos on 20.06.2019

Arrived there at 5.30 am. At 6.15am one of the security guys verified the appointment and stamped the appointment letters.

Lined up at 6.30am
One guy helped in arranging the documents and ushered us in. ( Either it's not Paulinus or Paulinus was misrepresented. The man was *nice*).

Whats are your names ?
What Visa are you applying for ?
V.O goes through my documents.
V.O Asked me to arrange them in a particular sequence using a list she gave me.

Gave me 3 copies of data protection documents to sign (returned 2 copies to her)

Gave me one printout and asked me to confirm my details on the form and sign.

V.O asked if I'm going for masters or bachelors.
V.O collected the VISA fees and gave me receipt.
What School and course ?
Asked me to explain troubleshooting.
V.O took my biometrics
V.O starts asking questions.
V.O asked if I've funded ? Answered in the affirmative and showed her coracle confirmation.. says she's never seen coracle before. Told her it's like fintiba.

Before asking questions she told me she didnt want stories.... just concise answers and straight to the point.

Why Germany ?
Asked for 5 facts about Germany
Why not Nigeria ? (tried comparing Nigeria education system with Germany... V.O says she didnt want comparisons)
Why not U.S or U.K
What are the products Germany exports ?
Mention automobiles produced in Germany
(Included textile and clothings in the list, vo looked surprised said shes just hearing that for the first time)
Asked for my bachelors thesis (she asked further questions about outcome of the research)
Asked what's the plan after the masters.. (told her I'm coming back to take up a senior role in my company .. asked how much am I earning )
Asked what type of company and what they do..
That concludes the interview. my office will get back to you.

PS: The V.O was nice, wasn't too fast and didnt interjects.. she listens to responses then type the responses in. Was interviewed by the lady on low cut with tinted hair.. think she was in counter 2

Also didnt use the telephone for interview... spoke with the V.O through the glass...



Congrats 3T. U will smile soon . All the Best man.

Good morning beautiful people. Please any one with email address or phone number I can contact the consulate on the status of visa application. Its been 7weeks on and no AM. Thanks



@Sirarim13........am sorry but I am going to be blunt again like I used to. I took time to check your NL account here. It's so bad that all most of us do here is take...take and take without giving to this forum. It's 7weeks since u went for your interview and u are yet to drop your transcript to this forum. Honestly you are not been fair to others here. What does it take to write your transcript ? Remember u read people's transcript before your interview. So all u do is to ask questions and never contribute. My friend, is it fair? No answer me, is it fair? Don't tell me u will drop it when u get ur AM. I will continue to say it, please let's help one another here . Now u have problem and u have remembered NL people. Anyway people will answer you but let's try and change our ways.

Hey Guys, Here's my experience at the Embassy.

Mr Paulinus wasn't what I expected, listen to him, don't panic and you'll be okay.

So he sorted my documents at the gate, I went in to the Visa section and waited almost an hour.

I was the first person for student visa.

I was attended to by a lady VO

*Transcript*

VO: Hi, Good morning, what are you here for?
Me: Student Visa
VO: For what course?
Me: ------
VO: You have not funded, I can't find any proof that you have even opened the account,
Me: I was not expecting a Visa appointment date this early, I only had three weeks to prepare.
VO: She hands me two forms to sign indicating that my application might be rejected if I don't provide the complete documents by email.
Me: I signed the documents, letting her know I'll send it via email next week. ( *EPP Me I'm looking for 500k* ���

VO: Why this course.
Me: &---
VO: Why Germany
Me: Free Tuition and Access to a world Class education.
VO: Why not UK or US?
Me: I can't afford it.
VO: What do you know about Germany?
Me: I talked until I ran out of facts, she wasn't satisfied, ��‍♂��‍♂��‍♂.
VO: What do you do now?
Me: I work as a media specialist for a company in Lagos.
VO: But you studied Agriculture, How come you're a media person?
Me: I was a photographer during my undergraduate days and I picked up skills in media.
VO: How much are you getting paid?

Me: Told her my Monthly salary and mentioned that I got it a few days after completion of my NYSC, I mentioned that I had done a few jobs for my employer as a student and corper, hence, he decided to bring me on.

She also asked if I had learnt German, I said not officially.

She said I include my form number on the email I send with the confirmation of funds.

NB: They'll hold on to your original Certificates.




@Saswuatch......Thank u very much for dropping your transcript. May AM fall on u soon.

SooCute:
Hearty congratulations newly admitted! Lob sei Gott!!
Apologies for those i am unable to respond to their PMs na hustle cause am.

I wish to thank all the contributors in this forum. just to add to what @Eldee narrated, i'd list few things that you might need to consider now you might still have time.

1) Get a drivers licence/learn driving. My company offered me a car, but i no get license. it will give you access to wide range of job opportunities. I no come fit spend 1800 euro plus the time to get am sharperly. To buy car here easy...sometimes you might wanna be sassy-classy grin grin grin grin grin grin grin.renting a Mercedes benz here for trip (better one is about 5 euro/day) Suffer nogo kill you for this life.

2) Equip yourself. I got many opportunities. Forget dirty jobs, neat ones dey too grin grin grin grin grin if you clean yourself from home.
example, i got an offer as social media content management/development (just be snapping photo for them, editing with photoshop/InDesign and upload in their social media platforms like their Facebook account, Instagram etc for 15euro/hr). Challie, i no sabi photshop ni. As a sharp guy i asked during the interview if i can learn in 2 weeks, they said "leider nicht".(Unfortunately no). Fvck! i lost the job and missed the fvcking cozy office grin grin grin grin grin grin
Like i earlier mentioned, learn any functional programming language, u go be chairman. I also got a Nach hilfe (Extra-moral class for kinda SS3 mathematics class) 25 euro per hour. So you see?

3)If admitted, act with faith (I did so). Study related topics you might be needing for your future course. Revise your old notes. If you have access to internet, download or follow verified tutors on youtube. The thing is, you might not understand everything yet, but when you have an idea, its easier to ask the right question when it shows up in class.

4) Accommodation is a huge challenge (not a problem). If you are like me that like to be comfortable, apply for SWG in your city. This should be one of the earliest stuffs you should do. It's a government owned housing agency...their rooms are perfect and spacious with dining. Me i cannot comman squeez myself in one box and still pay high rent. SWG houses are fucking cheap. Embarrassingly cheap.
If you rent under someone, you can be kicked out, its not secured. But SWG, you are renting direct from gwomenti. everything is standard.

5) If you are like me that had no one to pick me from airport and you no wan dey jump train or miss road, abeg avoid the stress. There is a reliable transportation here called Flixbus. When you are sure of your travel date, you can contact someone here to book it for you from airport direct to your city. It is even cheaper and more comfortable than train.

6) If you can learn how to barb or shave yourself, you are luck. Buy clipper. Learn it if possible. i was forced to. normally barbing here, cheapest is 10 euro. Shaving 3 euro. When i came newly, i barbed for 29 euro, mostly need to barb 2wice a week, when i did the maths, e no soft oooo. Alaye na polythene bag you wan use comeback naija

7) Open a euro account with a reliable bank. Get all the details, if you are married and you trust your spouse, make it a joint account. In fact, find a way of dumping euro in Naija when you come here. If possible, make a possibility that your spouse (back home) or your siblings or your lawyer or your best friend can be able to withdraw the money if you authorize.


cool You will meet so many small children here. Don't be deceived. If you don reach to marry, marry. No dey do baby-pan-cake. shatap ya mauth grin grin grin grin. Truth is, you will never remain young.

9) If you are wishing to marry oyibo or oyibo marry you, get prepared. What worked for Mr A might not work for Mr B. What i mean to say is, prepare other strategies. No go abandon school unto all-is-in-order. People no dey hard to frustrate for this town. If e no dey for paper, no be you get m, even if you give oyibo belle, if she no go declare am for office, you still dey on a long thing. If you catch the one wey love you, she go even cry make you marry am, even carry am go Naija. But the thing is, you are the Nigeria she is seeing. Some of us here dey mumu. creating very silly impressions. When i see them i just turn left. Nonsense.

10) Within your last few weeks of travel, go for proper medical checkup (I checked everything grin grin grin grin grin). Be sure you treat any of our tropical sicknesses. Because if you carry malaria come here, na ambulance things. But here, malaria no dey to the best of my knowledge. I go hospital tell them say "doctor na malaria....na my normal sickness for nigeria, whenever i dey feel like this, i just know say na malaria" i just dey talk like small pikin, at he end, no be malaria. Shame no dey gree me go there again grin grin grin grin. come with some drugs if you wanna. its not necessary if you ask me.

11) Don't learn the language! As a big boy/girl na nonsense grin grin grin grin grin grin grin grin I am an opposite living testimony.

12) There are many things to distract you here, even your fellow blacks....in fact Nigerians. Get ready for it all. Know what you want and go for it. Don't reveal too much about your personality. Sadly, na person wey sabi you go betray you.

THIS IS YOUR GERMANY;
YOU PRAYED FOR
YOU HOPPED FOR
YOU INVESTED IN
TAKE IT FVCKING PERSONAL!!!!!!!

K'emesia.
