Omo pls be sure o honestly...and the block account maybe you should book an appointment at the embassy for block account but if its the fintiba way ..the form A stuff takes time honestly one month might not just be enough i suggest you do the block account stuff at the embassy ....someone gave me that advise last year but it was too late..one of the reasons why I'm still in Nigeria till now the form A took a lot of freaking time...even with the debit slip and everything i showed the interviewer she said the proof of fully funded block account is mandatory

Chaps112:
Please anyone with great information for me.

I booked appointment yesterday and I got next month to come for an interview. I want to ask if my blocked account is not yet funded, is it possible to go for the interview and complete the fund later or should I cancel the appointment and rebook another appointment?. Please help a brother. Thanks..

Bro with all due respect, what you listed is not a process for Form A in any bank. Because I didn't do any of those things you listed and I was debit for the form on 16th of this month by the same GTB which means I am now in the process if not that I asked them to refund my money that I am no longer interested.

The frustration of form A made me to get in to the bank to know how the whole process works.

I applied in GTB my main Bank, FirstBank, Fidelity, Ecobank, Keystone Bank and Unity Bank.

How Form A works is this.
When you apply for a 'Form A" you chose the Bank you want to process it for you and then a Branch of the Bank.

The Branch you chose to process your Form A has access to the documents you uploaded, after you submit your Form they review it and if it's okay, they will request you to bring in the hardcopy to verify that they're genuine and not fake documents you uploaded (that is the reason for chosing a branch is to collect the hardcopy of the documents you uploaded and verify if they're genuine and not fake. But because Nigeria banks are lazy to do their job, only FirstBank asked for the hardcopy)

After reviewing and everything is okay, they will debit you 5k for form and forward it to their headquarters for disbursement.

Note the review time at your branch depends on the number of applicants in the branch you chose. So it is advisable to chose a branch you know will have lesser applicant.

Now at the headquarters they process it by branch, that is, each branch has a quarter.

For example if you apply in GTB branch A in May and Branch A has 50 applicant and and you're number 20 in the Branch A queue. Another person applied in GTB Branch B in July and Branch B has only 3 People, the person that applied in branch B will get first before person in Branch A.

Now the reason why GTB ask their customers to contact their account officer is because of the mad queue. If your Account officer is as lazy as mine, he will not even push for your form to be reviewed at the branch where you chose let alone forwarding it to the headquarters.


Sorry don't mind my typos

Hopefully cus I booked for appointment 7th of February last year and I haven't gotten an appointment yet

dennison4luv:
That is wrong, what you read is that it takes 15months to get visa appointment date for interview. After your interview within 2 mothns your visa supposed to be out.

Guys, I applied for Study visa since December 17th 2021. I haven't gotten an Appointment Date till now. What's going on? Is there anyone like me here?

Allesgut:
Hello guys! For those who already had their interview and have been waiting, be of good cheer, God has smiled on us. By the grace of God I received my AM yesterday. To God be the glory.

Mimiomotoyosi:
Can anyone recommend a cheap hotel or hostel around VI or embassy?

Hessian:
I have an admission for an Msc program in project management that is to commence in September, 2023. Based on what I have been seeing here as per appointment, is it still feasible to get an appointment before then ?

Please I need advice on this before committing the fee deposit of 2500 Euro.

somto234567:

Have u finally gotten a date

Intercontinenta:
Congratulations bro. I also booked the same time. I got my appointment today. I've always been a passive observer in the group.

When is your own date?

Divwake:
I just got an appointment.

Divwake:
surprising to me... Because I booked late November. That's my worry

kcnwaigbo:
You must be incurably stupid

Gerrard59:
I am genuinely curious, why is the situation so bad that an embassy says visa appointment can be slated a year after application for mere student visa? Even the US people criticise for being too high-handed does not do such.

No be the same Germany wey wan reduce the years to become a German citizen and wants to legalise dual citizenship?

Divwake:
2021 or 2022?

Musicbox1:
When did you book your appointment please?

smokinloud:
Can I book appointment without getting admission letter
