Emmiefadz:
Please can anyone give me eetails about Stuttgart? I'm going there for masters... I mean job opportunities and the nature of the city

Hab' keine Angst Just hop on that plane.

Hopefully you speak deutsch Schwäbisch

That after-exam fresh breath

How time flies..

All the best fam.

Been ages. My stay so far has been nothing short of amazing. From backflipping on the escalator in Frankfurt to making egusi with sunflower oil, the nice folks, a taste of world class education(Being taught by likes of Professors who wrote software codes for Boeing airplanes has to count for something right?), und so weiter.

Just come with a clear head, positive energy, and grab you some deutsch! (Ever heard of the invisible padlock? The one that Locks your mouth even when you have so much to say? ) No come turn deaf & dumb for here Please learn you some. I have a feeling that could be one of the factors that frustrate some here.

Wishing the incomings the best. I'd love to help few peeps applying for summer or winter -specifically those that couldn't make it again this winter even after being admitted, for visa issues. If re-applying to multiple Uni's I wouldn't mind forwarding your docs (the normal cheatcode of packing all sets in one big envelope and sending to me while I disperse to the various uni's) and maybe paying one or two uniassist fees -all free of charge. Just for a few peeps. So please hit the pm button whenever, I'll be an email away.


Viel Glück.

I applied to Studentenwerk in April and they responded last week that I couldn't get a room. I've seen a few options for private accommodation

Godspeed.

thatafricanchic:


I am going to Siegen, currently looking for accommodation. Email me at thatafricanchic(at)gmail(dot)com for any info. I feel like I've gained so much knowledge from the whole process as I had already applied in April but withrew

Accommodation at Siegen shouldn't be stressful. Just visit the studentenwerk Siegen site. You'd download a form which you'll fill out and submit either via email or with the help of someone already in Siegen. Costs about €20 or so i can't recall. An early application could guarantee an apartment and they are quite cheap.

You could pm @kelvinpam - Oga Siegen.

Hello guys plz I need connection in Berlin.

Have you tried Vodafone or o2 bruh?

dilahel:
Hello,

Please I got this mail below from deutsche bank and I am bit confuse to their last request of potentially additional pages. Has anyone gotten a similar mail from them.

Dear Sir or Madam,

thank you for sending us your account opening documents.

We regret your account cannot be opened for the following reason(s):

the photocopy of your passport is incomplete

Please send us a photocopy of your signed passport authenticated by the German Embassy, including potentially additional pages containing your signature and the issuing authority, only by postal or courier service.
For this purpose please use the enclosed cover sheet.

If we do not receive the documents until the above mentioned date, we will consider your request as finished.


Mit freundlichem Gruß / Kind regards

Deutsche Bank
Privat- und Geschäftskunden AG
Ausländische Studenten

They just want a fresh copy of your passport data page. Just make two clear copies and also go with your passport and have them certified at the consulate (you might need an appointment for this) then send it to DB via post. The additional potential pages are for those whose passports , maybe, carry the signature and issuing authority part on a separate page. Our dear Naija passport has all on one page.

I guess they also attached a form to fill in ur details for easy matching to your previous form

All the best.

UncleJudax:

Hehehe. Your bursar is the sole signatory to the school account? Oh well, he couldn't have been moved by such paltry sum. I bet there is more than €8090 in his sight at anytime.

Yea but this particular €8090 looks like voicemail money u no dig? Seen the bdc rates lately? No dare bursar. He'll pocket your cheese in a sec.

UncleJudax:

I think thats the case...I have been hitting the roof for a week on why my alert was being delayed.

Only yesterday, I found out Fidelity transferred the fund with the incorrect IBAN (the school IBAN on the admission letter for semester contribution payment)

That was so incompetent of them, cos they insisted on evidence of living costs from the school before they can transfer to a personal account (my DB blocked account). Only to transfer to the school account.

Anyway, the amendment was initiated yesterday, to re-route the fund to my DB account. Hopefully everything gets sorted next week....


Viel Glück Alle.

If the bursar of my alma mater got such huge alert, he'd withdraw it, resign and disappear before Fidelity bank and yourself even figures out whatsup. Re-route ke

Katechuks:
I really admire the Efforts u Guys are making to raise the Money for this Blocked Account, 8090 and now + 750 in this Situation of our Beloved NIJA, Na wa o. I hail all of u and pray the good Lord to crown all your Efforts with Success.

Please i Need advice or rather Clarification on the Issue of Interview Date. A Relative of Mine waited so Long to get an Interview Date. she wrote First one on the 6th of July, got no Reply. On the 11th, she was told of the Online booking Sysytem. She booked the only early Date available on that Day which was 1st September. After discovering that the Embassy doesnt accept the online booking, she wrote them a Second Mail. After weeks of waiting They then gave her thesame 1st of September per Email. The Problem is that the Enrollment for her School Ends on the 6th of October. We really hoped she would get an earlier Date. It's only 4weeks and some days to her Enrollment Deadline. We don't Know If the embassy will consider her since their approximated Visa Processing Time is 6-8 weeks.

Is it advisable for her to Write the Embassy an Email, explain her Situation and ask for an earlier Interview Date? I told her to do that but she is afraid of the Embassy and their System. She Said they might get annoyed that she is disturbing and Mark her Bad already before her Interview . I Know we have experiences People in the House, Please what do u advice her to do?

Hallo,
Tell her to write her school explaining that visa processing takes quite a while in her home country and it would be quite a shame if that hinders her starting her studies this winter. Then let her focus on her interview. They would surely extend the enrollment deadline for her. I know someone who just did this recently and her deadline was shifted from 8th September (Ikr?)to about middle of October and she is done with interview already.

I believe she has applied for her DB account. Once it drops she should come and take a skinny-dip with us in this forex pool, the water is warm...,and try funding if possible before her interview on the 1st of September (This could even do the trick without enrollment extension )

Winter16' I hail oo. It's not beans . but dem no get choice but to let us go....cos we no get choice too.

P.S. My heart goes out to München, the mall shooting .Eke et al ya'll should stay tight.

iamzizou:
@painpill @angelangelangel I need clarification on this please, I'm going for Msc and from the visa checklist, it was written to bring along my WAEC certificate.... should I go with my Bsc certificate instead? Cos there's a lil issue with my Waec certificate

Why did you let the "lil issue" linger till now? That's like one of the most important docs to them for some reason (the scratch card inclusive). If a court affidavit can fix the issue you should do so asap. "Incomplete applications would be rejected free of charge".

Nnamdyjoe:
The SOP in question, is it about ur travelling to Germany or about the course u r going to study. Danke

Could be a little blend of both. Why you want to study your course in Germany.

domex007:

From ur transcript I take it that u r going for masters? as for people that didn't go for German classes how do they answer the question about the language?
Thanks

You could say you are learning via self-study or if your school offers German tutorials you could mention that too n say you'll learn when you go over. It doesn't affect your visa processing once your programme is English taught(Just shows preps you've made for your stay in Deutschland I guess)

okezie007:

What's about the dreaded 5days mail?

Any "a.m mail" you receive from the embassy within 5days after your interview could spell disaster. Anything asides an email to fund your account=99.8% rejection.

okezie007:


Wow!!! Did you answer all this adequately? It doesn't seem like she was disposed to take it easy with you. And I guess you didn't use the blocked account option for your means of upkeep - perhaps she wouldn't have bombarded you this way. However, wish you positve outcome

Lol sure?? I used blocked account bruh. I think i must've reminded her of her ex or something. Either way, I didn't get the dreaded 5days mail.

praiseovie:
@Painpill i greet u boss. LWKMD.
i saw those of 40 sef and more, but i never wan imagine am ney make i dey cite example with small number
e be like you be unique product! i finish from upee also elect/elect 2012 set oh

Jonzing man. You no tell me say your admission don drop abi? That B1 Prüfung you write today your result na red ink go full am

Interview was earlier in the week. My transcript.

 Went in 6:30am. Did my biometrics, paid visa fee, submited my docs and my file was created and visa receipt given to me. I wrote my SOP in 10mins, submitted and waited for my interview. After attending to those for DB opening et al my interview started around 11/12pm.

-Do you speak deutsch?
-Where did you learn?
-To what level?
-Why Germany? 
-Why do you wana study this course?
-Why not in the  UK or US?
-How did you get to know about the school n course?
-How did you apply?
-How much did you pay to uniassist? 
-What docs did you submit during application? 
-What response did you get after application?
-Plans after studies? 
-Timeline from primary school till date.
-Your course structure. 
-All modules from 1st-4th semester. 
-Means of sponsorship?
-Parents occupation?
-Name of company?
-Bsc project topic? (And she googled it n blew me questions related to it)
-List textbooks you used during your Bachelors (Ikr? She typed all)
-Tell me more about your intended course of study (and she was googling n asking me questions related)
-Got family in Germany? 
-Friends? 
-Name of course coordinator? 
-Ever applied for a German or schengen visa?
-Tell me bout your city?
-Name of your mayor? 
-Spell it?
-Population of your city, state,  n germany? 
-Kinda system of government practised in Germany? 
-Name of president & chancellor & their parties? 
-Name all German states?
-Neighbouring countries? 
-How have you been preparing for your stay in Germany?
-Made accommodation arrangements? 
Ayt, you'll be contacted via e-mail. Byee.(gave me back my passport)

My tips: -Practice writing your SOP in 10mins before your interview.
-Chow before going cos the worms in your tummy will gain free entry visa to all parts of your Gastrointestinal tract before you even get to talk to the VO. You can also say you don't have your prepaid courier envelope and you'll be asked to go get it after writing your SOP. Then you can use that opportunity to go eat/drink something. Won't be fun watching those security guys pulling out plates from the microwave and 1-litre sprite bottles by 11am while you wait for your interview with growling stomach. 
-You might also be given a written test as the dude before me got softened with some math questions.

Ciao.

praiseovie:
@UncleJudax thanks. you don enter germo already, or you are among #teamwinter2016
my concern was because some of the infos that i read about, can consist of like 7 to 12 or more number of people in a floor with you having your personal room which only you have access to, but you share the rest part of the building

7-12? I've seen 40 on a floor on some STW pages There are definitely single rooms too and doubletts. Just search well. All depends on what's obtainable in your school. It's not as crazy as played out in your head tho. No be mandela hall for Upiee.

SCHOOLDROPOUT:
It's good to be realistic. Nonetheless, we shouldn't be too negative because we want to allay our optimistic bias.

You too like optimism bias Oya go back finland thread! Btw when will that thread move to part two?? Since 2012

I soo miss @Zeeblamj. She was the realest lady to grace this thread.

Bitter women are PMSing crazy this year..

Meanwhile, I was earning 100€ monthly

Beebee, typo??

chrisley024:
@Painpill, that's like about 6weeks, it is taking longer time. Mine is on its 4th week now. With the exchange rate and increment in the fee, that account thing is low on my priority now. Let me face my interview next week abeg.

Lol yea you should focus on your interview. The account details will drop by the time you really need it.

louisilva:
Abeg, who in the house has sent mail to Deustche bank by filling their contact form to inquire about account details? Cos I did that to inquire since I sent my forms almost two weeks ago and the reply I got was dat my documents hasnt arrived at their deparment. Even when UPS tracked and gave confirmation that it was delivered and signed for.

Two weeks after sending the account opening form I filled the contact form on DB's site and got the email below the same day:

Thank you for your message. After having received your complete documents at the student department (Deutsche Bank Privat- und Geschaeftskunden AG, Auslaendische Studenten, Alter Wall 53, 20457 Hamburg), the handling time for opening a blocked account is approximately 2 weeks at the moment. After that you will get a confirmation eMail. You will also receive a message, if any information is missing.  Please note, that Deutsche Bank doesn’t send receipt notifications.Please check your spam folder regulary because the eMails get sorted out sometimes.If you haven’t received any notice from Deutsche Bank after the time mentioned, please use the contact form on our website
https://www.deutsche-bank.de/pfb/content/pk-konto-und-karte-international-students.html?pfb_tab=34880-34883 Please select “Non customer” and fill in all the details. After that you will get a reply within 1 to 2 weeks.We thank you for your assistance and wish you a pleasant day.
Kind regards,
Your Deutsche Bank
Alexander Both.

Then I checked out the new contact form and filled it out. Got the email below today:


Thank you for your reply. Please note that the handling time for these requests is a little longer than usual at the moment due to the large amount of applications.We are confident that you will receive an eMail within the next week.Thank you for your patience and have a pleasant day.
Kind regards,

Alexander Both

Then I got my DB details a few minutes after that.

P.S. I sent my account opening form on the 25th of May and got it today. Hope you find this useful while also laughing at the guy's name that sent me the mails

chrisley024:

Yes yes, second admission drops. Rhine waal. Where are all my Rhine people. It's raining admissions here. Lol. Thanks to everyone on this thread. U make things so easy. Thanks guys. Thank you Jesus. None like u

honourableseyi:

Nothing is wrong. Rhinewal has not started giving admission as far as I know. By the time they do, you yourself go run cause it will be coming left and right, front and back provided they haven't changed. Shalom

chrisley024:
Pls is the Residence Permit number same as Passport no. in the Visa Application Form?

RP number should be blank.

chrisley024:
How far with the visa fee?. A guy was saying it's now 19.5k. Any info on that?

17k.

@the_incomplete_application_guy; there might be a chance you applied for more than 3courses without Numerus Clausus at the school hence they bounced the others, uni-assists's Englisch for that is also "incomplete application". So check again.
