We’re not sure yet if the rejection was because they used the point based system for them, I wish they would help us understand

I think when you are applying on the website there is a place to select whether you are applying based on points or skilled worker program. I recall seeing something like that

jakjohnny:
I’ve received a response on my application: rejected.

Interview 11/08/26
Decided 22/10/26
Docs received 23/10/26

Rejection reasons:

1. Insufficient evidence of job-search efforts

The consulate says you did not demonstrate any job applications or concrete employment opportunities in Germany. It therefore questioned whether your intention to seek employment was credible.




2. Your academic results

The letter specifically mentions your 2023 bachelor's degree and its classification as Second Class – Lower Division, saying your academic record did not make a convincing overall impression.




3. No demonstrated work experience

The consulate states that you had not demonstrated any work experience. This is particularly important because you have held engineering roles, so we should examine what employment evidence you submitted with your application.




4. Insufficient German-language preparation

The letter argues that learning basic German before travelling would have demonstrated greater seriousness about finding employment. It does not say that a particular German-language certificate was an absolute legal requirement for your application.

That No 4 is valid. If you are on a one year waiting list use the time to study the language. Even if your visa application is rejected a new language on your CV is an advantage.

So sorry for the rejection. This can be so painful.

[quote author=XoDidi post=141008846][/quote]Skilled worker is just the best and easiest route to be honest though it is best to learn the language to better integrate.

Appointment successfully booked for 22nd of September... God help me!!! 🙏🏾

Congrats in advance. When did you join the waitlist please and when did they open the portal for you to resubmit or edit your application? It would be seriously helpful to know the timelines.

Saudi Arabia wey be Muslim dey support Israel. Instead of make Britain lock up make the Middle East countries sort themselves out dem dey chook head.

Laryfrosh:
Yea... You can do that but I don't think it's a requirement for this visa path

My path is opportunity card (skilled worker). You know there is also opportunity card (points based).

Which path are you on please? Sorry for the many questions o.

Laryfrosh:
Ah! Na vision be this one 😅
November or December by God's grace 🙏🏾

All the best. Can you speak German?

Laryfrosh:
I don't think degree authentication is required for this visa path... You submit online, same way you applied...

I saw something online about verification of your degree with Federal ministry of education and after that Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Laryfrosh:
I have just been asked to submit my application for preliminary review. Joined the queue on October 30th 2025.

Wow. Congrats. Is it physical submission and how many weeks? And have you done degree authentication?

Please I want to ask the people that have gone so far and planning to go how are you coping with language? How long did you learn the language?

My passport is expiring in June next year (So 11 months left) but I want to begin the renewal process now. Should I select expired or exhausted pages on the platform? And which is better between Ikoyi and Alausa? Thanks.

This tip is for DIY Passport Renewal
The major hurdle I faced was uploading an image that meets ICAO Image guidelines.
I took the following steps to succeed with my image upload:
Download the app ReadID Me (Android/iOS)
Enable NFC on your phone (Phone must be NFC-enabled).
Enter your passport number, date of birth, and expiry date when prompted
Hold your phone flat against the biodata page until it reads (Only scans passports with NFC chips)
The app extracts and displays your stored biometric photo, which you can save
I shared what the app extracted via email so I could download my photo
Then I resized the photo to be 2x its size using Paint app on Windows PC
I uploaded the resized photo on Claude AI and asked it to process it properly according to the ICAO image guidelines for Nigeria passport portal.
I uploaded the image Claude AI generated on my passport application portal and it worked yaay!
The ICAO image issue almost drove me crazy lol because I think i tried everything
You need a NFC-enabled phone for this method.
I hope this helps someone
Phew

God bless you for this. I used this method and it worked. Though i didn't do any resizing on Paint app and i used gemini ai on create image mode instead of claude ai due to exhausation of free limit.

Howfar

Sharrap

But what is it with Ronaldo’s fans and the hate for Messi and the hate for Ronaldo from Messi’s fans. I have never understood this quarrel. This two people are enjoying themselves with dollars in their accounts while their fans are dragging each other on social media

0Brien:
Messi is just posing for cameras. Leave those tears

I feel so as well. If e no cry them fit drag am sey e no play well cos he don win am before.

bentenny:
Commentator stop it abeg🤣🤣🤣
At 43 years?

Me and my brother burst laugh when e talk am.

Messi is crying and i am crying with him

Did Spain plan this?? If they had scored early Argentina would have pushed early and equalized.

Argentina are doing what they have been doing since. Equalizing at last minute

Argentina will equalize. I said it first.

Omo! All the ex players of Spain dey stands oo

Time for Argentina to do their magic.

SQLmastar:


But I wonder why people hate Messi so much. What crime did he commit? Is it because he can't speak English or what?

Yes. I think that lack of English has made him seem unapproachable or reserved or something. Ronaldo is more outgoing and outspoken.

geoworldedu:
You didn't watch what happened? They stepped on a defender's leg and he was already on the floor before they scored.

A backward step. Was it really enough to deny the goal?

If this thing enter Penalty kick Argentina will win. When something is your destiny you will be playing rubbish and still get that thing.

blackslayer:
The Argentine are racists piece of shit! Check your history!

Is that all? Lmao Which Non-African country is not a racist piece of shit??

blackslayer:
Spain is so dumb! They want to walk the ball into the goal, just take your shots dammit! I hate Argentina so much.

Be honest. Is it Argentina you hate or Messi?? Better release the hate in your heart.

Chai. I want Argentina to win but this goal that was denied will make people start talking about fifa again. I hate matches like this that give me tension. Someone should just score and end this torment.

Argentina are lucky oo. Even commentator talk sey e no see wetin cause the denial of the goal.

NaijaReppin:
It would be mental if Messi go score, win game 1 - 0

That one go require serious Celestial Aladura

Spain carry your cup!

If this happens ehn then it is written in the stars cos e be like say Argentina don put juju for goal post.
