Please i want to ask.
In our passport,where we have the biodata page the passport number details there is 9 in total including the Alphabet.

But when you look down to where you have that country code stuff,theres an additional number there which wasn't part of the normal passport number.
Abeg people that had gone to the Embassy should explain this to us,let us not wait in vain. Is it 9 characters in total including the Alphabet?? @Hannania

adeniranfam:
What about people that booked appointment on the new portal, how soon can we get a date?

Pls I need help I booked and appointment for the wrong visa option

Hello everyone, this is going to be a long post so I am sorry in advance, please bear with me.
Firstly, I am grateful to all the kind and generous people on this platform who constantly share genuine and good advice regarding the whole visa processing.
As someone who has been silently observing this thread for the past two months to monitor visa updates, I am simply amazed by how selfless and encouraging people can be on here, it's really motivating. Thanks once again everyone.
Please I'd appreciate your kind inputs and advice, my questions are thus:
1.) I applied for Category B study visa for masters program on the 21st of December 2024, on the old platform and I got a reference number, of which I was told the waiting period was over a year. So, since I was sent a confirmation email that my booking was successful, I just want to be sure of this, I have no business with the new visa application portal, right?
2.) Also, since the waiting period was initially almost 2 years, I had mentally calculated that my appointment date would probably be sent around 2026, however as the updates here mentioned that the embassy was speeding up the process recently, I began to wonder if it won't be too late to wait for 2026 winter admission because my appointment date might have been sent before I get my admission letter, so I was considering applying this April for 2025 winter admission, which starts in October 2025 for my desired institution, is that a good choice?
3. Is there any slightest possibility that the embassy can actually get to December 2024 this year with the current pace? And if my appointment date is sent after my school has resumed for winter session, will my visa still be issued provided I have all the required documents?
4. I don't remember clearly, but I think when booking for the study visa appointment, based on my initial premonition about the waiting period, I had chosen October 2026 as intended start date for the winter admission, so if I gain admission for 2025 winter session instead and get my appointment date, will I be queried during the interview for writing a different start date or does it not matter?
I anticipate your kind responses and sorry once again for the long post. Thanks in advance.

Please assist…
I’m a first class student. Already gotten MSc admission to Uni Kassel but I can’t find where it is indicated on the new visa appointment portal to apply as category A.
My resumption is on 1st of October.

I also want to know if it’s okay to open my block account with EXpatrio while I arrange for fund to transfer into it in few weeks time.

I need your advice please😌

Freebys:
Wow, they should not slow it down too much, I applied July 30th
Also do they only give out dates on fridays

chibulati:
Please my people, I booked for appointment on July 2024.

And when is the visa section going to be open is after getting the appointment?

Jayseecar:
Hello guys, I applied for a scholarship but was admitted on self funding basis to the RUHR Bochum University, however I am still applying for external scholarship but want to begin the visa process, my questions are
1. I noticed there is a new application process where you just upload all docs online at the initial stage, does this make the processing time faster? or it is still about 20months waiting time?
2. do I need IELTS or TOEFL for visa application? or a certificate of proficiency from my uni can suffice?
3. I saw first school leaving certificate needed? for real?
4. If I don't get the scholarship, I don't know what to do cos tuition alone is 16k
please advice me

we4u:
No it's not. I attached a screenshot.

we4u:
I am still searching the other one i saw has a paid tuition about 6500 - 7000/ Year.

we4u:
Yes i did, I also got help from my brother who studies there.

we4u:
Details to check the WAEC, you mean?


Their response was that they cannot go into the real reason why it was rejected at this moment. Saying you are welcome to apply to another course

we4u:
During my research i saw that it was classifed as an M-course. I attached my result

we4u:
Okay, Most likely reason number 2. I mean i have science background and i applied for BSc. Biomedical Technology.

we4u:
I did not apply directly to Nordhausen, I appleid through TU Ilmenau. Can you shed more light on that. Maybe i went about it wrongly

we4u:
Staatliches Studienkolleg via Technische Univeristat Ilmenau
Studienkolleg an der HTWG Konstanz.

we4u:
Hello everyone,

I am currently seeking advice regarding Studienkolleg applications, as I have faced some rejections in my previous attempts. I would greatly appreciate connecting with others who are also pursuing this educational path or have successfully completed the process. So i get one or more ideas.

Little Background

- WAEC Certificate
- B1 Goethe Certificate.

Currently, waiting for my B2 result.

adeiza0406:
what i mean is after you have completed your visa appointment, how soon before you get AM from the embassy for CAT B. I know CAT A get their AM in a one week.

adeiza0406:
Hi everyone, please how long does it take to get AM after your AD for CAT B applicants.

pineapplejuice:
Thanks, they stopped at July 9th last week?

Hannania:
You'll get a date this year. Just make your you have your Admission letter and proof of funds ready

Freebys:
Hey did you end up getting a date?

Zeedar:
Please I want to ask if the application for appointment is free and also please what are the documents needed for the application.

It's great to be back after a long break! It's been 5 years since I started my journey from here (Part 5), and I must say, relocating to Germany has been the best decision I've ever made. To all the applicants out there, keep pushing forward—trust me, you won't regret it. God bless you all, and a big thank you to those who take the time to respond to questions here. God bless you!.

Quick question: my brother just got accepted into AD, but unfortunately, he hasn't secured admission yet. What's the best way to navigate this situation?
