I had my interview on the 18th of May, 2018. Funded BA before interview, all documents were complete, prepared very well for the interview, I prayed too. I wasn’t found wanting in any way. I was convinced I had a wonderful interview because my VO was friendly.. Now am asking, what really went wrong ?
……
…..
VO: that would be all, we would contact you in four weeks time to inform you about the condition of your application. Have a nice day.
Me: thank you you ma.

First week came and went by
Second week followed
Third week too.
On the fourth week, I was filled with joy because to me, nothing will make me not to get an AM
Behold forth week went by, no AM.
I was like : maybe it's because of the public holidays
Fifth week came, I was full of expectation. Days came and went by . yet no AM.
What really went wrong?

My brothers and parents were like: we thought you said you would get a mail in 4weeks time? Then I realized the fire on the mountain.

Sixth week came, I decided to write to the alien office , they replied that my details can’t be found in their database, that I should refer to the embassy.
I wrote to the consulate Lagos, they replied that my application is still being processed.
God what is happening? What is wrong?

Seventh week came, siblings and parents were already getting disappointed, I myself was even getting frustrated.
I wrote to the embassy again, same reply. The week went by. No AM.

"this is no longer ordinary...", I said to myself. fasting became my food, prayer became my water. Tears kept rolling. God what is happening?

8th week came... I made the church my Home. I kept praying for mercy.. I left the church 1:20pm on Tuesday,

by 1:52pm that same day, something slowly bounced into my Email.

Behold the Long awaited AM.
God has shown his mercy to a poor banished sinner like me.
Gott sei dank.


Congrats bro. I did my interview on the 15th March and till now no response from the embassy. Emailed both Lagos embassy and Alien office, I was informed my visa is still under processing from lagos and the Alien office said my data not found too. However, seeing your testimony has given me encourage that mine is on the way and cant wait to share it here. I wish u success.

Nevertheless, AM fit show this week

Villingen is a small town in BW and your school is small school painted with white colour besidr the road.

When is your enrolment deadline?
The admission office can be of aid so mail them now.

Congrats EmmaIK,
Expecting AM for my wife soon. I hope everything goes fast.
Verification was completed on 1st March. The foreigners office contacted me on 6th March (although I already gave them all documents they need). They confirm to me that they have my verification confirmation and everything is fine.
Waiting for the AM

Lammydamsel:
Okay o...

Admission: 24/01/2018

Visa Interview: 31/01/2018

AM mail: 05/03/2018

Visa: 16/03/2018

Ultimately, glory to God for great things he has done.

Ezyp:

If it's for visa interview then it must be HAND WRITTEN ( it's stated clearly on the check list).

ibnkokumo:
Hallo, long time, I've not been active in this thread. So I'm just here to caution those paying huge for sponsorship letter (Verpflicherklärungen)

Having a sponsorship letter isn't an assurance you'll get a Visa. I have two cases of refusal here, they both used sponsorship letter (Verpflicherklärungen).

This friend of mine got her sponsorship letter from a reverend sister and yet, she was refused, I was also informed the reverend sister has a high profile, is a citizen, also a nurse and well connected in Germany.

For your sponsor to be qualified to give you the letter is not the issue sometimes, your relationship with the person also matters, because without strong ties with the reverend sister for example, the Applicant might become a liability, the Allien office considers all these in forming a decision.

Most times, if the person is a relative, it's 50/50 and if it's non relative, it can be 30/70

Also, The German Embassy only have more authority on visiting and tourist visa. Long term stay like family re union and student visa applications approval or rejection is decided directly by the Homeland / Allien office in Germany.

The letter she received states that;

"Your means of subsistence in Germany is not ensured"

Only God knows what the Allien Authority have seen that made them say this.

And God knows best.

Please, find a copy of the full letter below.

Also, you need not to show that you're desperate, I've heard the case of a boy who used two sponsorship letters and he was refused on the basis that he's desperate.

I'd love to suggest that we think well before taking risks that'll later cost us a lot.

I heard having being refused once also has its implications on further application, let's do things right.

Thank you.

ayomeah:


Yes, you can but you have to do a declaration of age from the court alongside. The declaration of age is compulsory if you're using local govt birth cert.

Please, gurus in the house..
I have my student visa interview on the 16th of march ..which is next month and lectures starts by 09 April,2018.
Please I want to know if its possible for me to email the school telling them about how hard it is to book an appointment with the embassy becus of high demand in student application to german school so that they can back track my resumption date or give me a supporting letter so as to tell the consulate....and besides the school enrollment starts on the 9th and 28th of march......
Please I need advice as to wat to do because I learnt the applicant must have up to six weeks left before the lecture begins so as to enable the consulate do every necessary process .............
Please gurus I need advice as to go about it.....
Thanks.

BabaEuro:

Why didn't you book February date? I have been seeing February dates of recent even till yesterday. Just cancel your appointment and rebook February.Another possibility is for you to inform your school to extend your enrollment deadline to April 30th and that embassy requires a minimum of 6 weeks between interview date and enrollment deadline, inform them that your admission letter either came late or the issue with booking in German embassy in Nigeria or both ( do not forget to attach your appointment booking in PDF as proof) . If you go ahead to do your interview on March 21 when your enrollment deadline is April 6th ,the probability of being rejected is close to one. A word is enough for the wise!

SenR:


Am not sure it is possible, because the embassy needs 6 to 8 weeks or even more to conclude on ur student visa application.

That is why the embassy all advice students willing to study in Germany to apply for the student visa on time so it would lead to visa denial.

My advise is for you to defer ur admission to next study session which is september.

But if u still wanna try, wish u best of luck!!

SenR:


There is a checklist for student visa, I would advise you follow the instructions on it careful.

Make copies as instructed and extras just incase, in my own case I made an extra copy each as against the normal two.

It depends on the time the lady is scheduled to have her interview.

If it's 7am, I won't advise her to go too far away from the venue due to the heavy traffic in Lagos. There is a small hotel that is cheap around 8k per night close to Walter Carrington. It's a 10-20mins walk to the embassy or you can just take danfo and stop at Walter Carrington junction.
