Can someone kindly tell me how to start this whole process. I want to travel to Germany with my family ! Any advice and website on how to start and apply for visa ? Can I do this on my own or use an agent! Thanks so much. I would be reading comments and advices

If your planned trip is for studies,first of all,you need to search for schools that are offering the course you want to study and apply.
Most of them use the general admission application body in Germany called uni-assist while few don't.
You can travel with your family,but,i don't know any further details about that.You can call the consulate for clarity.
Below is a link for you to know everything about visa,appointment booking and applications.
Don't use any agent,i repeat,don't.
This requires your time,energy and resources.You can do it on your own as long as you stay updated.
All the best.

I already opened one since last year April but the passport I used has expired which I have since renewed. Some of the information I used back then need to be updated

Guys, No visum testimonies in a while. what is happening?

Let us also have some faith for AD, I got a date for 12/12/2021 two weeks ago but i cancelled for obvious reasons.
I applied under CatB on the 3rd of April though I've been on this journey for a while.

Halo good evening
Can someone please clarify something for me ?

I graduated recently with a 2.1 which from what I can deduce falls under category B.

My question now is , I have a family member (sponsor) there in Deutschland who doesn’t know how the whole process works.
So I’m thinking is there anyway I can move down there legally and apply to a school when I get there ? Or have faith And keep applying from Nigeria.

You can go to Germany with visiting or tourist visa,but,you're expected to go back after 3 months and you're not allowed to work or seek for an admission with it.
Even if you decide to hide after it's expiration,you've entered illegal mode.It might take you years for you to stand on your feet,if at all you escape deportation.
Again,the German consulate,Lagos,rarely give visiting visas to Nigerian youths,because they know most of them don't return back.
Your type of job or business,monthly earnings/incomes,travel exposure,travel motive,ties both home and abroad must be formidable before you can secure the visa.
I'll advice you do everything legally possible to move to Germany via studies.
In conclusion,not everyone who's a legal German resident or citizen can sponsor you.
If the income of your sponsor isn't at the level required by the immigration office of his resident city,after tax and other expenses,he/she can't sponsor you.

You shouldn't have cancelled. Whatever issue you might be facing, you can always explain to them when you go for your interview.

Okay thanks.
You suggest I go via study route , that means apply from Nigeria.


My sponsor is well to do, so can an invitation letter from my sponsor hasten up the process?

Thanks

I was at the embassy in late October and there was at least one Bsc applicant for visa interview.

Msc applicants are far more than BSc applicants. Maybe that's why ADs for Bsc seem to be scarce on this thread.


Exactly. Most MSc candidates are in the same boat with BSc candidates, just that they're more in number. Appointments will reach us all, so no need to fuss. Some people didn't didn't have to wait for 12 months, for category B.

Yeah,apply from Nigeria or if you have someone in Benin Republic or Ghana,you can go for their resident permit and apply from there.
Interview invitation solely depends on the German consulate,Lagos and not on any invitation letter from your sponsor.
You don't even need any invitation letter,rather formal obligation or official German declaration of sponsorship.
You have to be sure you've gotten visa application appointment at the consulate before processing it,because it expires after 6 months.

It depends on your departure date.
You can have your Visum at minimum 7 days after submitting your passport for visa stamping.
