Greetings everyone. Just a heads-up: there are new changes to the immigration law that came into effect yesterday, and there are many more that will go into effect in 2024. I know the situation at the Embassy is not desirable; however, this might also help your planning during and after your studies when you finally get in. Also, it is possible to move from your study to full-time work, most notably in IT, if you already have a degree in Nigeria. There are many courses on Udemy and other platforms which can be helpful.

Most importantly, if you are coming in for an MSc course, make use of the delay at the Embassy to be proficient in skills that are related to your interest and don't forget the language as well. Don't be surprised that you might get a full-time job before you graduate if you have the necessary skills and requirements. I wish you all the best in this journey, even though it is cumbersome. Shalom

My interview was on the 4th of August, Which is almost 2 months and 3 weeks, getting to 3 months now, but I have not receive any response. I emailed the consulate, but no response from them. I also emailed the Federal Office of Administration responsible for handling visa application on three different occasions. The first responses I got was “ Your digital visa request has been transmitted on 06.09.2023

The responsible immigration office (Ausländerbehörde) is the city council of Karlsruhe.

We have not yet received the physical documents of your visa application.

We will forward your papers to the immigration office immidiately after their arrival.”

Then after a week, I emailed again, then got this response
“ The responsible immigration office (Ausländerbehörde) is the city council of Karlsruhe.

The original documents have been sent to the responsible immigration office on 20.09.2023

The visa application will be processed there.

If you have any questions regarding the current processing status, please contact the
immigration office.”

Then after waiting and emailing again I got this
“ your visa application is still in progress at immigration office (Ausländerbehörde) in city council of Karlsruhe.

We have no information about the current processing status or processing duration at immigration office.

For further information please contact immigration office (Ausländerbehörde).”

I am confused on what to do next, any help or advice will be appreciated and what’s the possibility of my visa being approved.

What's the new changes in the immigration law?

Keepuplive:


Nothing new here, once it comes to work during and after your studies that’s sure for you. The only issue is the language which I encourage anyone with long time visa to any EU state to learn.

Kingju:


Thank You so Much, I've applied. One More Please, Do you advice I apply to schools now abi I should wait against next year, considering the fact that I just applied.

myrealjay:
Looks like the German consulate has removed the one year wait for student VISA, I can see appointment date at the page right now. Am I on the wrong page? https://service2.diplo.de/rktermin/extern/choose_category.do?locationCode=lago&realmId=695&categoryId=1157

Hannania:
If you belong to CAT A, you definitely won't get a date until 2025(Honestly isn't worth it). So you can chill and apply for Winter 2024 and possibly you get the German scholarship and get to be CAT A.

Germany 🇩🇪 waiting to deport 14,000 Nigerians

I hope this works out for our collective good

I think at this point, I will have to cancel the visa application and have them return my original documents. Who holds someone document for 3 months plus with no response at all. This is out of place. Canada visa is 6 month’s processing time, but you don’t hand in your original. If Germany doesn’t want Nigerians it should be made known to us.
