Sharp! This is well detailed boss! Thanks! 🙏🏾

Since there are dates available, I wonder why the waiting period is showing 2-6 months on their portal... Hopefully it won't be that long sha.

It will actually get to one year soon. Many people have been creating accounts on the digital portal even though they're not ready. So the wait time will not reduce unfortunately.

Wow 😮

But the waiting list can't be joined till you've uploaded all necessary documents. So if it's those who aren't ready, that means they're uploading random documents?

Hopefully that won't be the case.

Please what can we upload to join the waiting list? i read on whatsapp group that the sponsor appointment letter can be uploaded for now, is that right? And does it mean we have to wait for 6 months? do you think they might give appointment within the months? pls clarify, Thanks for everything you do here,you are much appreciated @Hannania

Hannania:
23 million naira is not a joke

Of course 23 million naira is not a joke. However, do you have any information that could help?

On a second note, I'm already thinking about printing my account page from Fintiba to submit as my proof of funds in order to get in the queue, hopefully I will block the funds before it gets to my turn. Do you think that's a good idea? Will it affect my application?

Opened up my Expatrio account, awaiting approval but I have already gotten an email for health insurance. I am in the stage of submitting supporting documents.

For School reports, I am thinking primary school testimonial, primary school testimonial and WAEC result.

For University degree does the school certificate suffice or I have to also add a transcript?

Because each tab supports uploading one document, do I merge everything for each tab as one document and upload it? or do I upload one there and the rest to Other Documents tab?

Thank you @ Hannania once again for the update please how do they calculate years of experience. what if you have 3 years break from work will it be added to the years of experience? Thank you

If you're using a point based system, you'll be asked to bring proof of employment from your employer

Merge the documents and upload as a single entity

Goodevening all.

Please how does someone in Germany go about the sponsorship letter. Does the person needs to draft the letter by it self.

So someone in Germany wants to know how to go about

Please I need you guys swift response.

Thank you

Hi Sorry out of curiosity, when you say you are in the stage of submitting supporting documents, does it mean the embassy has contacted you ? Or you are just uploading the documents prior to getting contacted ?

when did you register on the portal. I’m asking because I want to get a rough idea of what the timeline for mine would be. I registered sometime mid February and I’m yet to be contacted.

It's either you present Blocked Account,Declaration of commitment, Job offer or Current Bank Statement. Blocked account is usually asked for study purpose. If you have sufficient balance in your account you are good to go.

What is Declaration of Commitment?

Ask the sponsor to check the ausländerbehörde's portal of his city for steps or he/she can work in and request formal requirements(Usually for smaller cities). The letter is called Declaration of Commitment (Verpflichtungserklärung) and make sure it's for Chancenkarte.

They'll request payslips, house contracts, etc, then carry out a creditworthiness on the sponsor before issuing the letter.

You'll need it to be shipped to Nigeria because you need to submit the original on the day of your interview

@ Hannania Thanks once again please what documents does a skilled worked need ?

hi, did you click the document section? you did not upload any document yet? i think when you register immediately you can upload

Aa skilled applicant, do we also need to prove employment details?

How long would this normally take ?

Yeah I know that. But you are still in the queue at that point waiting for your documents review. I have uploaded everything except the block account proof and heath insurance, I’m waiting to move to the document review stage before I would then do those ones. Atleast that’s what I understand from this thread

The latter. I'm uploading prior to getting contacted. I started the process this week.

I think you have to submit all the mandatory documents before they let you pass the document review stage.

You know the health insurance is on the additional documents part (you can bring it later during the interview) but the proof of financial support document is compulsory.

As I said, depends on your city. Reach out to your sponsor

@ Hannania Thanks once again please what documents does a skilled worked need ?

Go and register and input your details on the score counter. You'll then see all the required documents needed on your portal.

@ Hannania I have checked the digital.diplo and it didn't require employment contract however on the general website for a skilled worker you requirement
statement from employer
Work contract
Payslip
Motivation Letter

Pls which should I go with

Thank you so much for all your help

Forget the general website. Upload only the documents on the digital portal. Before your interview, they'll create a unique checklist of documents for you to bring along on the interview day

Can I contact you for more enquiries

Hello,
I have the German opportunitycard, took me about 4 months to process because it took ZAB 3 months to confirm my degree certificate.
PS.
I did mine outside Nigeria

someone said if you haven't upload block account you are not yet on the waiting queue

This gets more confusing, from Hannania post I read earlier, what I got from it was that, you can upload the document for now, but the embassy would have to contact you for when it gets to your turn for document review

You do this to beat time. This way you join the waiting list. When they ask you to send for preliminary review, you have to add your BA or SL else they won't check other documents

do you mean we are automatically on the waiting queue if you uploaded some documents even without the Sponsorship letter or blocked account? i do not think so, someone posted on WhatsApp group, she uploaded her SL, then the website says you are now in the waiting queue, without that if you uploaded other documents i think you are not in the queue yet, i stand to be corrected, thou under the documents section i saw discard application request, does that mean someone is in their waiting list? @Hannania

Stop all your assumptions and apply. It's not a debate, you'll see it for yourself.

You're actually correct. It's when you're done uploading the documents that you officially join the waiting list.

While you're still uploading, you'll be able to see the current waiting time, but you won't be part of the list until you're done uploading.

That was why I felt it's actually wrong to blame the waiting period on Nigerians "collecting space" cos you cannot really join the waiting list till you're done uploading all necessary documents.
