Please what if SL came through while waiting to block the account?
Then you upload it instead of BA before sending for preliminary review.

Seems expensive when I checked
way cheaper compared to learning in Germany. Here, intensive A1 to B1 cost €800 with Geothe. That's Ben a discount

@Hannania
Iits like u skipped a question if mine earlier about which certs and transcripts I need to submit for DAB, Is it both HND and ND or just HND alone?
you need your certificate and transcript. They might request for more documents when they start processing your application.

I am trying to apply for Statement of Comparability, but I am asked to provide Employment contract or written confirmation of employment from your future employer in Germany.

I think only your HND is sufficient, but you can check DAB for further confirmation.
It's was not specified on DAB

The years of experience is needed if you're using a point based system. So look at the anabin database and confirm that your course is there. If it is, just write a solid CV and attach to your profile. They just wanna see a recognised degree.

Though you can only get a blue card if you have 3 years of experience in IT if your degree is not IT related. Else, the blue card is offered for a job in your field

So what you'll get in Germany is a normal work visa since you don't have the required experience. Fear not, you can get Permanent residence in 33 months if you have B1 German. This will ideally be 21 months if you have a blue card

Re: Migrating To Germany For Free : The Chancekarte Discussions by Diceman8: 6:44pm On Jul 24, 2025
Hi guys please what date are we on now? For the interview and the preliminary review. Last we heard for preliminary review was march 20th and that was since july 7th so over two weeks ago
Re: Migrating To Germany For Free : The Chancekarte Discussions by ImaobongAfia: 7:04pm On Jul 24, 2025
Hello everyone.
Please I checked my university on anabin and it’s H+ and my degree is also listed

However my degree in mass comm is listed as a B.Sc in Germany while it’s a B.A in Nigeria.

Please do I still need to pay for ZAB or can I use it like that
Re: Migrating To Germany For Free : The Chancekarte Discussions by victorygiven: 11:37pm On Jul 24, 2025
Now that everyone going for interview will write short tests, pls anyone who has gone for interview should post all questions here so everyone can prepare, its same as student visa questions so anyone who can get it from the study group can post here ,goodluck to everyone.
Re: Migrating To Germany For Free : The Chancekarte Discussions by Diceman8: 1:12pm On Jul 25, 2025

Once your ZAB arrives, all you need is SL/BA to qualify as a skilled worker. If your degree is on Anabin, you don't need ZAB
Does this mean that once your degree is on Annabin OR with your ZAB confirmation, you don't need IELTS?

Yes, you don't. I didn't submit neither of language test, CV, or motivational letter. Just the comporsory school certificates, birth certificate, indigene letter, Anabin screenshots then my BA and health insurance. My visa was issued in less than 2 weeks. That's the advantage of skilled worker option.

Apply for the visa while simultaneously submitting your ZAB application for comparability. The consulate seems to be getting strict, so you need to make sure you tick all boxes just incase they ask

It's getting really slow. I was asked to submit on 7th July and they haven't finished their preliminary review till date. It's frustrating

Well its probably getting slow as expected because of student visa, german government gets very busy around this time as summer is ending and new semester is starting around september, new international students entering the country etc. Its hectic.

May i ask when did you join the waiting list?

Bro thank you for your good work here. I heard approving the request to sponsor people in Germany is quite challenging. Is that true? I thought there are certain criteria that clearly you know if you qualify or not. One person painted it like it's the discretion of the consular. How true is this?

I don't understand your question

What I meant is that someone stated that SL is not well approved like block account. He said it is not easy as been paraded that for SL to scale through, the guarantor must prove beyond reasonable doubt and it will be at the discretion of the consular.

I felt it should not be so cos those that have the requirement to sponsor people should know they're qualified to do so.

That person is giving you evening newspaper stories. I'm sure the person thinks SL in Germany works like proof of sponsorship for UK, US and Canada.

When your sponsor applies for SL, the ausländerbehörde(immigration office of the resident's city) requests for 6 months payslip, house contract(to make sure he/she can accommodate you), and other minor documents depending on the city. They then check the creditworthiness of the sponsor based on the minimum income and house space. As long as the sponsor meets the requirements clearly stated by the city, the sponsorship letter is issued. It's literally black and white. No grey areas.

The consulate were you will apply for your visa has no preference for BA or SL. Both serve the same purpose and legally backed by law. Avoid that person because he/she likely has other bad advises in store for you, evidenced by the fact they're clearly clueless.

Hi Hannania, I'm a newly graduated doctor currently about do his internship and I looking at the opportunity card after my internship but I have no idea if my points will be enough

is there a way to figure this out?

I've got 5 years of tech experience too but without a CS degree, I don't know if it can be relevant in my application

Also, is the Visa wait time the same as Student Visa?

I don't mind any of them... I'm currently open to any

I'm trying to use the points calculator and I'm stuck at "if my degree is fully recognised in Germany". Do you know if an MBBS degree from a federal school is?

to add? I already checked Anabin and its there(H+)

I'm new to this so forgive the dumb questions and fumblings

Since you've not made up your mind, sorry I can't be of help. Maybe someone else will assist you. Clarity is of the essence.

Since your school is recognized, go back to Anabin and check if your degree (MBBS) is listed.

It is listed but no classification just a list of "lending institutions" which my school is one of them
