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

CornOak:
Attach a screenshot.

CornOak:
Clearly, both your degree and institution are recognized. Therefore, you don't need to use ZAB.

Donpre:
Thank you so much

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.

This "make it in Germany" webinar stated that one can apply for 6 months and in that case 6 months block funds should be calculated for it.

I don't know why their missions here in Nigeria are so stubborn on 1 year.

Hello Hannania,

My friend sent this link https://service2.diplo.de/rktermin/extern/appointment_showMonth.do?locationCode=lago&realmId=1298&categoryId=3101&dateStr=19.08.2025 to me yesterday to book my appointment. He said the embassy updated their website hence the delay in inviting people. Don’t know how true it is but I checked and saw the Chancenkarte option and selected it and booked for early August. The embassy sent me a confirmation email.

I joined early May but haven’t gotten to the preliminary stage yet. Should I still proceed to the interview? I have every other requirements. Also, if I have a Zab, what other documents should I take to the interview? My friend wants to get me a 3 months health insurance. Would that be accepted? Can I decide when to fly? Will 2026 January be considered too late? I need your urgent response and advice.

Hannania:
They need to know you're still interested in the application. This is an automated feature to delete inactive accounts after 60 days.

Just login to your account and that is it.

Hi, will this work for someone that studied Bsc Hon computer science, network and cybersecurity in the UK and still living in the UK or I have apply from Nigeria?

Thanks bro

Hannania:
As long as you have a residence permit in the UK, you're good to go. Please think twice before relocating to Germany if you don't have atleast B1 level of German. The market has changed dramatically even for IT jobs, so unless you have a clear roadmap to land something, your English speaking capability gives you more chance in the UK.

I joined the waiting list March 28th. It was showing 1-2weeks wait period as at two weeks. But it changed back to 2-8weeks yesterday.

Zinoewoma:
Hi guys, did anyone do a written test for the Chancekarte?

Diceman8:
As far as ive heard theyre still around march 21st. The last date they called for preliminary review. We are cooked theyre too slow now. April is looking like next year now😭

victorygiven:

Sharpyyyyyyyyy:
You just keep saying this, where is the evidence. Nothing to back up this claim, so pls calm down.

Hello Hannania,

Thanks for your informative and selfless support.

Age declaration: There are only 2 options for those Born before 1992:
1. certified copy of the local birth register extract based on the first registration
2. affidavit of parent/head family

what if you have only one aged illiterate parent (without an ID card) alive. Will they accept affidavit with thumbprint?
Better can't NPC Birth Attestation serve in place of any of the 2 options above?
