I'm told told that the validity of my blocked account is one year,if no decision is reached for that one year because of the long waiting period how will I communicate to the relevant blocked account agency with a valid proof, a letter from the embassy in that line.

@Floorreach,

Yes they have.They contacted me on the 9th of Oct. and I was asked to make some corrections. I did the corrections and submitted on the 13th of Oct and still awaiting their response.

@ Sid57
pls have you gotten any feedback ?

hi, hope you are good
just to properly get you, you traveled without a job. when you landed in germany was when you secured a role for yourself?
i am a backend software dev, also considering moving to europe

Haliimmaa:
Hey Hey. I've been okay. So the first thing I did was to find my way to the city center and got a number with telekom and paid for a prepaid subscription. I then proceeded to open a Revolut bank account. I looked for appointment dates to register my anmeldung and couldn't find one close to me so I booked an appointment in another district. Went for the appointment and got my anmeldung in under 10 minutes. I recently got a job and realized that the DR Walter's health insurance does not provide you with an SVNR(social security number) so I had to register with a public health insurance(registered with TK) and government office sent me my SVNR. I currently need to switch from the opportunity visa to a Blue card so I'm running around looking for an appointment before my start date which is next week. Anyone who can help should please reach out.

I did not use a blocked account so I can't help with that.

As for accommodation, I had it all sorted out before I even got to Germany. The landlord has to put your name plate on your mailbox so you can get letters like your tax id, SVNR, insurance number, insurance card, deliveries, e.t.c

As for my job search, I was fortunate to get a job with the first company I interviewed with. I'm an iOS developer so the interview was first a HR interview, a 90 minutes live coding session and "meet the team". I got a job in 6 weeks of being here. If I could do it, you can as well.

Let me know if you're curious about anything else

Hello @ Halima
Congratulations can you pls share the job site to search for jobs.

Wow nice 👍🏽🙂

Around late June

Hey guys 👋🏾

I went for my interview, and I just wanted to share my full experience for anyone preparing for theirs.

I arrived at the embassy by 6:30 AM, my appointment printout was stamped 6:33 and my interview was supposed to be scheduled for 7:30 AM but I went in way earlier because I arrived early. I was among the first set of people there, and I was actually the second person the interviewer called in.

A lady attended to me. At first, she seemed a bit uptight, just collecting and checking my documents quietly. But after a little while, she loosened up and became friendlier. She carefully reviewed all my documents, removed what she didn’t need, and basically did all the administrative checks before moving on to the interview questions.

Here’s how the questions went:
1. She started with my education background; when I graduated and when I went for NYSC.
2. She didn’t ask me to “walk through my career” in detail. She only asked for my current role and what my company does.
3. She asked about my family in Germany.
4. She also asked about my travel history, specifically how many times I’ve been to Germany and the purpose of my visits.
5. Then came the popular question: “Why Germany?” I explained my reasons clearly.
6. After that, she asked a very important one: “What if you don’t get a job?” this question had a lot of emphasis, so please, take note.

👉🏾 My advice: When answering this question, don’t just talk about what you’ll do alone. Make sure to end your answer by stating clearly that you will not overstay your visa if you don’t find a job. It’s very important to make that clear. it shows responsibility and respect for immigration rules. That’s my two cents.
7. Another question that stood out was: “What is your future after Germany?” In other words, after you get a job in Germany, what next? What’s your long-term plan for your career and yourself? She emphasized this one too, so it’s worth preparing for.
8. She also asked whether I speak German (Deutschkenntnisse) or if I’m learning it.

Then came the written test section.

Since my academic background isn’t same as my career, she gave me questions related to my academic background but honestly, it’s been a while since I studied that, so I wasn’t confident about the answers. I politely asked if I could take an IT-related test instead, since I currently work as a DA.

She agreed and gave me the IT test. It had 10 questions in total, 5 simple calculation-based questions (which I could handle) and 5 computer science questions that were more theoretical (like operating systems and core computer science concepts). Those ones were a bit outside my area, but I did what I could.

And that was it!

So yeah, that’s my full experience. Wish me luck 🤞🏾.

Hopefully, this helps someone who’s preparing for theirs. Most of what I experienced is similar to what others have shared, but I wanted to highlight the extra questions and the ones with emphasis, especially:
• “What if you don’t get a job?” → Be prepared and always end by saying you won’t overstay your visa.
• “What is your future after Germany?” → Think about your long-term career plans.

Add this to what you’ve already read from others. Every little detail helps.

Please for someone that just wanted to join the waiting list, it has been clear that you may not have your full document until the preliminary review.

What about the information that one will fill? Like Parent information, reference information, type of accomodation, and so on. Could it be also corrected at the preliminary review stage?

Please @helenaaa @Cyberbro and all my bosses here

It’s advisable to have all your documents ready and complete before joining the waitlist except you’re sure to get them within three months of joining to avoid taking you unaware. My two cents

As for document upload, it's very flexible and you can simply upload ur passport where you don't have a document available. You can always edit those details before submitting for preliminary review.

⚠️ But for personal details like your names, passport number, DOB, etc, some of these details may not be editable so you need to at least make sure your personal details are correct from the onset. Even if it's editable, I advise you exercise caution and make sure your data is correct.

Better safe than sorry.

Please I have some questions to ask from my bosses here.

Is it compulsory to use reference details of person who reside in Germany when filling the details?

Also, what is the best thing to fill in the spaces that has the following questions?

Do you intend to retain your permanent residence outside the Federal Republic of Germany?


Do you have health insurance (for a longer stay) for the Federal Republic of Germany?

Intended place of stay in the Federal Republic of Germany (Street, house number, postal code, town/city)

How will you be accommodated - Single room / apartment

Intended length of stay- from (date) - to (date)

I'm confused since the date of arrival is unknown, how can one fill a correct date?

If no, please advice.

As a rule, they don't accept laminated certificates. So try to remove it from the laminates or get a supplementary copy.
