Good afternoon house...

Please help me out. I have a sponsor who is resident in stuttgart. My school is in Hanover. Is he qualified to issue a letter of sponsorship considering the distance between both states?

Thanks bosses.

Eke40seven:
Distance is not in anyway a determinant for issuing the sponsorship letter but your sponsor's financial status.

I'm aiite.. U?

Light007:
I am good bruv. I am using a sponsorship letter and I have yet to receive the said letter. So I haven't booked for an appointment. Would do so once the letter gets to me.

Obiwannn:
Don't forget to tell the house how it went, and what it entailed. I trust you have the Visa already.

OK,

So first of all I am not used to Lagos at all. So I was a bit frustrated this morning.

Anyhow, I get to the embassy after trekking for 5 minutes (jjc behavior). And then I have to wait at the gate because some man caused an issue with his parked car. After they are done I finally get cleared by the one you guys call 'the fair Igbo man' who makes an error and ends up sending me to the wrong place. He attaches a paper to my appointment letter (ie email printout) saying i was for short term visa. I tried explaining but he refused to listen to me.

After the security check I get ushered once again no one listens and I end up inside the main building with other short term visa applicants. After waiting for an hour plus I get to see an interviewer who finally listens to me and sends me to the right place (back at the entrance).

I was confused and hungry (I still am Sha) tired. Luckily I was the only other (I think) student visa applicant so in three minutes I was called to start.
I was interviewed by what you guys have dubbed 'the Chinese looking woman' (nothing Chinese about her.)
She was really nice and understood I was disgruntled and confused so she took her time with me. The other lady 'the old mean one' wasn't around. (Yay!!!!)
Anyhow so she asks for my original documents then tells me to arrange the copies in two piles. I believe it is best to do this before you get there so you save time. (Have 3 sets of documents, the originals and two photocopies).

So to the interview-she asked me random questions at a point I even felt she wasn't listening to me but mind you she is typing your answers WORD FOR WORD.
So basically I was asked (in no particular order)
-What are you going for in Germany?
-Masters or Bsc?
-What did you study in undergrad?
-Why?
-What are you studying for masters?
-What are you going to do after studying?
-Does Germany have a President?
-Who?
-Who is the Chancellor?
-What do you know about Germany?
-Population?
-How many states, name them
-What do you know about Hamburg?
-Population?
-Where is your school?
-What is the capital city in the state you are going to?
-Who is your sponsor?
-What is his monthly/annual income?
-Germany's neighboring countries, name them.
-How many semesters is your course?
-Tell me ALL your courses (know this in your head biko).
-Where are you going to stay?
-What have you done to prepare yourself for studying in Germany?
-What is the name of your Uni?
-What did you submitt for your application?
-How did you submit the application?
-Are you married?
-Do you have children?

So yeah that was it, after that she told me to sit down and wait for my passport. I got it stamped and had the D written on it too and was told they would contact me by email.

PS: feel free to wear jeans.
Please do not be even one minute late, be there at least 30minutes before your appointment time.
The Igbo dude said he isn't going to play with anyone tomorrow/next week.

Hope it helps someone

adenjnr .. Greetings to you. Pls I'm trying to get student accommodation. Was told that if I apply I would be on waiting list studentenwerk hannover.
Pls how can I get accommodation.
I need your general advice pls

adenjnr:
You will definitely get an accommodation with the Studentenwerk if you apply early enough, its best to stay in the student dorms for a start and if its not ok by you, then you can take your time to look for another accommodation that suit you.

Great. Wish you the best. I had my interview a week ago albeit going for a 3-month research stay. I was told i will be contacted through mail. Waiting anxiously. Scheduled to travel by July. You got any mail yet? You have an idea how long it will take to get a response/mail? please keep me posted. I'd appreciate. thanks

Ahbbiey:
Err, I just had my interview a couple of hours ago I doubt and would be unhappy if I received an email by now.

I have no idea how long it will take, the embassy does say it takes between 6-8werks for them to make their decision, I've heard some people getting responses a month later though.

uchezdedon:
Like how long did the interview took

twinkle1:
Pls tell your uncle to speed up the process.
Do you leibniz universität hannover enrolment deadline.?

PLEASE HOUSE HELP OUT...

CAN I TENDER A SPONSORSHIP LETTER AT THE VISA INTERVIEW AFTER USING A BLOCKED ACCOUNT SLIP IN BOOKING AN APPOINTMENT?

THIS IS BECAUSE MY SPONSORSHIP LETTER MIGHT NOT BE READY TILL NEXTWEEK AND TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE.

THANKS PEOPLE.
