Goodday House
Earlier on, i complained about a change in my interview date.
Well that is not all. I just discovered we were instructed to fill our application form online from now on and den print it.
I suspect this change should be for applicants scheduled to hold their interview by august.
For those that have not done their interview and used the previous downloaded application form (like i did),
Kindly recheck your emails if you were affected by the changes and make the necessary corrections.
A friend of mine who booked same day as i did confirmed the change in interview date and application form.

Here is the email i received today:

11) what are you doing currently? If you have a job, state what you do.. If you just finished Secondary School and going for Bachelors Programme then "None" can suffice.. If you finished University, then you can state what you read. Eg if your read engineering, that makes you an engineer..etc
12) write how long your programme will last. From 2015 to..........
13) Let me rephrase that question.. who has been providing your needs and will continue to provide for you even when you are in Germany. Dont put 'self' if you havent worked for a considerable amount of time with evidence that you are financially okay to sustain your self through out your stay in Germany.. I will suggest Parents or any other family member..

I hope this helps..

Quick question; for those resuming sept/oct who have received their student visas, did you pay your full tuition fees (ie for the entire duration of your program) before you were asked to come for your visa? These embassy guys just sent me a mail stating that the aliens authority are requesting for proof that I have transferred the entire course fees so I should send them proof of this payment (PS this is diff from blocked account which I have already sorted out). This is a two-year masters and the school allows for instalmental payments albeit due in specific deadlines. Paying the entire thing go be die o. Is this what everyone has had to do?

How much is your tuition? When was your interview?
This na one chance because you can explain things away to the embassy but to the alien office? I don't know about that.

But here is what you should do. If you don't have all the fundings presently, you can reach your course coordinator and explain your situation to him/her and the financial challenge you will have to overcome paying everything once.
If he/she agrees, she/he can reach the alien office and explain the situation to them to and with her/his authority, they can sort things out. Then the mail of the confirmation will be forwarded to the embassy or sent directly by the alien office to the embassy.
That's about the only way you can go about it now. Try it and let's see.

Yeah bro, I studied EE at Unilag. What of you? See you at the top!
LMUhopeful, so we attended same school here in Naija and be going to Munich. Which set were you in?
*******************************************
Let me use this opportunity to remind people again, IF YOU REALLY WANT TO DO SIDE JOBS WHILE STUDYING IN DEUTSCHLAND, try as much as possible to learn at least the basics of the language because except for some few places and may be luck, your opportunities will be quite limited if you don't speak or understand the basics of the language. I see some places people are going to with hopes of hitting it big in a few months, and I only shudder at the disappointments that may follow. The feeders am getting from people without any language skills especially those backwater cities is not so good.

There are jobs all over the place but the language skills may limit the jobs you can get.
Enroll in the Goethe summer program if you stay in Lagos, its just for a month or less.
I will post the flyer showing the details of the programme if only justwise won't flank it down after the whole stress.

My own suggestion is that you sharpaly mail your program coordinator asking them for any help with extension of enrollment by international office.

As for mailing the embassy let's wait for others to contribute.

All the best bro
