peruziii:
bros then you do not have a problem you can redraw, as they will only verify the authenticity of your document . they have no business checking your balance even the bank will not tell them as that is confidential. they will only verify the genuity of what you submitted hope this has finally answered your question?
if he withdraws before getting the statement, would it not affect him as the amount would be shown to have been withdrawn from the account?

peruziii:
you are correct usa issues visa base on credibility interview and do not care about document as they know document can be forge. so the consular uses their discretion. but uk and most schengen countries verifies. uk does more intense verification as they have a verification unit in their embassy which work is to verify document .

Can someone please answer this question I asked earlier?
Nathan2222:
This is specifically for those who are applying, have applied for or have done a bachelor's course and a studienkolleg, how did you get admission?

What I mean is that to get admitted into a German university, you need an abitur equivalent degree and WASSCE isn't but you can still apply.

However, (*) you need to do enroll in a studienkolleg but to do that, you have to have admission from the university & pass an entrance test given only in Germany and you can't go to Germany for a studienkolleg without a student visa and to get a student visa, you need an admission letter and ... it goes back to (*).

So was your admission letter a conditional letter stating that you have to pass the studienkolleg or what?

Thanks.

And to add, have any of you received a conditional admission letter for anything?

stoicism:



I got an email from unibremen stating that I have an offer of admission but the prob is my address. The address they have with them is all correct except that it shows Germany instead of Nigeria. I have given them my correct address, I also asked them to send me a PDF file but I am yet to get a reply.....please did u receive a PDF file or the hard copy and which strike are u talking about ?

yea, it was a PDF file, congrats on ur offer. I was talking about the German post office strike which has been resolved now...Once you have corrected the address they will send you a scanned copy of the admission letter and post to your address as well. contact your dept as well not the master@unibremen, my offer letter was sent to me by the course coordinator (PDF) and he explained the cause of the delay. You can as well call them through phone, they will surely attend to you. hope this helps.

@OlaChi; Why don't you check the application portals of the schools you sent your application documents to? Enter your username and password, It's always easier to track the progress of your application via the schools application/admission portals, except the university doesn't have one.

Yes they don't have one

dont open the blocked acct yet, wait until you see the outcome of the scholarship and how much it is worth it may be enough to take care of you and your baby.

Hello Nlanders,
I just got admitted into university of saarland msc bioinformatics.Though am still waiting for their decision regarding scholarship which will be available by july ending.I need to open a block acct for my baby which I understand is 4000euro.I will lik to ask if I can proceed with the acct opening?
Pls is there anybody going to saarland or is there already.
Why not start your baby process and your own at the same time, are you sure that you will get the scholarship, if you are sure you can proceed with your baby own, is the money not supposed to be in the same account eg 7080 your own and 4000 your baby own.

WAIT OOOOOO! YOU ARE ON POINT SHA! MY SCHOOL RECOGNIZES MAWISTA AS A PRIVATE HEALTH INSURANCE. BUT E BE LIKE EVERY BODY DEY USUALLY DO PUBLIC HEALTH INSURANCE WHICH IS USUALLY MORE EXPENSIVE.
YOU GUYS HOW FAR? WHICH WAY?
WHAT 'S THE WAY FORWARD ON TO THIS HEALTH INSURANCE STUFF.

PRIVATE OR PUBLIC??

ONTO WHICH PRIVATE NA AROUND £33 AND PUBLIC NA AT LEAST £80 ON THE REG.

ADVICE PLS.

My DEPARTMENT SECRETARY SENT ME A MAIL Saying THEY WORK WITH TK HEALTH INSURANCE SHA. SHE EVEN SENT THE APPLICATION FORMS FOR TK INSURANCE FEW DAYS AGO . TK INSURANCE NA £81.31 PER MONTH SHA.. SHE SAID I CAN REGISTER HERE IN NIGERIA BY SCANNING AND SENDING THE APPLICATION FORMS TO TK INSURANCE. I CONFIRMED THAT.

It depends on your health status even though your school will always advice you to take up the public insurance. The only clear difference between Public and Private Health Insurance in Germany is that you do not pay a dine when you visit the Doctor or Hospital when you take up a Public Health Insurance while you pay 1st and the insurance repays you in the case of Private.

Personally, i use Private Mawista to be precise and i never even couch for Deutschland (I know myself that the only sickness i do have in Naija is malaria and no mosquito to bite me here in Deutschland but you never can tell). If you do not fall sick regularly and seriously abeg take the Private otherwise, take the Public.

Hello, i'm new to this forum and i've read some past pages. I'm planning on applying for masters against next year winter. Finished service in June 2014.

My major concern is how to go with a spouse and the amount needed in the blocked account. Also, is it advisable to apply for both of us by march when the admission would come out or I should apply for myself alone? This is because my wedding would be coming up by August 2016 and there's no tie to prove the relationship till then. Or should I go ahead with my own application and process for my spouse after the wedding. I will appreciate your responses. Thanks

I do not see this as a problem
1stly, you need 8k for yourself and 4k for your spouse (another 4k for a child.... if you have one)

2ndly, you can do a court marriage now, collect the certificate and pictures or pictures from your introduction (if you have done one). You can also collect your call log from your network provider, different pictures you guys have snapped together (birthday pics, occassions you attended together) depending on how long you guys have been together (the longer the better)

Lastly, If you have the money (12k) and the proof, its better you process the two together because if you process yours 1st, Family Reunion Visa takes up to 9months sometimes.

U can do ur return for next yr. WHo knows u might need to enter naija. U have nothing to loose except small money. Still i really doubt anybody will get ticket of 120 dis yr. If dollar no drop u cant get 120. Unless u use all dos arab airlines. And d prob with dat is baggage allowance. Which is just 30kg. Apart from d arab ones iberia and turkish are d cheapest. My advice to anybody here ia DONT FLY ANY AFRICAN AIRLINE. U might regret it. Very unreliable. Dont be decieved by d costs.

My advise to everyone includin Takeastep...quitely go for public Insurance baba...if u re under 30 u will contribute abt 81.50euros a mth...the advantages re far more than private insurance...

Disadvantages of Private Insurance...

1.if you visit the hospital..u get to pay ur bill fitst and then get partial refund from ur insurance coy...very tricky and the health care cost is high..a friend of mine once vsiited a Dr. And complained of abdominal pains only for the doc to just examine him, gave him pain relievers and then referred him to the general hospital again nothin was diagnosed and he was asked to take same drugs he received from the former doc....and my friend recieved abt 120euros for the first doc( Dr.Pain .....) and abt 140 for the second one...He had to pay and then file a claim with his insurance company..save urself this headache...yes pple will argue that Nigerians don't fall ill yes I agree I barely visit the clinic ( except when I ve "wicklo" caused by bittin my nails out of boredom or being tensed..u wont believe..I had to do an Xray and a minor sugery for that , If I was usin a private Insurance coy I would ve been done with financially cos I did same minor surgery twice within 6mths.. ) ....to be on the safer side just go with the govt insurance .

2. Some employers will not employ u with private insurance ( e.g Amazon)..they will ask u to get a new insurance contract before u get the job and they will pay for it...

3.In some uni...e.g Bochum and Bonn Rhein seig or so ...they prefer and encourage student to use govt insurance ...Aok..Tk..etc.

4.Dependin on ur job contract..at times u can file for payment of sick leave from Ur Krankenkasse (health Insurance coy) ..well I really dont know hw this works and if its applicable to students...I guess it will be after 6weeks of sick leave the krankenkasse will step in and pay for sick leave..( Prolong illness)..well I dont wish this for anyone..but again we live in a world when nothing is certain.

Disadvantage of Govt Insurance....

Cost...the difference is abt 40 euros a mth....

Think and choose wisely

All the best pple.

Modified...Emirates airline use to ve cheap flights then...U can also check Airmaroc or use opodo.com to check for cheap flights......
