Re: General German Visa Enquiries Part 3 by tomshare16: 3:43pm On Dec 20, 2016
im new here.. i realised many talking about blocked account. here in ghana, you only open a blocked account when you receive your visa.

but i have a question. i applied to a language school to study german in berlin. my plan is to complete the 7month language study in berlin and then apply for studienkolleg at HTW after... i have paid fees and received the certificate from the language school. i have attended my visa interview three weeks ago. it went well. they kept my passport... but all the lady said was "you will hear from us", without saying anything about when to expect a reply. my problem is, im to start the language studies on 9th January. do you guys think it is advisable to contact the embassy or should i just postpone the class?? (the form says 8wks minimum though)

Got admission into computational (electrical) engineering Msc Uni Rostock since last year and defiled it to April 2017... Got an email from the admission lady that my admission letter has been sent via post... But I requested for soft copy via email but she declined.. Did they send you your admissions letter through email?
what documents did you attach in the post mail?

well I can't really say because it's in Ghana, but here in Nigeria there is 99.9 % chance you would be denied visa base on language study, cause the embassy would referred you to goethe institute, but I still think it will save you a lot of stress if you contact them though

If the program is starting by January 9th and they are yet to contact you by now, even if they will give you the visa, you will miss a lot of classes which will not augur well for the course as a whole. Because in Ghana, they will tell you to go ahead with the funding of your account once they are sure that the application will be successful weeks after your intwrview. Going by your submission, it seems you have not open the block account at all which on it's own will take 3-4 weeks and later funding of the account. German Visa takes more time in Ghana(8 weeks) than in Nigeria; so the 3 weeks is too early to trouble them even in Nigeria not to talk of in Ghana where it takes more time. Be patient a little and carry the language school along stage by stage. Like the brother above has rightly said, the chance is slim if it is Nigeria but the case might be different in Ghana. Shalom

There is no difference between the 100 LVL option and the studienkolleg in terms of Visa or application or anything.The only two advantages with the studienkolleg is that it helps you learn german in an academic environment and it also helps you to adapt to the german system of education which is quite different from the laid-back cookie cutter shit in Nigeria.

In my opinion studienkolleg is for you,If your language level is below C1 and your university in germany doesn't have the language programme e.g like the bridge to studies programme BTU cottbus offers,in which you are taught the language for a full academic year before proceeding with your desired course .

It's not really compulsory that you follow the studienkolleg route because i heard that it can be quite challenging(based on other people's experiences anyway i haven't been there) and getting admission into one them is another difficult task on it's own.Anyway if you feel that you can cope with all these then go ahead but if not just get your 100lvl certificate and C1 from geothe and you'll be okay.

If you have further partaining studies in germany always feel free to contact the international department of the university you are considering.

Yeah. That is what I mean and also the norm in Ghana unlike here in Nigeria which is why the process is faster here than there. They will only ask you to do that like weeks after your interview which is a pointer that your application will be successful once they ask you to go ahead with the opening of the account. Shalom

Bro please I need some guidance with respect to the blocked account.

My FAM cannot afford that lump sum due to the exchange; but we have friends in Germany who can write a letter of sponsorship plus my guardian is a well traveled prof & know there.

Do you think this will affect my chances at getting the visa?
How? its an alternative to the blocked account. Just know your sponsor well, dazorl.

The thing is my 100 level was in 2008...that's a long time & might affect my admission chances.

Also my proficiency is at a1 but I don't want to miss the next academic year. Going by Goethe timetable, attaining c1 will be in 2018.

So I guess studienkollege is my best bet for now.

Don't patronize the people standing outside looking for customers, you will pay 4 times the normal amount. There sure two sets of organisation you can meet at Ikeja high court are, the lawyers with shops opposite the High court compund (Notary Public) or the Notary Public in the court itself (The Notary department). Walk right into the court and ask any staff or responsible looking person there for the Notary public department. Things might have changed though.

Thanks.

That is not a problem. I worked on an application this just concluded winter semester with the 100L transcript from 2007, and he got admission to nearly all the schools applied to. Just look at the best way to detailed what you have been doing since then till now on your CV, application and finally at the embassy. Write IELTS exam too to increase your chances and you are good to go. Shalom

Good morning house.

I received a mail from the German Consulate Lagos asking me to send them my passport and a health insurance letter for six months and to indicate my travel date, via courier service or in person and submit them at the gate of the Consulate General Lagos.

My questions are:

1. Is it safe to send these docs via courier service to the Consulate, considering the cost and risk of travelling to Lagos from ENUGU and back during this season only to submit the doc at the gate of the Consulate General?

2. How will they get back to me and how long does it take to get a feedback from the Consulate from when they received the documents (passport and health insurance letter)?

3. As stated in the mail " please indicate your travel dates". Am I to just write a letter indicating my travel date or what?


Please those that have gone through the process should help me out with better suggestions and advice.

God bless you

1. It is safe. Use better courier service like DHL or FedEx . You should be able to track it and embassy too will likely send an acknoledge mail to you when they receive it; just that , I don't think they do that all the time.

2.They will get back to you through the courier envelope you submitted during the interview. They will post your visa and all your original documents to the address stipulated on the self addressed courier envelope.

3. It will be stated on your insurance and at the same time you will write a letter to that effect. Shalom
