A CHINESE proverb says if you have benefited from something then you owe a moral obligation to give back to the people that helped you.

Painpill:
Interview was earlier in the week. My transcript.

 Went in 6:30am. Did my biometrics, paid visa fee, submited my docs and my file was created and visa receipt given to me. I wrote my SOP in 10mins, submitted and waited for my interview. After attending to those for DB opening et al my interview started around 11/12pm.

-Do you speak deutsch?
-Where did you learn?
-To what level?
-Why Germany? 
-Why do you wana study this course?
-Why not in the  UK or US?
-How did you get to know about the school n course?
-How did you apply?
-How much did you pay to uniassist? 
-What docs did you submit during application? 
-What response did you get after application?
-Plans after studies? 
-Timeline from primary school till date.
-Your course structure. 
-All modules from 1st-4th semester. 
-Means of sponsorship?
-Parents occupation?
-Name of company?
-Bsc project topic? (And she googled it n blew me questions related to it)
-List textbooks you used during your Bachelors (Ikr? She typed all)
-Tell me more about your intended course of study (and she was googling n asking me questions related)
-Got family in Germany? 
-Friends? 
-Name of course coordinator? 
-Ever applied for a German or schengen visa?
-Tell me bout your city?
-Name of your mayor? 
-Spell it?
-Population of your city, state,  n germany? 
-Kinda system of government practised in Germany? 
-Name of president & chancellor & their parties? 
-Name all German states?
-Neighbouring countries? 
-How have you been preparing for your stay in Germany?
-Made accommodation arrangements? 
Ayt, you'll be contacted via e-mail. Byee.(gave me back my passport)

My tips: -Practice writing your SOP in 10mins before your interview.
-Chow before going cos the worms in your tummy will gain free entry visa to all parts of your Gastrointestinal tract before you even get to talk to the VO. You can also say you don't have your prepaid courier envelope and you'll be asked to go get it after writing your SOP. Then you can use that opportunity to go eat/drink something. Won't be fun watching those security guys pulling out plates from the microwave and 1-litre sprite bottles by 11am while you wait for your interview with growling stomach. 
-You might also be given a written test as the dude before me got softened with some math questions.

Ciao.

Hi folks. I want to ask this...how does one get their documents back after sending to uni assist ? If you didn't get admission that is.
You are not supposed to send your original documents, just the certified copies. you can certify at the embassy or at the court.

Re: General German Visa Enquiries Part 3 by Monadikos: 3:06pm On Apr 13, 2017
Hello All, I wanted to get my visa and be sure before putting this out there. You do not have to get a travel insurance from an insurance company here in Nigeria before you get your visa. You need an insurance from an insurance provider in Germany before you can enroll, same insurance is acceptable by the embassy here in Nigeria. All you have to do is to contact which ever company you want to use over there via email and explain what you need, they will send the forms to you via email, which you fill out and send back, after a day or two they will will send an insurance confirmation to you. This confirmation is accepted by the embassy here. For payments, you can fill your blocked account details and give them a debit instruction or like me you can wait till you get to Germany before paying. I used a sponsorship letter so I do not have an account yet and payment is through direct debit, so when I get to Germany, I will open an account and give them the debit instruction. Also, it might be better to contact you school and ask if they have a preferred insurance company.

For your prepaid envelop and with complaints about DHL, i didn't really pay any attention to the one I got since it was for a local transaction but checking now I see it is Red Star Express. I dropped my passport on the 11th, my visa was issued on the 12th as written on the passport and they brought my package today around 10am, so i guess it is preferable to the 1 week wait of DHL.

Hi guys!

If you are leaving Motherland soon, I have some tips for you:

Make sure your 23kg bags are what you can carry easily, either get 2 bags with roller or don't pack too much.

If are landing in Frankfurt you need coins to pay for trolley to push your heavy baggage, if you see anyone lying around you can use cheesy

If you did not book Flixbus from Nigeria
* There's a travel travel agency stand on exit 8 (they charged me €5 for booking)
* You can also pay the driver with cash but it must be exact fare hence split the Euro you travelling with from Nigeria or buy something; I missed a bus cos of change.

Have your Admission letter and blocked account printout handy, in my case, it was requested during Pre-boading in Dubai and at the PoE in Frankfurt.

To all the visa hopefuls the Merciful God will grant your heart desires. All the best!

Ciao cheesy
