Part 2

Continued from here: https://www.nairaland.com/3052025/general-german-visa-enquiries-part/358


So, the hustle continued and we left off from where we started. It was in the early month of January when the German company which I worked with hosted an event which Involved all the German Visa officer. I was opportuned to meet with the officer who treated my aplication. She asked why I could'nt go and I told her I had a project to finish with the new company, hence the reason why I decided to withdraw and extend till the next admission period. She nod in support of my claim after extensively discussing the goals of the project to her. She later told me to file a new application as soon as I get another admission letter. During this Period, Mr Sebastian walked into the discussion and I quick to introduce myself to him. The months runs by and as a real hustler, I knew this was another chance to actualize the dream. Fast-forward to June, Admission letters started rolling in and I went through the normal route of visa application. I was given a certain date in August and I was quick to involve God to make it happen this time. The days keeps counting and I could feel the emotion of facing another visa interview. The real date came and I was so prepared. At the gate, we were ushered in by the securities in order to face another life "changing" Interview.

At first, we were asked to write and submit a "letter of Motivation" placing more emphasis on your desired course and why Germany. I did my best by writing an amazing Motivation letter and why I felt it'll be necessary for me to study my course in Germany. After this, we submitted our letter and few mins later, we were called in for the Interview. We submitted all our originals and two photocopies each. The only difference from the previous interview was the fact that I added a "Reference Letter" also known as "Arbeitzeugnise" from the German company here in lagos. The normal questions were asked and I cleared them without fidgeting. At some point, I even asked the Interviewer some questions about the German anthem and he painstakingly replied with a satisfactory answer. The interview ended 35 mins later and I went away putting the rest into God's hand.

Six days later, I decided to enquire from all the major banks about "Form A transaction". This time, I went straight to all the Banks head offices in VI and Marina. The first was Stanbic, followed by Zenith (I even initiated with these two banks). First Bank was the last bank I visited and I was told they can't transfer into a personal account except school account. I thanked the lady and walked away to visit other banks. Some few meteres after leaving First Bank, I received a call from Dayo Fedex (According to True Caller). He was like "Hello, are you Mr ......, I said yes I am the one. He said I have a package from the German embassy". My heart and mind raced. Right in the middle of Eko Idumota market, I was standing with two hands on my head, I was speechless. All I could hear was a faint "Hello, are you still there.. Please, where and how do I drop the package." I summoned the courage and continued with the call. He said "Sir, you've waste my airtime. Na good news be this oo, Abeg just send recharge card to this line when you get home. Immediately, I blatantly told him that "Oga, na Visa rejection you just bring so." Just drop the documents with the petit trader living beside my house, I'll pick it when I'm home. he felt sorry for me and prayed for more luck next time. I ended the call and my heart was palpitating. I cancelled every appointment and rushed home. Collected my documents and I saw the big rejection. Out of all the documents sent back by the embassy, They witheld the "Arbeitzeugnis" given to me by my employer who happens to be a German company. I started thinking, researching about appeal, amongst others. At times, I'll wake up in the middle of the night reflecting on the Interview day and asking myself series of questions on what could have went wrong. I barely sleep, I turned off my phone and I was restless !.

Finally, I Manned up and decided to appeal. First, I wrote and sent an appeal letter via email, signed it and attached every documents from the previous year stating the reason for my withdrawal. The embassy replied me stating that the appeal could not be accepted in the format I used. I decided to go formal by hand-writing an appeal letter, added some documets, at this Point, the German company also wrote another letter, STRONGLY indicating my desire to study. I compiled all these documents and took them personally to the embassy. This time, I had some chat with Mr Paulinus and he assured me it'll be settled. 1 week, 2 weeks, 3 weeks.. No show/response from the consulate and I began to worry because the enrolment period was also drawing nearer. Finally, I heard of an event hosted by DAAD in conjuction with the German embassy and Goethe. I quickly saved the date and vowed to attend. Fast forward to this day, I was there and was glad to see One of the Visa officer whom I've met earlier at the Event. I asked some question relating to issues which my friend faced and also my own scenerio. He was able to answer to some extent and after the event, he was quick to recognize me. He called me to know If I was the one directly affetced by the question which i asked, I said No, it actually happened to a friend. he took his reference number and we continued chatting. I now reminded him about the event which was held at Eko hotel. He was able to remember our meet-up and he asked about other staffs. I was quick to reply with a fine. Finally, he asked about my visa application and I told him I got a rejetcion. He was surprised to know who rejected me and I told him it was "Kim Mar... Eise...." (German visa applicant should know this name in full). He asked If I have appealed and I said yes I have appealled for over 4 weeks. He took my visa application number with my friend's visa application number, tucked it into his pocket and dispersed every other person willing to see him. He appealed to them to visit the German embassy's website to learn more. At this Jucture, I knew God has smiled on me.


Two days Later, I got an email that my appeal was successful and It has been sent to my city's Auslander for final clearance. I was so happy and I decided to continue with the Form A funding. 3 days later, I got all my documents and Guess what again......The recommendation letter sent by the German company was still witheld.

Yes... just make sure it's well certified.

You can't apply for a bsc degree in Germany with only your ssce results. You will have to tender your previous bsc transcript and you're not the first person to go for another bsc degree. So you're safe. Btw BSc degrees rarely ask for recommendation letters

jbonito:
Why are you complicating the matter Biko. I read few pages back you were properly advised. Get your Bsc transcripts, cos you need it. Why do you have just 100 level and 300 level transcripts? What happened to 200 & 400 level transcripts? You have been told as well that unless the school is adamant about an English language test, a letter from your university confirming that you studied in English will certainly be adequate. All you had to do was email the course coordinator/ admission office in Germany to confirm if the said document will suffice.

Cheers

Ì taya for uni assist oh.. the other day someone said that they contacted him that his online signed application form was missing, that he didn't include it. I thought it was ridiculous, like who would forget to add such.. I didn't know they were still coming for me. Just got an email now that my online signed application form is missing too..
I am 100% sure I added it. the thing was bulky, about 5 to 6 pages and I signed at the end of the last page. To know I was sure.. It weighed larger than the rest of the application I sent to other schools. I paid more.
Why will they mishandle documents and start saying is one's fault.. God knows am over broke right now.. I can't resend another. I can't kill myself. I hope to get good replies from the other schools I applied too. The rest of the schools have mailed me that my documents are complete. Awaiting good news by God's grace.

Uni assist go on and sit down somewhere​

jbonito:
What do you need to know?

glucklichewelt:
Hi Jbonito,

Please I would like to know if they offer comprehensive health insurance, how affordable is it?, are there exemptions like illnesses they don't cover? Private and public which one is best for someone over 30? My questions are quite a lot? Kinda confused..

All info/ideas will be much appreciated.

Thank you.

jbonito:
I'm not very vast in this area but I'll try. If you are under 30, AOK is probably the best and it's public of course. ( comprehensive ) 90 Euros per month, but over 30, it's like AOK charges higher cos "presumably" one is expected to fall sick more from these age. Lol! ( I no understand myself ). I think it's between 120-150, so what most people over 30 ( students ), do is to go for private which is in the range of 40-60, but these one ehn, my guy here always laughs at himself cos he's using it. You have to pay for your hospital bills and then file for claims after and all that. In short, it's not really cool. That's all I can say on here before I talk the scope wey I hear and dem ban me. Lmao.

Hello guys, I just want to know if this is the same as German student visa thread or there is another thread for students. Thank you

Dominicumoh:
Good day friends!

Also, must my TOEFL score be sent directly to Uni-assist? I used the PDF copy from the site and sent them a photocopied and certified hard copy, will that be sufficient? Or do I still need to pay additional $20 to ets.org to send the official score to Uni-assist.

Looking forward to good responses
