I don't think age has anything to do when I comes to masters.

hey guys
interview done and dusted, 5th octbober.!

Arrived 5;30 and was the first person on the queue. Tough guy(paulinus) cool came around 6:13 and called us from the queue by 7am. just 3 students visa applicants (not too sure), one of us didnt keep to his instructions so he decided to keep us all on our toes grin. as usual i flowed with his pace and in the end he took my documents personally and even helped arranged them(i dont even know how it happened). but i i think he's not real;y a harsh or a difficult personality only that he wants you to follow his instructions and you good to go. so don't panic at all.

i was the first student to be interviewed. so i met this white german lady(late 30 or so), very friend,nice and cool. she took my documents and visa fee.did biometric verification and gave me a question paper to answer some questions;

1.name of school and course
2.why the course?
3.why Germany?,why not other english speaking countries
4.whose your sponsor and where he does he work
5.do you speak german, for how long?
6.course structure
7.do you intend to come back or stay...(You guys know the usual drill here) cool
8.do you have friends/family in germany? name them
9.have you been to germany
10.how have you been preparing for your studies

then she told me to pick up the phone lets have a talk

VO;you said you've been learning german for 5 months
me: yes ma
VO; so can you speak well and which means did you use to learn
me: at most A2 but i had to stop for two months due to my exams. i used youtube.
VO.; (smiled)very good. so why did you choose this course
me; sustainability is a mega trend, making valuable use of natural resources to optimize standard of leaving. nigeria is gradually buying into this idea and i will like to be among those who will contribute to the realization of this dream.(i just want to be brief)
VO; (smiled and nodded her head in affirmation). so tell me why you chosed germany
VO; Germany is a hub of technological excellence, they offer sound academic training in theory and most importantly practical which is more relevant to life(saw a big grin on her face, nodding in affirmation) cool and its tuition free so you can devote most of you time to study
VO: (impressed) thank you very much...so tell me what you know about germany
me: Germany dont need any introduction when it comes to automobile production.(this one registered very well and she started to chuckle in affirmation and thanked me too.) cool. they have a top class transportation system and a remarkable history in football,especially soccer(my favourite).
VO: (still recovering from the chuckle) thank you...who is the president/chancellor?
me: frank walter stienmier/ Angela markel (i was sure of the pronunciation not the spelling)
VO; thats right...that will be all for now,we'll contact you by email.
me: ok thank you very much...hunged up the phone

i was about leaving, then she called me back and asked(my heart skipped a bit here) cool
VO; how do you pronounce your surname...i pronounced it for her, but then she said ''no'' that she wants to try it herself. i let her try and after some funny trials, i helped her a bit and she finally got the pronunciation(with a grin on her face). she did the same for my middle name too.

she gave me a print out to cross check my passport data page and everything was in line.
VO: is everything correct
me: Yes ma
VO: ok you can go now and have a nice day. tchuss!
me: you too ma..tchuss!

i was leaving the security check point when i saw the other two student visa applicants just entering the security check point, around 8:50 or so, yet to have their interview. their cloths were soaked with sweat,probably resulting from the heat of the tough guy,Paulinus cool

i will remain grateful for meeting a good and cocky friend here,Yusuph lanre tongue! blessed be the day i first met you!
Thanks to this wonderful family too that gave all informations for free, all the way from part 2 where i started and to some of my favorite lazy newbies tongue. i appreciate you all! we shall all smile together in the end

Stay tuned for the next success story cool

Hello guys, please those who have traveled with Turkish Airlines recently or have any information, is it true that they don't allow you board if you don't have a return ticket, I am booked to fly on Saturday and I have just a one-way ticket. Should I be expecting any surprises?


Its a pure lie , I flew with Turkish Airline on the 24 of September to Hamburg with one way ticket and no issues at all,, go ahead friend , there is nothing to fear about.. safe journey and welcome to Deutchland ..

For all the newbies who have formed the habit of asking annoying questions here, pls do yourself every good by reading previous pages of the thread, some unnecessary expenses could be smartly avoided only if you READ.

I have also noticed with so much disdain that the culture of hardwork and personal research skills is fast eroding our "younger ones" or "newbies". I want to believe you are aware that GERMANY is not for the feeble minds who excepts to be spoon feeded at every given instance.

For some experienced folks here, please let us all insist for the right things to be done. I think its far better to direct people properly to avert future disaster than to encourage lazy feeble acts. Pls remind them to READ rather than aiding them to wantom destruction as there seems to be no shortcuts to destiny. Danke
IMO, this is too harsh. Your choice of words is a pure reflection of arrogance and pride. I support and encouraged harf work but we must be careful not to hurt someone ego. I am one of pioneers of this thread I don't think I will support your choice of words. Don't forget you were once a "newbie or Jew" and I am most certain you will feel offended if someone had so referred to you. I believe empathy is missing in Africa that is why we are all running to Germany. Do you asked yourself why German s refused to charge tuition even for non nationals? Its empathy. Let's cultivate it here in Africa

It's not a lie please. Just because you were not affected or stopped by those aimless people does not mean it's not true. Similar issues happened

to 2 people that I know this same week.

So to those of you, who wish to fly Turkish Airline please make sure you go to their stand/Office at the Airport about 1 - 2 hours earlier before boarding and ask them if there would be any issue with buying a One way Ticket or profer a possible solution to avoid been harassed.

It's not compulsory. If you have, no probz. If you intend to visit your primary school and get it, no probz either.

Hence, not presenting pry cert shouldn't bring probz.

I traveled on a one way ticket with Turkish airlines and I wasn't disturbed...
The return ticket applies only to students going to UK not Germany. Remind them that in case the person at the counter is a "learner"
Information is power wink

hey law
you already identified the course you intend to go for so that answers your first questions(steps you need to take). G.p shouldn't be much of a problem,thats if the heart is willing to try. Sound and convincing Motivation letter can make up for it in some cases or most.

in the mean time browse through the link below, make your choice of course from the related courses available and see if you meet their requirements.

Anytime!
depends on your pocket. i patronized TNT(mailing service under fedex) during my own time as it was fast and affordable to some extent,9-10k i think but probably the price must have inflated tongue. documents will arrive at most 3 days or 4. you can use this mailing service when your behind time(application deadline is getting close)

if you live or have someone in lagos, you can use ni-post at MMIA 2, its very affordable and your documents get there withing 7-10 days. Use this one when your not in a rush. price is between 3-5k(not sure of the present cost) and make sure its unregistered cus its gets there faster than registered

Thanks a lot.. thats really helpful!
Two last questions if I may.
1. Is there any disadvantage with magistrate/high court certification?

2. I want to request ETS to forward my toefl. Their website says to allow 4-6 weeks for physical copies of scores to get to designated institutions. This is a bit too long. But I believe that if they send the scores electronically it is instantaneous. Do you have an idea how ETS forwards toefl scores to uni-assist and/or how long it takes to get to them? I already mailed uni-assist with regards to this inquiry but yet to get a feedback.
