This will be my last post about this issue.

The "Homeland Immigration office" as you call it is also responsible for issuing passports, yet every embassy issues passports to their citizen living abroad.

The same city office is responsible for issuing Birth and Death Certificate, yet this same embassy issues these certificates to citizens living abroad.

These same embassy process tax, pension, marriages and many other services for the citizen abroad. The embassy is much more than a visa issuing institute.

If the embassy doesnt offer such service, it wont be on its website.

P.S. Nobody is an island of knowledge. There are a lot of rights, privileges and information which we dont know about because we are not informed about them and we dont discuss about them. The fact that we are not informed about them doesnt mean they dont exist.
For example, it use to be the norm in part 1 of this thread that when apply for student visa, you just have to wait till the embassy write you to come until someone wrote the foreigners office of his city to enquire about tge status of his visa before it became the norm on this thread (you have the right to be concern about your visa status when the 8weeks the embassy specified lapse). The same way many didnt know about appealing a rejection even though the embassy do write it on the rejection letter until esdajo did and was issued the visa.

Dankeschon:



Please bro, he's right; German embassy or Consulate DOES NOT issue VPEs (as some people call it), except you guys are referring to some other document. Homeland Immigration offices do that, located in each town, and the issuing office has to be the one of the town your sponsor lives in.
However, if a German citizen is resident in another country, and wants to sponsor his/her relative, he might go to the embassy in the country he is resident in, and plead with them to have his home-town issue a VPE and send it through the embassy.
Sometimes, we forget these institutions are set up for specific/particular purposes, embassises are foreign diplomatic institutes, they are not also saddled with internal issues. You're also aware that not only German citizens can request for VPEs foreigners also can, and it's the homeland Immigration offices that have the detailed data of each person in each town.

For those in Germany.

I would like to know the necessary steps to take the first few days of settling in.

How much should I bring in had for accommodation and living (excluding enrollment fees)?
If I haven't secured accommodation before landing, how do I go about it?
And how do I go about securing accommodation before landing?

BabaEuro:

Bros fill BLOCK ACCOUNT in your application form as means of subsistence and go for your interview on Monday,when asked during the interview tell them you are using block account. Forward your Sponsorship letter to them immediately you are able to get it, and write a small email that you are changing from Block account to Sponsorship letter.

Dont you think this can only work if he has opened a blocked account. If he hasn't, I'ld suggest he opens fintiba sharpsharp

Berliner1:


MBA yes but they are not mostly free and its not that Lucrative in German job market....MBA thrives in an anglophone countries.Mannheim and frankfurt is still the best in Germany in that aspect.


The most important thing here are German Language, Drivers license, Internship/werkstudent.

With all these MBA or Bsc you will net a job here.

If u could explain further, apart from German language which is basic for everyone for easier integration, how are others(Drivers license, internship/studentwerk) more important?

And do U mean having an MBA or B.Sc cant get one a job in germany? Pls clarify.

Danke

I really don't have any experience with student visa.

You could look for a sponsor, if you don't have the full amount

facelessBeing:
please can this issue of confirming ur interview appointment end here!!? as long as you booked ur appointment with the right link and choosing the First Category/Long Term,and then with your PASSPORT NUMBER at the booking page, whether your appointment mail appeared in ENGLISH or GERMAN it is VALID! Mine appeared in GERMAN and I went for interview in this December,2017, gained entry and did my interview without sending all this confirmatory mail you guys are using to disturb the embassy.. enough of those nonsense!!!!! and the unnecessary posts of it on this thread!!

If you want to know if your interview is VALID, click on the link on the foot note of your appointment mail, if it ''displays'' you have booked appointment on the (date) bla bla bla...it is valid.

For the other guy who did his interview in December and whose documents were returned by the embassy via Fedex this week, be clean to state the incidents behind your visa refusal than creating panic to some people here and you couldn't be objective when answering questions people asked you to know why. As for me I already understood your issue that GERMAN LANGUAGE WAS A PREREQUISITE for your ADMISSION and which you DON'T have already at hand hence the sudden refusal of your application.

Whoever that is going to OVGU, Magdeburg this summer should PM me

Sir, please where can one fine the footnote. Can you screen shot it here? It will help us stop mailing the embassy and disturb others here. Thanks.

Can the sponsor be in nigeria?

Does he have to be a relation?

Does he have to give me the cash? or simply show his account statement.

Thanks for your response.

Thanks for your response.

The sponsor has to be a resident of Germany but if someone in Nigeria is willing to sponsor you, maybe he should give you the cash instead

The sponsor will be a German citizen or Permanent Resident earning above 1500€ if single and must not be your relative. His employment contract is okay for that.

You can't evaluate your land. You can only sell it and block the money.

“Must not be your relative”?

How long does inter bank transfer take in Germany. From Sparkasse to Deutsche Bank. How do I confirm the payment since my DB is not activated.

Lakeside2134:


“Must not be your relative”?

It means your sponsor does not have to a relative. It could be a relative or not.

My point is will be explain after another.

Driver's License: some companies are located in a remote area that cant be access with public transport or it entails travelling alot, without your own ride life become difficult and getring such job is practically impossible.

Internship/werkstudent: Germans prefers experience more than paper qualification.surely the qualification is needed but the icing cake is the working expenrience.

German Language: This is the most important and paramount factors here...Have seen an guy who did Bsc and Msc here engineering yet no professional job due to language barrier.He personally told me he has no flair for language.

Without these three point, BSC or MBA landing a Good job in Germany will be tough/impossible.

You can only wait till you transfer the requested amount to get the automatic email notification.


Dont do money exchange deals with anyone you are doubting.


If the transfer is from bank, request for a telex copy.
