Chai. I have missed a lot. Never knew there's a thread like this in NL. I just stumbled on it.
I pray I can give my interview transcript and testimony here too just like others.
This is the issue; and I hope I can find solutions here.
I applied for EuroMPM in Fachhochschule Dortmund
University of Applied Sciences and Arts in Germany with the orientation that it's a tuition free masters program; of course I am well aware I'll have to pay for my living expenses, transportation costs etc. and I am ready to handle that. Not until I finally got a mail on 20/08/2018 that "The status of your online application in the university portal changed", I logged in and alas I've been offered admission.
I was extremely happy until when I got to know of "proof of financial means" for visa vis-a-vis when I'm expected to be in Germany and then when the course starts fully.
I received a mail that I've been admitted to the school on 20/08/2018, I'm expected to be in Germany between 1st and 30th September and course work starts fully 15/10/2018.
Looking at the proof of financial means, the duration is just too short for me to gather [€8640] about 3.5 million to open and send to a German block account...
I don't know anyone is Germany that can provide a sponsorship certificate for me to use for my visa and the duration is also too short to get a scholarship as most scholarships have already closed and the ones that are open wouldn't even meet up with the timeline
I tried to defer the admission but I got a negative response that I will have to reapply in 2019, which the admission isn't sure then.
Does anyone have an helpful opinion? I believe there must be someone here that had similar issue and was able to scale through... I'd really appreciate your candid suggestions and opinions cos this is the time I need it most.

Winniewelsh:
Just not to rush things or put yourself in much pressure... check i you can differ the admission to summer. This will help you plan well and prepare for funding.
Or do you plan to still try out this Winter?

Rosicky7:
You major issue is that you cannot get a visa appointment in time to meet up with ur enrollment deadline. I will advise you defer that admission to next semester

I actually tried differing to winter, I sent a mail to that effect and this was the mail I received 2 days ago.
I will really appreciate your candid opinions that could be of help because I really need to act fast because the timeline is just too short

If the school says u cannot differ, you will have to reapply again next year. Meanwhile as u wait to reapply, start to hustle for the 8640 Euros that you need to block. I really don't think there's any magic you can do to go this winter. Sorry I'm blunt, but that's how it is. Take it on the chin and plan for next year

Please house respond...

Sakasitay:
Thank God for His Grace.. It was a successful interview - and my wishes were granted. I was interviewed by the guy in a punk haircut. He has no problem - so easy going and reassuring.

So, I woke up by 2:54 am, six minutes before my alarm rang. I zoomed off to VI around 3:50 am. It was tough to find a parking space, and I was like "wetin be this one again?" Eventually I got a parking space opposite the Indian Embassy.

I got to German Embassy gate by 4:49, and was number two on the queue. We all lined up there until about 5:40, when we saw a slightly bald man arranging sits and stools, and giving orders to the police men - and I realised that was the Great Mr Paulinus.

He barked here and there, and all we kept saying was "sorry sir, we are sorry sir". We did all the routine security checks and sat for our turns at the Visa section - It felt like the abroad man. So I got a notification to enter the third cubicle:

Me: Good morning
V.O : Welcome to the German Embassy. So, is it for Bsc or Masters?
Me: It's for MSc please.

V.O: which school are you going to?
Me: University of Hohenheim, Stuttgart.
V.O: for which program?
Me: I'm going to study MSc International Business and Economics.
V.O: Can I have your documents please? The original and copies...
Me: Passed them through the counter, and paid for the Visa fees as well.
V.O : I need an extra passport photo please. It should be on white background.
Me: I checked my pocket and I saw passport photos in red background. (Lmao, I've been trusting my village people for being good people all these years, why would they come and fall my hand at the interview nau?) Luckily I found and extra photo. I passed it on.

V.O : why study this course in Germany, when you can actually study it in Nigeria?

Me: Actually, I've chosen to study it in Germany because no university offers it year as a joint degree, in addition, the approach in Nigeria is not interdisciplinary in context (or nature).

V.O : Why Germany and not UK, Us or Canada?
Me: Germany offers best value for education, and its universities are more affordable than those in the me too education countries. The unis in Germany are highly ranked in the World University Rankings.

V.O : why this course?

Me: I want to study this course, so that I will attain a management position in the nearest future. I want to gain skills in applying econometric methods in the solving of management problems. I will also learn how business is approached from a global perspective. It will also help me to expand my professional network.

V.O : After this course, what next?

Me: Come back to Nigeria (as if) just in time to help my company plan and strategize on how we are going to expand our business to ECOWAS nations like Ghana and Ivory Coast. I will like to be in the team that will set the plans and strategies... Furthermore, in the future, the knowledge from course will be needed, so that I can render management consultancy services to the Federal Ministry of Trade and Investment, where I would give advice on how to develop strategies for enhancing Nigeria's exportation, and to give the ministry a sense of globalization. I believe that this will be my way of contributing to the country.

V.O : I hope you have a motivation letter
Me: Yes, an original and two copies, please.

V.O : Have you paid school fees.

Me: No, not yet. The uni strictly said that I should pay after I must have got a Visa.

V.O : Have you learnt German?

Me: I have not registered for a course at the institute, but have been learning online, so that when I get to Germany, I will intensify the study at any institute there.

V.O : Facts about Germany

Me: (The normal yarns. Just that I added jara in my own. I even mentioned the three seas which the rivers flow into)

V.O : is that all?

Me: (I gave a shout out to Angela Merkel, and Frank Walter Steinmeier, and the dates they assumed office, and the roles the play, then I mentioned that the President has no party)

V.O : Are you sure he has no party? I mean, if you say plays a neutral part, it doesn't mean he has no party.

Me: yes, he was in the CDU before he became president and assumed neutrality.

V.O : where did you graduate from? And which year? What have you been doing since.

Me: I graduated with a Bsc in Marketing from the University of Port Harcourt. Graduated in 2015 and convoked in 2016. I got a job as a graduate intern, until it was time for nysc, and the company retained me as an nysc staff, and subsequently gave me full time employment.

V.O : Do you have any questions?

Me: Yes. Please, I was told to bring a biometrically old document, should I submit my ID card? Oh! Here's my scratch card.

V.O : we don't need the ID card. Sign this paper and copy the email address. Once you fund a blocked account, kindly send us an email for confirmation. Henceforth, all communication will be via email. That would be all...


In addition, don't let Paulinus get to you. Be obedient and don't do what you were not asked..

The president's party is SPD not CDU, na Merkel be CDU

I have tried to access part 4 of this thread & it says its locked

who is experiencing such

You can access any part including part 4 by not clicking the link on the part 5 first page, rather by using the Google Search. Type "Interview on General German Student Visa, part 4: nairaland" on Google and viola you are in. You can then read from the first page and keep the tab open on your browser.

Hope this helps?
