Who is sending docs to uni assist let pair

Guy how far. How far your application to Münster? Heard from them yet. Am Sending Docs by 15th. We can use the one at the embassy. Send me a PM, i didnt get your Num de Oda time.

Hello all, please I need help with calculating ECTS. I have searched through and got conflicting and divergent views with everything being based on assumptions. Can someone please help us settle this out once for all please?

lexxydoo:
Hello everyone, please is there anyone applying to FH AACHEN University of Applied Science Jülich, Biomedical Engineering M.Sc?

Hope your BSC is related and you have above 1.9 German grade. If not, forget it. I applied for Summer with a BSC in BME and the above Grade with ielts 7.0. still it didnt get me a Place. The choice is yours

Deustchemann:

Since your school has said they can only send directly to schools or companies, get a company where you know someone. Let your school send the transcript there. The person will pick it up for you. Make photocopies of it and certify them. Use it for your application. That should solve the transcript matter.

About your search for courses, ensure you comb daad.de very well. Expand your search content to other related courses too..

When you've done that, let me hint you on what I did after,
Use Google to Search for the list of all universities in Germany. Wikipedia will open it for you. open their websites one after the other.

By the time you scrutinize the list from start to bottom, you'll find some additional courses you can apply for.
It will take time oh, and data.
But if this is too priority for you, nothing should debar you.

About other courses, so far it's Bachelors degree, you'll be fine. I know someone that studied microbiology in Nigeria here and he's doing logistics BSc in Germany. If you meet requirements, you'll definitely be admitted.

As Obiwannn said and I would love to adopt, "Winter is coming "
Wish you success man.

Thanks bros, really appreciate.

obibanks:


O boy, which course did you study for your B.Sc and which M.Sc are you applying for?

I am not going for MSc bro.
I am going for BSc and my BSc course in Nigeria was Chemical Engineering.

ladyb4sure:
have you applied already to Information Engineering already? Thought their application starts April for Winter... Did you use test of Englist certificate or letter?

Yes, their application is starting in April but you need your VPD ready from uni-assist beforehand.

Yes, they accept both English certificate or letter from school.

God's Grace.

And you answered the question you v been asking since by yourself

Go to a notary public or embassy and certify your document.. Since the school specified that, they will most likely not accept any other one you present that isn't notary public or the embassy

Visit any high court and ask for a notary public they should direct you to one
If u are in Lagos just book appointment and go to the embassy (its free)

N/B you are certifying photocopies

Thanks.

Good day everyone,
My interview is on 13th, which hotel is very close to the embassy?
I need the one that is 10k below.
Thanks a lot.

Bonny camp, (trekable distance from the consulate). there is hotel there 8k-10k.

Greetings everyone,

[/b]This important information is for all winter semester applicants and future ones that will be using Verpflichtungserklarung fur studium (Sponsorship Letter, SL), please read carefully all that is involved using SL and how the embassy operates with it.[b]

Firstly, I want to let you know that using a Verpflichtungserklarung fur studium does not guarantee the issuance of student visa (I don’t care where you will be getting it from whether issued by a family, an acquaintance, or you paid), you stand the same chance as every other applicant using Blocked account. If you are using SL, you can still be rejected on the basis that your sponsor is not capable. The rejection is always in this form from the embassy.

“Your secured subsistence cost is not ensured in Germany”
“There are doubts regarding your secured subsistence cost in Germany”

Now I know you want to ask me why the office in Germany gave your sponsor the letter if he wasn’t capable to sponsor you in the first place. I want you to know that different cities/town in Germany have their own criteria in giving out the SL. Let’s take a case like the Auslanderbehorde in Munich, if your sponsor is living in Munich which is the most expensive city in Germany, as of September 2018, your sponsor must be earning 1,880 Euro monthly before tax to sponsor 1 person if he is single (and must be earning 2,610 Euro to sponsor 2 people), if he has a kid living with him or married without kid, he must be earning 2,300 Euro monthly before tax to sponsor 1 person (and must be earning 3,040 Euro to sponsor 2 people), if he is married with a kid, he must be earning 2,540 Euro monthly before tax to sponsor 1 person (and must be earning 3,270 Euro to sponsor 2 people), if he is married with 2 kids, he must be earning 2,780 Euro monthly before tax to sponsor 1 person (and must be earning 3,510 Euro to sponsor 2 people). This is the breakdown of how Munich checks your sponsor to see his/her eligibility to sponsor you. So different cities got its own breakdown of how much your sponsor must be earning monthly to sponsor you. Normally, after all monthly tax, bills and have been deducted from his monthly salary, he must have 720 or 730 Euro left, that’s how they do it. You can see it equates to the amount of blocked account (BA) to be dispensed to you monthly if you are using BA.

Now, some cities issues this letter even without your sponsor not being capable or not earning that stipulated amount and that is where you start having issues with the foreigners office of the city you are heading to and definitely with the embassy. A city I know that gives sponsors the SL without the sponsor being capable is Pforzheim, Germany. This city dishes out the letters anyhow and most of the letters I have seen that comes from Pforzheim always ended up being rejected by the embassy. Part of the criteria generally in Germany in issuing this SL is that your sponsor must hold a Permanent Residence permit or Temporary residence permit or must be a German citizen or EU citizen to sponsor you (This is the only residence titles your sponsor must have to be issued the SL). Now there is what they call fiktionbeschenigung (fiction certificate), this is the permit they give people living in Germany that applied for a residence permit and the foreigners office has not yet decided on the residence permit whether to issue the applicant or not, so they give the person a fiktionbeschenigung, this person can work with it pending the time they decide on his/her RP. This person is not allowed to stand as a sponsor which is clearly stated by most cities in Germany but Pforzheim can give people with a fiktionbeschenigung (that’s how bad Pforzheim is), now imagine you are applying to another city with this SL signed by a person with a fiktionbeschenigung, that’s auto rejection.

Let me talk about Hannover city, now Hannover has one of the strictest foreigners’ office in Germany, and the place is always filled up. If your SL is coming from any city in Germany, whether from Munich, Hamburg, and so on, just know that Hannover will write your sponsor through postal mail to send some documents including his/her 3 month payslips to check the creditworthiness of the SL, Hannover will now make their own calculations to see if your sponsor is really capable (they always do this because they know some cities are not strict with the letter and due to fluctuating credit-rating of different cities), after making their own calculations and they see your sponsor does not meet up their criteria, then sorry is your case, even if your sponsor is a white German or White EU citizen, they will write him, and if your sponsor doesn’t get the letter Hannover sent him asking for his docs, that’s not their problem, and they wont write another one, so your sponsor must have a working mail box. You might want to ask how they will know your sponsor’s address, your sponsors address will be asked when filling the SL. So I advise you all, please if your letter is coming from another city and you are going to Hannover, don’t try it, you will be disappointed, the best is for your SL to come from Hannover if you are heading to hannover, you wont even have issues, that’s auto acceptance. Hannover is the only city I know that writes sponsors to send documents and this is how to verify SL issued from other cities.

Furthermore, there is a particular number of people a person can sponsor (I don’t the exact number) but let me give you a real life case that happened summer 2018 and winter 2018. There is this German-Nigerian man in Germany, he own a company so he is earning so much money to even sponsor 40 students, in summer 2018, he sponsored about 7 people and they made it to Germany. In winter 2018, he gave about 11 people SL again, and embassy rejected all of the 11 people. Why? Because there is a rule of how many people you can sponsor. Why did they give him in the office in Germany since he was already sponsoring 7 people? The answer is he went to another city to get the SL. Yes, your sponsor can leave his residence city and go to another city to get the SL.

If your sponsor is living in Berlin, Berlin has 2 offices where this SL is issued from, there is one for long term (student, family reunioun and so on) and there is office for short term (visiting, tourism and so on.)
Also, the embassy are not the ones that verifies SL, embassy send your SL to the city you are heading to in Germany and the city does the verification, now the embassy can still decide whether to give you the visa or not, meaning even if your foreigners office in Germany approves your visa, embassy can still reject you for different reasons. They might say “they doubt your indicated purpose of trip” they have their own convictions are you cant sue or fight them.

I hope I have stated all what prospective applicant that wants to use SL needs to know. And please and please, don’t pay anybody you don’t know personally for SL, I read part 4 of this thread where a guy was scammed 400k, a lot of scammers in town now cause they know people are desperate to leave Nigeria, and there are scammers in Germany too, if you get scammed, you get scammed for life, you cant hold anybody, and even if you got the SL and the embassy rejects you based on any reason, then the money you paid is gone.
This is my 2 cents. BE WISE and BE SHARP!!!! [/b]A lot of people are crying in one corner now for this.[b]
I read a post some pages back where one Guy was saying he has 2 million naira and he can’t raise the remaining 1.6 million for the blocked account. Dude if you are reading this, you better hustle for that complete money. I have a friend that had to stay back for a year in Nigeria to get the complete blocked account money and now he is in DE.

NB: SL can be handwritten (filled with pen) or typed-written. SL from Munich is always handwritten except for the official remark, date of entry, employer of your sponsor, and date of issuance of the SL, all these I mentioned are always typed. To get a sample of SL and how it looks like, type “Verpflichtungserklarung” on google, facebook or Instagram, you will see samples.
And please when you get your SL, before the sponsor sends the original by post mail, always request for the softcopy and check that your details (Full name, passport number, date of birth, purpose of stay in Germany) is correct.

TCHUSS!

For those that have taken ielts exams, is the address below a genuine one to register?


https://www.ielts.org/book-a-test/how-do-i-register


Use idp instead https://idpielts.me/
it's 68,000 while British council is 75,000 so you get to save 7,000.

Deustchemann:

I'll recommend University of Applied Sciences, Wurzburg-Schweinfurt. BSc Logistics
Apply via Uni-assist, pack all your documents. You'll be admitted. I think the admission is not restricted

Thank you very much. I already have the school on list of schools to apply to, their application portal will open in May. So I want to get all my documents ready.

Just a reminder for winter applicants:

Don't forget to apply for accomodation as you apply for admission. The most affordable accomodation are the ones provided by the school and they can be applied for via the student services website.

Google "Studentenwerk + name of city your school is located" it should bring up the the website of the particular one which serves that city.

Applying months ahead is key as they only grant offers when they become available which could take a long time. You can even apply now for next summer.

Wggesucht.de can be used to search for private residences but it's relatively more expensive.

I wish us all glad tidings in our quest.

Please, does this require payment at this stage?

Good evening all. Please I'm using just my 100L transcripts for my BSc applications. Please must I use my complete transcripts which are not all readily available.

Are the chances of being admitted with just 100L limited compared with that of the complete transcripts?

Would the evaluation results from uni-assist since I need VPD in almost all the courses differ from the evaluation results of a complete transcripts?

Biko say something about this

Stick with what they ask. And in most cases, their certification is either from the embassy or at a notary public.
