El-Oh-El

were you a ghost reader when you were applying for admission?
I'm sure there are people in your field that could also apply to that school if you mentioned it here earlier.
Okay, AL came, no testimony.
Still ghosting, I guess?

Now that you got constricted time interval between interview and enrolment deadline, you came out of your shell to ask for help.

Well, someone has replied you. There's no assurance you'll get an earlier date. It's advisable you stick with what you have.

Lol, not really a ghost reader, I've been active, couldn't login my account with the pace I wanted to post, so I have to create this, same Harday27.
Thanks brother

Second one



I got to the consulate  about 6:10am, i was booked for 7am. We were like 5 students but one of us didn't bring his prepaid courier bag so he was sent back to get it and another guy held a very big back pack so he was asked to go and put it somewhere else, luckily, oga Paulinus was not around so there was no much tension to go through. The man at the gate was very helpful. After the security check, I was given my documents and I was asked to follow the green mark to the visa section. When I got the the waiting room, I was the only one. The two guys before me were already having their interview, I guess. I waited for about 2 minutes when the V.o in room too signaled and I entered.

Vo: good morning
Me:good morning
Vo: can I have your documents please. I gave it to him
Vo: Have you been here before?
Me: Yes, I have...
Vo: what now happened?
Me: I couldn't complete my BA and my sponsor was not ready last year.
Vo:  so, have you been able to complete the funds now?
Me: No, but I have the declaration of support now though (sponsorship letter)
**He searched my documents and took out the sl.**

***After few minutes of a little argument about the genuineness of the letter and the relationship of the sponsor and i. He said i should pick up the telephone so that we can start the interview now.***

**As we were discussing the letter, he was also collecting the visa fee and took my biometrics so I guess my last interview popped out...**


Vo: which school are you going to?
Me: I told him, University of Applied sciences.....
Vo:  which campus?
Me: schweinfurt.
Vo: course?
Me: I told him, logistics
Vo: oh, same as the last?
Me:  yes, same school, same course.
Vo: Bachelors?..
Me: yes, same school, same course.
Vo: I can see you gave a bachelors already, why will you want to have another one?

Me: I told him how I visited an uncle's farms years ago and discovered he his facing  logistics issue, I also mentioned how in my first course of study we are faced with clients and contractors not getting materials and materials on site on time, I also mentioned the apapa grid lock and how we used to getting things done late and I mentioned the popular " African  time"

V.o: why Germany?

Me: I told him how Germany has been in fore front of supply chain management in Europe, the quality of education in Germany and my love for the language and culture and the low tuition fee.
 
V.o: but why not Nigeria.

Me: poor state of education in Nigeria and we don't have much schools that offers it. The ones that offers it are always in strike and they only offer it as transport management, i mentioned Lautech and FUTA and strike issue.

V.o: so why didn't you consider English speaking countries.

Me: cost of education, my determination to learn a second language and Germany's achievement in European logistics industry

V.o: tell me facts about Germany

Me: I told him till he asked me to stop, lol...

V. O: what preparation have you made concerning your stay?

Me: I applied for studenwerk, my friends are helping me out..

V.o: do you have family or friends in Germany?.. I answered.

Vo: can you speak or write German.. I answered no but I'm learning on busuu, duolingo and youtube

V.o: what are your plans after study..

Me: to return back to naija and focus on the agric and construction logistics sectors and also help my country in any way I can

V.o:Do you have any question for me?..
 
Me: I asked about if me ticking the insurance part of the application form is a problem since I only have the certificate, he answered that it doesn't matter.

V.o: that's all for the interview... We'll get back to you soon. Have a nice day.

Interview took about 35-40 minutes

My observation.

Get to the consulate early.

If you'll be using sl and taking it along with you , make sure you know some basic stuffs about your sponsor. How much does he earn, his family and if you don't, just be in a better state of mind to stand your ground.

Make sure you check your documents well

And Pray.

I'm sure we'll all testify at last.

Studentenwerk and SWG are not the same.

Take Studentenwerk like Normal School hostel managed by the uni. I no like am because na only students dey there and you have to leave after your studies. Plus, i am a private person, i am more like on a code nigga.

SWG is "WG" is the Wohnung = residence, . Stadt= City.

So it's a public accommodation scheme. When they find a good reason why you should be in the city (studies or work), then its easier for you. Its not easy to get due to long list, but when you get it, you are okay. The rent is usually below 200 euro for everything. Normally, it is very cozy... And you leave when you feel like..not like the other one that you must have to leave after graduation.



So imagine paying 350-450 euro (like in my school) with the Studenten wg.....Or rather less ?
150 euro basic rent...if you economize heater and water, you pay less than 200 a month.
I know people paying 190 euro per month in a house better than most private homes.

Pecky2222:




Tnk you so much for this. But please wat do u mean by the bolded. Is it studentenwerk accommodations? Wat is SWG

How about Aachen SL quote author=Immafrank post=76441805]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!

They allowed her because no category was stated on her appointment letter which was an error on their part.
