Urgent!!!

Please who has idea of how much to send documents via DHL on the island?
The one at Ikota is telling me 26k for sending just 2 papers

You can use Aramex on Ajose Adeogun, VI. They charge about 13k and it will be delivered 3 - 5 days

Ayo240:


The buying price on abokifx is 397 so I think the rate is fine.

Please take him to the bank, fill the teller form, he should handover the Euro directly to the teller. Once you get your alert, you can transfer the money.

Dankeshon

AM alert!!!

I give all glory to God for guiding me to this path! Also, let me thank you, the ever-supportive Nairalanders. I learnt a lot through this forum.

Course: MSc IT Security Management
School: Arden University Berlin (through GISMA Business School Berlin)
Interview: 5th April
BA confirmation: 29th April (Re-sent with Visa application receipt number in May 17th. Still I didn't get any reply or acknowledgement )
AM: 29th July

TIMELINE (all within this year, 2019):
Jan 23 - Applied for the course
Feb 7 - WhatsApp video interview
Feb 13 - Received Admission Letter
Feb 19 - Received Enrolment Letter from the school addressed to the German Embassy, Lagos for Visa applications. This is upon the payment of €2,000.00 deposit. Balance of €10,000.00 to be paid instalmentaly throughout the course duration.

After this, I spent about 3 weeks almost everyday having sleepless nights (10:30 AM to 2:00 AM in average) clicking and refreshing on the Booking appointment page to get a date for the Visa Interview.

Finally...
April 3rd - About 11:17 PM, Got an interview appointment date for 5th April. Just 2 days interval! I was in panic mode...!!! Should I cancel or not cancel? How do I get all the documents ready? What of flight from South-South to Lagos and back? How do I prepare for the questions?

I posted my confusion on NL and guys encouraged me to go for the interview - nothing happen! Thanks aduku1, Armstrong34, tsmith1.

April 4th:
- I couldn't sleep after getting the appointment date, I woke my wife up and we started to arrange my documents and pack... The following morning was printing stuff and photcopying "up and dan" - Visa Application Form, CV, Declaration page, etc. Ha!...No, Primary School Certificate..! I ran to court to swear affidavit...just in case! Na there I parked my car and task force came to carry the car away. See stress! I spent the next 2 hours running up and down to recover the car. I pity my wife, she was running up and down to ensure I meet up with time. Lastly, went to do the passport photo. I couldn't remember the passport spec sef. I just told the guy, do the one for USA...! Wrong number!!!... I had to cough out N1000 to snap the correct one at the Park close to the Embassy that interview morning! It was there I also got the pre-paid Courier envelope.

It was almost time for the check-in at the airport. I rushed out of the shop where I was printing the passport photo. Wahala... my car refused to start oh! My wife, sharp woman, started to rebuke the devil and sharply arranged taxi to the Airport. I was lucky to get a seat in the only flight to Lagos for the day!

April 5th - INTERVIEW DAY!
- I got there around 6:05 AM or so.... So, this is the popular Mr. Paulinus!
As we were arranging the document, the man asked for Biodata of 5 years or earlier. I told him it was not in the Checklist. The man looked at me and said I was not serious. "Those other people that have, you want to tell me they don't know what they are doing? Why is your own list special?" I stood my ground oh... Mr. Paulinus saw the checklist I printed from the Embassy website. Na im the man cool down...Lol! But he later got me, when he saw that I didn't have photocopies of my Letter of Motivation. He just packed the documents I had arranged, use rubber band to hold them together and gave them back to me. "My friend get out of here! I can see you are not ready... Shebi you are Mr. Meticulous. So, you didn't see that you are to have 3 copies of all your documents... Don't tell me sorry. You have not offended me" . He gave me a small note where he wrote the time I should be back or lose my appointment. Guys, I hurried to the Park and made the photocopies oh. I think it was N100 per copy.

The interview went well and easier than I thought! I was interviewed by the sweet lady in dreadlocks. She is very smart but seemed to be patient with me. They were normal questions we've been seeing here. Don't let me bore you with those... But she told me I would have blocked before coming. I told her it was in process that I didn't know I would get the interview date so early.


THE LONG WAIT FOR AM...

On June 16th, when it was like 10 weeks after the interview, I called the Embassy. The lady that picked said, I should just forget it once I have done my interview. That I should wait for their email. Well, that sound hopeful ! You don't receive email if your application is rejected, you simply receive your documents back! As at July 1st, the Alien Office in Berlin replied the email I sent to them that they don't have my records. Na so, I told myself, let me just shift my attention to other things I am doing. It is far from easy though!

So, it has taken 16 weeks and 3 days for the AM to come finally, finally!!! It was not easy waiting at all. But God made it to end in praise!!!

So my NL people, please don't give up. Those who are just waiting for AL, they will get it! The AD issue may seem all troubling, confusing, depressing and disconcerting, this too shall pass and you will get your date. And, your efforts will be crowned with the good news of your AM landing in your email! We go dey alright las las in this Germany waka! Thanks all!!!

Wow!!!!
Congrats.
The experience is a memorable one

This is not your first time posting this kind message.

Please if u are tired and have given up, just leave silently na, is a per head race.

Am quoting u because I have seen similar repetitive post from u and is not healthy here, u can cause people loose focus and give in to despair.
Then, more importantly, the 2 countries u posted there are not easier than even the Germany u are running from.
I know the cost of the 2 is grossly bigger than German BA sef.
I believe in having a formidable plan B, which could include u re-strategizing even for Germany. Just today, people got appointment, even in Category B which gives credence to my testament that there's just something u have not acted well in.
Don't just sit in this perilous time and think is still status quo. Times have changed bro.

Good luck sir. *Please don't discourage people*

This is just rubbish from you. First of all I was referring to those who booked like 3-4 months ago & are still waiting. I am not discouraging anybody, if you are not a juvenile then you would know what it means to wait for a date for 3-4 months but you just made me believe that you are a juvenile.

Have a blessed day!

I was interviewed by black woman.... Pot 2
Arrived 5:49 was the first but the police sent us to garage.
I waited till 6:30 by then I'm no: 10 on the line
Met the fair mean guy maybe Mr paulinus

Congratulation and wish you Heaven's Best

Good day all, just had my interview this morning 30th July, 2019. I applied to category A (Masters) on May 27 and got a date on May 31st. I pray for people still waiting for dates, you will get yours soon.

Am sorry if my suggestion offended u.
I waited for a date for a month myself before looking out for solutions and found one, today am with my Visa
Bro u can choose to stay there and curse me from morning till nigi and hate me or u can decide to ask around for what works currently from those getting date..
I have had discussions with a lot of people that pm'd me on this issue and am glad that at last, d all are getting their dates.
The advise has been laid out here severally, I have talked my heart out on this severally too, yet it grieves my heart some people like you are expecting magic to happen.

I know when u started ur complaints and up till now u are still on it, haba. I remembered very well then encouraging u.
Please ask around, u can ask Philfit and many others that got date recently if they just waited in silence believed it will just happen.

Sorry for your long wait, I repeat, ur destiny is in ur hand and nobody will take it up for u, u can only be advised. I got the same advised and took my bold steps too.
That brings me to this, u can Choose to run around Norway and Canada that is not really giving hope at the moment or prepare for ur next launch on Germany. Winter interviews ends October except for full scholarship applicants, Summer resumes November. I know couple of guys that are already plotting around to join the movement very early it begins, one has gotten 2 Summer approvals already from his winter courses he deferred.
Brother what am saying in essence is if u think u can't meet up Winter, Summer is here. Take up the responsibility early and be in the front run. U can do interview November and get AM December, my guy got his Summer visa approval in December last year, he missed the previous winter. What stops u from researching around and apply tactics this time and believe God's grace to see u through. Being in Cat B won't affect u much if u are among early lead. My sister Sassy92 and many more are already gearing up for Summer, now she's doing German language preparing herself to have that edge, that is the spirit of the race bro. Or should I talk about my two bros here that I learned patience from, Eldeee and dailydolars these two have been running this race for about 3 years now, d have done interview several times and gotten a good response but couldn't meet up, yet d are not daunted, d are on it even as I write this, one have done interview this winter and the other is preparing to revisit the same embassy come August. This is what we call "Running the race", so let not ur heart frail and u now feel u are alone or ur endurance has been tried the most, No, many, even some ghost readers could have worser experiences but won't give up.

I won't forget when Eldeee encouraged me not to see one year as it won't come, that is already around the corner, we should start gearing up with our preparations, and this was around October last year that we didn't meet up. Mehn, I died inside anytime I want to think of having to wait for another year, now is over. Is over because I took his advise to hustle immediately for BA as though it was to be needed in a month time and started researching for my programs. By January this year, I had dispatched some documents to some schools for this winter, then the rest, 1st April. Now everything is a concluded episode with my Visa staring at me on page 5 of my passport booklet

Please take note that Summer applications would be challenging as well with this new Category rules, meaning the applicants in Category B will triple.

I just wish you understand me, best of Luck sir.

Please don't call me small boy next time, I "fit" father u o

Shalom sir

Congrats.
Ur faith will make this process whole for u, believe it, u have conquered already.
Everyone get story to tell, from those that did interview April and till August, No AM and to those that got admitted May, till now d are still scampering for dates and to those that have August dates but still have not gotten correspondence of admission decision from their schools, many cases de. We all have our share of the Germany experience this year, believe me, u are not alone.
One thing is certain, if we don't give up, we will come back with a testimony.
