Hey Guys,
That was quick.
I just received my AM

Congrats

AM- Approval mail, mail from the embassy asking you to send your passport for visa
AD- appointment date, date of your student visa interview at the consulate.
To answer your original question;
- before you seek deferment, find out from your school if you can enrol by proxy. Enrollment by proxy means you can do your enrollment while you're still in Nigeria. Once you enrol in a school you're student of that school, therefore you can resume anytime. People resume for winter semester up till December/January (even though winter semester officially starts in October for most schools).
- If your school refuses to allow you enrol by proxy, then you can seek deferment. They will have to issue you a new Admission letter (AL). Once the new AL has been issued then you can book for appointment at the embassy.

Thanks, this is quite helpful. Though I wrote them a mail asking to defer my admission. But I was told deferring admission is no longer possible.

HighPriest0:


The school stood with you throughout
Kept deferring and extending for you.
That's rare meeeeen...

Which school is that please?

Yeah they really tried. Gisma Business School, Berlin.

dailydolar:
@flouxpar write up is a lovely one

Thanks bro.

dailydolar:
@flouxpar and it's also a pointer to what am saying that you don't need to pay or take another interview once U have done that and you can't meet up either because of deadline or funding all you need is another AL from your school with the current semester and that's all
One love guys

Yes, true, the best thing is to weight your options after a huge set back, identify the best way to go about it then take steps, repeat again and don't give up easily and with God's grace success is imminent.

Then start applying for summer semester. Go to DAAD/Wikipedia/Google and search for schools that offer your course for summer semester and start applying. The earlier you apply, the earlier you can get AL and book for AD.

Lol..
I have decided to wait till next winter semester. The school told me to contact uni assist very early March, so uni assist will send my documents to them and they will send me anoda AL on time.
But can I use this present AL I have to open a blocked account now so I can be gathering the money other than waiting for the new AL they promised to send next year

walexy06:


How about another AL from another school without enrolment deadline? Wouldn't that fly too?

once you present AL from a different school you must withdraw your application and apply for another interview date and start the process from beginning again

Thank you

You don't need AL to open a blocked account (BA). My advice is that you open a savings account, preferable a High Yields savings account (to reduce temptation of withdrawing the money) and be stashing the money there. Wait till you get another AL and you've received AD before you open and fund BA.

Good morning everyone, pls I need an urgent answer to me question..... the thing is that my school haven't given me a certicate yet, but I have my NOTIFICATION OF RESULT,, can I use that in replacement of my certificate for uni-assist ?

Pls When is the best or earliest time to apply for visa for next year winter semester.
I don’t want to see “appointments fully booked” wen I want to apply like the one of this year.
I don’t want to wait to get my AL firs b4 registering for Visa Appointment.

Good morning house,
Thanks for such a wonderful forum.

I need some urgent insightful advice about my current situation.

My wife received her German student visa last week, and is travelling this week to resume school in Berlin.
Our daughter has an American passport, (not a German visa though), and we know she has access to enter Germany without a visa for short stays up to 90 days. Also, we know that American citizens can update their visas after the 90 days inside Germany.

However, we are a bit in a dilemma right now because a friend in the UK had an experience where their baby (with an American passport) wasn't allowed into the UK with the wife (she had a study visa) on grounds that the mum was in for a long stay whereas the child had access for only a short stay.

Does this apply to Germany for a child with an American passport? How will passport control at Frankfurt treat this situation?

What insight or similar experience do we have on this please?

CC19:
Good morning NL fam
This AM wait hasn't been easy.
AD was 27th August yet it feels like it's been months now, the anxiety is excruciating especially while working with a non-flexible enrollment deadline, but God is in control.
26th to 30th August AD guys, we shall smile and testify this week
AMs would rain soon

Amennnnn

Yes you can.

Please who knows how to go about getting an exemption from german public health insurance as I'm still below 30 and my school has requested for the exemption before I can complete my enrolment.

Thanks

Congratulations!

You can contact uniassist even now. Upload required documents make payments and wait

Uniassist are another set of German bureaucrats that will waste your time of care is not taken.

From time of registration to being sorted out can take 6wks

If your school says you should contact unoassist in March when applications for winter open April. Dey clearly don't know whaahees going on, unless uniassist have your details already.

I called my Hamburg Alien office this morning and the woman was speaking German. After like 30 minute, I tried to call back to ask for an English speaker but the phone has been switched off. I guess the workload in the alien office is much and a lot of people are calling. I guess at the point, I need to have patience since I have enrolled. Have you enrolled?

Not yet.. Mine is Stuttgart..in person enrolment.. When was ur AD n deadline. Mine is 27th/08..

Hi,

From what we have seen this year on the embassy website they will purge their system at the end of March, 2020 to enable winter 20 start booking for appointments from 1st of April, so u could book from that time.

In respect of uniassist application you can't apply for the university in March except their application start in March. If you notice u will see that u can only search for universities in which their application is open on uni-assist, except those universities with vpd as one can get a vpd anytime.

As for blocked Account (BA), admission letter is not required to open such account with fintiba. You can google fintiba.com to open one. Also note that this account can be open anytime. You may decide to open it now or next year. As for me, i opened mine early this year for winter, but the most important warning is DON'T FUND THE ACCOUNT UNTIL YOU HAVE APPOINTMENT DATE with the embassy.

I hope this help.

Cheers!

Slip:
Either of the two is sufficient but this depend on your intended German university. Some accept High court "Certified True Copy" while some accept German Embassy notarized copy. You will need to ascertain the required notarization on your intended university's website.

Cheers!

Many thanks!
