I was at the embassy this morning in the guise of certifying some document hoping to get more information on AD. The last time I sought for advise from NLs concerning a category A booking since 10th of Dec with enrolment deadline of Feb 25th. My question then was if AD, visa etc is still feasible within the short period. Most here on NL suggested that I cancel and rebook.
The lady who attended to me for the certification also confirmed that it's unrealistic that I must cancel and reschedule since I now have another AL with deadline in April.

Just trying to narrate my experience and not to discourage anyone.

Thank you and let's hope they fix this AD issues on time.

So have you rebooked and what's your new start date?

Meaning what they gave you is a conditional admission and you have to meet up with that condition within the stipulated time, I won't say am suprised at their action. some of the courses in that school is so serious that even the black guys there don't work except on weekends
and during the holiday, i know one person who is a friend and always complaining about how the modules are not flexible. I would advise you write to them to clarify the required sum because that would mean you blocking up to €20k, notify them of what the embassy requirement for a blocked account is in your country and await their response. While at it bro, look for another school because people there are very serious minded academics and the University is on track to be one of the best in Germany.

Would yoube kind enough to mention these countries you talk about
Energygod:




You're a wise man
To those following Coldie or whatever his name
You are just wasting your time cus nothing you do or say will change what the embassy has planned to do
Not even reaching out to whatever ambassador

The embassy is autonomous and doesn't answer to Nigerian ambassador to Germany.

Coldies suggestion will even frustrate you more than what is currently happening.

Not to kill anyone's spirit
But the close of a door might be the opening of another I know how you all must feel and I feel the same way after investing so much time and money to no avail but please don't be so blinded by what's going on and forget other chances of leaving this country that doesn't have anything to offer. I wish all of us the best at the end of the day just pray to God that whatever step you take let it favour you in the long run.

Try those countries that are now easy to enter
Because later on they too might close up. Don't just wait for Germany and keep applying every summer and winter only to meet disappointment.

Good afternoon my country people.

Hi guys, i've been following this thread for a while now
I would like to ask the house what they think about doing german taught masters program because i've done a lot of research and yes i know they are a lot of english taught masters available but i read that it is gonna be difficult getting a job in germany after unless you have a very good knowledge of german(which is what the german taught program forces you to do)
in addition the german taught programs are open admission i.e there is no gpa requirement for entry even for the top universities, this is actually my main reason because i finished with a 2.2 in mechanical engineering.

Secondly i would like to know how long(realistically) it would take to get my german level to b2 or c1 and the cost involved

I have already gone for the appointment in December 2019 and the vo told me she can accept my documents because my block accounts Money is not complete.
So I went back home with my documents.

getting C1 ain't child's play, with a year and 6 months u can achieve that feat that's with dedication non stop, that's if u are starting from scratch, a year and six months baby don't big, learning German is great, but I will advice u to apply for English program while u can, and learn German simultaneously, when u get admission u can continue learning over there, and before you are done, u would have achieved C1.

Re: General-german-student-visa-enquiries Part 8 by dollypeeee: 12:46am On Jan 28, 2020
I want to use this medium to implore us to always do the right thing. We just don't know who might be watching.
The Embassy as a diplomatic mission must surely have a plan they wish to accomplish with the CATEGORY booking and it is our responsibility as applicants to abide by it . As unfavorable as it may look for CAT B applicants, I want to believe that since they are not exclusively excluded from applying and the fact that the embassy even gave an opportunity to improve from the category through TESTAS shows their are not left out. Maybe there's a quota at play.

But growing up as a Nigerian sometimes makes us think we are being owed explanations to almost everything especially from bodies representing saner climes. Our government has not explained why we still can't have stable electricity in 2020 and no one has suggested nor implemented a plan to kukuma destroy all the generators or plants used in state houses, federal ministries etc to see if things will change. But instead we demonstrate an impeccable spirit of patience with the hope that e go better. In 2018, the American Embassy denied a scholarly friend who had secured a full scholarship from a renowned university in the US after scoring very high in GRE and IELTS and a host of other Skype interviews with his potential faculty. This denial was allegedly based on their usual pretext " no strong ties"... What other ties do you expect from a fresh 1st class graduate in his early 20s. According to him, he was not even asked to show his scholarship letter nor other important documents. Questions like are you married or do you have kids have become more important for someone who's going to study. The application for study visa for the US seem to even involve more money and time, you're compelled to write IELTS, GRE in most cases, pay for application fee, SEVIS fee, visa fee and just in a couple of minutes with the V/O, you're handed over rejection for no logical reason. Still the aggrieved didn't suggest spamming the US sites ( their site is too controlled to even entertain that). How many have written to the US embassy or the ambassador, has anything changed ?

Germany on the other hand made theirs accessible, we gain admission with little effort. Most of us even dodge uniassist schools just because of application fees, we dodge schools that request for IELTS etc. In addition to their sophisticated and open approach we don't pay visa application fee in advance. Yet, to show just little faith in the process, some are devising evil plans. Some of us who are privy to how the German application works in the past will tell you that is it a near perfect system. No issue with AD allocations whatsoever. Denials are very few. Since the turn of 2019, the number of applications they receive skyrocketed, they need to improvise. To come up with plans that'll separate those who are truly ready from the fill-ins. How many of us here know in the past that you can go for interview without BA or SL and the embassy will wait till you successfully completed the BA or sent them your SL. But instead we use our usual prejudice as Nigerians to distort real process before it even begun. Some of us have started seeing German visa as entitlements to the extent that they're willing to block the chances of others if it doesn't work for them. This is what has characterize the black mind since the beginning of time. This is exactly the kind of greediness that our ancestors entertained that made them sell their brothers to slave trade. How people result to these ideas still baffles me.

We all want a Nigeria that make sense yet cannot follow a simple due process. We call ourselves future leaders of this great Nation yet acting already like her present foolish and greedy leaders.

I am not against writing the embassy or the ambassador for intervention, but we must understand that the embassy is an embodiment of Germany in Nigeria and has autonomous right to do whatever it pleases. It serves as a legal border between Germany and Nigeria and thereby shouldering (in part) the responsibility of determining who they let into their country.

I can assure you that our complaints and mails arere being received and just because changes are not forthcoming does not mean they're not being acted upon. So please while we're trying not to fold our arms, don't let us overdo things as well. We read the instructions on the German website and we're willing to take our chances, that's why we proceeded. So why do we suddenly want to change half-way. Don't let us make another US out of Germany who'll probably give thousands of appointment dates and consequently thousands of visa denial (laughs). The German embassy is open everyday and people go for interviews everyday. A vast majority may have been the "audio" applicants who used dummy details. See how we are shooting ourselves in the leg. Some might even argue that they can increase the number appointments and work extra hours or have more interview points. Remember they hold the exclusive right to controlling how many Nigerians they let into their country. Because we don't control our population and check our borders for those who we let in does not mean other countries should not.

Please NLs, let's endeavor to follow the process. Let's be advocates of fairness and justice. Let's allow both foreign and domestic authorities to do their job. Let us all have one application and exercise patience with it. And most importantly let's be our brother's keeper.

Thank you and God bless
