Clinton!
It seems to be real. The same error was in my former appointment mail..
The only difference is that dot.. But other errors you pointed to are not irregularities.
But why did they leave we with cancelled appointment and give appointments to new people?
They promised to give us new date

Pls who has any info about the winSim stuff.. We need to be sure the message is real..

Stiflersammy:


Which other appointment email?
Let us see it

Compare it with this one.
Below is my appointment I got in March

For those of you pointing out irregularities on the email I dropped. Take a look at this one that was given before the corona virus.

Does having a testAS score above 100 qualify a student for category A ? I really need info on this. Danke

its a test u take as a foreigner to know your level of understanding, more like a gre test, but it is majorly used by the embassy to know if u r academically sound enough to be given a study visa.

Been hearing the working hard since oo every time working hard, they should at least give us a date so we can plan accordingly...it's 4 months not enough ? The federal government should do the right thing.

So its just now they have decided to set up a committee. What have they been doing since?? And I wonder how long it will take the committee to come up with the new protocols and date.

Let us be hopeful the ban would soon be lifted. The present phase has been extended by just 1 week, so the new easing down would be by August 8. I think this committee was setup to come out with modalities before then.

Let us not even forget that the truth remains these people are affected more than we are, I mean the aviation industry as a whole

Not any more.

You're very funny!
You want to tell the school to change your course of study to one that requires your presence.. Lol!
Are you really passionate about the course you're going for or you're just looking for a means to get to Deutschland?
Anyways, deferment means you waiting for next winter 2021 to start your program.. It's a good option if your school can permit such and if you can wait..

Lol!!

[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.

I think it is exclusively for scholarship applicants.
I have seen another person claiming they got appointment through mail booking

Can you at least confirm this with a screen shot it will go a long way in helping us understand something, did they rebook?

Thereality19:

Pls, kindly help us get a screenshot. We need to also know if the person re-booked.
If you can't get the screenshot, help us ask the date scheduled for the appointment.

They recently booked for appointment using the mail booking . I didn’t ask for screenshot as i am not a scholarship student and even if they were been untruthful, i see no reason why they will be informing me about it .

These whole thing is getting on my nerves

Pls calm down Sir/Ma,
You asking them is helping many of us here who really depend on such evidences. I'm also a scholarship holder, I had an appointment earlier and when the embassy cancelled it, they promised to send a new date which hasn't been sent.
That's why I need to know if your friend re-booked or just booked for the first time..
Pls and pls, your enquiries will help alot of us.. Don't be offended
