You still don't have an appointment?

mysticlover:
Is your course starting in summer semester?
Also, was it through the consular portal or the old appointment website?

a

Thank you

Froshloaded:
Yes, it has been discontinued for the regular MSc, you can take your dependants with you if you are enrolled for postgraduate level 9, mres and phd.

Thought this dependent visa for students had been discontinued?

sakieja:
Thank you so much for your input.its spouse stuff.the main Applicant which is a student arrived uk last week.we could have process the two together but for some reason we couldn't.we decided to apply this week for the spouse which is her dependant

Don't. It's still the same system.

i registered on february 11th that is on tuesday, in the email there is a link i can click to cancel the registraton, i think i shoud do that sice the consular potral website is what peeople use now, what do you think?

Don't be silly. She's either an OS who went to see a client or she went to cheat. Knowing that you guys are always talking over the phone, this is the only way she could safely play her game without much suspicions.

Goodmarlian:
I think this girl will be very manipulative,we just dated for months met her in January, I have not forgiven her yet but I will eventually forgive but if she tries it again I have vowed to end the relationship.

People's husbands

From low-level men who worship anything in skirts. This is why most girls feel every man is their equal because they have men older than you worshipping them. Why else would a 300-level student be so irritated that a lecturer tapped her to get right of way when she was clearly obstructing his passage?

EmperorCaesar:


Where do women get their audacity from?

Generally speaking, its harder for a guy to insult an elderly person, not to even talk of hitting them their faces, regardless of what might have transpired between them

Aristotle said honor makes man more noble than animals...Humans that struggle to honor others are worse and lower than Pigs

So I contacted the consulate and was told to just fill the form and relax that they would still consider CAT A from the documents and etc provided.

Which means that they'll have to check all docs first to determine who falls where, which is way more stressful than simply asking everyone to select an option for their category whilst registering so that the system does the sorting. Well, we shall see.

pineapplejuice:
Yeah, my guess is that they'll use your documents to assign you to Category A.

Yes, I imagined that too, but then there's no question on class of degree (remember class 1 was also Cat A)

pineapplejuice:
I believe either they or the system makes that distinction based on the answers in the entry form - as you are asked if you are doing a PhD, scholarship or whatever.

This is what they say, but while registering, there aren't such distinctions

pineapplejuice:
Starting from now, all new applications are done via the consular service portal, both cat A and B. In the online application, there is the category for Category A (Study – Specific qualifications) and Category B (Application (Language Course) or
Study Regular). That's why there isn't Category A or B on the appointment website anymore.

Thank you

Hannania:
National visa applications are handled at the consulate in Lagos.

Please, how are northerners supposed to apply now? I'm confused because when I go to the digital portal, my state is attached to Abuja and there's no online application option for states under Abuja. Also, the portal for appointments in Abuja clearly states "NO VISA", so if the intention is to get a visa, we can't apply there. I've tried to reach the Abuja office with no luck.

Hannania:
Jaeima is right, they do. Just try as much as possible not to laminate your original documents. That's because they're need to "feel" the seal for documents that have such. There are embassies that request that you remove the lamination. In this case, it most times leads to tear

Thank you

mysticlover:
Well for category A, you upload certain documents and fill forms that’ll place you on the waiting list to submit your application for visa. I think once you’re notified to proceed with your application, you can then upload the remaining documents which after examination, they’ll give you an appointment date or tell you documents that are missing. This is what I got from the consular portal…

Thank you. Was just surprised they didn't ask if Cat A or B while filling the form, and Cat B too has been removed from the old site. Also, do you upload documents before you can be invited to submit application?

mysticlover:
They still are just that Cat A application is on the new consular website. Although the waiting time says 1year I doubt that is the case but we can’t tell yet has no one has gotten an appointment date yet since the launch of the website. I applied ending of January and I’m still on the waiting list to send my application. So we’re looking towards 4 weeks waiting time which is the normal period for waiting when applying through the former website. By March, if no email to submit application then we can know what next….

I don't understand what's going on on the new visa application portal. Seems they're no longer giving preference to Cat A?

A

Thanks, later found it.

mysticlover:
Cat A application is now done through the online consular portal. Just search for the consular portal online and you’ll see it

I just tried to book an appointment, but I couldn't find the link for CAT A, only Cat B. What's changed, please?

I lost my WAEC certificate to a disaster. Can I present a printout of the digital copy for the interview?

I lost my WAEC certificate and have since been using the digital certificate. I hope this won't be an issue during visa interview?

Ah! What happens to someone who has lost his real certificate?

freedomtours:
No

Thank you. This is such a relief.

Hannania:
They just need your CV and motivation letter. If they need "proof", they'll request for it. That's very unlikely

Please, how are we expected to show proof of all we've been doing till the appointment time? This is something I've been trying to get because I've been basically self-employed, but that's not what I put in my CV, so I don't know if they need employment letters or payslips.

Hannania:
They don't care about that. Go through the study checklist, they stick with that

Thank you, it appears I have all I need. Maybe my language was misleading.

I see a primary school certificate. I've never imagine that one for an MS. Thank you again.

jaeima:
An affidavit of change of name is an additional requirement to prove your point. It does not stand as a birth certificate/age declaration.

An age declaration is needed where a birth certificate is missing or vice versa per the requirements.

I suggest you look up the visa checklist.

My names ain't arranged the same on all my documents, so I swore an affidavit stating that they're all for the same person. Is this all I need to do?

Also, will an affidavit suffice where there's no birth certificate?

Thank you

oyinkel:
Yes, but the nature of proof of fund varies for different states. You maybe required to show a bank statement that reflects the amount of money needed (In this case you can get people to send money into your account until it have a balance that correspond to the needed sum, print the statement and return their money) or just have a job contract. But some foreigner's office would require that you reblock the account.

The oga patapata of them all is for someone to do a declaration of commitment "Verpflichtungserklärung"....in which case you can even ask for a two or three years residence permit extension at once.

Acquaint yourself with the peculiarity of your jurisdiction and plan accordingly.

Please, is it true that the residence permit is only valid for a year and we need to show proof of fund again to extend it?

Some people misconstrue stupidity for bravery. One of my lecturers back then would always advise against arguing with any armed person.

drehdinho:
And the man was still waiting their arguing with a harmed person.

That's not sensible.

Anybody applied to Trier here? How did you send them the €70? Also, I saw online that WAEC to German grade follows the order A = 1, B2 = 1.7, etc. Is this correct, please?

Please, how do I convert my WAEC grades to German 1-4 stuff for uni entrance exam?
