Filling the account opening form with a pen doesnt mean anything cos it would still be accepted. I filled mine that way.
@Ibk 1010 its no big deal...i suggest you just do as you were asked, print out a fresh copy, fill and sent to them by post (dhl will be better cos it is fast and to avoid any further waste of time), rather than sitting down there and wondering what the issue may be...there is no time to lose, so you could move over to the next stage

Eke40seven: Formatted?
In response to this guys please help clarify; did any body fill the block account form using handwriting?
Was there any problem encountered using it?

@Ibk1010, I hope you didn't send photocopies?
Did you send original copies of your documents required or at least coloured prints?
May be the problem could arise from any of those.
Compare the documents you submitted with that of other people who had completed theirs successfully, I think that will help you address the problem.
Hope you find it helpful.
Good luck!
Abeg guys, help out here. God bless you as you do.

Ofcos...very very. Your application is on the right track, isnt that obvious. Just show alittle bit more patience like they asked you to, i am sure you will get it

Quadri001: i received an email from the embassy barely 2hrs after my interview that I should send the confirmation of payment into my Deutsche act to complete my application and this morning I received an acknowledging email of receipt of that email and that I should be patient with them while they process my application.

so guys I want to ask is this the way it usual is and dose that mean all is well with my application?

I funded my account long before my interview o...enrollment deadline is 27th oct

segadebayo: when did you transfer your funds. Also when is your enrollment

I have waited about six weeks now since after my interview, and i am thinking of contacting them....

jaydaniels: hi guys, im new here, but not new in d student visa processing thing. I had my interview last month. its been more than 3 weeks since my interview, and I haven't heard from the consul. is anyone here also experiencing same? also, who is going to oldenburg or bremen??

damsamty16: When is your date?

Hey, i have gone for my interview, last month...waiting for a response from them. With regards to the date thing, they sent me a mail after a week saying that they didnt get my mail, i wrote to them using another of their email address i got online. They then asked me to resend my application

yapyap: Have anyone received appointement since thursday? Cos I was expecting the embassy to at least reply my mail today!

I got my date after two weeks of waiting...

phucado: These people never send me any mail o since I send them my confirmation of blocked account funding o. I don to interview which was okay. They asked me to fund the account and that's what I have done. I don't know why they've not sent an acknowledgement letter since.

A friend of mine wrote to the embassy asking if they could shift her date forward but they declined. Anyway, i suggest u try, the true it is...there is no harm in trying. Yours is a genuine concern and the time frame you have is quite short. Explain everything to them in writing.

naijaobi: Good day house my interview is on 16th september and enrollment starts on 22nd to 26th september inmy school.
Do I contact the embassy to shift my date forward? Or do i leave it that way?

lacuna: JULY 7, 2014: my second interview

Narrowly escaping the wrath of the Ibo Man, I arrived the Consulate at about 9.45am. After due checks and handling formalities, i was ushered into the premises and was directed to the reception straight up. Noticing it was another woman who manned the reception, i felt a little agitated as I was already familiar with the black chubby woman. I handed her a copy of the mail which rescheduled me for the second interview and took my seat amongst a couple of others who were already waiting.

In less than ten minutes, my name was announced and i was ushered into the inner room. wow!!! Standing right at the door to escort me upstairs was this beautiful, amiable, lovely young lady. She was full of smiles, her countenance was so friendly and accommodating. she was a complete contrast from the old lady, this experience was a total departure from my first.

She welcomed me warmly and unbelievably, called me by my names. She then motioned by hand gesture and i trudged along while she moved behind me as we walked upstairs into her office. At this point, I knew Oluwa was involved. Did we have an interview? No! It was a conversation, a sort of interaction, a tete -a-tete between two friends. Oh God, she was just too nice. why can't all humans be like her!!! she said to me succinctly, that the reason i was invited was to clear whatever doubts they had about my intentions to undertake my Masters Degree studies in Germany and encouraged me to relax and just give my best. I nodded affirmatively and enthusiastically, too.

I remember vividly that the first set of questions she asked revolved around my sponsor. she wanted to ascertain the relationship between myself and my friend, why he was sponsoring me and basically wanted to establish if there was any real connection whatsoever between us. she asked when my friend left to Germany, why he left, where he worked, etc. Oh boy, I was fully ready so i just took time to discharge. She kept nodding, smiling and urging me on as i responded, there could never be any better motivation. God bless her heart. she is too kind to be human.

We talked about my school, courses i will be studying in the programme, the structure of the programme, my plans after the programme,etc. For me, the highlight of the interview was when she asked why i chose to study in Germany, hmmmm, by the time i finished eulogizing Germany, nna mehn, see as this woman dey laugh scatter, dey nod head. She was just so impressed. Infact, i remember that at a point, she told me to slow down so she could type those things without missing out important details. In less than twenty minutes, we were done.

At this point, she turned fully from her computer facing me and said reassuringly, `you did very well'. She told me she was going to recommend the issuance of my visa and advised i shouldn't bother myself that the interview was good and that my visa would be issued in two weeks time. I was so thrilled that i didn't want to leave her office, lol. We talked back and forth and it was a wrap. As i stood up to leave, i shook her hand warmly and thanked her effusively and stepped out. She walked me downstairs! wow!!!

JULY 22, 2014......ANOTHER MAIL INVITING ME TO THE CONSULATE. WHAT AM I EXPECTING? TO BE CONTINUED

A detailed experience of the first interview just like this would do...we wanna know why it was bad. U only said it was bad. Congrats on your success tho

mayya: Hello house, I did my blocked account opening in abuja. And no slip was given. I sent the documents myself. Now do I have to wait till the bank sends my account details b4 I can book a visa appointment ? Please what should I do

U have nothing to worry about. I did mine at abuja and got my account details in less than a week. U would be fine. Hope u sent it through DHL or any other fast delivery service?

lacuna: well, like i said i will make out time to share my personal experience here,i know it will go a long way in encouraging others. I had my first interview on June 20,2014. The old woman conducted my interview and it just wasnt funny at all. All my life,as in,in my entire life,i have never met a woman so unfriendly. The interview lasted for about fifteen minutes and the moment i walked out of her office,i knew it was going to be negative obviously because, i performed very poorly at the interview. I just didn't prepare,my job took all my time as i had so much tobdo within that period plus, i was too confident owing to the fact that i cannot say i have flopped at any interview.

July 7,i got a mail requesting i come to the consulate. At the reception,the black chubby woman who eventually became friendly on my interview day after her initial gragra asked why i didnt come with an insurance policy,i told her i wasnt requested to besides,my sponsorship letter came with a German Insurance Policy. She said she was worried for me,that it wasnt going to be a good one.

In less than twenty minutes after,the old woman showed up,i was called and my original documents were handed over to me accompanied by a rejection letter which she insisted i sign. Somehow somehow, i didnt feel too bad for reasons i still cant explain. when i checked the rejection letter,the reason stated was 'doubts as to my serious intention to study in Germany'. . . .

To be continued

Actually, i have read about people whose interview didnt go too well but still got what they wanted. Was your initial interview that bad? and how did you go about the second?

nevilbot: I dint get any mail from d embassy yestday o, I'm getting scared!!!!

I dont think you would get an email now since you just did your interview. It would take like 2 weeks or more. I stand to be corrected tho...no need to worry, just believe in God to do it for you

lacuna: I am talking from a personal experience. I will share it here very soon, everyone needs to understand that these Visa officers neither hate nor like you. Matter of fact, they are strict about STANDARDS AND PROCEDURES. Meet those standards and follow the procedures duly and no one can deny you your visa. If i got my visa even after an initial rejection, then anyone can!

what really was the reason for your initial rejection after u went for the interview @lacuna. What reason did they give u. Could u please tell us?

[quote author=reecky]How would u know if u are going to be approved or denied visa house? After the interview i mean?
