How can I convert my money to Euro at the best exchange rate. What's the best bank to use?.

GRACEYS:
Good evening everyone. Please a friend of mine needs help. He is going to Paderborn while his fiancée also has admission to a different school (Bremen). They had planned that their wedding would be after their visa interview if not for the itch and delay in getting appointment dates. Now their wedding will be 2 weeks earlier before their interview at the Consulate (due to late appointment dates). The problem now is that they don't know whether to appear for the interview as singles or as married. They want to know the pros and cons. Even me I don't know so I told him I would help him ask here. What should they do please?

They wrote 10days not 10 working days so i counted 10 straight days. Thanks

Seeyat:

Monmarri:


Are you the one that will sponsor your self? If yes have enough money for the trip. If someone else will sponsor get all details including statement of account.

If you will stay with a relative let them send letter of invitation for you.

Dahyormine:
Nice tips... what about someone in the late 20s going for another Bachelor, does the age matter or not?

Goztino:


How will they ruin your life and future by mere sleeping with you? Maybe you mean ruining your life with STD.
Because if actually she sleeps with you and at the end didn't end up with you, it's not a big deal.
Even in Nigeria, everyone doesn't end up in marriage with who they sleep with.
Some people might just feel like having an international sex with no strings attached. It's norma

Hi guys, Long Post Alert !!!

Sorry for the long silence. Man gats hustle, study and make some cheddars. You know, money makes the world go round, but still one has to be careful cos the same money is the root of all evil.

Now, as promised I want to drop some experience about dating here in DE. I want to use this medium to appeal to everyone that this is just MY OPINION and personal experience here in DE.

First, everyone would probably need either a Romeo or Juliet at some point in life. This is normal ! I heard at the earliest stage in DE that most Germans respect blacks alot and when they see one, they regard us as Black American and before you know, the flows and likeness comes into play. but these days, that opportuinty has vanished into thin air as they mostly see blacks as opportunist thanks to our African Brothers who chase these ladies towards papers. Truth is an most western lady (German, American, Austrian, etc) either blows hot and in most cases very hot or cold/extremely cold. Reason best known to them. I think its because of the cultural differences between us, hence the reason why we could not withstand these differences. You could be dating a white lady and you guys could have a lil misunderstanding and within the twinlke of an eye, she can ask you to leave even in the middle of the night, she doesnt care! and if you refuse to leave, she could call the Police. so as omo boy, you go just bounce to avoid stories. Moreso, if you end up dating the strict ones and she understands english, she could command you not to speak any other language apart from english or German. But because of the fear of loosing her and the advantages accrued with dating her, you´ll bow to her demand.

These and many more which inlcudes food, Religion, lifestyle (Party, smoking, clubbing,) etc. The big question is: are you ready to tilt towards the differences because of paper? when a black dates a German she faces alot of criticism from her colleagues. They criticize them so much by saying to him/her Jokingly that "You´re dating a black guy/girl right, dont worry he´ll impregnate you, get the papers from you and dump you for his African woman" and truly, this is what the african guys do alot because we cant get controlled by a lady for the rest of our lives.. so, after getting the papers they file for divorce and go for the real African woman. When these happens, the news spread easily like wildfire and the caution/hatred spread also. If you want to marry a German, you´ll go through some series of verification which could span across months. If you impregate a German without marriage, my brother be ready to pay through your Nose. You´ll be asked to pay a certian money (Around 800€) for verification from your country of origin to proof that you don´t have a child/family back home. after this verification is complete, you´ll pay your child and Baby mama a certain percentage from your monthly salary. So lets assume you earn 1200, you could end up with 520 at the end of the month or even less cos your Renten(Pension) and Insurance will increase while your Taxes will reduce because you have a kid. Even though, you are registered as a father to a German child, Yet it doesn´t translate to getting permanent paper immediately. Most foreign office will give you 3 years at first, and if you don´t err in taking care of the mother and kids, then they give you permanent residency. But during this three years, you´ll be at the mercy of your baby mama cos any report from her... He don set be that. so you´ll be as humble as a lamb.....! Also, you have to keep working to sustain the support and during this process, school will heavily suffer cos you have to make so much in order to keep up with Bills and life.

The same scenario is applies to ladies as well. But not as extensive as in the case of guys. You just need to find someone who understand what it means to be inter-racial lovers. I have a girl around me thjough who keeps complaining about a German guy she´s dating. she said the guy is unpredictable and most times, he doesn´t want to even see her around him. Like I said earlier on, both guys and girls face heavy criticism from their German colleagues because of experiences from the past or from what they´ve heard or seen. Even the blacks born here will hardly give you a chance cos most of them are already soaked into the german system and culture. So when you approach, they give you alot of conditions and my brother, these conditions no be here. (Not in all cases though) so they tend to me very careful.

Pros of Marrying/dating a whity:
1) Your status gets changed... You´re given between 3-5 years at first, then Permanent Residency follows
2) You get unlimited work permit
3) Your woman gets Kindergeld and Muttergeld from the Government (Assuming you´re not working)
4) Fastest way to get PR (if responsibilities are taken and met)

Cons Marrying/dating a whity:
1) You face emotional, psychological and at times physical torture
2) Your studies could suffer
3) Cultural differences
4) Be ready to withstand the awkward look when you´re pushing around a white baby in the Kinderwagen
5) Your dietary could change because with Bread, cheese, Currywurst and maybe Beer, these guys are OK.
6) They tend to look older than their age (My observation though) etc


There are other nationalities though that are not as strict as the Germans... The Poles, Czech, Romania, Bulgaria, etc but if we have kept our house (Nigeria) in order, We are better than these countries. They are just better because of the affiliation with EU. (My opinion)

My advise to anyone who has a stable partner (Stable means there´s a commitment and/or legally binding) is to hold on to it and keep communication open. dont because of "I am going abroad" end a fruitful relationship. It could hunt you such that you may regret it. Most especially if you have a hardworking partner, The sky will be your limit because opportunities are boundless here.

Pros of Bringing your partner (Student):
1) You understand each other
2) You eat your favourite continental dishes.
3) You can jointly train up your child without cultural clashes.
4) You both work and save to have a better future
5) You support each other in times of need
6) No/few religious, Cultural, Lifestyle differences etc

Cons of Bringing your partner (Student):
1) You don´t get a permit immedaitely which means your child depends on the parents status. But if one of the parent gets a PR, everyone gets it as well.
2) Your child doesnt get Kindergeld (Depends on cities though) but If your partner comes via Family reunion, the mother gets mutterGeld while the child gets Kindergeld
3) Your status stays and your partner will have to find a way to take care of the family.

You could also bring your GF/BF if you can vouch your church mind for him/her. **

My verdict: The German Government has given us the opportunity to experience world class education at a great price. Lets not abuse this opportunity. Also, The German Government has made residency kinda easy to get.. Finish your studies, during your study period, try and attain German B1 with a corresponding certificate, Apply for a job (There are jobs everywhere), work for 21 months, File for your permanent residency. #Lobatan. Its sounds/looks hard but its doable. I have lots of guys who are on this path. If they can do it, you can do it. The ball is in your court to decide what you want. According to the Bible Micah 6:8

In all, if you think you are mentally ready for inter racial dating, you can go for it. I decided to write this as a Benchmark. The above are just scenario you could experience while dating a westerner. Its a 2 edged sword thingy.

PS: This is my OWN Opinion/Observation.

My english these days sef.. German don kaputt my sentence construction

Adhheir:
I'll be reposting this till April 1st when winter applications should be on for many schools... If you'd like to send your documents from lagos to Uni-assist through DHL and mitigate costs...send me a PM, from now till April 1st. 5 people were able to send their documents for just 29K...that's 6K and it got there in 3 days.

Let's mitigate costs bitte! After all one cannot attend more than one University.

seyipeters:


Thanks bro. Like when should one look forward for enrolment deadline. I'm in my final year here and I want to do a fresh bsc but schools are even on strike here.
And do you know if hamburg accepts letter of proficiency ?
Finally, are you in hamburg ?
Thanks

johnmattew:
I went to make enquiry about form A in 2 banks,zenith and first bank today.suprisingly, zenith bank said form A exchange rate is 347 per euro while first bank said 407.both banks are located in Ikeja......I thought form A rate were equal

Kenechill:

I disagree with you. So people should lose admissions because of being considerate
A lot of people lost winter admission last year cos their school didn't extend the deadline. Imagine if they had booked in anticipation.

Life generally is survival of the fittest. The embassy people that made these online booking available did it for situations like this. So you won't need an admission letter to actually book. Saves a lot people the pain of losing admission.
They provided the option of email for those who already have admission. U can use that my dear
But saying people are inconsiderate is unfair

flouxpar:


Please if I may ask, how long after this, on an average, can one expect the visa?

Opinionator:
Whether you've gotten admitted or not, just book an appointment. They only ask for passport number and email address. You should have gotten your admission letter before the appointment date. Worst comes to worst, you cancel a week before.

Dutch2018:
Hello my good e-fam,
I applied for Visa interview since Last year for winter semester.
My document is still at the embassy.
The foreign office responded to my last mail that embassy will soon contact me.
My problem is that the semester will end this week. Though the school said I can transfer some credits.
Will I have issue at German immigration on arrival as they may say that the semester is over?
Will my last year enrollment be accepted or they will need additional document?

Secondly, my supervisor in the office got a Visa for PhD in Berlin but I noticed that the flight she booked is Dusseldorf instead of Berlin.
She said her in law lives there and she wants to spend some time before heading to Berlin.
Will that not cause problem for her?


I don't know if I read correctly, some people say you should just head directly to school before branching. I was telling her she should have booked to Berlin and use train to Dusseldorf.
What do you guys think?

Please no vex if the question is childish

chidexwap18:


This was exactly what I did

Subject: APPLICATION FOR STUDENT VISA

Name: fill in your names as in your international passport

Place: fill in your address

Kindly find attached

Then you attach your admission letter, Front page/Data page of your international passport, Proof of finance (which is either your blocked account or sponsorship letter)

Yeside20:
Please house, my third name on my birth certificate and my admission letter is different from the one on my international passport and all other docs

Will it have any negative effect during my interview?

I stopped using the third name on my birth certificate and started using another one which is on all my documents + intl passport.

The only reason I used it for the application was because the asked for birth name so I put my name exactly as it is on my birth certificate.

If it does have a negative effect - I have a photocopy affidavit from court stating the name belong to the same person. I used the original a while ago. Would I need to get a new one or that will suffice?
