Chynwem:
It will show, I'm also considering going with someone,
what if the ask me what would the person be doing there till I give birth.

You need not worry about your pregnancy showing. Had a friend who was approved with 8months pregnancy during COVID. The most important thing is you being able to defend that you have explored all the support options for you to navigate the graduate school (check the delivery system in your intended state, creches/daycare, during your education. Have you checked with your school to know about the delivery options, and pre-natal care services etc. If you intend going with your husband, thats fine, present him as he will be coming to support you while you study. You may want to have extra funds to cater for yourself too.

Good evening guys please I need an advise.
Got a 3k international commitment scholarship and 4k housing scholarship out of 23k, with possible offer of GA and tuition waiver in the later at WIU.

Also got i20 and admission letter, I have seen people pay for embassy interview despite the closure of the embassy. Is it advisable to go ahead with my interview with this offer or defer? secondly, for those who paid, were dates given and what dates were available.

Thanks gurus for your candid advice.

Business program...I am sure you will see schools that will offer you admission with this score. The important thing right now is to get to work searching for schools. The more you search, the more school you will find, and the more school, the better. This is how it works. Let me know if you have any other question.

@fairheart : baba i have sent countless email messages. please kindly respond

Good morning Guys, I am a newbie here, I have been reading and following the thread. But I need someone to put me through on the stage of filling DS 160. where do I get that please.

thank you.

fairheart:
Subsequent to my former post, you can just secure your I-20 ahead (obtain a soft copy for now), start filling your DS-160 bit by bit, prepare your interview transcript--all done under a huge blanket of HOPE.

But don't pay the visa fee and SEVIS yet. If your passport has expired, renew it now. Don't put off those prerequisites to the interview, except for payment of sevis and visa fee (GTB won't take visa fee from anyone now self).

I have a few students in my DM asking if they should defer. DO NOT defer yet! I advice that you wait till August 10 (based on my calculation) before you defer. By then you'd have known that Fall 2020 is no-no.

If you have a GA and your school is among those universities putting all courses online, you may be required to start your program from Nigeria online. I even have information that some GA works will will be conducted from remote locations. University of North Carolina at Charlotte, for example, is trying to conduct some of its Master's programs 100% online. It may be possible to retain your GA role. Will they pay you? To which account? These are some of the questions I have been asked...

Well, from experience, nobody knows. But consider the possibility of taking your courses online in case your school go with that. Will you do online course? I know it is not lively and interactive as face-to-face in a four-walled classroom.

Well, all the best!

Thanks for sharing your experience mikeval

Mikeval001:
To be honest you will need lot of prayers, believe and patient because it's not easy to get appointment date from the embassy especially on category B.

I was on this journey last year,I got admission in May 2019 for September intake and I applied for appointment unfortunately appointment didn't show till the year ended. I was said and worried and funny thing was that at the time I didn't know much about Nairaland mainly because I have three friends studying in Germany so they were helpful with guidelines but i forgot to put into consideration that a lot has changed since they left Nigeria in terms of appointment date and other things. I funded my block account with Fintiba last year June,when I couldn't get appointment date for September my school decided to defer my admission to March 2020 then I rebook another appointment but still I couldn't get appointment date for category B for March, I could remember vividly that even people on category A then couldn't get appointment date except for people on category A with scholarship, to be honest I gave up and I started working on how to get my money back from Fintiba and to the glory of God I got it back three weeks ago.

Now I'm processing another country but I've learnt and know a lot about Germany so I come here once in a while to give advice and answer questions to the best of my knowledge.

Mikeval001:
For your block account Fintiba is the best,it's very easy to open,less stressful, customer friendly and also offer Insurance but that's if you desire to go with the block account plus Insurance package.

This is VERY IMPORTANT, please don't for any reason fund your block account before get appointment date from the embassy. A word they say is enough for the wise.

Peace!

Thank you bro, please permit me to ask what is the risk involved if an account is funded before an appointment date?

Thank you ifwal for highlighting the update. the update

Ifwal:
Good. But a lot of things has changed. A review would have been better.
The few changes include the amount for blocked account.. It's now 853 Euros per month. Also, the procedure for getting the appointment for interview has changed. You only apply through a link on the Lagos consulate website. Also, you don't need to block your money before getting interview date.

Travel › Re: General-german-student-visa-enquiries Part 8 by Sharonte: 2:48pm On May 22, 2020

The following steps will help newbies (Thanks to CassieV for the tips)

Most of the schools in Germany are tuition free even for international students, you only get to pay a certain amount as semester fees say between 100-400 euros and most times the semester fee comes with a semester ticket to aid in transportation in your city or town.
However, before you're granted a student visa, you have to prove that you can take care of your living expenses with one of the following means ;
1. Block account: The estimated living expenses for a student in a month is 720euros, when you multiply that by 12 months, you get 8640euros. This is the amount you're required to block in an already opened account with either Deutsch bank, Fintiba or Xpatrio. It is called a block account because you will not be able to withdraw everything at once, only 720euros will be released to you every month.
2. Sponsorship letter: If you have a relative living and working legally in Germany, they can get you this letter. They'll have to visit the alien office in their city and will be required to provide some documents and pay a certain fee. The letter will be sent to you when they receive it so that you can go with it for your visa interview.
3. Scholarship: This is usually the best if you have the scholarship, your visa will be granted in under 2 weeks after interview. So try and look for scholarships you can apply to.

Now that you understand the financial situation, let's go into the application process.
To search for schools, click on this link
https://www.daad.de/deutschland/studienangebote/international-programmes/en/?p=l&q=&fos=0&lang[]=2&fee[]=0&sortBy=1&page=1&display=list
filter your search to make it easier, there are English taught courses there.
Generally, the very important documents needed to apply to schools in Germany are;
1. Transcript
2. English Proficiency
3. School Certificates (Degree, Waec, etc)
However, depending on the school, some other documents needed are as follows.
4. Curriculum Vitae
5. Motivation letter
6. Reference letters
7. GRE test
8. Etcetera.. Visit your prospective school website and find out the documents they need from you.
Note: You don't apply with your original documents, you have to make photocopies of them and Certify them in High court or a Notary public. If you stay in Lagos, you can certify at the German Embassy too. You'll have to book appointment for that.
For those planning to go for a Bachelors course, you need a 100level transcript from a university to apply for a BSc program in germany. WAEC alone will not be enough and No, OND will not do, you need a HND.

For the application proper, it is always important to go through the website of the schools you want to apply to, you'll get a lot of information form there concerning how to apply. Some schools do only online applications, some requires that you send your application documents to them by post after applying online, some you send your documents as pdf to their email address and then you get the uni assist crew.
Like I said earlier, it is important to go visit and read the websites.

When you get your admission letter, open a block account immediately(that is if you don't already have a sponsorship letter) and as soon as you get your account details, send an email to the embassy requesting for a visa interview date.
You need these to get an interview date:
1. Admission letter
2. Block account/sponsorship letter/scholarship letter
3. International passport data page(scanned)
Then your Full name and Resident address.

Prepare for your interview
Go for your interview

For newbies your German school search starts here https://www.daad.de/deutschland/studienangebote/en/

Hi my people, i am a newbie here, and i have applied for a masters degree in TUM, Paderborn and POtsdam
Please if you apply to any of these schools, kindly signify and lets connect. I am seeking a masters degree in sports science.
Going through this previous threads, i was able to decode a few abbreviations and catch a glimpse of the process of application but i still needfurther clarifications.

1. I have submitted my application to the schools above via uni-assist and sent hardcopy of my certified documents to uni-assist. But the post master(FEDEX) have been unduly slow for me. i also saw that a number of people have complained about them on the thread,; took over 8days to move mail from to lagos from Akure). the expected delivery is 6th JUne-
Although i uploaded my documents online for UNIassist, would they continue to work with the uploaded documents or they will have to wait for my hardcopied documents before starting my admission process, bearing in mind that it may take 3-6weeks for uni-assist to revert to me?

1b. I would need VPD for my TUM application, considering my postmaster's dilatory response on my mail as stated in (1a) above, should i be hopeful? I am just praying that Uniassist continues with my online documents while awaiting my hardcopy.
2. I noticed that my courses were enlisted in the DAAD scholarship page, how can one be a beneficiary of this application please i need someone to please help me.

3. category A and B is still convoluted for me. please kindly elucidate please.
THanks for your time and response.

Hey guys, do you really need to wait for when embassy opens? There is an option of emergency travel for students, business and health grounds. I think one can explore this option.
Indeed President Trumps speeches these days are scary with an intent of baning H1B visa, OPT, and all, why would one for any reason want to still consider US? It is well.

Anyone who can provide help on how to visa interview question, at least make one dey prepare if they open eventually. or is there a thread for that?
Thanks and looking forward.

Worldtaker:
A lot of people have emailed me. Apologies if I have not been able to reply every body. Let me just give a generic and elaborate answer that can answer @ Sharonte and as many others.

Learning French, is MAJORLY aimed at boosting your CRS scores. If You don't have a Master's/second degree/ 2 or more certificates, no sibling points or to aggravate things you are above 30 and you wanna get PR on time, you CAN'T escape learning French. Even with Masters, if you're above 30, you will still need French. Why? French can give the highest points so ever. If you have B2(CLB7) throughout, you have 42pts, if you max out, you have 54pts. You can also be in between.
So, the journey is simple and complex. Simple, in the sense that, learn French and pass TEF. However, it's complex that it ain't that simple. You will need to know French thoroughly in the the competence levels: LRSW. Secondly, you must understand the system/techniques of passing TEF. You can know French and still not meet up with the required scores.Therefore, you need to get a school either online or offline depending on your choice. I went to an online school and I am proud of the school. I am an alumni of TOBIDAM. Meeting the required scores is not the greatest joy. My greatest joy is that in Canada, I can confidently use it anyhow and any where.
So, you start by learning French, remember to expedite your time, not everyone that knows French can impart French and not every French teacher understand the TEF system. A French teacher/ francophone that doesn't understand the TEF system can still fall short of CLB7 in each module. So, get a good French school and the rest will fall in line. Read harder than hard. You will get tired along the way, but don't give up. Eyes on the GOAL.

Peace!!!!

Merci Monsieur
I contacted tobidam, but their fees is huge oooo.
