Hello Bro,

Uni-assist will forward ur application to the school if found qualified. But there an issue. Uni-assist sent my application to that school and the school rejected my application after some time. The reason for the rejection is "provide English language test". This school didn't accept EPL. Though I used undergraduate transcripts to apply for the course (International Business), but based on the response of the course coordinator an undergraduate of 60ECT is required to waive the English language test. Nevertheless, the 60ECT thing is not certain as you may be required to provide English language test.

I will advise anyone that want to apply to that school to apply with English language Test.

Cheers!

Kolombo88:
guys with regards to vpd, this is the message on uni assist site about the school i applied HTW Berlin:
What happens after uni-assist has forwarded the application?
uni-assist check the documents according to criteria set by HTW Berlin. They will inform you of the result in writing by e-mail and by post. If all criteria are met they can forward your application to the university. Afterwards your application will be further reviewed by the university. The HTW Berlin itself is responsible for informing on admission.

Do i still have to forward VPD to the school myself or uni assist will do that? as the schools deadline is 30th june and i only just applied on the 14th of june

Hope any of those schools didn't require u to apply directly on their sites with the vpd? If it does then it's too late. But if it's just for Uni-assist to send ur application to them then it's not late. Uni-assist will definitely send it application within the deadline they had with their universities.

Cheers!

Hycent007:
Good evening house, please I applied to 4 schools with uniassist, sent my documents to uniassist 25th May. The deadline for all my schools is June 15th. I am yet to get vpd, my status on uniassist shows submitted online not edited. Please what are my chances of getting admission? I am getting furious. Thank you.

Congratulation Bro!

Is the course restricted one and what german grade u were admitted? Please bro am only asking to boost my own moral too ooo cos all my prefer bachelor courses that i applied is NC, but am yet to get AL yet.

Benfaco:
I just got my AL from university of bremen. 2 AL down more to go. �

Thank you Bro. I have applied to the course last Friday but status is recieved. I hope to hear from them soonest ooo

Sureboii:
It shouldn't be too long because of their admission and enrollment deadline. They just started treating applications last week. But I applied since the end of April. If you upload documents now, you should hear from them before the start of August.

Gud evening Bro,

After you apply and upload documents including VPD on the school portal, how long does it take to see the admission status on their portal?

Thank you

Sureboii:
I'm pretty sure you are applying for Business & Engineering in Wurzburg, I just checked the portal and realized I've been given admission although I haven't seen the letter yet. If you are willing to risk it, I'll say go ahead. My recent application through Uni assist took 2weeks even if the wait time was showing 5 weeks for Africa. You can check the current processing time for Assesment here https://www.uni-assist.de/en/how-to-apply/plan-your-application/deadlines-processing-time/?no_cache=1 But remember you'll still have to upload documents on the portal afterward. So if you're willing to take a late admission, then Yes.

Are you for real! Is it true you are asking this question!

Hmmm

Banky933:
So if one books, gets a date and cancels, how many years ban will that be?

Ha!!! Bro,

You should have done ur research very well before wasting those money. You should find out on these universities sites for previous German grade benchmark for admission before applying for your Msc.

I will advise you also consider going for another degree program. There's nothing wrong for one applying for another degree in Germany. Don't forget Uni-assist and those Universities with direct application will grade u in German grade based on ur first year 9ja cgpa. If you had a higher year one transcripts you should be sure of getting admission.

What's your first year cgpa in 9ja and what course is ur prefer courses?

Cheers!

mboyo:
Bro what about a graduate with a 2.33 cgpa in Business Administration? It's been hard getting AL because they're all pointing out to the low grade. About 11 schools denied me already. I need help I know

Bro, you need to wait till the date of 12 mid-night u book the appointment on the next month. Like, if u book the appointment today being 16th June u need to wait till 12a.m of 16th July before the system will allow u to book again for the certification of documents.

Cheers!

Richy5008:
Hello pls help me out
I initially booked an appointment for certification but due to issues I was not present for the appointment. Nw am finding it difficult to reschedule the appointment. Pls what can I do

I believe this appointment the system is giving is based on ur entered start date. The system consider at least u should get ur visa within a month to start ur studies if there's no delay from the foreign office.

vincechyme:

I salute all the elders in the house.

Please who have idea about University of Stralsund? I have applied on Uni-assist (International Management Studies in the Baltic Region Bsc) but I have been skeptical about the area Stralsund Baltic Region. So am consulting from the elders in the house to kindly share light on this area if it's friendly to foreign students, and particularly if there are job opportunities for students. In general what can be say about Stralsund?

Thanks.

Lolz.... Only typical yoruba man can understand this. For those who don't understand "mayehun" means " do as I say".........lolz....

Deustchemann:
Why do you now want to book an interview, checking scholarship?
What will you tell the VO?
Abi you have mayehun

It's possible to get admission with the grade but that depends on course and school. As we all know some courses are admission restricted while others are not. Some schools are highly competitive than others. You see the screen shot of your converted grade to German below. On these universities websites some even post there previous years NC value (cut off mark in 9ja language) which I will advise you to look out for on ur prefer uni site.

Cheers!

Bros I don't even know you have given a lot details here.

It's only God that reward you taking your time to give one full pack of information.

Thumbnail up bro. You try!

Cheers!

Eldeee:
*Open a block account as soon as possible. There are about four financial institutions approved by the embassy. But pls avoid Deutsch Bank like a plague, unless you want cancel your Waka this year. Their bureaucracy is so annoying. Fintiba has been fun and lovely and happens to be most appreciated for a good number of us. Everything done online and no negative reviews about them since inception. Xpatrio is online too, but we have gotten some negative reviews about them as regards third party issues. And it's even a bit expensive than fintiba on the long run. Coracle just came in new into the fold. No much reviews so far, can't say about their effectiveness if any.

NB : Please note am not a marketer for any of this banks, before you mistake me for doing a marketing campaign. I am just spilling out the beans, cos I know you definitely need to make informed decisions.

* Fund your account immediately with €8640 (Bank charges exclusive) if you have the money available. If not, you can still go to the interview without funding. But make sure you fund your account.

* There's no need for notarization of documents at this stage. All you need do is to photocopy originals of the documents on the checklist for student visa application. Make sure you bring along with you both the original copy and the photocopies as specified on the checklist. You will drop both the originals and photocopies for them of which your originals will be returned back to you when you come to collect your visa.

*You need to book for student visa appointment as soon as possible to enable you get a date for the interview. If you have got a first class or second class upper or lower in your bachelors, together with a masters degree admission, then book for category A. Every information you need to enable you do this is on the German embassy website. If you are confused about anything there, feel free to ask for guidance here, people are always available and ever willing to help.

* Prepare for your interview very well by reading through other people's experience here. You can get examples of such here made available by some kind hearted folks. Hope you will be kind enough to share your experience too for others to benefit after you are done.

* After the interview, if successful, of which you will definitely be at least to a large extent, the consulate sends you what we call Approval mail (AM). They will demand for your travel insurance and your passport for stamping.

* I don't think you need to pay for semester fees from here unless otherwise stated by the school. A good number of schools allow you to come in first and during your registration, you then pay for it. But if your school demands you pay before coming in, they will probably give you instructions as regards how best you can go about it.

Feel free to ask questions here whenever you get confused, but please and please do some little research first, Google should be your friend now, not instagram, twitter or facebook. Please don't come here feeling entitled or expecting to be spoon fed, you will definitely get a doze of lashing if you fail to do the needful no matter what. We always recommend you read through this thread for your own benefit. A lot of tangible information are domiciled here free of charge.

Chai, I don write sermon again ooooo, na wa oooo, just to explain something, two fool scap sheets don finish, Lol. Anyway If I decide to summarize, I think it would not help you to a large extent since you are basically new, as I will be removing so much vital details which will benefit you and others as well.

Hell Pal,

I will advise you to read this thread from the beginning since all u need has already been discussed in detailed. So please read. Readers are leaders. I don't think anyone would list all the step from beginning to the end, maybe I should speak for myself. But it will do you good if u can read from the beginning.

Congratulations on your admission!

Cheers!

Ladyess:
I don't know the next step to take after admission. I don't know where to start from. Which comes first, opening of block account, notarizing my certificates, paying for my semester fees or applying for visa. Thank you

Bro,

Don't stress urself I have been using UPS for this year. They have been very efficient to me. Although some said otherwise. It could be different UPS with different service. Just like a bank branch where u see some branches were more efficient in service delivery.

Therefore, I would recommend you locate UPS office at Ogunlana Drive, Surulere Lagos. It is the only UPS office in that location. You will meet a young lady there. She would give u 20% discount. In short, the amount to send your documents will be #14,100, and your documents will be delivered in 3 working days (max). This is tested and trusted. Pls am not a marketer ooo am just trying to give a vital info too.

Cheers!

Adejare011:
Boss how can i go about this? Cos the DHL office i went to at CMS Bookshop, they said 39,500 naira. infact i got weak. plsss helpp a bro

I guessed the one he paid for is ATTESTATION OF BIRTH at NPC.

The thing is NPC Birth certificate for those who where born at the time is 2k at Surulere office that's if you can negotiate very well. But ATTESTATION OF BIRTH cost 5k within at least 10 days. Some maybe lucky to get theirs within a week. Don't let anybody extort you for fast tracking where they tell u to pay 7500 or 10k as somebody said above.

dailydolar:
NPC is paid for and collected at the spot.

Sup bro,

I noticed you have been trying to mail me. I guessed the question below is what you are trying to reach out to me.

The answer is yes for both Bonn and Fh Aachen University. They accept the EPL but South Westphalia don't accept it for at all for any of their courses.

What course are u applying for, I mean for both Bonn and Fh Aachen?

Glowing1:
Those that applied for BSc in BONN RHEIN SIEG and FH ACHEN pls do these schools accept English proficiency letter?

Also, who knows if south westphalia uni of applied science accepts EPL for their business admin n informatics?

Make una answer me abeg

NPC birth certificate is recognized by most or all embassies hence visit the any NPC office to get ur birth certificate with just 2k.

Somberyl:
If I may ask, I was born 1993 and I have a birth certificate from the hospital. Do I need to worry about NPC certificate?

Oh thank you so much for your response.

Concerning the temporary excluded application I will send a reminder to the school again to confirm what's missing.

Thank you.

Fabcol:
Fulda hasn't started issuing admission. I know two applicants there and they also have not heard from them

"Temporary excluded"- this could mean there is a document or requirement you havnt submitted/fulfilled and have till the deadline to summit. A friend had this status with htw Berlin (happened to be they needed an English exam and he submitted proficiency letter)

Oh thank you so much for your response.

Concerning the temporary excluded application I will send a reminder to the school again to confirm what's missing.

Thank you.

Slip:
Good morning my people.

I have applied to at least 6 schools but none has given AL yet. Though all these courses ( degree in International Business related) were admission restricted.

I have two questions.

First, has anyone applied to Fulda University of Applied Science, I mean if anyone has gotten admission from this school? The deadline of the school application is May 15 but I received confirmation of Uni-assist forwarded application from the school itself. From the confirmation mail it was stated that they needed more time for processing that one refrain in sending any mail asking for status. The school confirmation date is May 27th.

Secondly, is there anyone who have applied to George Ohm Technische University of Nurnberg? My status has bee on "in processing" temporary excluded. Who have successfully received the school direct evaluation report?

Thank you

Thank you for your response.

I have already sent my documents to Nurnberg for evaluation. I stylishly sent a mail for them to confirm the receipt of my documents becos it was somewhere stated on their site that they won't inform if ur documents has reached them or incomplete. After their response of confirmation of receipt of documents I noticed my status started chatting changing. Surprisingly, it has been on temporary excluded in processing this Monday make it 3rd one.

So I want to know if anyone have been evaluated and communicated with the report since they opened their portal May 2. I have again mailed this school to confirm if there's anything incomplete so as to know the reason for the delay in processing, but since 3 days ago they are yet to respond hence my confirmation from anyone here.

As for your question about other institutions I applied via Hochschulestart.de, I also applied to Hochschule Bonn-Rhein Siege (Bsc International Business) with a direct application mode. This school is very fast and straight forward in dealing with application. It is within a day or two my documents got to them they did evaluation, and was evaluated 1.5 in German grade. So anyone who is interested in the course can apply as deadline is July 15.

I also consider Fh Aachen University Global Business and Economics. Upon my mail to the school they confirmed that admission letter will be sent out at early August (First week). They also confirm post mail enrollment.

Thank you.

gentyholar:
Yes, Fulda has not started issuing AL and that is the mail I got too.

As for Nürnberg you need to send the document directly to the school I think after submitting at Hochschulestart.de. That is the reason why you're getting preliminary excluded.

Which other BSc courses did you apply to on Hochschulestart.de?

Good morning my people.

Thanks VINO,

The sponsor is not family but he's my dad's friend. We work in the same organization and he's ready to be responsible for my living in Poland. Since am on tuition free study.

I will also like to reason this, since am on tuition free study, would 5M balance be reasonable enough while over 1M salary is credited to sponsor salary account monthly? It is only accommodation a d living expenses required for me.

Thank you.

VINOMENALXX:
How is the sponsor related to you?
He/she is not family?
In that case, you have to get a letter from a lawyer signed and sealed testifying as a witness that the sponsor is truly the one sponsoring you and he is ready to shoulder the responsibilities throughout your stay in Poland (the sponsor should also say this in his letter)

Hi VINO,

Thank you for your response to my request, but I have been praying fervently for those we do not have a sponsor in their surname. What if that sponsor who doesn't bear same surname get his lawyer with letterhead and write the sponsorship letter signed and sealed, can that not be reasonable too? I don't know am only thinking the feasibility of that, because I can tell u, it is everybody that will be opportune to have a sponsor bearing same name. I quite understand the fact u shared what has really worked for u and I really do appreciate that because it has really given some insight.

Thank you.

VINOMENALXX:
Amen.
1. I really didn't provide any document as evidence of strong ties to my country. Infact all I provided that was mine are : Application form(for my school) , Conditional admission letter, Admission Confirmation letter, Medical certificate (legalized photocopy) , Medical insurance, Waec result (legalized photocopy), Testimonial (legalized photocopy) , Receipt of payment of school fees from the bank, Academic transcript(SS1 and SS2 3rd term results ), letter of introduction, CV, recommendation letter from sec school, Letter of introduction from church, return air ticket and Accommodation letter. (These are the personal documents I submitted all photocopies. DO NOT SUBMIT ORIGINALS cause any document submitted will not be returned ).

******
As an undergraduate and anybody using a sponsor don't need to show evidence of strong ties to Nigeria. That is your sponsor's job.
******
So, like I said earlier, I want you all to please pay attention to this part (The sponsor's part) cause this is the 99% reason why they always deny.
1. Your sponsor must be someone related to you. Father or Mother. (I don't really believe in uncle or aunty because they need to see ties that you are related through your birth certificate and Of course Surname)
2. Your sponsor must have at least 15M or More if he's self employed. Because what the consular wants to see is that they have enough money even after paying for your studies let's say 3M covers your study, there will be 12M left.Don't provide bank statement of 4 to 5M it's a no go area. Please take note. They don't take small amount again.
3. Don't just type any letter and provide it as a sponsor's letter. It must be letter headed with the sponsor's company name or where He/She works and must be signed and sealed by a lawyer(justice of peace). I'll show how a seal looks like
4. This is the most important one. Your sponsor must show CAC (certificate of registration of business with Nigeria) and also show Income tax clearance certificates (in my case, I showed Six years income tax certificates 2012-2017) these serves as ties to your country. You don't need to show land documents in your name or any other properties in your own name or sponsor's name.
5. Submit a colored copy of your sponsor's international passport or ID card. But international passport the best.


If you follow all these steps, with the Help of God I'm sure you'll get the visa.

Feel free to ask more questions..
I think I have helped a little !!

Hi Chuman,

Thank you for your response.

There are some questions I asked in my previous message to you. Kindly look into it and give answer. I requested for the "Employment Promise Letter" from my employer but I was turned down this morning, probably becos they are thinking about legal stand, only them know.

If there is any other hint to boost my chance you can still let me know.

Thank you.

chuman33:
OK. You can get as much evidential proof of support as possible.

Congratulations Bro! The Lord that has done it for you will also do mine. Am also awaiting my appointment date. Kindly assist with answer to these questions below;

1. What documents did you provide as evidence of strong ties with Nigeria, or you didn't provide any, probably just question and answer by the consular.

2. What key question you were at the interview?

3. Is your program study free or paid tuition?

4. Booking on wakanow, was it flight reservation or payment was made for the booking?

Thank you as I expect your kind answers.

Where in Poland are you going probably we might connect when we get there by God's grace.

VINOMENALXX:
I really don't know why people keep saying negative stuffs about POLAND. I just got my visa. A student visa and it was easy.
It was my first time and I got it with help from God cause I know it won't have been possible without him and also with solid and legit documents.
One of the tips I'll just like to drop is If your sponsor doesn't have above 10M in his/her account, it might be very difficult and you should also have documents backing up the business like the CAC, Income tax payment certificate(not just bank statement and sponsor's letter ) Kill them with complete and solid documents.
If you have questions, you can ask and Good luck to whoever is planning on going to Poland.
Believe in God and not the negative remarks on here.
GOD IS YOUR SOURCE

Wow!!! Like seriously you have been helpful with yours responses.

I will try and get the employment promise letter from my current employer. Also, I have an Uncle bearing the same surname with me, he has a completed building property, can I go along with building property documents and claim that I have been managing the property for my Uncle? Can it be part of proof of strong ties with my country? I will gladly appreciate if u make some inquiries and revert. Am a minister in RCCG therefore getting that letter with letter head from the parish priest won't be difficult for me.

chuman33:
I believe you will be needing the birth certificate from NPC as the hospital one mostly isn't viable. I don't think you will have problem in Katowice, just don't keep past midnight in the weekends. Once they get drunk, it's typical of a Polish guy to look for fight, and they mostly fight in group against one. The Visa denial rate is quite discouraging, but let that not affect your resolve. I will do make inquiries before the time of your Visa interview to know if there's anything to boost your chances. Try to learn some basic Polish, get a letter of promised employment after graduation, property management/inheritance, character support letter from your Parish priest/church. If you are Muslim it might count against you, Polish people have undiluted hatred towards Muslims, mostly coz of what's happening in Europe. Hope you understand

I'm going for Bsc in International Business and Tourism in management field. I'm submitting my NECO certificate, Secondary school leaving certificate, National Diploma and Statement of results. I have already booked appointment for 6/11/2018. I have my birthday certificate legalized by MFA but not NPC birth attestation; though am planning to get NPC birth attestation and legalize it at MFA before I go for the visa interview. The university will assist in booking accommodation and it was stated in the letter of acceptance soft copy sent to me (260 euro returnable deposit for accommodation before end of September). Am yet to get travel health insurance and itinerary.

I hope the rate of racism in katowice is not that much.

chuman33:
You welcomed. Katowice isn't a bad city. I believe there's possiblity of getting a student job as they have production/manufacturing companies. Are you going for for Bsc or Master's? Have you gotten visa appointment? What are the list of docs you submitting? Have to know more to see what to advise.

[quoe author=chuman33 post=71089289]
Congratulations on your admission. You did the right thing by requesting your University contact the Embassy. Try to get the written Letter reassuring you of starting your studies at a later date, and also let your University Cc you in the email to the Embassy, print both of them and submit alongside the rest of your application. As for your Passport, you should have selected Ordinary Passport as Service Passport are for high level government services. Not quite sure on this, but surely Ordinary Passport is what is issued to non governmental service citizens. Unless I mistake what you meant. Finally the rate of Polish Visa denial rate is very discouraging, but if you are not paying tuition fees, then you have absolutely nothing to loose in trying. [/Thank you for your responses so far. Please i Know that you are very familiar with Poland, I want to confirm how life is for students in Katowice and the possibility for students to get some support to fend for oneself...]

Hi peeps, I have been given admission to study in Katowice school of economics, katowice. The confirmation letter dated 6/09/2018 was sent to me by mail but the hardcopy is on its way to Nigeria. This program is tuition free as it will be funded by the European Social Fund for 3years.

I have been able to book appointment date for 6/11/2018. Though the school has been written to write the embassy for my late resumption as we know that 01/10/2018 is the resumption date of Unis in Poland.

All my hope is on God for this visa approval.

I want to confirm what kind of passport should be ticked for the visa application as I have already ticked service passport- though I ought to have inquire before filling but I just want to confirm.
