Hello house! I'm facing a serious dilemma on my visa application. I'm confused on whether to withdraw my application or just let the Almighty take charge.

I went for my winter visa interview on the 5th of Nov(i was lucky to get a date). On getting there, the VO asked me to submit an extension letter. I told her i'll liase with my program coordinator to issue me one. Unfortunately, i was not able to get one from my school(Trier University, Birkenfeld).

On the 26th of Nov, the embassy sent me a mail to send my extension letter before the 6th of Dec. Since i was not able to get the letter..i was adviced to reply the embassy if it is possible for me to use my winter interview for the coming summer session as i'll be providing a new admission letter in due course or i withdraw my application.

The embassy responded to my mail by saying it is adviced i withdraw my application. The question now is should i withdraw the application or just hope i'll be granted the visa without the extension letter.

*i urgently need your advice ASAP*

please who is in kleve or going to kleve. i was admitted into rhein waal uni and i need an accomodation.
How do i go about it?

Hello guys...I started following this thread sometime last month. I read every visa interview transcript (both approved and delayed) from Part 11, 12 and 13. Nairaland almost became my Bible..

I want to thank everyone for their contribution so far, I"m glad I stumbled on this thread because it really prepared me for my interview.

My visa was approved yesterday at the U.S consulate, Walter Carrington.

I actually applaud those who give very detailed transcripts starting from how they dressed up that day till the moment they heard the V.O's final decision.
Unfortunately, I have a one-track mind especially on serious occasions, and it would amaze you to know that I hardly took notice of anything that was going on around me. What was on my mind was how to get the V O to say those magic words to me...I was so consumed by the thought that I did not even take notice of the window number (the face of the V.O is still in my memory though, for obvious reasons ).
Now that I think of it, there is a possibility I was interviewed by the infamous black woman.

Here is my transcript...

Me: Good morning

V.O: Good morning, please pass your passport and I-20

(she typed for what seemed like eternity, raised her head and looked me straight in the eyes)

V.O: why do you want to concentrate on epidemiology?

Me: (smiling) i have always been passionate about epidemiology since the Ebola outbreak that happened in Nigeria in 2013. I felt that the epidemic exposed the weaknesses of the Nigerian Health sector; and it was my curiosity and concern as to how things could've been done differently that led me to begin to explore the field of public health

V.O: that"s good. So how many schools did u apply to?

Me: 6 schools

V.O: why did u choose this particular school?

Me: I chose Texas A&M because they are actively conducting research that are geared towards tackling health problems in rural populations which closely aligns with my career goal when I return to Nigeria. I want to be able to improve the health of rural populations and low-income populations in Nigeria..most people do not have access to proper health care system and there is also the issue of health disparity especially amongst low income groups...
(she started nodding her head and typing)

Me: I also like the fact that they have a diverse student body and and inclusive, friendly community...

V.O: what is your highest level of education?

Me: I have a BSc. in microbiology

V.O: what year?

(I thought I heard "where?" so I mentioned the name of my alma mater and she repeated herself)

V.O: what year?

Me: oh... 2016

V.O: mention some courses you will be taking in your program that will help you in your career?

Me: I will be taking courses like introduction to epidemiology, biostatistics 1, data management and computing, introduction to health policy

V.O: did you take any tests?

Me: yes, i took the GRE and the TOEFL

V.O: Can I see your score report?

(I passed her my GRE Score report, she took a good look at it and passed it back to me).

V.O: so who is your sponsor?

Me: my mum

V.O: what does she do?

Me: She works with Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation

V.O: what does she do there?

Me: she is a classroom teacher in the NNPC staff school.

(she started squeezing her face and said sternly...

V.O: do you have an official bank statement showing her name?

Me: Yes

(I passed it to her, she went through it and passed it back)

V.O: Okay Madam, I will be issuing you your visa....

(I leaned closer to hear her very well in case my mind was playing some tricks)

V.O: pick up your passport in 3-4 working days at the circled location on this paper...have a lovely day

Me: (smiling sheepishly) Thank you. Have a nice day.

For those who are yet to go for their interview, I wish you success. We shall all celebrate. Cheers!!

Hello! Who is going to help me with my proposed transcript? Am ready to give cash. A token though. Thanks.

diego2015:

Electrical communication engineering

fluxyn:
What course is that Abeg ooo. Coz am hoping to her from Kassel too oo. Msc Nanoscience with a 2.0 german gp

Yes i paid uniassist for all the schools. A bit disheartening i wasnt admitted into just ONE

INCREDIBLE015:
I got admission to TH koln with the same course you applied for and I used english letter of proficiency...... Wait you Pay uni assist fee for all the course you applied and you notarize Your document?

Thanks Man! I appreciate the response

victree007:
A lot of people seem to think your rejections are as a result of you using an English proficiency letter rather than using a proficiency test. Personally I don't think that is true because a lot of people here have gotten several admission letters without even taking either TOEFL or IELTS, myself inclusive. Someone even said he got admission to one of the schools that denied you admission with a proficiency letter and not a proficiency test. So I think you should examine the whole of your materials again to be sure there is something you are not doing wrong. I'll advise you critically examine your motivation letter and be certain it can win you a Grammy. Again, who are those you use as referees? Are they professors/doctors or younger lecturers? You should look for the former if you have been using the latter. I want to ask again what the content of the proficiency letter you area using looks like and which body issued it. These are some of the things you should really look at. You have a good CGPA and drive and that is enough to give you admissions which is why you must examine all of your credentials.
Always use your IELTS for subsequent applications to give you an edge but I must tell, if something is bad from your other credentials then not IELTS will save you. We are constantly competing for space with the best brains from naija and the world in general and so schools will look out for the best candidates that's why you must make sure you are getting it right. I hope I made sense sha

Am not sure there is anything only that my course seems to be competitive. That was the reply i got from kassel

swisster:
bro this ur case is serious o. me dat hav lesser cgpa hav even gotten admission. plz kindly ask dem d reason for refusal. i tink sumtin mst be wrong sumwer.

I have IELTS even GRE as well. I dont usually tender the ielts because they accept letter of proficiency been Nigeria is a native speaker and my undergraduate was fully taught in english. I had a 6.0 so i dont like submitting it if they dont ask even though i submitted to TUM this summer but i was rejected.

dolpaz:
Its really unthinkable that you have 6 rejections with these Cgpa even when people with far lesser cgpa are nipping it. You have a good grade to get admitted into most Msc studies but the honest truth why you´ve been denied admission is because of language proficiency letter.

Most of the schools you listed up there requires IELTS. These schools instructs Uni-assist to process duly completed applications with all the required certificates submitted. so before Uni-assist process/forwards your documents, they run a thorough check on your documents and on seeing language profiency letter, they abruptly declined your applications.

My advise to any and everyone who wants to apply to study here is to try and get all the required certificates. Running away from IELTS would always bring about these kind of heartbreak at times. If you can spend close to 135€ for applying to schools, what´s stopping you in taking the pain to attempt ielts.. A simple 6.0 would have landed you series of admissions. Knowing fully well that there´s blocked account to be funded, I believe as little as 75,000 (160€) should not be a problem. I know its really challenging coughing out these cash but whatever is worth doing, is worth doing well.

My candid advice to you:

You are almost there...

Try and attempt IELTS before september ending, then fire your application for summer.

I can assure you that your admission will fall through and you´ll be here for summer.

wishing you all the best !

1) My cgpa is 3.54/5.00 converted to a german grade according to uni assist is 2.09
2) Electrical and electronics engineering
3) To be honest, i cant really count the number of courses i applied to..i applied to communication engineering at TUM, Kassel, Tu ilmenau..applied to information engineering at HS rhein waal, applied to communication systems and networks at technical university of cologne. So many of them my brother.
4) aunthenticated transcripts, certificate, reference letters(not all requires reference letters), english lang proficiency letter, SOP, etc

dolpaz:
1) What´s your CGPA range ?

2) What´s your first degree ?

3) Which courses are you applying to ?

4) Which documents did you apply with ?

Kindly answer these questions then we´ll take it from there !

Can you give me the site? Also, i applied to sub courses too. Uniassist failed to send my docs to the designated schools stating that i dont have a solid undergraduate background.

Phineas01:
There are other site but is mostly same information. What I will advice you to do is apply for courses, related to elect elect or sub courses under elect elect

Please guys is there any site beside daad.de that one can search for engineering schools(elect elect) to be precise. I just got my sixth rejection mail from otto van magdeburg couple of days ago..Also, can i still get schools that i can apply to for the winter session? Thanks

Is Point Park University a red flag school?

whyqueu:

You can make use of dhl or fedex
