Revman:
That's nice ...thanks for replying
I got the exemption letter from the TK guy that I found on my school FAQs section. He sent it to me after I applied for statutory Insurance and he realized that I don't qualify for it.

I will pm you now.

Please help me out with this information. Thanks

LONG POST ALERT!!!

AL: 23rd July, 2019
AD: 4th Oct, 2019 (Booked on 24th July, AD came 25th July 2019)
AM: 29th Oct, 2019
Visum: 7th Nov, 2019

TRANSCRIPT
My interview was on 4/10/2019. I left my house some minutes to 5am, I got to the embassy at exactly 5:30am. I was the first person to arrive, I met an officer at his post. Greeted him and stood by his post. I was expecting the usual "go and come back by 6:30am" as I have read earlier from other people's transcript, but he asked if I have all my documents ready and if I have done all my photocopies. I nodded to all his questions and he asked I remove the chain barricade to enter and wait. He muttered some words under his breath like "That man na only shout e go shout". I figured he was talking about Mr. Paulinus.lol.

I turned off my phone before entering and he asked me to sit and he also asked what visa I was there for and I said Study visa. Some minutes to 6am, a lady and her son came also; they were for visit visa. A young guy came afterwards and a couple of other people. We were asked to bring out a copy of our appointment mails and our passport. The other young guy, he was also for study visa was surprised. He was like "it's not on the checklist na". I brought out mine, the other people brought out theirs.lol. He kept on saying but it wasn't listed, he was advised to go print it out as there was still time. He left and a security man came to stamp the letters and he also wrote time on them.

My appointment mail had a little software glitch as it didn't carry my passport number, instead it was replaced with special characters and all, but it carried my name and booking reference correctly. I was a bit scared though, because I really didn't want Mr. Paulinus wahala. I actually went with a copy of my booking mail because it carried my passport number correctly.

Mr. Paulinus finally came, fair man, he didn't say much, he was just busy with his stuffs. He finally started calling out to Visit visas first and he cleared them and allowed them in. Some minutes to 7am he asked people for study visa to standup and he led us to a table. He showed us how to place the documents as he will be calling them one after the other and we should follow his lead. We were 3 present for the interview. He started calling them, I already had my originals clipped with the photocopies and it made it totally easy. I was just carrying on like a pro. Remember the young man that didn't print his appointment mail? He wasn't finding it easy at all. I pitied him, Paulinus was just using him to shine, his documents were very scattered and this didn't help him. I finished with my arrangement and I was the first they ushered in. I was searched by the security and they kept my phone and gave me a key. I was asked to sign too as they had a list of people for the day, it was a relief to actually see my name. I had panic attack prior before coming, I was like what if I had mistakenly canceled my booking sef and what if the error on my appointment mail made it impossible to sign in - village people has a way of messing up your mind abeg! I finally signed in! They asked me to hold on to my bag and I was asked to sit as I was the first. The 2nd person for student interview came in some minutes later and she was given a Visitor's tag and she went through a gate to the main building. I was just giving the securityman side eyes like "uncle I'm still here abi una forget me".lol. I couldn't hold it again I stylishly told the security man that I don't have this Visitor's tag o. He smiled and said, don't worry we know what we are doing. I waited for almost 30 minutes.

Finally, I saw a light go on and they said it was my turn. I was hoping to go to the main building too,lol, ( I kept longing to go in), they just directed me to a cubicle still around the main waiting area, I was slightly disappointed as I still wanted to go into the main building.lol. I saw the dread lady, in my mind I was like "na where I dy go, I dn reach so".lol. She greeted me nicely and I did same. She asked for my documents and my appointment mail. She was looking keenly at my appointment mail, I was like this passport number don finally put me for wahala. I started explaining not like she asked me o. She didn't even answer me jare. I think it was irrelevant. She asked for my passport, I gave her 2, she asked for an extra, she scanned and returned it back. She returned my biologically old document. She took my biometrics for both fingers, she asked what program I was going for, I told her Master's. She said not M.A? I said no M.Sc. she smiled and asked for my money, I initially kept 31,000Naira aside as Mr. Paulinus said it was 30,500. The VO asked for 29,500, I removed the 1000Naira and gave her, she asked if the money was correct, I said yes and I told her that's 30,000Naira. She said she doesn't have change, she didn't even count the money. She gave me one document to sign, for data protection and another to check if my details were correct. I did. She asked why I was bearing a Yoruba name when I wasn't from there, we just laughed it off.

So she said we will start your interview now. I just said ghen ghen! I was expecting her to say grab the phone, thank God I didn't do oversabi to grab it, cos she didn't even ask me to.

Vo: why this program?
Me: I was making sense at first then I started blabbing, I was freaking tensed. I just told her "I'm sorry, I'm tensed", she responded warmly that I shouldn't be, that I don't have to be. So she went through the question again and said just say this and this. Simple. I smiled and thanked her whilst she typed.
Vo: why Germany? She picked a point from the first one I said in the first question.
Me: It's an excellent destination for international student as it's one of the safest country in the world, tuition free and it's vested in research and training. She nodded and typed.
Vo: where are you going to?
Me : Deggendorf
Vo: The state and the capital.
Me: Bavaria, Munich
Vo: Talk about Germany politically
Me: I talked about the President first, his party, when he was elected.
Vo: what type of government does Germany practice?
Me: Parliamentary system of government.
Vo: what position did the President occupy before presidency and what did he study?
Me: Minister for foreign affairs. He read law.
Vo: Talk about the VC
Me: Angela Dorothea Merkel....then I gave her gist
Vo: Talk about the Geography of Germany
Me: I talked about it and when I mentioned "nine countries border Germany"....
Vo: In the North, it is bordered by what country?
Me: Denmark.
Vo: The capital?
Me: I thought she meant Denmark, so I said Copenhagen, she said capital of Germany o, I quickly said Berlin.
Vo: Say some random facts about Germany
Me: The German national anthem was composed by an Austrian born musician, Joseph Haydn, and only the 3rd stanzas is sung because the first 2 has ties with the Nazi's era. *she nodded*
Germany has over 1000 types of bread.
The biggest and largest zoo in the world is located in Berlin, Germany.
Vo: Talk about Germany economically?
Me: Her main exports are cars and they are the 2nd largest exporter in the world after China.
Vo: What other exports are from Germany?
Me: Pharmaceutical products, steel and (can't remember the 3rd one I mentioned)
Vo: Your final year thesis?
* I wrote it down* she typed it in. I added that she should put the bacteria names in italics or underline them, she said okay.
Vo: Can you tell me more about your final year thesis?
Me: *I smiled* Before I go on, I would like to explain some of the terms there.
(I worked on Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus bacteria)She was very interested in my project as she thought it had to with STIs. I laughed and told her no. Told her the modes the MRSA can be contracted and all.
She didn't type, she only listened. She added exclamations here and there, her facial expressions were funny to watch. I even started advising her about the dangers associated with that strain of bacteria. I actually spent a great deal of time talking.
Vo: What plans do you have after your program?
Me: I look forward to coming back to Nigeria on the completion of my program and I intend working with National Biotechnology Development Agency (NABDA) in Abuja as a researcher as I would want to delve fully into research and they have a Gene and Genomics department and I believe the knowledge garnered during my 18 months of study would be of immense contribution there.
She typed it in.
Vo: Do you know anyone in Germany?
Me: I know 2 people, One in Jena another in Wurzburg.
She nodded
Vo: Have you applied for any visa at all? She was literally pointing at the various embassies direction around the German embassy. She went with America and pointed towards the direction of the American embassy, she did the same for like other 3 countries. It was funny to watch, I was literally laughing!
Me: *still laughing* No!
Vo: I am satisfied with your interview but I would advise you ask for an extension from your school, the Consulate might request for one and don't wait till they do. Send one as soon as you get hold of it!
Vo: When sending a mail, quote this number ( she wrote the number under my barcode out) as the subject of your mail and attach the document.
Me: Do I need to courier it also? (in my mind, sometimes you people are blind and you may not see the mail. Lol)
Vo: An email will do.
She gave me my change and said that's the end. She bid me bye and I screamed have a nice day!

Sincerely, I enjoyed my interview with the dreads lady! Please don't believe all what you read here about any VO, they are all based on their individual experience. Don't carry someone's experience into your own interview, it will ruin you. Just be you and do you jare and pray too!

I bid Mr Paulinus bye also, he responded nicely. I left the young guy from earlier, he was still sorting out his documents. I left the embassy at exactly 8:30am. My interview lasted for like 30 minutes. I funded before going.

Enrollment deadline was October 31st

After going back and forth with my coordinator, my deadline was extended to mid-November.

Congrats boss...how did u apply for date on the 24 and got date by 25. I applied since 5 July and rebooked later on still didnt get date.

epurepu:
God have mercy... But what do we advice?? Should I just book even without any AL for now I'm almost sure I will still get AL though.

Sorry for the many questions pls... I've been out of this platform for so long.

Hope u know from November 1st ,you'd ve to find ur blocked account before booking for appointment

odimbannamdi:
Bros, when your village people map you eh, e go hard to escape am...lol

Well, i had to send my transcript back to my school for stamping and i got it back early this morning, but i still couldnt meet up.

No regrets though. The deadline for the school i needed it for is still very far, so i can afford the ban.

Thanks for your concern

Was there a mail to confirm ur ban or based on their Instruction against missing appointments

AVO19:
Hello everyone, I’m a summer applicant due to no AD from the embassy for this past winter, I already have AD for summer now, for Nov 15. I have a bsc in engineering but I’m planning to study international business for masters. My question is that, I hope there won’t be an issue with getting a visa because I don’t have a business background?

Also, small advice for summer applicants, try to search very well and apply to schools with online admission application instead of focusing solely on schools that need uni-assist, so that you can get admission much faster. You should still apply to the schools that need uni-assist too tho, but the earlier you have an admission the earlier you can book for interview.

Dont understand you...you have appointment date for summer session already now? When did you get admission and please which school?

Jubrilx3:
I am applying to schools in Germany, and uni-assist is not friendly with me.

1. Is it the high court that will certify my documents ? Needed to reconfirm

2. Uni assist website says my school will send a seal envelope of my credentials (transcript, proof of English), can I send a seal student copy or it has to be from my school (official copy)?.

3. I want to apply to other schools that requires me to send documents directly to them, can I use student copy which is(cheaper)or my University will send to them ?

Finally what is module choice ?
See attached photo

Your course handbook or prospectus

Penialpriere:
Please how did u do it. I have been trying to rebook but keeps saying This entry needs to be unique.A different appointment with the same entry was already booked; but i have cancelled the previous ones or is their months intervals to rebook? Thank you

I just cancelled and rebooked immediately...there was no interval,I got a no reply address mail with confirmation about 10mins later.....try using the cancellation link again and use chrome.thanks. never heard of any interval to rebook

Modesta24:
na God hand we dey. but how is your deadline 31st is it summer semster?

No oo...I'm as surprised ...said enrollment deadline is 31st exams starts in February....I just need date,don't mind missing some classes

Howfar these dates na...I booked since July 5 as cat A oo....had to rebook oct1 as cat B ...lmao...deadline is Jan 31...but I don tire aswear....lmao

Modesta24:
There are things you need to put in considerations to determine your next line of action;
1. have you received any auto cancel from the embassy?
2. It is clearly written that there will be a purge of data at the end of September .
3. So if the purge actually happened ...then there is need for you to rebook.
4. Else you need not to worry

Your enrollment deadline is for January, so rebook cause they said they ll do the purge....

Please can cat A applicants attend the interview on a friday? Interview is random, any day for any category...please

computaholicGoc:
I don't think this will fly unless u maintain a residency/citizen of that country.

it would have worked if we don't have german embassy in Nigeria but you have two german embassies already.

TIPS to get a date:

write your school for a deferred enrolment deadline. The embassy looks at ur enrolment deadline most times to ascertain if you can make it or not

Thanks man....I ve 2 AL with quite far enrollment deadlines....tho

kennykolabo:
Hello great people.
My brother applied to three schools and he’s awaiting admission feedback from the school.
However, he got a news today tht the Nigerian embassy is booked for winter and no one would be able to schedule and interview again for winter....
Please how true is this news?
What can he do? Can he visit another country to book visa appointment or what’s the best advise please.
Thanks so much

Please is it even possible to book appointment/attend interview in another country?if possible I wouldn't mind working with any willing person on this plan.

Amen man

Kumkumtins:
Bros nothing yet ohh.God will do it this week

AbayomiLaw:
See what I saw this morning.

Were you trying to book afresh or cancel to rebook

Howfar na bro....any update on your side?

Kumkumtins:
You don Dey hustle accommodation?

People dey funny ooo...na wa oo,simple call or inquiry is even far enough ...na another country minister next..na wa oo

cliper230:
Lets reason like human being, i have a AL but i don't have date yet, let’s hope that they release date soon,
Bombarding them with emails and calls won't solve our problem because they are already aware of number of people without AD.
its written in their website that it might take 1-2months before an interview date is released. And the other guy that was suggesting that we should write German minister for foreign affairs in Germany he must be out of this mind. Writing German minister for foreign affairs in Germany means you are reporting German ambassador in Nigeria that he/she is not capable of handling the running of their embassy in Nigeria, e no get any law wey say them go give you date o. just calm down my guy

Kenechill:
I understand how stressful it is waiting for appointments but to be candid, I don't support this. Don't ruin the chances of others coming later. Let your complaint go to the appropriate authority - which is the embassy.
Keep in mind that not everyone in that government is in support of Angela Merkels stand on immigration. Instead, find the email of the consular general and message him.
My opinion though.

Simply put....exactly...make una calm down....

Kumkumtins:
You don Dey hustle accommodation?

I don apply

I'm still waiting for the number to be dropped oo

Eromose08:
Please kindly drop the number. Thanks.God bless.

We dey same boat as regards appointment, booked same day,study start oct 1....you sure we nor go rebook with Oct 21?....dunno sha...my guy keep me posted,I'm trying to get around it sha...

Kumkumtins:
3rd October

Please the number,so I'd just inquire as well ..maybe the more the calls the more the haste on their side

Glowing1:
Update from my call to the Lagos Embassy

So I called to inquire about d date like I earlier wrote. I think she's a nice person, she sounded calm n apologize that they are working on the date, that I should exercise patience. That most people booked before me but still haven't gotten a date. That they are aware n working on it.

This news shouldn't stop u from putting ur calls across as well. Let them know we are waiting. Cos this is an important issue that needs to be addressed soonest

lemme know if you have it, i go like call too

Glowing1:
Any one here with lagos embassy numbers pls drop it. I need to make a call n enquire for date.

Good morning all
