Hello house, kindly advise me on this issue. I wanted to pay for my school fees in France for graduate study @universite Saclay Paris. I was asked to pay the tuition fees through bank transfer (not online payment) and my sponsor is in UK, said he can only pay through his credit card. I have mailed the school to send me online payment route, but no response yet. I don't know if there is other way I can sort out this problem. Is there any intermediary/agent that accept online payment and transfer to school directly.

Thank you.

Hi, are you sure university of Paris saclay told you to pay your fees before arriving? I doubt that. The fees for all students have been slashed to about 243euros or so among the member universities. Except if the member institution have their own high charges as some do. This is on their website. Which of the member university or grand ecole did you gain admit to? University of Paris Saclay, is a body of two universities and about 10 grand ecoles with just Ecole polytechnic pulling away this year. I am heading for an Erasmus program at ENS Paris Saclay!

Location: Lagos Embassy

Date: 8 July 2019

Status: Denied

PhD Full funding, No deficit

VO was a black guy at window 9.

I was confident and I was one of the first few people in the consulate for 6:30am appointment, he denied the 4 people in front of me and one mind is saying change queue, another is saying don't worry �

Me: Good Morning
VO: Good mornind. Pass me your passport and I20 which I did
VO: I see that you're going to the University of Toledo, why did you chose the university of Toledo?

Me: Cos the department of Chemical Engineering at university of Toledo focuses on sustainability issues relating to the production materials and chemicals from renewable resources, also the research of Prof Bleep on Membrane process Optimization for carbon capture perfectly aligns with my research interest, and I was also awarded Graduate teaching assistantship that fully covers my tuition and living expenses.

VO: how many school did you and apply to and how many admitted you?

Me: I applied to 8 schools (VO cuts in)

VO: How many admitted you?
Me: 4 schools, MTU, university of Missouri, university of Toledo and University of Florida

VO: Have you traveled outside Nigeria before?

Me: Yes, I went on a week vacation to Dubai last year

VO: Sorry you're not qualified at this time ��‍♂

Like dream. Kindly advice on what next to do guys, I have full funding that covers tuition and living expenses, no deficit but excess of 9k more than the estimated average in fact.

I am emotional as I am typing this. Don't let this destabilize you. Winners never quit. You are a winner, a winner with excess. I prophecy into your life, GO GET THAT VISA.!!!

biffoqboxer:
Yep, I have filled the form, but I have not been informed about anything yet.

Well, I am using a prospective colleague in France to send my documents.

NIPOST will deliver your documents after some weeks.

They delivered one of my Chinese Scholarship Application documents a month and a half after sending via their postal service - they are not reliable.

Since you said that you scanned your documents to a certain center, I think you are safe.

I will say it depends. I sent my document to New York from Aba, and it took just 19 days.

adachisom25:
Aiite, mine was a student visa. Applied on the 18th and received it on the 25th.

Please which proof of funds did you present? Is it scholarship or statement of account of sponsor? Thank you!

AgreatMan:
Em em, let's not get ahead of ourselves here. If Pastor Biodun has not admitted anything or apologised, why then should I apologise to you?

I made a statement which is a spin-off of your own posts in d past 3 pages, u took it serious, I didn't. So, should I boil KREST?

Try to drop the sanctimonious card at Muritala Airport, u wouldn't be needing it anymore.

Mein Brother, despite this is a faceless forum, I think your previous post is not ideal. Our thoughts differ. I can't throw such statement whether it be a joke or not to a lady, and expect her not to feel bad especially if her self esteem is high! In all humility, when we know people are hurt through our words, we shouldn't delay to say a sorry.

If we find it difficult to say sorry when we are wrong, how much difficult will it be to say sorry even when we are right!

Stay blessed!

Please my beloved people, I have a query. How much does it cost to request for I 20 using eshipglobal via DHL. The school is situated in New York. Thank you very much as I anticipate your responses.

Pinkandblue26:
Hello!
How can I study for GRE aiming at 300 and above combined with working from 8 a.m to 6pm.
I need funding
I intend writing September to meet deadline.
I don't know the strategy of practicing a lot combined with work.
I'm not an Engineering student; so I see the Maths part as my weakness.
How can I ace my targeted score with no coaching in Maths. I'm a biology student.


Thank you

You can as well email graduate coordinators/professors. You can start now. Attach your academic transcript and CV for his/her perusal, asking them to rate your credentials for admission and full funding. If you are a very strong candidate( your transcript and research experience should show this) I bet you, they will beg you to apply for their program and may even offer you application fee waiver. I had a similar experience where a grad coordinator of a very good school in the US, told me that I am definitely the kind of student that they are interested in, and went on to tell me about TA and full funding, and his hope in hearing from me about the matter. The GRE is just one aspect of your credentials. Build on others as well. Good luck!!

Coitus:
They said we should send mails so let's bombard them

Student@lago.diplo.de

Info@lago.diplo.de

info@lago.auswaertiges-amt.de

rk-visa12@lago.auswaertiges-amt.de

As an oldie here, I will say please do not bombard the embassy with mails. Your email will end up being blacklisted. What else do you guys seek? It has been explained again and again. If you fulfil one of the categories in type A, then just go ahead and mark the scholarship option. From experience, sending constant emails is dangerous. When you receive your appointment date, you will be surprised that the scholarship indicated there, is just a filter. Do this now for your own good. God bless you all!

johnsonm2g:
Also, I graduated with 2:2, do you think I stand the chance to be admitted into the programme? please, anybody with better info as regards this issue is welcome to contribute.

My brother, I do not want to demoralize you. It will be very difficult for your grade This is because, people with over- excellent application will apply, and some programs can have over 1000 applicants each for perhaps 20-25 openings. However, nothing is impossible with God. I am a christian and I believe in the power of grace or some may call it luck. My advice is this, seek for valuable experience like research, write exams like TOEFL, GRE to boost your portfolio. Spread your tentacles even to US and Canada schools. I wish you the very best of luck.

davide470:
Congrats on your admission! Nice one.

The cost of living in Paris depends on the district per sè, as some district are more expensive than others but generally, as a student, it is better you apply for accommodation at Cité Universitaire or since you are on a scholarship, you can apply for a CROUS accommodation through Campus France.

Accommodation with Cité is about €500 - €680 per month depending on the type of room (Single room/Studio) while CROUS is between €400 - €600 also depends if it is shared or a studio.

Paris is a beautiful, calm and artistic city; if you don't look for trouble, trouble won't look for you. You meet all kinds and "not smiling" is a thing. So when someone tells you "Bonjour" with no smile, it is normal.
The metro is always crowded in the morning and night with slight delays at time.



Nevertheless, your 1 year in Paris would be worth it!

Thank you very much for your response. You are indeed very gracious. I will apply through CROUS and it will be through the school. The application form for housing will be made available at the end of this month. Rent is from 248 euros to 450 euros per month depending on the square meter. As a Nigerian and Ibo guy, you should know the one I will choose, Lol. I also do not know when I will apply for a visa, as notification has been sent to me about selection, but I am yet to get my admission letter. I know that I will apply soon. Thank you very much once again.

Good day house, nice job going on here. I gained admit into an Erasmus Mundus masters program in one of the Grand Ecoles- ENS Paris Saclay. I have gone through the discussions here, and have found out that one do not need to book for an appointment at VFS. However, I will like to know from the gurus in the house on the cost of living in Paris, as well as the things to expect there. I will be spending one year in ENS, but the other year in research at Ecole polytechnique, Harvard medical school and MIT. Thank you all, as I await your valued responses.

My people, nice job going on here. I really appreciate you guys. My eyes have been on Europe, got a couple of admits. However, I have been in correspondence with a professor, the Director of a college program at the City University of New York, and he has offered me a scholarship that will cover my fall tuition only but with also a TA. Their is no full tuition waiver for masters students in the college. Their is nothing yet on the remainder of the semesters. I am quite confused on this. I know that CUNY is a very good school, but I am not ready to run into financial debt or loan. Please what do you guys think ? Thank you all.

...have they made any provisional list available ?

Nope. Did you also apply to the program?

buiquiey:
Go to any local government closer to you bro collect ur proof of residence and of u are in Lagos state go to the nearest Lassra office to collect it. Congrats in advance.

Thank you very much. I have requested for it already. I hope to send it on monday, 15th. Was told that it is needed for the scholarship, to ensure that I have not been in Europe for more than 12 months of the last five years. I do not know how many people were interviewed, and how many will make the shortlist or main list. I am very surprised that I got interviewed without it.

mvem:
was it through Skype?.... Where you informed of the interview before time or it was sudden? And how were you informed?

It was not sudden. I was contacted last week for the skype interview via mail. Invitations were sent last week. Pre selected applicants interview began on the 8th of april and will end on the 11th. I was even slow on the application. Completed the application just a day or so before the deadline. I was wary because of the stress of the residence stuff. Do not worry. It will end in praise surely, ok. Cheers

Any one Interviewed for EMIMEO

I got interviewed for EMIMEO today. The interview lasted for over one hour, given my poor internet connection, and I was told to submit my proof of residency latest by 15th of this month.They kept on stressing on this, even though I submitted one during application. Any one like me here?. Trusting God for a positive outcome.

SoftAnn25:
Good day please can someone interpret this for me? I'm sure I submitted all my documents, but got this reply from my school, and they didn't indicate the documents, which I have written to the school demanding for the missing documents, ( As the Ausländerbehörde Siegen informed me, there are still documents missing, but your case is worked on.) But what I don't understand is that can a visa be denied because of missing documents?
I'm anxious and traumatize,I did my interview since 30th of August and embassy didn't request of any documents, wrote to alien office in siegen, No response.. please I need reply..

This German people can be funny. Why should the alien office tell you that instead of contacting the embassy directly? .I would advice you to just take the matter to God. You've done your best. If your school responds, then you know what to do. I wonder what could be the missing documents? I tell you dear, that you will scale through this. I tell you solemnly again that you will smile soon, for the light will shine at the end of this tunnel. Just believe. You will remember this when it happens.

Congrats brother. Please were you told to pick it up yourself or it was sent through courier?

Northmaza:
Thanks for this..

The organization has sent him the job offer... He has signed it and they want to file for him for his blue card. The issue here is that we have been refreshing the work / family reunion section of the visa process for close to a week and we cannot see dates.

Are there specific times of the day that they schedule new dates ?

Well, nothing good comes easily. Keep on trying to get a date,but still write to the embassy. He's got nothing to loose. For the organization to file blue card for him, which means he is an asset to them. There are requirements for blue card, for example employees should earn far above 50000 euros yearly. So not all organizations can file except they can pay as such. You guys should keep on checking and don't forget to pray of course. I believe in the power of prayers. Wish you and your husband, the very best. Tschüss.

Northmaza:
Hello My husband got a job in Germany and already have all the documents and signed all papers but need to get an early date.

Can you help recommend someone trusted to help in getting an early date.

What are the rates.

Tell your husband to write to the embassy. What he needs, is a work visa. This involves a long process because the organization will have to prove why an alien is preferred over a citizen or permanent resident.The vast majority of the folks here,I inclusive are for student visa. The embassy will answer this properly and tell him how to schedule. He will also know if he will be granted an EU blue card if successful. Cheers

mekanta7:
Yes they do observe October 1st. Are they in Dutch Land that they won't observe our laws.

My Brother, I remember discussing this in one of my posts.

Pauludy:
Hello guys thanks for your responses.

With respect to the first year transcript, can someone with a third class CGPA in the first year be eligible to apply with such results.

Asking for a friend..

Thanks in advance guys..

You guys are the best.

For bachelor's, it depends on the GPA of the first session. But I will kindly advice you to tell your friend about this forum, if you love this your friend, since you are our friend here. This is just a token of advice from a friend that cares. Cheers

SoftAnn25:
Please has anyone receive AM from the embassy,
If you did your interview on th 30th August,2018 and going to siegen city in North Rhein Westphalia....my school is University Siegen....please I'm anxious..someone should reply me please

Relax dear, I say unto you relax. The best you can do, is to call your alien office. Don't mail them, but call. If they tell you something positive, then wait for the final decision from the embassy. I too had my interview on the 30th of August. Shortly just a week from my interview date, I contacted the alien office at jena, though I have been in correspondence with the man in charge. He even told me when I should contact the embassy on my visa, and I got a response from the embassy before the date. I will post stuffs soon, when the great God finishes the work. cheers

abnoble:
Good morning gurus in the house, I did my interview 28th of August using SL. I mailed the embassy requesting to no my status and they sent me the attachment below..My enrollment date is 12th October class starts 15th October. Does any one know the meaning of *AE* and what should I do in this current situation.

Don't worry. They are just waiting for a response from your alien office. The moment your alien office responds positively, they will reach out to you ASAP. Your enrollment deadline looks like fsu jena. Are you heading there?

SoftAnn25:
University of Siegen in Siegen ... Siegen is in North Rhine Westphalia ....

OK. Don't worry, it will soon drop. I mean your AM

[quote author=SoftAnn25 post=71519376][/quote]Which school and city are you heading to?

tunchyluv:
Anyone heading to FSU Jena in Thuringia?? Expecting am this month.

Yea I am. Have you contacted the alien office.?

naijacentric:
how true is dis i thought dey said the person must be resident in germany am shocked kind of did dey change their rules?

When they say resident,they mean someone who lives and work in Germany. Does that mean permanent residents or citizens can't travel and make request? Of course they do. Check the mail you received during appointment. You will see - the republic of Germany in Lagos. That means anyone at the embassy, is considered to be standing on a German soil. What I am telling you, is correct . I say no more.

delsoft:
I did my interview on 29th of August, though I have not fund, I am waiting for my uncle to travel back to Germany next week to give me SL, and I have not recieve a reminder from embassy, and from my calculation it will take like 3 weeks b4 I can provide the SL, because my uncle will just book an appointment for it next week in which he might be given 2 week, so pls is there any chance for me to meet up, is that not too late for them at embassy, my enrollment is 5th of Oct but can be extended till 30th of Nov, pls just want to ask my assurance of still obtaining visa

My brother, if your uncle is eligible, no need to travel to Germany before he gets the sponsor letter. Write a mail to info@lago.diplo.de, and request for an appointment for your sponsor to make the financial obligation. Believe me, they will book you instantly cos many people don't know that this can be done. If your uncle don't have his work contract with him here, he can have someone scan and send it to him. Nevertheless, his passport no, will reveal better details, so don't fret.in fact if he's booked,he will get the letter for you that same day at the embassy . Do this if you want, and thank me later.

sucre90:
Gurus I need clarification on how to go about, cause am using SL not blocked account.

Brother, there is nothing to fret. Just contact your sponsor, and tell him or her to go to the alien office in his/her place of abode,and request for a sponsor letter for study, and not for visit. You need to orient the person on this.let the person do this as soon as possible. He filed a sponsor letter for visit that was why. You can as well write to the embassy to give you more time or a farther date to submit if you still have time for enrollment. Believe me, they will give you a farther date. Hasten brother, for you have an opportunity that many are looking for. Cheers.

Pazzyofficial:
Hi people, can I apply directly for Masters in any German university as an HND holder or are there programs I need to do there before Masters??

Brother, please read previous pages na. You will get lots of info. Folks don't know that when they read ardently, they communicate with the universe. If you do your homework well, you will be guided by experienced folks here when you ask meaningful questions. CHEERS!
