My Transcript 4/07/2019

I lodged at bayland guest house the night before my interview. Got a pretty decent room for 5k, there was AC, a small TV and decent toilet. Set off for the keke park at 5:20am, 5 mins walk from bayland. Then I boarded a keke going to the embassy, By 5:30 I was already at the parking lot. I had to drop my bag with one of the guys there as my laptop was inside and i wouldn’t be allowed to take it into the embassy. He said i should bring 3k, las las we bargained and he agreed for 1k5. Then he told me I had to make colored prints of my passport page and not black and white, said I will be sent back if I don’t do that, Na so I quickly call Deutschemann oh, he told me it wasn’t true.

Congratulations to you

MY TRANSCRIPT:

So I had my interview today July 1, 2019. Got to the embassy by 5:29am met one person but he was for Short term visa. So I was number one on the queue for Student visa. Paulinus then started calling....I attached all my photocopies at the back of the originals to make them easy to access....thanks to Nairaland and my brother that told me about this arrangement (NB: Don't staple them pls, use office pin holders to hold them). So I didn't have any wahala at all with oga paulinus.
Oga paulinus first checked in the short term visa people. They were 5 in number.
I was now told to go in for the interview. But before I went in for my interview , we were around 8 Students on the queue. Fast forward to me and Vo;

What a detailed transcript. Congratulation and wish you Heaven's Best

HighPriest0:


But I booked successfully and got my reference number.
Just waiting for date.
Some people who booked before me have not gotten any date yet.

Just believe everything will surely work out for your good. Be patient since there are others that are ahead of you.
I think they have run out of dates or have hit their limit as someone pointed out.
Just be hopeful

Transcript of my interview yesterday 28th June, 2019.

I got to the Embassy by 6.20am for my 7am slot and immediately had my appointment print out stamped. Then I joined a queue. When they were ready to attend to us, they decided to start with short stay candidates first.

After about 1hr 30 mins of waiting, they started attending to Student Visa people. So we left the queue outside and joined the queue on the wooden platform with seats.

Then Paulinus came and started asking us to arrange our documents in a certain order. I don’t recall the exact order but these were the documents he asked for.

2 Application for Visa forms placed face down
2 signed declaration forms on top of them
2 photocopies of your passport data page next.
2 photocopies of your FSLC next with your original placed separately (I didn’t have this and I asked here a few days ago. When I told him that I didn’t have it, he asked me to move on to the next document)
2 photocopies of an old document eg old library card, baptismal certificate etc (at least over 5years old) to verify your age next with the original placed on the FSLC
WAEC or NECO photocopies then their originals on their respective piles
University degree next,
NYSC,
Admission letter (one translation before the other)
Hand written letter of Motivation next,
Curriculum Vitae,
Blocked Account document next
Then any other supporting document you have. One original and 2 photocopies each.

He then pinned the 3 piles of documents together, sighted our visa fees, gave us a gate pass and sent us in.

When I got to the VO, she didn’t ask me a lot of questions.

What did you study as an undergraduate?
Why are you going for this course?
What was your undergraduate project topic?
Why do you want to study in Germany?
What do you know about the Politics in Germany?
Have you applied for a visa before either to Germany or any other country?
Have you blocked funds in your blocked account?
What do you plan to do after your studies?

I wish everyone good luck with their AL, BA, SL and AM. We’ll all meet in Deutschland.

Thanks and wish you Heaven's Best

AbayomiLaw:
Am sorry it's coming late...

Got AL from the only School I applied to in January,2019 .

I couldn't meet up for the Summer Semester due to my Involvement in Nigeria Politics.

So I informed the school about it, they offered to defer the admission to Winter semester to enable me stabilize and organize myself, even without me asking for it (what a great system).

I accepted, and almost immediately, they sent me another AL for Winter Semester.

I informed my sponsor about it and he got and sent me an SL to be taken to the embassy.
I had serious issues with booking online, so I asked for help here, lol and behold after a week of trying, a Naira Lander booked for me, waiting all through the midnight to get me a date.

He also helped me prepare for interview and got me almost everything I needed for the interview including the DHL courier envelope, application form and Interview transcripts. A day before the interview he met me at his busstop in the rain and made sure he rehearsed every step of the interview process with me(Thank you Ayo).

On the day preceding the interview, I lodged in an hotel around the embassy. Woke up more than 7 times to check time, cos I was afraid of oversleeping. Around 4mins to 3am, I woke up and refused to sleep back, I rehearsed my transcripts, duplicated/wrote another motivation to while away time.

By 4am, I dressed up, it was raining, I stylishly booked Keke and left my car in the hotel. I got to the embassy around 4:25am, the front gate was locked, the soldiers didn't allow us in until I think 5am.

We got inside and we were just two at the German embassy, we waited till around 6:20 before a security man came to attend to us and stamped our Appointment Letters, by then we were almost 13.
Paulinus came around 6:50am, they now attended to Shengen Visa till around 7:40am, after which they called we the Students Visa Applicants
I was the first to scale through Paulo, he was full of praises for me, he sent 2 people to the back and replaced them, only to replace them back that they are worst than the first ones he sent away. Lol.

I was directed to the Interview section by a line on the floor.

I sat for like 3min before I was asked to enter a cubicle, lo and behold, I saw a black skin man and I gained extra confidence.

We exchanged greetings, he asked me what I came for, I told him.
Have you blocked? I said I wld use SL
He went through my documents...
Asked if am married or has a child.
Asked the course and school.
Checked my SL and realised a portion stating my purpose of travel was cut off in the photo copy. He told me to always check well next time, he went to do the photo copy for me with their copier. Asked my relationship with my Sponsor.
Interview proper.
Pick the phone:
Which Course?
Which School!
Why Germany?
Why not US?
Why the course?
Facts about Germany ( he was just saying is that all). Sometimes I will mention something, he would say; are you sure? I wld say, 'thats wat I read', and he would laugh.
Bachelor Thesis? Facts about Germany.
Why Germany (again).
Have you been denied Germany visa before?
Why not Nigeria. I told him our standard of education is falling. He quickly corrected me that, I shouldn't join those saying that, that if our standard is really low or falling, Germany would never had offered me Masters Admission.
Plan after Studies.
Told him am a politician and would definitely come back to continue politics, that we can't leave politics for the old men.
Showed him my handbill during the last election, he collected it and said I should have included it, he made photocopies and included it in my documents. He said we need people like you.
Give me your email. Will get back to you.
Any question?
I asked him how long, he said they would need to verify if the Sponsor has enough to sponsor me. I told him I also intend getting there some months to my Masters resumption so as to learn German language. He asked if I already registered, I said No. He said I should quickly register and send in the Confirmation so as to hasten the process, that they encourage it and call in Intergration.
That's all.
I was like you didn't tell me your name, he laughed and said my name is Noah ( that's my own name o), we laughed and that was it.
The interview was interactive. All thanks to God!

I have forgotten somethings o. But I will remember when AM lands.
6 weeks and still counting!
AM will come soon.
I wish everyone expecting AL,AD,AM success.

It is well. Sorry it's long ooo.

Wish you Heaven's Best

Good evening great mentors in the room.
Please I sent my certified documents to Uni Assist and to University of Duisburg-Essen through DHL(#39500).
When I used the tracking number to check the delivery status I saw shipment on hold and that address information needed, that I should contact DHL and I just did but I was asked to call them tomorrow. Uni Assist own is showing delivered.
Application deadline just dey approach and I am yet to get notification from uni assist about my documents received because my application with them is still showing incomplete because of my certified documents.

Pls note that upon arrival of your documents at uni-assist, your documents takes some days. They use some days to collect as many as they can before sending mail to them

If you track and its with them before the dealine, just calm cos you will get mail from them
follow this as they are still registering mails as of today https://www.uni-assist.de/en/how-to-apply/plan-your-application/deadlines-processing-time/?no_cache=1#c2653

chrisaruwa:
Good morning my able mentors.
Please my question is about the block account..
Is there any other alternative to this block account requirement,someone told me having a guarantor that stays in germany �� can help in covering this block account requirement..
How true is this?
Please I need clarification on this
Thanks in anticipation..

Pls dont take this personal as you should spend time to READ
Can you tell the someone to pls explain how? The person who knows its possible shouldnt give you half info

Pls read and research cos its possible and stated in most of the forms and sites

seungold1929:
Good evening guys,
I went to do my declaration of age today
I just discovered the woman that helped wrote that my birth certificate got "lost" instead of writing that I was born before 1992.
Please can I still go to the interview with it or I should do another one?
Thanks.

Pls avoid issues, go and do another

milex07:


I just got an appointment date,I booked through category A. But what I don't seem to understand is that the email States that id have to submit a complete application and I can't see anywhere to download the application form. Please I need an urgent response on this. Thanks in anticipation

G and read the Consulate site very well on the student visa section you will see the form. Find it!! so that you can get other information

mightyokwy:
Guys fintiba basic and plus which is the best option for my block account.

Basic is ok for you

Kolombo88:
guys are we covered if uni-assist receives documents before school deadline and continues to process after the expiration of the deadline before forwarding docs to the school? i'm a bit confused.

Read well its on the site cos nothing to be confused about. Your document MUST reach uni-assist before the dealine. If you are applying to school ur document must reach b4 the dealine. you re ok if they either get it before d deadline

alexdedon:
There is hope to those of us planning to use form A to fund their block account. Over the past few days I have been looking for cheap ways to fund my block account. I have been to several banks, but they keep saying form A is for school fees and medical bills. today I got this from one of the bank which I believe will beneficial to everyone in this forum, I told them I wanted to fund my block account which is for my upkeep and I was given the form to fill and submit the requirements. I was asked to come back to get the cbn rate for form A and the possibility of funding up-to 8829euros for upkeep.. I will update you all on that soon

.

Thank you for this info and your efforts in helping others, we hope it works
Hope to hear from you

Good morning friends,
Please some of the questions recently trending are uncalled for. I keep asking if there wasnt a platform as this how will some people cope? when people fail to do the needful, the end up aportioning blames to authority. People dont read, research and end up asking questions one shouldnt expect from a graduate or someone aspiring for such a competative study.
Pls and pls when making any application, take time to ask yourself some fundamental questions and learn to take notes of vital points, requirements, procedures etc

Take time to read and note the;
requirement for international students, language of instruction and language requirement, what are the school deadlines, procedures for submission wether thru uni-assist or to school direct, what documents are required either school or uni-assist. certification requirement etc

if you notice all this information are on the school or uni-assist sites(Deadlines, processing time, requirments etc. But peolple dont bother to read just expecting things to be done for them. How will such a person cope in DE?

We will continue to help out as brothers but PLS help yourself first

Kamps:



My guy.. I just pray no one fall again into UPS scam again.. What i notice is that, if you are sending documents to a friend in Germany that's where they have problem..UPS will lie to you that they went to the receiver's address but he/she is not at home, when they didn't leave there office.. It is so annoying when you pay that huge amount and they want you to make another payment telling one rubbish duty fees. They mumu to the extent that they won't call the receiver's number to know when he/she at home. At least, we know how deliveries are made here in Nigeria.

They (UPS workers) collected my money at their Office here in Abeokuta but when i went to lament about what happened they were looking at me as if they are just seeing me for the first time.

"UPS is a yahoo boy organization in disguise "

Just Beware!

I have used UPS 3 times from PH and never had any issues. There was delay with the second i sent which i believe was the too many applications 5 that we send

I have never had such and even plan to use them next. Why is your different?

Rainyboy:
