I finally got the visa approval mail today, I had my interview on 23rd July, it took about one month. I want to sincerely thank everyone who has kept this thread alive, providing every necessary info and tips- you guys are awesome. The names are many 'Motherly' Zeeblamj, Eke40seven, Walesby, and you.

[/b] My experience[b]
Last week Thursday i called the alien office in my City (after waiting for exactly one month), the man i spoke with told me they were still waiting for the german embassy to forward my Deutsche bank confirmation. I was shocked because i forwarded my DB confirmation 1 week after my interview. I asked him for his email, he gave me and i forwarded the document to him but he replied that he would still wait for the embassy to forward it to them before approving the visa.
When i received his response, i quickly sent a subtle reminder mail to the embassy, its content was like "I am writing because i did not receive any confirmation of receipt from the embassy when i sent my Deutsche Bank account credit confirmation last month. Kindly find the confirmation attached should it be that my earlier mail was not received".

My experience reveals that the embassy may delay visa approvals by failing to send the documents early enough as in my case.
May God hasten the approval of other visa hopefuls.

Hello guys.
My visa has been granted! It took about 20 days. Just received the mail.
Thanks to everyone on the thread for the help and companionship.
As the hustle never stops, I have to run around for health insurance and flight ticket now.

Please those who have filled Form A, please i need help filling details.
Please on which column am i supposed to fill in Bank Code , IBAN, BANK ID Code. Branch No. Where will details on my confirmation letter come in?
On No.3 Particulars of Beneficiary, what will the Address be? (My address is above on No 2 already)
Code:
No 4: Sectoral purpose code
No 5. Payment Mode
Code
Thank you
The guy at the bank doesnt know much about it. I guess he is new

The IBAN and Bank ID are not meant to be entered on the form A, you should state them on your debit instruction letter.

On No. 3: if you have an address in germany enter it but if not use the Deutsche bank address on the top right corner of the DB letter that was used to send your DB account number...Frankfurters. .... (that's what I used at Union bank and I received my credit notification from DB last week)
On 4 and 5, I left them blank, I believe your bank may know what to enter there.

Most importantly, ensure you write your name as the beneficiary and quote your DB account number on your instruction letter.

Peace to all.

Uni Konstanz accommodation given to me na die o, €350 per month kai! out of my €670 from the blocked account nothing go remain na!... Abeg let me consider FAU offer.

@Oligee,
How did u get your accommodation at FAU, can you connect me or direct me. My admission letter says I have to search for accommodation by myself.
I send you a PM pls respond so we can talk.

@ilias, I replied your mail.

ON PAYMENT INTO BLOCKED ACCOUNT

I can boldly say that Union bank will process the transfer without hitches. On Tuesday I processed payment for my accommodation and it was done yesterday, today I received the telex copy which I sent to the school to confirm receipt of my payment. The rate used for me was 229 naira per euro, it toook only 2 days.
Just as mentioned, walk into any union bank(you must have at least a regular savings account), ask for the funds transfer(FT) officer, mention you want to transfer some money into a german account as part of requirement from the embassy. Tell them to give you a Form A(its a form from CBN used to pay for intangible goods unlike form M is used for tangible good i.e importation of physical good). Don't forget to go with your first degree cert, a letter instructing the bank to debit your account, admission letter, any document showing evidence of payment to be made, beneficiary details including the IBAN number and swift code, and your int'l passport.

NOTE: Some FT officers or branches may not be familiar with this transaction either because they are new to the bank or they don't have such regular transfers, insist on getting the attention of the head of branch operations and if she/he is also ignorant ask them to confirm from their head office's foreign operations unit(that's where it done).

I hope I have not been too technical with the details, I just wanted to explain a lil. A friend who travelled to uni of jena last year also used union bank.

Cheers All.

good day guys, pls is there anybody going to university of konstanz or has already
been there. pls I need help. thanks

@Ilias24, I am heading for uni Konstanz this winter, I got admission there. What’s up?

[/b] ON BLOCKED ACCOUNT OPENING. [b] I received a notification of successful selection from Uni Konstanz on May 20th stating "University of Konstanz would like to congratulate you on being selected for recommendation to our Registrar’s Office for admission to our two-year Master’s Programme in Economics" and they also stated that the registrar's office will send the admission letter later after my acceptance of their offer and since I have been waiting for the letter so I can go ahead to open the blocked account. After much waiting I curiously sent a mail to the German embassy two days ago attaching the notification letter asking if I can apply for account opening, they accepted it. I almost spanked myself for delaying to write the embassy, I should have applied for visa interview early this month. Now, I plan to visit the embassy on Tuesday 23rd, that's after one month.
LESSON:
1. A notification of successful selection can suffice for blocked account opening without the official admission letter.
2. Its good to clarify issues with the german embassy, they seem to be friendly in their email responses.
I wish every one of us well in our pursuits. God's speed.

Greeting to all on this thread.
Pls I need some guidance. I received a notification of successful selection for Msc Economics at uni Konstanz and I was asked to accept the offer before a letter of admission will be sent to me. Now I need guidance on the following:
1. How is life generally in the city of Konstanz, in terms of getting student job, language issues, cost of living, etc. I have done some research and I found that the city is mainly a tourist location, its in southern germany and its close to lake Constance and Switzerland.
2. I was asked to pay 550 euros as accommodation cost before 26th June in order to get accommodation(it is guaranteed for all intl students). How is student hostel apartment on campus or is it better to search for accommodation outside campus.

I will appreciate information from anyone including those who are currently in konstanz or once lived in konstanz.
I trust una, I beg for help. Thanx.

Good people, I kindly need some practical advice on the issues above. Thanks.

Hey!
I received a mail from LMU asking me to come over to munich for an admission test on 30th May, which kind test be this for msc application en? What do I do? ...Oh God take charge of this my course, be in control, WIN.

lmuhopeful:
Thanks bro. I forgot to add smth else. The admission letter states that i have been admitted to the department but i need a final check of my docs by the international office before final admission is given. Would this change your recommendation?

Lmhopeful, I think you need to obtain the full admission letter from the international office before proceeding with the blocked account and then visa. I know LMU has an application process like this. Believe me you have scaled the major hurdle; the dept has confirmed you are suitable, the int'l office just needs to confirm your docs and placement.
Thats my take.

Many thanks @Williamso for the response. I appreciate you.

Gurus in the house pls I need help. I have applied to the uni of konstanz uploading my original documents online BUT I want to confirm if I need to send certified hard copies also. I'm asking because I couldn't find any information on hard copies on their website and admission closes on 15th April this year.

I also want to confirm based on experiences of previous applicants, is it appropriate to upload certified documents during online applications or I upload original copies. I am asking because most schools are silent on this issue and I do not want to make any mistake.

Pls kindly assist with answer.

Lordjunta: From d training centre dis morning. It is referred to as batch 1,thr ar 3 classes of 40 candidate each i.e 120 in all. Training mode activated.

Hello friends, I wish to confirm that what Lordjunta has stated is TRUE, its clearly written on d training schedule here at the UBN training centre ikeja. All hopes must be kept alive cos there is at least a second batch since ours is called d first batch.
