I booked for an appointment since February and the portal is showing that I am on a waiting list that will take approximately I year. Meanwhile, I have already been enrolled into the university. What do I do please?

Contact your School and ask for a deferment or partial refund of your semester fee especially the transportation ticket if your physical unavailable for studies. Also search for scholarships to hasten your Visa process

Please I got admission for Msc in Th Koln and they said they can't defer the admission that I can only reapply Please what I do now I'm so shattered

If you accept the admission and pay the full semester fee but can't physically attend, you can get refund of fee that covers the Semester Transportation ticket (it's a lot). You have to apply or send an email to your school as you won't be physically available. There's a deadline so do this on time

Good evening everyone I have a question
My primary school certificate carries different surname from my other documents and I want to submit them for admission would there be any issues with it and if any what should be the solution to the problem
Thanks 🙏

U can get an affidavit from high court on ground stating all the names in those certificates are yours and if you're married u can also get ur change of name certificate/marriage certificate on ground. It may not be necessary for admission but will be useful for visa application

Please guys which bank can one use for installmental payment? I heard expatrio supports installmental payment for block account funding

Yes, expatrio supports instalment payments even if you're not the one paying. Fintiba accepts only one payment and they may ask for proof of the money source.

Hello please has anyone funded their blocked account recently?, how much is the estimate in naira plus charges, and which blocked account bank is the best?

I would advise you use Expatrio if you're funding the block account more than once. Fintiba has place Nigeria as a 'high risk country' and only collects payment once and sometimes they may ask for document proof concerning the source of the money.
The Naira equivalent depends on the exchange rate for that day. If u still have months you can try form A with your bank. If not you do exchange with bureau de change or someone trustworthy or use online apps like Grey etc. Try asking your bank, Google, apps to know the current exchange rate

hi guys I need advice
I'm already in a bleeped up situation and I don't know what to do so I need some advice. so I moved to the Netherlands for my bachelor's degree in marketing I've been here for 1yrs and some months now and with the naira rate I've been unable to pay my tuition for some months now plus I couldn't take my exams because I was de-registered. now my school told IND(the immigration ) about my situation and I'm being asked to leave the Netherlands. so all my resources from the beginning is just gone plus I didn't even get the degree I initially came for.im not ready to move back home especially now that things are getting worse.
I'm just really sad right now and don't know what to do. I need help 😭

I would advise this;
1. You start looking for scholarships within and outside Netherlands that are less competitive and you think you are qualified.
2. Try to do research online and from past student already in Netherlands and get contacts of humanitarian/ immigrantion agencies or groups that can come in and offer some kind of assistance or solution. Am sure they've helped others in the past. Or even group funding. If possible plead u case on social media and ask for funding.
3. Try to apply for other visa categories like work visa, au pair etc that are easier to get even if it's within Europe
4. Apply to Germany uni's and co. U may still be able to do interview, u may be lucky.
5, meet with an immigration expert/ consultant and try to Know ur options. If u don't have money to pay, look for pro bono ones.

Hello guys
Trust you are doing great
I really appreciate all the information gotten from this forum.
I actually booked an appointment in the middle of September 2022. Please can someone tell me when expect appointment? I am curious because I don't have an admission yet.

The current timeline is those that booked mid July that are getting AD against for mid April. So expect your AD around July or ending June. Do deep research and Google the university offering ur area of interest, check admission dates and apply for winter semester in schools that indicate they offer admission letter early or offer rolling admission. Try university of Hamburg. Also apply for less competitive courses that has some sort of link to either your bachelor's or work experience. If uni assist delays you, make sure you're also applying to schools that don't use uni assist

She has checked everything. No AD
I really hope she will get it this week. I hope they didn’t skip her cause that would be sad.

This also happened to me. As far as her passport is still in the system, she will get her AD in the coming days. The possible explanation for this was that the day she booked, was not the day she received confirmation email from the embassy, Probably a few days later. The confirmation email from the embassy is the date you follow, and not the date you booked

Please this is urgent please someone should help me with a sample of letter of motivation. Please how do you write a research proposal for admission into Msc when you haven't even started the course

You can Google motivational letters and watch YouTube videos on how to go about it. For the research proposal try reaching out to ur past lecturers or PHd students to guide you or research online. Another way people do is to outsource the writing the motivational letter and research proposal, pay and get the best possibly and apply for scholarships/admission.

Please guys i need your assistance
What’s the best bank for blocked account because the exchange rate i am currently seeing on fintiba is way high … about 30m for 11297 euro. I don’t know if they added the money for insurance which is stated free on the website. Please any suggestion on other banks ?

I can't say which is best but to get euros u either use black market and lobby for the best rates, look for people who will buy naira for euros or contact ur bank concerning form A if you have time. Converting on Fintiba is a no no

Hello guys !! I booked an Ap july 13th 2022
From look of things my Ad will be around march or April this year.
Problem is i have an appointment with the Austrian embassy for legalization of my documents on feb 21th this month and this process will take about 8 to 12 weeks b4 i will be handed back my documents.
What if i submit my documents at the Austrian embassy and my Ad comes up can i go for my interview without my original documents?
Please respond guys

u

Try to findout the recent timeline for legalization of documents in Austria embassy.
Also find out the exact monthand week your appointment may come out using the recent schedule . Check telegram groups. They keep track of this.
If u have a window of opportunity to do both then better.

One more option is if Austria is your main choice and u have started legalization before ur AD comes out, you can do either of this
1. Send an email to embassy and tell them your original document are not available and you will submit it after interview.you may be given a deadline.
2. You cancelled your interview and send them an email to reschedule you. Someone who did this was successful. No guarantee though

Thanks for the information Bro.
18 months is a lot for someone that is seeking to start in 2024 Winter semester.
What if i get the admission and don't get to meet up with the Visa interview appointment, would the admission be voided?

As for research on town, i tend to Google the cities the Universities on Daad.de shows me, as to know if its a town or City, and their population also.

I feel that cities would give better opportunities than towns, i don't know if my feelings are actually valid?

As for research on the school, i don't know the aspect i should concentrate on, since i believe foreign schools are somewhat standard on a general scale.

I didn't graduate with a first class, and i don't know if the wait is worth it for a visa interview, or for me to seek admission in UK or another country altogether.

In terms of admission, if you get admission winter 2024, u can contact the school to defer, or you can enroll online before your appointment date comes near.

For this whole German process after using Daad u can try research online and Google universities in, or near big cities in Germany with or without tuition or uni-assit. U can also follow by searching for 'Nigeria students in Germany' telegram groups to get more info.

While waiting for Visa interview, apply for scholarships and other countries as plan B

Hello Hannania, thank you for all of the messages and information here.
So I got an appointment date for 20th
Booked: June 06 2022
Got a date: Jan 26 2024
AD: Feb 20
But my SL letter isn’t ready, as my sponsor didn’t get any close date. He got date for March 11.
I should still attend my interview right?
And to which email should I send this to the immigration at least to inform them before hand?

You can send an email to them explaining your situation in a straightforward way, and how you hope for a favorable response. If possible take any document proof that his appointment is on March 11, so they give you enough deadline. U can use this email and they will likely respond within the day. info@lago.auswaertiges-amt.de

Note: you should prepare for the interview as they would like tell u to still come and you will be given a deadline to submit it. Make sure the deadline is at least a month.

You are lucky o. I’m unable to obtain my official transcript, I have to pay #30,000 for every request. 😞

Why not process your transcript and address it to either an education Consultancy company or a private company that process student visa so matter how small. Even a private/ public secondary school/ college if u know someone in the Amin office around your area. That way you can use it for all your applications. That was how I did mine.

Please house, I really need your advice here.
My husband is 52 years and he wants to apply for masters in Germany. He has a GPA of 3.0 and a fail in Mathematics in his WAEC. He has like 20 years work experience in media though, he doesn't work there anymore. He has a sister who has been in Germany for over 30 years who wants to sponsor him. Please house, what are his chances? Does he need to do any additional exam? His he too old for the program? Is he too old to be sponsored by his sister? Please house, I really need your thoughts and advise on this!

While I may not be too knowledgeable here, getting admission will also depend on how competitive his course is. He can also try private universities. The WAEC fail in maths should not be a problem as long as he passed English Language. A better option will be to use his work experience and try the job seeker visa or get a work contract from Germany and go through the work visa. Just my thoughts

Hi guys.
I graduated with 4.5+ (first class), that qualifies me to be in category A, though I haven't started making applications due to some personal reasons.
Whats really bothering and discouraging me now is the issue of block account. I don't really have that amount of money to block and I don't have anyone that can help .
And most of the well known scholarships offered by the country requires German fluency, 2 years work experience which I don't have.
Does anyone know any university that offers funding with admission in the country, iam ready to work through that.
And if anyone has any idea on how I can go about it please should help.
Thank you.

There are a lot of scholarships in Germany against next year enrollment that does not require two years work experience and German fluency. Even if it's an internship in naija try and get so u have like six months work experience no matter d size of d company. U can check DAAD and mystipendium.de websites. But frankly speaking there's no way I will finish with a first class and not apply for more than 50 scholarships in the USA, Australia, Uk, New Zealand etc. and not get one. Don't just limit yourself to Germany alone and do a lot of research on scholarships
