TravelRe: General German Visa Enquiries Part 2 by twinkle1(m):
You guys are all right.. Nd yea.. The guy should try to REMEMBER every thing he said during the interview.. Cs we all know they document everyword we uttered during the interview.. If he mistakenly goes contrary when stating his points in the return email .. Omo na some serious one chance..

Valid reasons will scale him through...

But to be honest.. This thread solves many issues .. You guys some people actually come in to the embassy BLANK.. I mean BLANK.. Thank God we for this thread..

There was another case of a guy right behind me when we were queuing to enter the embassy.

The guy was filling his 'application for national visa form' while standing!! We were even telling what to write.

Thank God for this thread..

I Dont know why interview in Nigeria is very difficult some times,I had an interview at the German Consulate here in Dubai yesterday is was as simple as ABC the lady asked how may i helped you,i told her im here for an interview so,she took my form and relevant documents entered all on system she told me to have my sit,at the end she called me back and asked me why Germany,then i told her due to Blabla bla bla,i even added my Certificate of employment here in UAE and my business card,she typed it on system then i did my finger print,we started gisting abt Lagos Naija cos she told me her dad have a bizz partner in Lagos i paid my visa fee,Then I kalas,If you are applying for Msc degree they dont question you that much but as for those applying for BSC or Diploma courses,they ask dem so many questions cos some of them cant even express themselves and not everyone of them speak English here,they have to be very sure if he/she is matured enough for the journey,the interview is not as tensed as Naija own o,cos the interviewer herself gan dey give those who where interviewed b4 me some expo.
Well interviews are not meant to be killing.. I guess different embassies have different styles.. The german embassy in naija just wants to really know your intentions.. Just prove your case..

There were TWO Guys during my interview that didnt know JACK about Germany and even their modules..
It was I and LMUHOPEFUL that had to tell them German states, Chancellor nd so so..
In our minds we were 'like seriouslyhuh'
One of the guys that studied in Russia said that during his interview they don't do any drilling when he applied to Russia .. But I just hope he did well..

So in short german embassy In Nigeria will ask u relevant questions sometimes drill you..

Nice twinkle. First step is for embassy you forward your documents to the foreigners office. You interview makes this possible.

After this how fast depends on the respective alien office. So your sound answers does not help here.

If they have more works or are really slow you can't change it or fast forward it.

You have a nice tips and I will advise anyone that have not done interview to follow it.
I Completely agree with you Bro.. The Tips I gave is for their preparation.. I just felt it was good enough because I also included other Nairalanders tips which I merged to help mine..

TravelRe: General German Visa Enquiries Part 2 by twinkle1(m): 6:54pm On Aug 16, 2015
You guys plssssssssss I'm not forming proud..

I really really want to help people on here who are preparing for their interviews..

To be honest the VO was EXTREMELY impressed with my organised answers!

Yes organised.. My answers were in points. Not in explanations or stories!

Points and facts only.. Short brief and hot answers! alone!

Even the security men who were inside Came to meet after the interview and said.. U don get this visa!!!

Now someone might say I was just lucky I funded on time and the foreigners office staff was around.. Well I won't Argue..like I said.. Im not writing this to pull stunts but to help new guys....

I posted this after my interview..


******

Interview was on point >>>>>>>>>

I'll give y'all break down later and critical tips...

OK now.. I'm back..

First of all... The Nigerian VO woman ain't scary.. But she no like disorganised documents at all.. Infact she bounced two people temporarily cs they didn't organise their documents.. Dem come dey do am for her front.. She bounced them na so I enter o.. Gave her 3 sets of documents.. I used that tiny paper clip to hold the 3 separately.. She really was impressed.. Infact she said it was me and one nairaland boy on here that have impressed her thus far.

So she Starts with
How did you know about the school?
What are your AIMS of ur proposed course? **she asked like twice to be properly sure**
What did you submit to your school?
Hmm you are you going to (city) .. Tell me about (city) . I. E she asked about the city.
How many semesters is ur msc course?
How many years is ur msc course?
Have u gotten accommodation yet? She will ask where if u say yes.
Why Germany and not UK!? She wanted real answers o.. You could see the intent in her eyes.
She asked again why Germany and not UK or US.
Have you been to Germany before.
Do u have relatives in the UK?
What uni did you go and what did you study?
Is your msc course thought in Nigeria?
Why do u want to study this PARTICULAR course

Omo she asks allll questions.
Her own interview dey TEY o.. But e sweet well well if u sabi.. Cs she add dey jara big timer.
Her jaras are on fleek.. She sabi gan forget.

Her own interview dey well over 40 mins.

What are your parents profession?

What why u doing after service.

Where are you working now.

Who is the Chancellor of Germany.

Name the 16 states in Germany

Name the countries that border Germany

The Nigerian woman is quite cool to be honest. But sha arrange ur documents well or else she go shine better red eye for u.. Even bounce you temporarily.


SO NOW HERE COMES THE CRITICAL PART..

TO ACE YOUR
INTERVIEW LISTEN GOOD..

JACK YOUR MOTIVATION LETTER PROPER.

IT CONTAINS UR AIMS AND REASONS TO STUDY IN GERMANY If YOU WROTE A GOOD ONE O.

that will save u from unnecessary information u might be checking about ur course and other sometimes irrelevant information.

ANOTHER CRITICAL

DO PERMUTATION AND COMBINATION ON INTERVIEW QUESTIONS FROM

1) Eke40seven
2)kennyoguns0509
3)Ahbbiey
4)Obiwannn
5)Adenjnr.

PRINT OUT THEIR INTERVIEW QUESTIONS THEY POSTED HERE AND MERGE THEM!

SEE LISTEN GOOD I PICKED THOSE 5. You can pick any other peeps on here that dropped potential questions as well.
GET FAMILIAR WITH ALL MANNER OF QUESTIONS.

You will answer questions without stress if u do this.

. this is another tip for THOSE FINDING HARD TO READ FOR INTERVIEW.

GET 3-5 FACTS ABOUT

STARTING FROM MICRO TO MACRO

1)YOUR SCHOOL
2) THE CITY OF YOUR SCHOOL
3)THE STATE OF YOUR SCHOOL
4)GERMANY

doing these you'll ace the side by questions.

Let me stop here for now......

To that nairaland guy I saw today.. Congratulations the VO was feeling you smiley

****

This is a stunt I pulled..

What are you studying this course for..

Me* im studying this course for 3 reasons

Number 1.....blablabla
Nummer 2... Blablabla
Etc

DID that for almost all *why** questions..

I hope this helps news guys..
Cheers...

kuthvic:
Hello all.
Advice 4 all those waiting for visa response over 8 weeks.

Please google out the alien office in charge of your intended city and call them .They have a lot of applications from all over the world so workload is much. Calling them may make them bring out your file and treat - (They are very nice, friendly & Helpful)

When you call try 2 communicate in German (if you already know the language ) or say" Guten Tag" then say " Bitte sprechen Sie Englisch ? ". They will then speak English with u

They will ask you your surname n age.

Then they will pull up your file
KUTHVIC YOU ARE VERY RIGHT!

PLEASE MY PEOPLE.. PARDON MY CAPS.. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT.

I broke the news about my visa approval yesterday..
It was just God.
The fact that the Foreigners Office staff that handled my case quickly and the embassy issued visa asap was just God.

The applications that the foreigners office staff will handle this winter semester will be higher and if delay is looming abeg just call them or someone should just contact them on your behalf as KUTHVIC said.

I think the foreigners office staff or staffs of your target designation are SOLELY responsible for the speed in visa approval. The embassy's own is to get confirmation and issue visa as we are made to understand.

I'm also very happy about my case because it will give hope to people that have a very short time for visa processing . At least mine was processed in 15 days precisely .
