mimilyrics:
Then you need to be well prepared. Also be ready to explain what you've been up to since your BSc and why you think now is a good time to get a Master's degree and the advantage your degree will give you professionally.
Read up all the variety of questions that have been posted on the thread to give you an idea of the kind of questions to expect. Also note that some questions will be based on your answer to a previous question. Don't divulge any unnecessary details that can work against you. Be concise in your answers. If you feel like you didn't hear a question properly, ask the interviewer to repeat him/herself. You can also check with the interviewer to ensure that what you say is what's heard.

Okay, I will do so. Thank you.

natstryker:

Thank you to everyone on this forum I really appreciate.

Thank you. This is my first interview. And first application to any school in the UK. Although, I have a long gap of between BSc 2010 and work. I have been working.

mimilyrics:
Normally, the call will be to clarify information that the ECO is unclear about and expect the questions to come from any and every angle possible. Just be calm and answer the questions without contradicting any information contained on your application or divulged in your previous interview if you had any.

Yes, I've been working since 2013 after BSc in 2010. Thank you

natstryker:

Hello. I received an email now, and scheduled for an interview tomorrow morning. The email also reads from Pretoria (Unfortunately, the processing of your application has not been straightforward)
Please what does that message mean? Should I be worried? P.S this was a priority service 17th Sep. Ikeja

Looking forward to any input and advises on what to expect from the interview. @justwise, @mimilyrics @skymoore

Thank you

@mimilyrics good evening. Please if asked, do you intend to return to Nigeria after your studies? Can you give your opinion please. Thank you.

mimilyrics:
No, it's not but you have to know what accommodation options are available to you and the costs. I'm guessing that you used your school's address on your accomodation info on the application.

Thank you for responding. Yes I used the schools address as my accommodation ref on my application form.

mimilyrics:
No, it's not but you have to know what accommodation options are available to you and the costs. I'm guessing that you used your school's address on your accomodation info on the application.

mimilyrics:
Just responded. It's okay.

Same here @mimilyrics , I would like to send you a message. But may I ask if it is compulsory to pay for an accommodation now? In case I may be asked where or proof of where I will be staying? Can you advise? I have paid my visa fees and interview in 2 weeks...

Hello house, is there anyone who has applied to the University of Northampton and awaiting CAS? Thank you.

He is correct.
By the way one way ticket is more expensive.

Call him back and tell him to book you in an open ticket. It will be left open for 1year.

Cheers.

darlingtonNYIG:
Please who is experiencing this?

I called up wakanow.com to book a one way flight ticket for the 17th of September and the agent insisted since it is was my first time of travelling and not being a resident there that I have to book a return ticket. I insisted that people who had gone before didn't do that so I why shouldn't I book a return ticket when I am going with a study Visa, with this the guy said I will sign a declaration form in case the airline refuse me that I shouldn't blame them. Note, I intend flying with Air-Moroc airways. Thanks

Congratulations!! Go to Germany and succeed.

Cheers!

Admitted on 20th June.
Interviewed on 10th August.
AM dropped on 8th September.

All glory to God almighty.

I wanna start by advising all new comers to start reading from the beginning so you can get acquainted with all tricks and procedures involved. I started by reading some comments in part 2, I read all of part 3, then into part 4. I even read as I woke up for my interview that morning to be sure I learn anything new. The waiting period for my AM was not a good experience as I can not remember when last I fasted and prayed like that but its worth it.

Mr Bigman, Honourablesheyi et al really helped me and I so appreciate.

The slim young Frau shouted on me severally during my interview but now, behold my AM.

I am 100% ready to give back and I was greatly assisted here. PM me or write me via email at my signature, I will always assist as much as I can.

For those who just got Am, I used mansard insurance, its 22,696 or so for six months. Its about the best I can find.

God is great, I swear. lol

Congratulations

solarrr:

Hey @mrbigman1 I'm doing well and yourself?

I haven't been interviewed...

I'm yet to enter Germany hahaha... Loading by God's grace.

Thanks for writing me, I hope you are doing well too.

Cheers!

Mrbigman1:


Nne how far?

No come dey hear ur v again?

Ve u bin interviewed?

Abi u don enter Germany already ?

@hadassaheke I got your pm but couldn't access it.

How are you doing... Thanks for checking on me.

Hello @makinzwurld

I hope you are doing well... I haven't heard from you lately. Were you still able to fund?

Keep me posted.

Regards.

makinzwurld:
A BIG BIG congratulations bruv!

Thank you for the insight.

May have him apply with his other and myself...that may go?

LadyGuinivere:

Well the possible outcomes :
Both of you get refused or
The nephew gets refused and your are issued because you have ties.
The truth is that I myself am sceptical about one travelling with a nephew in view of the prevalence of child trafficking. So IMO u have a very tall job on convincing the vo. For starters you are yet to show why you should be issued a visa, then u have to show why it is important for you to carry your nephew. There's also a possibility the child is yours and your are trying to emigrate both of you that way #invosvoice
So start thinking of how you can convince the vo otherwise

Dear house,

1). I want to apply for a tourist visa to include my 4 years old nephew to travel with me for a 3 weeks visit having his parents and his school consent.

2). I hope my application will not be turned down since his parents are not applying with me?

3). I have had US visas and traveled...

Please advise, it's just a visit and intention to return and continue with my work and his school.

Looking for to your reply.

Thank you

Hello @dobeespen

My view exactly! I couldn't comprehend...

dobeespen:


This post is a joke. The German government owes you NOTHING!! they have their policies and the only people they owe it to serve are Germans. They didn't ask you to apply for education in their country, so they're not liable for any costs incurred on your part. instead of copying gbogbo ti gbogbo to help you with schooling in Germany, tell them to fix the shitty education here so we won't have to start looking for quality education elsewhere.

You won't demand this kind of accountability from your government, it's Germany you want accountability from. Mshew. Please delete this nonsense.

Hello @Reneawable0216,

First off, I will have to say sorry, but we are all experiencing the same thing.

After reading your post I felt really sad... But have you tried to weigh the situation and that procedures and policies change in various countries?

Are you kidding me that you are going to flood twitter handles quote politicians even the acting president
just German consulate has not decided to responded to emails on appointments? (now I was really taken aback and felt ashamed). It's looking more like the protest is farther than just wanting to school in Germany, I perceive!

I beg of us let's act wisely when we do things and stop making this Germans look so less on us. Come to think of if, a German can say if you push this much you can as well apply to a US school and getting scholarship or get non tuition free school in other part of Europe.

My Friend applied to a university in Frankfurt for PhD, after weeks of waiting, exchanging research topics with his supervisor, suddenly a mail came in and state sorry we can't continue with the admission process as the German as regulation has told them to pay attention to its citizens and remain mute about it! This was in March 2017. In April TUMunich did same thing applicants pursuing a PhD must have been a graduate from TUM.

I applied to confederation college in Canada what you are experiencing for Germany happened to me, I have even paid a 110$ application fee, until the coordinator said this (Unfortunately, we do require minimally a Second Class, Upper Division for admission to our post-graduate level programs in Engineering. This was set after recent discussions with immigration and other partners who work in Nigeria.)

If you have applied to a Canadian school you will understand that 2'2 goes for PGD I had gotten Conestoga and Lambton in 2016 but couldn't continue due to finance.

We on Canadian thread didn't floor the Canadian ambassador mails. We on the Canadian thread can tell you from August 2016 to February 2017 90percent of Nigerian applicants were refused because of changes in immigration policies, it is their country and can change the laws doesn't matter to the Nigerian president!

Why am I grieved? Please lets take decisions with wisdom so as not to kill other opportunities.... They have every right to do what they wish to do! Let's be diplomatic and have faith with prayers.

They will send appointment replies very soon before August ends by God's grace.... Be hopeful.

Sending disturbing mails can put them in distress and conclude not to go ahead don't you think?

In my opinion, quit the idea of social media protest, one thing you should know is that Germans does care like Americans too don't.

Sorry, for the long epistle! God bless us all, if it's His will to make it manifest no man can shut it.

Let's thread with caution!! I stand to be corrected too.

Cheers!

Hello @dobeespen,

You're welcome and that's okay.

Not to worry, you are heading to DE.

The other questions I believe were just for formalities that won't add up alright.

I wish you the very best.

Cheers!

Girl you remembered! I appreciate you checking up on me to find out how it was. Apologies on not commenting before now.

I feel a bit meh about the whole thing though.

If there's one thing I've learned from this Interview, its that they want you to go straight to the point. So its not really an interactive interview like I initially thought it would be, its more of a question and answer segment so you have to go straight to the point. Met the dark skinned lady that everyone knows, and to be honest I was a bit taken aback at the way she was shutting me up and telling me to get straight to be point. I mean I thought they wanted you to prove that you knew your guns, but every time I tried to explain each point on detail, she would say "please stop talking about all that and get straight to the point."

The interview questions are the usual. Why Germany? How I applied to the school of my choice choice? Why international business? Also asked me to name all my courses from 1-7th semester. I told her courses from 1-3 and told her I didn't know the rest biko. She also asked me "WO haben sie Deutsch gelernt" and for the life of me i couldn't remember what it meant! I got a brain freeze right then! I ended up remembering when I left

Because I had done a couple of years in a university she gave me a test.

"What is management? Types of management, explain macro management"

In essence, prepare for straightforward and direct answers. And be prepared to be shaken by the lady, but keep your composure. Others who have interviewed with that lady said the same thing about her and got their visas so I'm not too worried.

PS: She didn't ask for my WAEC scratch card oh, and I went with the printout of the details.

Hello @dobeespen

How was your interview at embassy last Friday?

Anything we need to know?

Was it the online waec online pin you printed that was submitted?

Thanks in advance.

dobeespen:


Oh snap. I thought you were in lagos. Aren't you going to come to lagos to pick up your visa anyways?

You can get the insurance in one day.

Congratulations Lanre!

Thanks for sharing your experience

Olanrewaju92:
Got to the embassy gate around 5:58 am " the one that demarcates American and German Embassy" come see crowd for there "American embassy people reach like dem wan go do crusade"
Got to German consulate by 6:01 am. Had to greet those on queue "they are visit visa" (E no concern).
Paulinus appeared around 6:09 am and started singing morning devotion songs from his android phone. The guy is just too principled and bit unethical "he told one OLD woman to sit behind even as there was no space for her to pass to go and sit behind as those in front were even willing to go back because of her age" be wary of him.
He called on student visa applicants "I was the only one on ground, so he called on me demanding for my appointment letter and passport"
We started sorting documents and on the long run asked of my baptism or vassination card, I told him I don't have and he said why? I told him I'm a Muslim and he said he's not talking about religion here that even Muslims have "with his ugly fair face". He started reasoning others applicants issue. He told me authoritatively that if any documents are missing and was told to go bring them, he wouldn't let me in anymore.
Successfully, I crossed his shackles constructed route.
Inside the security phase those guys were forming gods as if they are the one to gv me visa. Them too do like boss, I Register my name and passed through.
I was directed to go through the green line which I did. Entered the office and was shivering because of the cold and had to move back Cos of the A/C, very very cold.
I was called in by the VO "one small black Nigerian" (very gorgeous though but pulls in commanding character, from her charismatic self)
She started by
Ur documents, Ur original Certificates, Ur Visa fee, Ur courier envelope "thought I forgot that, she gave a command that I should go get it within 3 minutes" while the thing dey my documents.
