You can deceive the full house but not me. I am intelligent to refuse this attention seeker's post here. Here are some of your post on south Africa thread recently and 30th September. I know how careful and efficient Germans are and your visa cannot be approved without proof of financial means. Even if Embassy approved mistakenly, remember foreigners office too will review it. Applications without prof of financial means are marked incomplete online and sent as ''incomplete'' For your information not only one VO reviews your application before it is fwd to Germany for further review and approval. Please go back to your south Africa thread and stop seeking attention here. I wonder why people will just behave like this ,,, smh...

I love Cape Town!!

@Luk4nans
The owner of this test is going for Mechatronics Engineering. Your test will depend on the course you are going for. I was privileged to get a test transcripts of a guy going for Medicine, all his questions are majorly Biology and few chemistry; nothing like maths or Physics at all. If I can still locate the sheet, I will post it here. The test questions above may not be totally applicable to you depending on your course but it can serve as a pointer to the likely questions that may come out. Just find out the two subjects that are closely related to your course and read up on them. In addition to that maths questions, read up on factorisation, like "4a-(8a+1)=", then know the diagram of these angles: 45, 90, 180 and most importantly BODMAS provided your course fall within Mechatronics, Electrical Engineering and other maths and physics related courses. Best of luck. Shalom

Good day house, I have been following this this thread for a while, it's been very informative and I have managed to learn from here.

A friend of mine was at the embassy today and the lady that handed him his rjtn letter told him that he could appeal and that they are starting a New process and that now it's going to be written interviews and that one should study even harder.

I still have my interview for the 16th of October,I just want to know if anyone has theirs before this time. And if anyone has infact written this exam so I can get an idea of what the exam is like.

I got admission to study environment and energy studies. Rhine-wall university of applied science..
Thanks for your needed response..

2 schools. Institute of Cultural Diplomacy, Berlin and Hochschule Furtwangen. I have contacted my coordinator and she has confirmed that in case my visa is delayed, the school will issue a confirmation of possible late arrival. I'm just a little concerned. That's all. Please do you have any idea about temporary hostel is Berlin?

@ pauluche Pls wat kind of test questions for msc students

kciano:


I still dey nigeria ..I neva travel yet ..hw u dey bro ..u don hear from embassy ... @iyke...Dat was a nice tip..I will sure take ur tip ...I must carry palm oil ...

iyke20024:
Congrat to everyone who has gotten their visa and for those who arrived safely in german.. We thank God for a safe trip

I travelled on Sunday with air maroc. Its was not a bad flight. Flight was on time in Lagos - Cassablanca

In Casablanca it was delayed due to technical difficulties.. actually due to cabin control temperature.

Anyway the flight was smooth.

I am heading to Paderborn in NRW. However, spending 7 days in Berlin first. It was not my first time in Berlin Tegal..though I got someone waiting for me.

If its your first time.. please pay attention to details and signs.. some signs are in English. Have a simple dictionary with you just incase some details are written in Deutsch. it will help you not roaming around or wasting time. Best also ask question..

My story at Lagos Airport

I carried almost all sort of food items and other medameda

garri
egusi ((dont ground all only the ones you can use in 1 month or less. the taste will change if it is blended. i heard adding some pepper will help to preserve aít)
ogbono (dont ground all only the ones you can use in 1 month or less. it gets bad easily except you get techniques to preserve am)
dried fish - if possible i go carry smoke or fresh fish lol
palm oil
dried ugwu
grounded peppers
grounded crayfish
archi
dried bitter leave
dried okazi
aboliki - lol my guy advice me to carry am for cold
stock fish
indomie - naija indomie na one and only
pepper soup spice
grounded elubor
tyme
curry

and a lot more...

you can go with beans.. use same techniques below to add it later to your bag - in my case my beans is already in Germany

dont carry rice or vegetable oil.. its cheaper there

one bag loaded with food stuff plus another with my wares.. my hand bag contains my files, lapi,, etc

Airmaroc allows 23kg x2 plus a hand luggage..
Nigerians sha.. some carry 5 bags as hand luggage

first thing make sure you arrange your bag wella and measure your luggage. use the check in counter weighing machine for airlines not open yet. if you are much in time you will be able to do this. Reason is somne airline staff like air marroc, recalibrate the machine or don’t reset it and tells you your luggage exceed the weight. so you give some tip.. do it your self before.

Note if your luggage exceed with little digit is allowed.. like if maximum is 23kg.. you can have 23,6kg

Now my experience with immigration, custom and other staffs

I didn’t have any problem going through ticket check in

There was one guy also with a student visa going - This guy na ghost for nairaland though

The guys who were supposed to validate your ticket or check it initially would ask mostly those with first time visa where you are going... BTA.. ETC.. please note e no concern them. theirs should just be the ticket.

They need just your passport to identify you and check if it correspond to whats on your ticket.

If you have a one way ticket it also should not be a problem - I used a one way ticket

However make sure you got all possible document in your hand luggage ready. They are mostly looking for tips..

if they asked for BTA or whatever.. just say you will use your ATM. if they insist stand on your ground

As for custom the first guys would ask you to open your bag and say what do you have there..

I told them i have food stuff for my personal consumption.. I am strictly no bribe policy guy,,

he told me i have to give them something all else they will send me to their boss sitting by the side and she will demand I quarantine my food items or package well.

i refuse.. still insist its not written anywhere and my country of destination did not blacklist any of this item. Most impoprtantly is not for commercial sale or commercial quantity

he directed me his boss.. a lady.. I insist also i am not parting with anything.. the other guys where giving out money only one stood also on his ground.. at the end.. he said take your bag and leave..

if you decide to part with any money.. you can give 1000 or 1500 naira.. I will not advise this as it is relly bad for our county nigeria

Some trick for your palm oil

put in your hand luggage initially until after you are through with customs checking baggage

After that take your luggage down to your check in spot and out it back in. Make sure to tie it with black sack so its not transparent

Going for boarding...

You dont need yello fever vaccination
you dont have to show physical money as BTA or whatever
You dont have to give bribe..
Dont smile casually at them else they will politely as for money
your admission letter should be handy including your DB confirmation of funding

If you are travelling with Royal Air Marroc - Try to be at the airport as late as possible the previous day..

You can sleep in the airport..

What you will need in Germany

Make sure you have at least 8 copies of your passport photograph it will suffice in enrolment or other stuff.. its expensive to take one here
I got 15 copies for 400 naira in Nigeria. Thats less than 2 euros

You need a socket for your electrical appliances.. you will not find 3 pin socket here..only 2 pin tiny round socket points. if you have the usual two pin round plug then you don’t need a special socket converter

if you are going to live in a university hostel, make sure you come with a LAN cable and your computer LAN hardware is functioning. Most private apartment use WLAN..(wifi).. your computer should also be able to use this

If you can get BTA from the bank in Nigeria..and have enough money.. get as much as you can..this caan be useful if you need to fund your account again especially if you can not make it up by doing other jobs. Another reason is our Nigerian bank use different rate on their atm.. it also comes with some charges

You also need a nice socks.. one thats can absorbs heat..

You also need nice shoes.. not flat soul shoe.. Special shoes for winter. You can get OK shoes also at yaba market.. just close to the train track.. ask anyone.

winter jacket...with head cover to protect your ears

come with some nice oily cream.. its so freaking dry here - you can buy here though..but remember some soap here is written cream and you fit dey rub soap thinking its a cream..lol,,my first experience in 2013

you may also buy some nice pens.. na 20naira for naija..lol or go to one euro shop in Germany for writing materials and note

Don forget condom.. its expensive here - i no say some of una don dey reason different matter.. who knows.. Cold too much here also

what else.. guys i don tire to write

Anyone close to Paderborn..cities like Hagen, Dortmund, Düsseldorf..Koln.. send me your email or pm.

from next week na hussle preparation..

All the best guys and wishing all visa hopefuls will receive their manifestation as soon as possible

RoyalPurple:

Am so happy. Visa approval mail just entered. God is a faithful God cos He has never failed. Others awaiting too shall get theirs.

victz:
Leadway Assurance is located between Costain and Alaka Bus/stop. Corporate Office 121/123 Funso Williams
Avenue, Iponri Surulere.

Avoid speaking with the security guys at the gate. If they ask u where u are going tell them that u are going to the reception to make enquiries. Don't let them know what u want cos they might look for another Bolaji to link you up with so they can collect their shares latter.

Or you can PM me let me give you the contact of the lady in charge so as to avoid walking into the arms of the imposter Bolaji or another one chance fraud star.

bigzzz:
Good day friends, just to quickly announce to the house that I picked up my visa yesterday.

It took exactly 9 working days after my interview to get the approval. Please note that on my call, my program coordinator asked the Aliens Office to please speed up my visa process as my enrolment deadline is fast approaching and fixed.

Of course it wouldn't have been possible without God; hence I'm thanking him again for answered prayers. Also, many-many thanks to every member of this thread, some of whom often go out of their way to help others here: Y'all are the best!

To those awaiting approval and those yet to apply, I wish Y'all success #GodGotY'all. Cheers

What is wrong with using a SPONSORSHIP LETTER?
Visa interview was held 25th August. Just this morning, the alien's office told me they only received my application electronically (from the embassy) on the 10th of September (16 days after interview) and that they are still waiting for the embassy to send my original documents to them (alien's office).


Panic mode activated as enrolment deadline is 14 days away...

Cent24:
