dprinz99: wasn't realy the bank's fault the accepted to do the transfer but called me the next day to say DAT CBN rejected the transaction due to the fact that I was both the applicant and beneficiary of the fund xo pls,which bank did u do ur own? where in Lagos? and how long did it take? is der any possibility of it to be done in a week? When people say make una dey read earlier posts, una no go gree... Very many pages on this part 2 have been devoted to form A issues; had you read them, you may have been properly guided... "wasn't realy the bank's fault" I had to laugh after seeing this. So how did everybody that has used form A so far go about it? Well, good thing you're going to Lagos. Many people had posted that they used union bank and it went in 2-4 days from their HQ. I used Fidelity and it took less than 3 weeks (from PH). With the current removal of the forex ban on banks, yours should take a very short time. Good luck. |

babanila: After writing JAMB when the result is out, they will send you a JAMB Result showing the breakdown of your score and if you use it for admission, the university will request a copy of your result from JAMB office and your school can give you the copy. It's University Entrance Examination which all countries have theirs. I perfectly understand what you're talking about as I have mine. What I am saying is that unlike my WAEC and NECO certificates that have "Certificate" written on them, this one does not, hence I don't consider it a certificate. Maybe yours does, but mine doesn't. Besides I did not include it in any of my applications and it was not a problem. I am yet to see someone that did not include WAEC/NECO and was considered... |

ceemac: Forumites, as one of the listed requirement for Admission, what in our own term does 'Certificate that qualifies you for University Admission in your home country' means? Will that be same as WEAC or JAMB? WAEC/NECO Some schools may require UME, some may not. You can include it to be on the safe side. I did not include it in my applications though. You can just ask yourself a very simple question: "Does JAMB give you any certificate? Or does WAEC/NECO? |

Fesobi92: Thanks for the post..... But I have so many challenges understanding some things about the application documents required for admission into the German universities (ulm university to be precise). The school said I'll have to register through uni assist of which I have started. But I am stuck at the uploading of documents stage (on the uni assist application site) because I don't understand the following: 1. How do I upload my letters of recommendation from my lecturers or employers. Do I collect the letter from them and upload myself through the site? 2. Do I go to back to my school to request for my transcript sent to uni assist or do I upload and send the student copy I already have? 3. Can I get the photocopies of my certificate, waec statement of result authenticated at the high Court? Thanks in advance for your reply N/B: Ich bin kein Student von Ulm Universität!!! 1. Do you have any other way? Collect it by hand, scan and send. Or you could probably send it directly to uni-assist if they don't give you by hand. 2. "Do I go to back to my school to request for my transcript sent to uni assist" Maybe you could expatiate on this. If the transcript has been "sent", how will you re-request for it? Or do you mean another copy? Ideally, you should get your student copy and press on with all your applications (except explicitly stated otherwise). Even the deadwood copy you snailmail to uni-assist should be notarized/authenticated photocopies of the transcript. 3. Yes |

You probably filled the form right and the help you seek is not one people (speaking for myself here) understand. Go to the HQ of the bank in your state and insist to speak to the person in charge of international fund transfer. Insist it can be done. Not all banks will agree that's why you might have gotten more responses had you named the bank. I used Fidelity and it took 3 weeks (and lots of calls). People who used Union said it's smoother...

Adexhat: To God be all glory, honor & adoration this morning the a.m. mail dropped to come pickup visa. I had my interview since 1st September, 2015 but funded my account in December since resumption is January 6th and partly due to delay in getting my blocked account details. When I called the Alien office in December about my visa I was told that the embassy had sent my documents but recommended rejection because they presumed that my resumption was October! (i couldn't Imagine where they got that from)!!
To cut the short story long the embassy became blank to every emails sent to clarify the date issues both by my school & myself, school resumed Tuesday and it's quite overwhelming still being around even though last date of resumption was sent to them!
Many thanks to great friends & all contributors here like williams, eke40sev, rayhu, obiw, olaoch e.t.c. (pardon me if your name isn't mention & yes I can't forget dolpaz, the guy that first attacked me 2yrs ago when I just got on this forum )
To all still waiting or preparing for interview, just trust in God's grace & He will see you through!
Vielen danke und alles gute  Congrats man!! Nice one!! Gott sei Dank! Bethiano: Your English language ability is poor. Kindly improve. The level of phonological interference in your use of English is alarming. You repeatedly used "his" in place of "is", I could not bear that one. If you continue like this, Nigeria will completely be regarded as a non english speaking country. TOEfl and ielts go dey fat on top d austerity measures wey we country dey. Let's just agree that you were trying to be comical, like the last sentence above. Go to high court in Abuja or the German Embassy. Know that the German Embassy will charge a fee. High court in Enugu charge 30 naira per page. I don't know how much Abuja court will charge, you know every thing in abuja is Expensive, so budget 50-100 per page. For authentication and/or Legalisation, I advise you use the dictionary first, when that fails, I will write you an essay on the duo. Please I have dropped this piece of advice with all humility and no disrespect, but in love and protection of our common integrity as members of an English speaking country. A lot of us can pay to learn German, but not willing to make any extra effort to have mastery of English language. After secondary school, english language is stale news. Me I dey find centre wey dey teach english, I wan unlearn, learn and relearn. I wan speak pass Baba wole soyinka.lol But german dream ehnnnnn.... Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha  |

The greatest misconception many people have is that Computer Science is all about programming. This could not be further from the truth. Computer Science is more about Algorithms, Information Systems, Strategic Networking, Software Engineering/Architecture, etc... while Computer Engineering is more concerned about hardware (Some people liken it to Elect/elect Engineering). I don't know which is more lucrative, but will advise you to follow your passion And if programming is the only reason you wish to switch, by all means do not. Take online programming courses as these will serve you better. You can even take professional programs like OCP. Heck, I know graduates of Economics, Geology and even Law who are bad-ass programmers...  |

[quote author=Adexhat post=41508847][/quote]Hmmm... Let me briefly tell you my own experience, hopefully it will help. After waiting for the a.m email for a while with nothing forthcoming, I sent an email to the Ausländerbehörde here and they confirmed to me that my visa had been granted. After waiting for about a day or 2 and nothing from the consulate, I sent an email to them. This email also didn't get any reply, so after another 2 days, I put a call across to them only to be told that they "had not still received my blocking confirmation". I was like; "WTH! I sent it since so-so day to so-so email" and they said it was the wrong email address but refused to tell me the correct one. So immediately after the call, I combed this thread (including pt1), their website and Google and sent the blocking confirmation to every email address I could find regarding the German consulate in Nigeria... a.m mail dropped 45mins later  I'm not saying that may be the case for you, I mean there might be a communication gap somewhere! Someone there probably has not seen the confirmation of your school's resumption, etc, that is why I insisted earlier that you call, you never know... Mod: However, as time doesn't seem to be on your side, you should probably ask your school for extension of the deadline.Viel Glück! Guten Rutsch alles!!! |

Adexhat: @All, pls can someone advice on what to do in this case as embassy is yet to respond? I'm thinking of requesting enrollment extension but the question is where would I present it? Should i requesst for it before 6th and send it to embassy or what should be done to it?
Please I need a response asap. Danke.
e.t.c. Hallo! I think the embassy website will be quite reliable for information about Christmas breaks and the likes, maybe you should check it out. When you say enrollment date, I would assume you mean "enrollment deadline". If that's the case, for which semester How do you know the Alien office has already sent the approval? (I have been in this particular situation, but you have to be SURE, no assumptions). If you reply with no response, reply to all the emails you have and GIVE THEM A CALL TO TELL YOU YOUR STATUS AND IF ALL IS GOING WELL (This is what I did). MAKE THAT CALL BEFORE YOU ASK FOR ANY EXTENSION DEADLINE! And don't ask me for their number, get it from their site  Viel Glück!

Achtung!I have not painted anybody's experience here as untrue in light of what is the reality on ground. I have only insisted that everybody's experience will differ depending on many factors with the city being the most prominent. Nevertheless, I have in no way implied that anybody who comes here will have it as relatively easy as I did; your experience might be a lot worse than has been described here. Learn the language satisfactorily before your arrival (I would call B1 satisfactory, but that's just my opinion). That said, it is particularly saddening that someone will form a belief out of an experience, then go all the way to force it down on another even when the person is living an experience partially or completely different from the aforementioned belief Keywords: relatively, living |

I met this same guy here and he told me privately that he is now paying a lot of money to learn the language that Life is hard without it.
