Hello guys, my sister got admission to a Canadian school. She is married with two kids (3yrs old & 1 yr old).

Can she apply for visa for all of them or she should just take the 1 yr old.

Thanks in advance

I didn't finish from Unilag, but the recipient for my transcript was my boss. It read "The Manager, Mr Ademola....ABC Limited. Lagos, Nigeria.

Good afternoon house, May all our efforts yield success in Jesus name.
I heard there is a way for those who graduated from Unilag to get their official transcripts in their hand.
Either by using a company to collect it or something. Please anyone who has knowledge about it or has done it before should please chat me up.
Thanks.

The work permit and Family re-unification is another category of long term visa. They are just stating clearly that those applying for that category (work permit and Family re-unification) should not apply through the student long stay visa.

Does this mean Nigerian students will no longer be allowed to work in Germany?
Has anybody gotten a visa lately under these conditions?

The CBN has 6 different FX windows and each have different FX rate. Dangote as a business man will use a separate window from the one students will use. And banks borrowing from each other will also use a separate rate. The 6 windows are:

1. Interbank - banks borrowing from each other (in bulk o). And this is known as the CBN official rate - N349
2. NAFEX - (Nigerian Autonomous Foreign Exchange window)
3. NIFEX - (Nigerian Foreign Exchange window)
4. I & E window - (Investors and Exporters window)
5. SME window - (Small & Medium Scale Enterprise)
6 SMIS window - (Secondary market Intervention sales) and this is where Form A belongs.

The rate at which the CBN sell to banks in the SMIS window is usually close to that of the parallel market. And according to CBN rules, they are not allowed to make more than a certain percentage on the funds, I have forgotten the actual rate but i think they can't mark up more than 200bps (2%) and because of the tight competition within the banks, they can't even maximize the whole 2% sef.

So it's not as if the banks are ripping us off, it's the fact that in Nigeria we have multiple exchange rates. Often times, it is cheaper and easier to buy from the parallel market, and that's where i bought mine before coming.

The only advantage of buying from the banks these days is the fact that you are guaranteed that it's not "fake money" and that you are buying from real source as some banks don't allow you invest the money if it's gotten from the "black market".

I hope this helps.

NB - I am not a staff of Zenith Bank

NelsonOBN:
All these banks are playing us. They'll use our document to collect official rate from CBN and they'll resell it to us at their own rate..

403 is parallel MKT price
349 is CBN rate (though fluctuate with fractions)

I believe it should be A.

Hi dear,

I didn't have a scholarship. BA means Blocked Account

Sarcasticmofo:
Congratulations boss on your Admission and scholarship. Please which school gave you this full scholarship, I would also like to apply. Thanks

Thanks a lot, Got AM today

Eldeee:
Wow, this is really killing. please try to get the exact contact for your city's foreign office, mail them politely requesting to know about the delays, once you get a response from them, attach the mail with a polite note from you pleading they assist you considering your enrollment date so as to enable you prepare before studies commence.

All the very best

This was exactly what happened to me.

Got the AM today, full gist later sha. Let me go and submit the Insurance and passport.

Thank you for offering to help

dolpaz:
At times, the embassy act unprofessional with student's visa application. I have seen several scenarios where the embassy forgot to send the application to the applicant's Alien office. It was after direct contact with the Auslanderbehorde that we got to know that Lagos was yet to forward the student's application.

Which city are you heading to..?

Perhaps, I could help out with the email and you take it up from there.

Please, don't fold your hands/arms to watch these guys delay you unnecessarily.

You shall testify at the end.

All the best !

Yes oo

I just got it today.

Phew!!!!

It ended in praise....

Chriswazo:
U mean you are waiting for AM since December, even with BA?

My own na BA and I fully funded before interview in Dec. I am tired sef

The wait is killing!!

I pray it ends in praise

dailydolar:
my guy has proved beyond reasonable doubt that he really got the summer place instead of the winter the school start in his chosen university so I thinkbhe should try and give us a tipbof how he did it when he fully settles down
And that also proves what I say about Germany its per head what rocks your boat might sink mine so Germany waka is per head people have gone to Germany without SL or BA and people have been rejected even after funding some SL have received AM after two weeks while some BA has stay longer so na per head .
Make una enjoy

na wa o.

Thanks dear

Jeschi101:
I know how you feel, don't be disheartened will sure get AM by God's grace. I'm also waiting, had my interview Dec 11 and nothing. Have also mailed the embassy and my school still nothing.

Na wa oo

Thanks.

Lacazette1:
Chill mate. You still in the 7th week. You will get it.
However, keep tracking your envelope, embassy can be funny at times.

Hi guys,

I did my interview Dec 28 and I am yet to get AM. This is the 7th week now. I have emailed the embassy 3 times- no response, called the foreign office in my city and they referred me to the embassy. I used blocked account and funded before my interview. Pls who has any idea of what might be happening??

It's frustrating

Early Dec..., they got back to one in a little over 3 weeks and the other after 5 weeks

Jeschi101:
please when did they go for their interview?

Congrats.

It takes about 4-6 weeks to hear back from the embassy, could be less if you have scholarship.

This happened to me for the last winter admission, my school said they cannot interfere in the process neither can they grant an extension. I had to forfeit the admission.

But from what I have read on this page you can reach out to your school and ask that they give you an extension. Ask for one month extension and pesent that as an additional document during your interview.

All the best

quote author=Bastelbastel post=75268688]Good evening everybody. I am new here.
Thanks for making this platform worth visiting. I have gotten a lot of information here that have really helped me.

I secured admission to study Micro and Nano Technology for the summer semester in Munich. So yesterday night I sent a letter to the embassy to book appointment for visa and I got a response this afternoon.

My schools resumes on the 15.03.2019 but my appointment is scheduled for 28.02.2019. Now my questions are there;

How long does it take to get a response from the embassy after the interview?

can my school influence it so that I can get an appointment for an earlier date so I can meet up with the resumption date?
has anyone here such an experience before? Please i would like to know.

I will appreciate every response given here. thanks[/quote]

I know like 2 people that have gotten. Still awaiting mine

schwenin:
Please house has anyone that applied for Student Visa gotten Am this year?

Thank you

erny11:
Go to facebook and search for their group/pages

Got admission into Hochschule Kaiserslautern, campus is in Zweibrucken. Google doesn't even have anything to say about the Zweibrucken city. I love small cities, but this just seems too small with no info to even arm myself with concerning student jobs or accomodation. Looking for someone with any info on the city pls.

you can call them or email them if you are really worried and they will respond.

physle:
Anybody can reply to my previous post please it really weighing me down and i will like to know this i deposited 7330 euros in my block account will i get the notification in my finitiba app showing the amount i deposited or its when i complete the payment i will be able to the see the full amount in my finitiba app.

I got my confirmation on the day of my interview. Had to print it at the car park for N1,500 per page

Pentagonparagon:
Please who is having problems with Fintiba, I sent money to my account since 31 and the confirmation never show have check my Fintiba account but it has not been credited

Yes o.

I registered late for the winter semester. After I received my admission letter, I couldn't get an interview date and the school refused to give an extension. I even emailed the embassy with my admission letter and the rest and i was told there was no date available.

But you can still try. Everyone's story is different and you never can tell.

Ndkings1:
Sir, are you saying that we that are still waiting for summer admission will encounter problems with visa and other stuff if we eventually gain it between now and March?

I collected the Euro in cash and deposited it into the dorm account myself. The mallam sef no gree to transfer.

Bought mine N413.

Dannyozs:
My people, happy new year! Please those that successfully funded there blocked account, this is the step u took; open a domiciliary account- buy euro from money changer by going to the bank with the person then transfer from the domiciliary to your sutor bank. My question is how do u convince the changer to make the transfer to your account before collecting the naira equivalent? Also how much did u buy euro per naira ?(I know the rate is not stable, just asking).

N30,500

Pentagonparagon:
Please I need to know how much is visa fee now

For most schools, application deadline is 15th Jan. But check the deadline for the school you want to apply to. Get all your documents ready and send using any top courier service, they deliver in 3 working days.

As for the proficiency letter, I sent mine to a friend's office and collected it.

Soothing:
Good job here guys.
Please can I still meet up with summer admission ?
Also in demostrating English proficiency using letter from my undergraduate University, is the letter going be addressed to d institution or to uniassit direct? Because I planned to apply to 2-3 schools through uniassit.

The dorm account can be anyone's. it's just like a normal transfer.

If you have been using the bureau operator for other FX transactions, you can take the risk. in 2-3 days, you will get confirmation for your transaction from the German bank

kendoschurrle:
Please one question.. Must the dorm account be in your name? Is it possible to pay a bureau operator for them to transfer the blocked amount on your behalf?

Almost the same with the parallel market rate joor, difference is like 1 Eur

If you can, open a Eur dorm account and buy Eur from aboki and transfer.

sagbar:
Please for funding with form A, what’s the exchange rate?
