Hi guys , i just received my ission letter for a master program in which begins 1st of October, problem is i applied for a visa appointment about 2weeks ago i got an email with my reference no but on the site it states i will have to wait more than a year to get an appointment. Please what do i do?

Hi, I will like to ask what school you got itted to?

TLD20:
I just received my second rejection letter from another university This is devastating.
I wish I can also be added to any available Whatsapp group on ission matters so I can know what am probably not getting right.
Meanwhile I have three offer from UK already but can't process because of the huge fee.

Sorry to hear that. The UK needs your money. So, unless the university is a high ranking one, ission is relatively easy.

Education is essentially free in . But it is also easy to get itted if you are diligent in your application process. The hard part is the visa. Now to your question.

Some possible reasons for your rejection:

1)You did not read the ission requirements. Applying to German universities often require lots of work because you have to read all the fine prints. Comb through the application pages and associated links to see if you meet the requirements. If they require specific undergraduate courses (as is often the case) they will not bend the rules. There is generally no abeg in . It is a rule based society.

2) NC. There's something called Numerus Clausus. Basically it tells you if meeting the ission requirements is sufficient to gain an ission. Every programme in a university is assigned NC based on the number of applications and number of available places. If the programme is "NC free" it means that once you meet the requirements you will definitely be itted. No ifs or buts. However, if there is NC, it means that applicants will be ranked based on some criteria (usually the criteria are disclosed) and ission will be given in order of ranking, based on number of available spaces.

While I don't discourage people from going for the best of the best, one has to be realistic and strategic. If you have an average academic profile (and this goes beyond your cgpa) and you focus on the the most competitive options, then you'll likely be disappointed. In my opinion there are three dimensions to the competition: the programme, the school and the City. As you might expect it will be tough to get itted to, say, Software Engineering in TU Berlin. If your profile cannot get you an ission to Edinburgh then RWTH Aachen will likely not it you? So be realistic. Apply to the competitive schools/programmes but also apply to the not-so-competitive ones where ission is almost certain. There are so many schools and programmes in . What's more? The difference in standard between the government owned universities is minimal. And employers aren't choosy.

Finally, I will reiterate: read the ission requirements!

All the best.

Hey Guys,
This German VISA forum is a very important group for everyone try to get a german visa in Nigeria. From what I can see it has helped so many people, and there are so many knowledgable people here. But the only limitation I have with this forum is the fact that one cant easily access keywords regarding certain problems.
I'm proposing that in as much as we have this group, we should also have a telegram group that one can easily search for chats with specific keywords.
Below is the telegram group link:

But masters or bachelor degree is not showing on the appointment letter….you can use any ission for category B

Please, can someone use the category A to book an appointment for a category Visa application, since the Category A is treated as priority and appointments are issued faster on that one. Got an appointment date with a category A but I’m a category B applicant. I need to know if it will work at the embassy.

Molly24:




That is what happens if you don't read well. Cat A and B has been explained consistently on this wonderful platform. Yes you are a victim but to laziness and incomplete research.

Please, do you know if one can use Cat A appointment invitation for a Category B application. I used the category A since it’s faster and I already got an appointment date, don’t know if it’s going to be an issue at the embassy if they find out that it’s not a sponsored Master’s program.

MrCadu:

Yes. Inbox me

Done boss. Please reply

Lol..dem go just ban you from booking appointment

Interesting thread. I am building a network of Nigerians in European countries on instagram. Please follow the page and invite other Nigerians in Europe that you know to follow as well. Lets create a network to share information and opportunities. It is only for Nigeians in Europe, those planning to come to Europe, when you arrive, it will be nice for you to follow the page as well.

Oh! Wow! Thanks for the information. Is there any agent that can help fast track a Category B visa? You also mentioned you used a category B appointment for your bachelor’s degree ission letter.

I just gained an ission for a petroleum engineering Master’s program in TU Clausthal. I’ve also recently seen that there’s a huge backlog of VISA appointments at the German embassy and lectures starts on October 17. I don’t exactly know what to ask but I would like to know what everyone else is doing about this.

Where did you use huge backlog of visa appointment?
Where?

Hello Fam,

Does anyone have an idea how much in blocked is required for a spouse in family reunion visa. The husband is still a student.

moduyoye:
Hello!

I figured it might help someone if I shared my visa interview experience, so I hope this is useful. Please feel free to ask any questions that arise or make corrections as needed. For reference I applied using Category A, first class received from January 2019, although after March 31st 2022, this category can’t be used anymore. You’d have to have a first class certificate received from January 2020. I also got a sponsorship letter from a relative. I did NOT use a blocked .

I applied for the interview online, pay close attention to the categories so you don’t make any mistakes. After submitting the application, I got a confirmation email some minutes later with my application number. I was given my appointment date and time in another email the day after. Please Note that you will need to print out the email with your appointment invitation, date and time.

Up until the interview date, which was about a month after my application, I spent time studying. Yes, studying. I was warned that the German visa interview process can be very detailed. I did not want to be caught unprepared. I’m happy I did.

I had my interview last week and honestly, if you’re not careful, it can be tedious. First of all, avoid everyone at the entrance and the digital centre as much as you can. They want to empty your pockets. the checklist and arrange your documents yourself, you don’t need assistance. If you’re sure of your port picture size and quality, don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. You do not need a coloured copy of your checklist. See, just avoid anyone at the main entrance and head straight to the actual gate. Don’t be like me, if you have a small bag and phone, take it inside with you, you can turn it off and drop it in a locked safe for free!! Don’t pay 2k for a safe that does not even have a door abeg.

My appointment was for 10:00am, I got there at about 7:30. I don’t regret it. At the actual consulate, your time of arrival will be written on the printed appointment email and stamped by the security guard there. Please wear a mask. He’ll sanitize your hands and tell you to sit on the queue. Another man will ask you to arrange your documents according to their own list. He’ll staple them and hand them over to you.

PS: The DHL prepaid envelope is important, do NOT get it at the embassy, they will empty your . Go to one of their head offices. It was N2550 when I did mine.

You’ll be directed inside after he’s done with you. He asks a few questions, (what are you here for, what category of visa {student/work}, what school…etc.). You’ll through a security check, smile at everyone abeg, they seem to be going through a lot, be courteous too.

I waited for a whileeee before I actually had my interview. It was done by one of the front desk officers. So please take a book or something to keep you busy, since you won’t have your phone. Anyway, they won’t have the most friendly disposition towards you, but don’t be nervous, raise your shoulders and speak with confidence. Here are the questions I was asked that I can .

What’s the purpose of your visa request?
What’s the name of your school?
Where is your school?
Have you been enrolled online (which apparently equates to have you started lectures)?
How will you be sponsoring your stay?
Why did you choose your course?
What do you plan to do with it after?
What does your relative do? How old is he/she? Where does he/she live?
They may also ask you random questions developed from your answer, eg, I studied history and international relations, I was asked whether I could speak French.

You’ll be asked to pay and the cross check a data form please actually look carefully as there was an error the first time with mine. It could cause issues if the data that was inputed by the consulate is incorrect.

Here are some tips to avoid wahala as well:
- Sign your Behlarung declaration forms and your application forms on the day of the interview. They stressed me a bit because I signed them on the days I filled them in.
- it’s really important that you answer confidently, no matter what. That’s why adequate preparation is advised. Over-prepare sef. HMU if you want a list of things I studied before I went.
- I repeat, avoid the digital centre and the vendors outside the gate. Avoid them o!
- Be honest with your answers, if you’re not fluent in Deutsch or if you don’t have a certificate, don’t say you can speak it abeg. Duolingo doesn’t count.
- Arrange your documents from home, staple the pictures onto your form, two photo copies of every original document is very important
- take extra port pictures.
- hold about 40k in 1000 or 500 naira notes (2022)
- Be punctual, answer clearly and audibly. Ask them to repeat questions or speak clearly, this woman was really whispering to me through glass window �.

I think I’ll stop here, it’s a really long read. Open to answering questions and clarifying anything.

How can I you? If you don’t mind, can you share what your appointment letter for the category A visa looks like(crop out your personal info)? An agent booked an appointment for me within a day and it seems fishy.

You people won't listen!

Don't use agent for German visa process. Why not give an informed Nairalander the money to enjoy since you have money to give agent?
