Today was my German Student Visa Interview, i.e. 1/07/2019.My appointment was at 10:45 A.M. at German Consulate, Mumbai. I had left home early at around 7:15 A.M., but alas, heavy rains made me a bit late, as I had planned that I would be reaching the consulate by 10:00 A.M. in the worst case, but that didnât happen, I reached just 2â3 minutes prior to my appointment and was about to miss the timing. So, please during heavy rains start extra half an hour early if you stay far away, like me, as I stay in Navi Mumbai.After the security checks, I handed over the asked documents at the counter, They were:1.Visa Interview Receipt2.Passport3.Demand Draft4.2 duly filled demand draft forms5.1 PhotoAfter submiting these required documents, I was given a token along with the guidelines about how to arrange the documents. I was also returned the documents except for photo, if I remember. I was also told to write my name, mobile number and passport number behind the demand draft. Please do not stick your photos on the application form. They will tell you when to do it.Then, I had to arrange the entire documents according to their guidelines at the waiting area. I was a bit nervous though, as I was alone and a single mistake in missing the document would affect my visa approval. So, anyways I was told to arrange the documents in order.First was Demand Draft, then 2 duly filled demand draft forms, then additional legal and contact information form.Then I had to make 2 copies of all the documents which I had carried with me. âI am just mentioning the documents, which they had asked for (they are not in order).They had asked for Application Form, Declaration on True and Correct Information Form, Admission Letter, Confirmation of payment of fees, Admission Contract, Embassy Letters, Health Insurance, Class 10 Marksheet, Class 12 Marksheet, Diploma Certificate (If applicable), Bachelorâs degree certificates (if applicable), Blocked Account information (if applicable), Bank Statements, Identity copies of sponsorers with their signs (Passport and PAN Card only), affidavit of sponsorship, cover letter (signed), motivation letter, IELTS/TOEFL certificate if applicable, German proficiency certificate and your passport copies. Make sure you sign all the copies of your passport.After arranging the above documents in the order as mentioned by them, you need to wait for sometime until you are called. Then you need to go to a counter for submitting your documents. The Visa Officer will first ask you to submit the passport with token, application form and photos. Then the Visa Officer will ask you to submit all the documents which are in 2 sets. Then that person will go through each and every document. Meanwhile, they will ask some general questions as well.The following questions were asked to me:What will you be studying in Germany? Which university?Where do you stay?What is your highest education qualification, how much did you score?Where is your university?Do you have a blocked account?What is the medium of instruction for your course?Tell me your motivation in one line.What is the duration of your stay in Germany? (If you are going for foundation course (Studeinkolleg), which I would be doing, you should also include the period you would spend in Germany after your foundation course. Like for me, one year is studeinkolleg, then 3 years of bachelor's, so it's a total of 4 years. This is vital as it will decide whether you are going there for a long period of time or not and this will decide you will come under which category, for long term visa it is category-D.Where would you be studying after Studeinkolleg?Do you know any German?After these questions, the visa officer was done with seeing the documents. The visa officer had not asked for my parent's bank statements, Income Tax Returns, Affidavit of sponsorship as I had already paid the fees well in advance, so my process was quite fastracked.They just asked 3 original certificates, viz. Class 10 mark sheet, Class 12 mark sheet and IELTS certificate in my case.After all these formalities, I was handed over the documents which were not needed by the visa officer. I was then told to fill a questionnaire and write a motivation letter on the back of the questionnaire. The motivation letter was supposed to include Why Germany as your study destination?, About your course and your future plans after your course. The questionnaire was quite simple and had just general questions. Only, 1 thing I would recommend you is that learn some names of few scientists of your field of study as that was asked on the questionnaire.After this, I was handed over the receipt of payment of Visa Fees, the passport was stamped with the date of visa interview and the type of visa category which in my case is a category-D and was told to get my passport stamped at the nearest VFS Centre, once I get my visa approved. It was also told that I should not contact the consulate for upto 90 days regarding my visa decision and that they will take up to 90 days for getting my visa approved. However, donât get scared that they will take so many days, they give it usually within 3 weeks as well, as it was the case with some people.After that, I was told that all my documents have been accepted.Looking forward to getting a positive response and get my visa approved. But, I have a gut feeling that it would be accepted as I have already paid the fees and have not left any documentation incomplete.Tip: Don't staple any document, just use office pins/U-pins for distinguishing one document from one another. However while submitting the documents, remove all the pins. Carry 2 photocopies of all the documents and take extra copies of demand draft forms, declaration of true and complete information form, additional contact, and legal representation form as if there are any errors you can get them rectified over there. Do check the visa fees properly as I saw many people had committed this mistake and bought the DD of incorrect amounts, leading them to go back. Also bring as many documents as possible, as you never know what they may ask. They had not asked for air tickets, though I had booked it. So, it's your choice whether you want to book the air tickets before the visa interview or not.If you have any queries, do ask me.P.S. I am going to Germany for a bachelorâs, hence the one-year foundation course (Studeinkolleg).All the best for your Visa Interview.Edit: My visa got accepted on 4/07/2019, which is unbelievable.Do watch my YouTube videos related to German student visa as I have given the enitre process of obtaining the visa in detail.Please subscribe to my channel.
