VFS Application Process. My bad experience at New Delhi Visa center for Germany studies. 

Which document was it?

I am so sorry to hear this unfortunate incident. If this was US you could have sued VFS and would have win the case by now, but this is India, anyone can do anything without abiding rules and laws. Was yours normal process or premium lounge? And you will surely need aps now, because new slots, if you don't hold already, will only be from Nov and onwards.

@@Rajat_Sharma_Vlogs It was premium lounge service and after watching your video I can confirm this is exactly how pathetic vfs's premium lounge service is. I spent nearly 7 hrs on that day, in the VFS office with absolutely no result.

@@sayedkaif2816 That is another story altogether, I was missing the blocking confirmation letter, I opened my blocked account with fintiba and transferred the total payment in two installments, now one of the genius employee at Ebixcash (partner of fintiba in India) emailed me asking the tax on international transaction above 7 lakhs. I immediately transferred the tax amount to them asking if they are sure I need to pay tax (as I and my brother made that payment separately) after successfully wasting 3-4 business days they came back apologising for sending email in error and that I was not supposed to pay the tax, then they transferred payment to my blocked account (which they kept on hold). I notified fintiba about this issue stating that I need the confirmation letter for visa application but they assured me to show them all the payment receipts and other documents as a proof of blocked account being opened and they would accept it. However the VFS denied to accept any such proof, I emailed again to fintiba for immediately sending the blocking confirmation but received no reply until 8 days, ironically later on vfs appointment day I received blocking confirmation naturally on the app.

@@michellesehgal7616 Your case is like absolutely the reason I keep fighting against the pathetic service from VFS. I hope you also wrote a complaint to Embassy, doesn't need to be long, but to the point, that VFS wasted your time in processing, kept you waiting, and then wasted your appointment slot, costing you half year delay in your education, plus all extra expenses, and worst is the mental stress they give to other person. Please I request you to write a brief complaint to Embassy as well.

Thank you so much 😊

Which document was it which you were not taking?

Maybe VFS Delhi is the worst. It's a common scene in VFS delhi for most candidate to spend 4+ hours in premium lounge. And when was ur appointment btw? Things lately are much worst.

But great to know u had good experience in your situation at VFS Mumbai. Thanks for sharing.

@@Rajat_Sharma_Vlogs 7th September..got my visa on 7 oct

Normally what are the documents that they ask for printout. we do follow the checklist that they have given. than what else is required. please update

Lols..

Exactly. Bangalore VFS is much better

where to upload?

Sad to know that you also had poor experience with VFS global. Hope the worst has passed for you, all the best.

Did they ask for second sem fee?

@@realGeezus nope. My uni is public so maybe because of that.

Good to know that VFS Chennai is in better state.

Thank you

Submitting passport is optional. They don't usually keep it, but it can be asked by candidates if they want to keep passport with embassy so they don't have to come back to deposit it for stamping. But many prefer to not deposit it, in case they need it in the meanwhile, and no one knows how long the process can take nowadays. For public master usual processing time is 30 days.

Hi Rajat, do you know for Schengen visa, you can retain your passport ? Is there also a priority service?

U got visa ?

​@@harishthakur145no got refused

If it's just a single digit mistake in passport number, and rest all info is correct, then they may fix the issue and allow you to do the processing. Your presence with a correct passport should be assuring enough to them, I hope.

Pls write an email and confirm with them regarding this issue.. or else you would simply waste your time

VFS guys are very strict and not flexible..so better to confirm it beforehand

Hi I have the same issue . Just wanted to know wether that issue was solved? were you able to get the appointment?

Interview are compulsory for bachelors if less then 90%. For master and above 90% embassy can still call for face to face to telephonic interview, depending on case to case. Usually it's done to verify past education or experience info.

@@Rajat_Sharma_Vlogs ohh 90%+ in 12th or 100+ in testas right ? okay i was doubtful regarding bachelors thank u.

New appointment will only start from 1st November and onwards

Bro change your batch ! mail BSBI they will defer you’r batch

Hlo bro number send kari

Number send kari

Since you have finished bachelors so undergraduate...

@@Rajat_Sharma_Vlogs thanks 👍

VFS don't take any interview it is just for documents submission

TestAS is in English

So sorry, but no idea about specific books for testAs...

Your passport would be couriered to the address that you will mention to them at the time of stamping process. If they collect passport earlier during the application, then at that time itself you will have to let them know the address. The processing time for Visa is 45 days then 9-10 days for stamping if it's a separate process. Depends on how Bangalore VFS/Consulate is doing it.

@@Rajat_Sharma_Vlogs Thanks a lot Rajat much appreciated ☺

Same documents are needed for all VFS. But now new APS application process is must for study visa before applying for Visa appointment at VFS.

@@Rajat_Sharma_Vlogs thanks 👍😊

APS department is overloaded. Currently, they are processing batch of application made around 10-20 Oct. So probably they have not even stated with Nov applications. It can take up to a month from now.

Hope your issues/queries should be resolved by now - I covered your query in set of Q&A videos, link below - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE--AR5rbR632o.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ywpM10ZbZlU.html

U must have received msg by now mentioning the file has been sent to embassy for further processing.

Bro did you get your visa ?

No

I received the msg on 11/10/2022 that documents received by embassy

@@kurbaansingh8975 now u got ur visa?

Usually it’s dispatched in next working day. So may be for you it will be further processed on Monday.

No. Plus you don't have to submit original anywhere.

Did they ask you proof for second sem fee?

Hi Praveen, could you tell me if you were asked for the second semester's fees?

Did they asked you?

Hopefully you have already got stamping related update by now so you can fly soon.

As per my understanding. Embassy ne kahi IELTS compulsory mention nahi kia hai. In checklist, they have mentioned, ki agar student k pass university se admission letter nahi hai jime mention kia ho student has sufficient language skills to complete the course, then only student have to show a language certificate of language in which the course is. To agar university apka language level accept krleti hai, be it basis on anything, like IELTS or TOEFL or PTE or DuoLingo or MOI or just interview, and mention in their official letter that you have sufficient language skills, then that letter itself should be enough as language proficiency proof. So technically embassy ko koi aur proof ki jarurat nahi honi cahiye. But agar you have not give any language test already, and have to give it for getting admission, then it's better to pick IELTS or TOEFL as these are the most popular English test, and Goethe for German. Agar Embassy ko koi issue nahi hua, then wo bus apka admission letter k basis pe hi language proficiency proof accept krlenge, but agar Visa officer ki wish hui to wo apse IELTS/TOEFL (if English course) ya Goethe certificate (if German course) present krne k liye bhi bol skte hai, they have every right to do that. For example there can be these possible scenarios - Case 1 - Uni accepted PTE, gave admission letter mentioning sufficient English proficiency for course, Embassy is happy with it and doesn't ask for IELTS and issues Visa. Case 2 - Uni accepted PTE, gave admission letter mentioning sufficient English proficiency for course, but Embassy is not happy with it for any reason (like candidate have low score in past, or his/her Uni is private or less reliable) then they will ask for IELTS or TOEFL separately. Case 3 - Uni accept your language proficiency based on PTE or MOI or DuoLingo or any way but does not mention it on Admission letter that you have sufficient language skills needed for the course. Then you must present one of the certificate mentioned by Embassy on their checklist like IELTS / TOEFL for English or Goether for German. I hope this clarifies things. Plus, this is just based on my best knowledge. Also, do write an email to embassy (specially Kolkata consulate replied more often), to know if you still need IELTS/TOEFL even if your uni has given you an admit letter with mention of language proficiency. Only embassy can give you right info based on your case/situation.

Yes. After getting aps certificate then you have to get new appointment.

No interview for masters usually. But can be called in some cases.

The University of Europe is better.

bta rhe hain ya pooch rhe hain aap?

It's usually available as combo with blocked account... If you need blocked account as well then that's the bes way...

@@Rajat_Sharma_Vlogs bhai I already take block account (Kotak Mahindra Bank) but now I need health insurance

@@varissingh7527 You can buy student health insurance directly from TK then. On TK's website look for student application section. www.tk.de/en

@@varissingh7527 Other public provider like AOK, DEK, Balmer are also good. But TK is most popular among students.

@@Rajat_Sharma_Vlogs thank you bhai ❤❤❤❤❤

Student visa. D-Visa for long stay.

Bachelors or Masters? Private or public? For public + master it can be 30 days, for private + bachelors it can be 60-90+ days...

@@Rajat_Sharma_Vlogs Thanks bhaiya, faadu aadmi ho aap. Comments padhke hi mere toh kafi doubts clear ho gaye.

Any format issued by Uni should be fine. Uni should already have idea about extension letter formats.

@@Rajat_Sharma_Vlogs My Uni has provided it at mail. Should i print it out and submit it?

I have a made a separate video on this in past already. Please refer to that for more details.

Bro I have already made a video about my timeline... I entered waitlist in June...

Ok buddy best of luck

No. Passport is returned after processing. No update yet, it has only been 3 weeks so far.

As far as I know, only Delhi accept cash payments. But please do call VFS to confirm the same.

Hey got any update about PTE is accepted or not

Updates bro???

My course was masters so no interview. Also my uni is Reutlingen University, at MBA scool is ESB business school.

If you are talking about VFS service, then they may help in filling form for your visa.

No. You have to prove that you were living in the VFS's covered region from more than last 6 months.

@@Rajat_Sharma_Vlogs there's no VFS in my home city, the closest VFS are Chandigarh and Delhi, which one should I apply to?

@@Rajat_Sharma_Vlogs How to prove that bhaiya? Mere aadhar card pe jaipur hai, delhi mein aata hai, permanent residence bhi same situation, koi prob to nhi hogi na?

Here it is based on different situations - aps-india.de/checklists/

Yes

No

Yes

Not sure. But mobile phones are allowed which have battery so power banks should be ok.

Not yet

Interview is done only if applying for bachelors and have less then 90% in 12th. No interview usually if applying for master or have 90% or more in 12th

You can print it there and add to your documents... Pdf is not accepted...

@@Rajat_Sharma_Vlogs If we will not take premium service?

@@mehulgajera7052 I don't know what the options are in that case, maybe they allow you some time like 1 hour to submit the missing document, and you will have to leave the center, find shops to get prints and then submit them. Or most probably they may have a section to do prints and stuff for some charges. But if you carefully complete your application, ensure to not give them opportunities to pinpoint missing docs, then even in normal processing it can be all good.

bro extension letter as in? Konsa extension letter, mai samjha nahi bro, bata do yar mera 1 week baad hi hai

@@vaibhavsharma3223 jab hame visa late milta hai toh extension letter college deti h.

No

Tq..sir m mba k liye jara hu defferment nahi hui abhi...interview hoga kya sir..

As far as I know, just showing blocked account with 1 year's worth of amount (probably 11000 Euro or something) is enoough.

@@ScarletGhost53 thanks 👍🏻

No separate appointment for biomatric, it's done at VFS on the same day u submit ur documents.

Nice u had fine experience. But not people have same option to pick another VFS center outside their region.
