My visa story


My visa story started when my father convinced me to go to Germany for medical education after my ISC in St. Xavier's kathmandu.After my ISc exams were over I then did 3-4 months of pre-medical course and then rushed towards Goethe Institute Kathmandu a renowned German language institute in Nepal.Than with much more difficulty i passed the A1 level in German Language then joined the A2 level.By that time I's also applying online and I got the acceptance from Muenster University.Then rushing for the visa process I went to my home to make all the relevant documents.Then after coming back to the place where German Embassy was there in Nepal I applied for the visa.By that time I was also doing my A2 on Goethe.When the first time I went for submission of the documents they said that the documents I've submitted were not full so they turned me back.I then again went to the visa section for submission of the form but they again said that my flight reservation was too fast and they couldn't do the the processing too fast.I then postponed the flight reservation .By that time, I had to again post pond my travel and medicine insurance .The after all those hecks I went to the Embassy and that day only they accepted my visa application form and called me for the interview.The interview was after 2 weeks and I was worried what to do for such a long time then i started spending most of the time outside my hostel.Then the day of interview came then a call came form the embassy by 8.40 in the morning.I had to be at the embassy by 10 they told.
Then I went to the Embassy and I was made to wait for 1.20hrs in the waiting room.Then a fair lady came and asked me if I was Saurav Pradhan.I said yes.She took me to the interview room.
By that time my fear was already gone.The lady questioned me for bout half an hour and said me that the intrview was over.Then I asked her when should come again to know about my visa process.She told me give a call to the Embassy after 3 weeks.By that time my German going process has already elongated to 7 months including my time on language classes.
After much wait of 3 weeks I called the Emabassy and I was mad to hear the answer.
They told me that my first interview was not so good so they asked me to come again for the interview.I was completely insane by that time.At the same time I felt like leaving all these hecks and starting my bachelors in Nepal itself but then I too remembered the time and money i loosed during the whole process.
Then I again went for the the so called 2nd interview.They just interview me for 5 minutes and said that I could go back.I then called the embassy the following week.They told me to come to Embassy by myself.The next Monday I went to the Embassy with much hope.Most of the students that day were getting the visa.Then my turn came to go inside.As i entered the visa section it started raining very badly so I thought something really bad was happening to me.
Then I went inside the visa section picked up the microphone talked to the visa consular.Then the consular replied"You had a great chance but you couldn't make it".By these words I was broken.My dream of going to Germany for medical education got shattered that time.
I went home and made up a mind to write the appeal letter.Then with a help of senior O wrote the Appeal letter.
Here the link photo of my appeal letter written by my own hand:

After I submitted my appeal letter next day they said to call after few weeks.They even told that the process may elongate too long and even no decision may also come.
So I talked to my father and said him that I wanted to go to Bangalore,India for some computer courses.He accepted me on the first trial.Then the very next day I came to Bangalore with my dad and started to do BCA .I am living on a college hostel now whose condition is miserable.But after all Bangalore is a great place to be in.
After coming to Bangalore I send the mail to German Embassy but they replied me that my visa was completely rejected.
Since then I've been thinking that medical education was not for me so they rejected .
I'm happy here in Bangalore doing my BCA despite missing all my friends,family and the whole country Nepal.
