Case study · Germany

Meera S. — MSc Computer Science (English-taught) at Technische Universität Berlin

From Tirunelveli, Tamil Nadu · Intake 2025

Visa type

National Visa (D)

Processing time

4 weeks

Tuition

€0 (public university, semester fee only)

Blocked account

€11,904

Background

B.E. in Computer Science, 8.7 CGPA, no work experience, Tier-2 college (Anna University affiliated).

Challenges

TU Berlin required an APS certificate — a 6-week document verification process
Blocked account needed €11,904 — family had savings but in a joint account with the applicant's sibling
No German language certificate — only English-medium of instruction from school
Confusion over which documents the TU Berlin Anabin database required

What A-WAY did

Walked Meera through the APS process in 4 weeks (vs. typical 6–8 weeks) by pre-validating every document before submission
Restructured the family savings into the applicant's sole-ownership account (with affidavit + bank attestation) so it satisfied the blocked-account rules
Wrote a 1-page Medium of Instruction certificate explanation letter, accepted by TU Berlin
Opened the blocked account with Kotak Mahindra (Deutsche Bank partner) and deposited €11,904 in 2 tranches

Outcome

APS cleared, blocked account opened, German student visa issued by the Consulate General in Chennai in 4 weeks. Meera joined TU Berlin in October 2025 and now works 20 hours/week as a research assistant in the Algo4ML group.

“Everyone told me Germany is complicated. A-WAY made it simple. They filled my APS in 4 weeks and arranged the blocked account. I am now doing research at TU Berlin.”
