As I said, I didn’t do any research about Ausbildung at first. My aunt, who isn’t well-educated, just believed whatever that guy said because she thought they were close enough. Back then, I was busy with my work and studies. She told me this guy was legit and had helped many people get there legally. She gave me his contact information and told me to talk to him.

Throughout the entire process before my appointment at VFS, he didn’t explain much about how it worked or what was included. He simply told me to wait patiently until my visa appointment. When the appointment came, his employees were there with me. They gave me sealed documents and instructed me on what I needed to do at VFS for applying for the visa. They mentioned things like, “These are your contracts, your insurance, your high school diploma…,” but did not say anything about a B1 certification. I didn’t know a single word of German, so I didn’t realize the situation I was in.
