Hallo! I am Faiz Shaikh. Why not Dr. Faiz Shaikh? Well that’s the next step I am working on. Although I  am a Neurosurgery resident in NRW to get a Dr. Titel in Germany  one needs to do a Dessertation/Research also known as Doktorarbeit, as one does not directly earn the Dr. title after MBBS. So here’s a little more about me and my roller coaster journey to Deutschland.

I did my MBBS and Internship in Maharashtra. Then decided to pursue PG in Germany after hearing all the perks and the fact that Surgical residency is easier to get there. Everything went smoothly while learning the language but when I applied to institutes in Germany for further course and Visa everything went downhill. It was all so disorganized and haywire. I expected better from Germany. So taking up the challenge to figure out the way on my own without taking help from costly consultants me and Nigel spent almost a year figuring out our way. We finally applied for Visa only to be rejected because a new rule came up, a new Document called Defizitbescheid was required. After spending one and a half year trying to figure it out, I gave up. Paid the consultant huge amount of money and got it all sorted. It was only when I reached Germany that I realized what part of the puzzle was missing. So Nigel and Rutuja put my new found knowledge to a test and Voila, It all worked out. Worked out for THREE TIMES LESS MONEY compared to what I paid. Obviously there were new complications but nothing costing money or a lot of time. So to sum it up, its all doable on your own if you know what to do. And trust me its a struggle but definitely WORTH IT.

And so began my journey to guiding people to get here so that they do not have to pay hefty fees like I did. Interested? Contact us for more, our aim is to guide you where you need guidance, rest you can do it on your own.
