Getting a second masters degree in Europe: visa difficulties 

[This is a throwaway account, will be deleted after I get some useful advice]

Introduction: I did BSc in EEE from a developing country (upper second class) and MSc (taught programme) from the UK (with Merit). I have been trying to secure a PhD position for past two years but I lack research experience and publications. Attended few interviews but to no avail.

My intentions: I want to do another MSc to enrich my profile (two-year full fledged programme). Also will try to participate in research activities.

My limitations: I cannot afford expensive destinations like UK or Sweden etc. In my mind Germany would be perfect. Also I'll need to work part time to support myself. I am married and will want to bring my wife in near future.

My question: Now, kind redditors, from what I learned- tuition free countries or countries with subsidised higher education are skeptical about second masters degree, and understandably so, why would they invest. While visa approval is not a sure thing in anywhere in the world, could you please help me find a study destination where second masters visa candidates are usually welcome. It would also help if you shared your own experience in this regard.

​

Thank you ever so much for each and every comment, remark or criticism you make here. Have a wonderful weekend.

N-400 form {"data":null,"error":{"developerMessage":null,"userMessage":null}} message

A few questions: I filed my N400 naturalization on March 23, 2020. Nearly one year later on Feb 2021 they sent me a notice that they'll reuse my biometrics from my green card application, but they won't refund the biometric fee! At the same time April 2021 showed up on my account as the expected completion date. Last week, the status was "17 days". Today the estimated time of completion has disappeared!!! Any idea what that means? More importantly - When I click on "View PDF" link under "N-400 Application for Naturalization", to see my actual N-400 form, I get " {"data":null,"error":{"developerMessage":null,"userMessage":null}} " message! The form is also missing under "Documents -> Your Uploads" tab! So, it appears that my N400 form is missing! What does that all mean, considering that it's impossible to file without N400 form! Finally, under profile, My name is incorrectly sp...

NVC Case FE Review note

Hi everyone, my family and I are under the F3 category and we just received a notice from NVC that our documents have been approved and that we are Documentarily Qualified. My only concern is this message that we received today in addition to the acceptance: ​ " [Name of petitioner] does not meet the minimum income requirement to sponsor the intending immigrants for this case. The consular officer will make a decision regarding this requirement at the time of the interview. For more information, please visit https://www.uscis.gov/i-864p . To avoid delays, an additional Affidavit of Support Form I-864 for a joint sponsor may be submitted." ​ We already have a petitioner and a household sponsor (the household sponsor's income is above the required level), but still unsure why we received this. Has anyone else received this message? All of our documents say "Approved" on NVC. Does this mean we have to find another sponsor? Can we show the consular officer our ...
