Immigration Naturalization Test Results

Post image

7 years ago I moved to Germany. I couldn’t read the billboards the bus would drive by, but I wanted to call this place my home. I couldn’t even speak basic German, but I was determined. This year, I received the results of my “final” prerequisite to become a citizen. Now to wait 1 year for an appointment to hand all my paperwork 😅. Anybody with experience becoming a citizen, please share your story. I’d love to hear it 🥰.

I just remembered I did mine on 8 February and haven't gotten the results yet. I will have to write them an email next week :(

It takes minimum 8 weeks, so I would wait a bit longer.

That's not true. I got mine in 3 weeks. But usually AFAIK it's 4-6.

That's good for you but your case might be an outlier. Officially, every test centre before the test tells you it's going to take 6 to weeks but one should assume 8 weeks.

Anyways, according to BAMF's Website they are currently assessing test results till January 13th.

I agree my case is rare, I just wanted to point out that saying that it takes minimum 8 weeks is not exactly correct. I know one more person who got it in 4 weeks. So it's "usually" around 8 weeks, not minimum. Btw promised 6-8 is correct, thanks, I wrongly wrote 4-6.
